The seventh session of the Pak-Kazakh Joint Ministerial Commission (JMC) will take place on April 15 in Islamabad.
This was decided during a meeting between Federal Minister for Privatisation, Water and Power Syed Naveed Qamar and Ambassador of Kazakhstan Bakhitbek Shabarbayev here on Friday.
Qamar hoped that the meeting would further strengthen relations between the two countries and bilateral meetings and technical sessions between Kazakh delegates and private sector entrepreneurs of Pakistan would help in identifying areas of mutual interest to promote investment, economic and trade interaction.
“There is a vast scope for Kazakh business and investment groups to participate in various sectors under the privatisation programme of Pakistan through public-private partnership,” he added.
Shabarbayev said that a 14-member Kazakh delegation will participate in JMC meeting which will also focus on matters pertaining to initiation of a memorandum of understanding for cooperation in promoting small and medium enterprises, training of Kazakh bankers in Pakistan and formation of joint working groups to identify areas of mutual interest.
