ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has emphasized the need to promote multifaceted ties, including political and trade relations, between Pakistan and European countries.
The foreign minister expressed his views during a meeting with the member of British House of Lords Lord Wajid Khan who called on him in Islamabad today (Saturday).
“Pakistan attaches great importance to its relations with Britain,” he said adding that uplift of Pakistani diaspora living abroad was among top priorities of the incumbent government.
Referring to Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK), the minister said that the resolution of the Kashmir dispute, in accordance with the UN Security Council’s resolutions, was inevitable.
On the occasion, Lord Wajid Khan lauded the efforts of FM Qureshi for highlighting the Kashmir issue internationally, assuring his all-out cooperation in this regard. He also apprised FM Qureshi of the issues faced by the Pakistani community in UK and European countries owing to the COVID-19 situation.
Earlier in January, FM Qureshi hailed a debate in the British parliament on the worsening situation in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), terming it “another diplomatic victory” of Pakistan against India.
