The prime minister said that Pakistan is keen to further strengthen its multifaceted partnership with the EU.
“The prime minister reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to enhancing cooperation with the EU in key areas including trade and investment, climate change, security, migration, sustainable development, and connectivity,” the PMO said.
Discussions also focused on the regional and international situation, with the premier thanking the EU leadership for its strong support for Pakistan’s efforts for peace in the Middle East. He said that Ishaq Dar, Chief of Defence Forces and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir are playing a “crucial role” in these efforts.
He especially called on the international community, including the EU, to work collectively to ensure lasting peace in the region, the PMO said.
It added that he shared Pakistan’s perspective on the regional situation in South Asia, as well as on Afghanistan, with Kallas, also conveying his best wishes to EU Council President Antonio Costa and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and reiterating his invitations to both leaders to visit Pakistan soon.
Kallas, earlier today, termed Pakistan a major regional power and an important partner of the EU as the two sides held a strategic dialogue in Islamabad.
Addressing a joint press conference, Kallas said, “Pakistan is a major regional power and an important partner for the European Union.
“Today, in our strategic dialogue, we affirmed our shared commitment to strengthening EU-Pakistan ties even further,” she stated.
