Malaysia for advanced economic ties

Malaysia and Pakistan through enhanced cooperation and joint initiatives can advance in social and economic fields

KARACHI: Malaysia and Pakistan through enhanced cooperation and joint initiatives can advance in various social and economic fields, said Malaysian Consul General Khairul Nazran Abd Rehman.

“Bilateral cooperation between the two countries is not confined to political and economic spheres only and is in other areas as well such as education, tourism, defence and technical assistance,” he added while speaking at a press conference in connection with celebrations for Malaysia’s National Day.

Malaysia and Pakistan had enjoyed warm and friendly relations since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1957, he said. Both the countries shared a similar position on regional and international issues through their membership in the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), Organisation for Islamic Conference (OIC) and G77. In addition to these, Pakistan is also a dialogue partner of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and a member of the Asean Regional Forum.
