While emphasising the significance of regional connectivity, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif restated Pakistan’s willingness to offer Tajikistan with access to Gwadar and Karachi ports on Thursday.
The premier emphasised the extension of cooperation in the fields of road transport and aviation linkages during a meeting with President Emomali Rahmon in Kazakhstan’s capital Astana.
The two leaders agreed to strengthen high-level contacts, inter-parliamentary links, and technical-level discussions on the margins of the 6th Summit of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA).
The prime minister emphasised the importance of increased collaboration in the energy industry.
It was decided that the CASA 1000 project, which would be a forerunner of future energy corridors with Central Asia, would be completed as soon as possible.
PM Shehbaz informed the Tajik President on the government’s restoration efforts in the aftermath of the country’s devastating floods.
He emphasised the importance of working together to address the growing threat of climate-change-related catastrophic catastrophes.
President Rahmon informed Prime Minister Shehbaz of Tajikistan’s continuous assistance in this matter, including the dispatch of an extra convoy of trucks bringing critical flood relief supplies.
The prime minister remembered his meeting with Tajik President Emomali Rahmon last month on the margins of the SCO Summit in Uzbekistan’s ancient city of Samarkand, and expressed delight with the gradually expanding bilateral interaction in a variety of fields.
The two presidents also addressed regional and global topics of common concern, and they agreed on the need of working together to improve regional peace, stability, and security.
Both parties also agreed to further up their efforts to promote stronger economic cooperation, notably in trade, energy, and connectivity.
