PARIS, Jun 22 (NNI): Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman have agreed to expedite the collaborative process in order to further bolster the bilateral cooperation.
The understanding to this effect reached during an interaction between the two leaders on the sidelines of the New Global Financing Pact Summit being held at Paris in France. The two leaders also exchanged views on matters of bilateral interest.
The premier expressed his best wishes for the Saudi Crown Prince. Prince Muhammad bin Salman also expressed his goodwill for the Pakistan government and its people.
PM Shehbaz joined the world leaders here at the inaugural session of the Summit for New Global Financing Pact.
French President Emmanuel Macron is chairing the summit which is being attended by over 50 heads of states.
PM Sharif will also address the summit and highlight Pakistan’s position on the need for restructuring of international financial institutions to fight the contemporary challenges facing humanity. As a leading stakeholder in G-77 plus China grouping and also as a country adversely hit by climate change threat, Pakistan is better positioned for this role.
The two-day summit will conclude on June 23 (Friday). Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif arrived here on Wednesday on official visit to attend the summit, on the invitation of the French president.
The prime minister was warmly received by Pakistan’s ambassador in France and diplomatic officials, besides senior French government authorities.
During the visit, the prime minister will also hold bilateral meetings with different heads of states. NNI
