Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaiser on Monday said that promotion of trade and economic links between Pakistan and Afghanistan would usher into new era of socio-economic development and would help bring people of the two sides closer.
He expressed these views while addressing the opening session of two-day seminar “Pakistan- Afghanistan trade and investment forum 2020” in Islamabad.
Speaker National Assembly said that 2,640 Kilometers Pak-Afghan border is not only the longest border that Pakistan shares with any of its neighboring country, it is also the thread which weaves our two nations into a historic tapestry of social, cultural, linguistic, economic, religious and fraternal ties.
He said that Pakistan values the common bond that binds Pakistan and Afghanistan together and it is important for the leadership of two sides to create harmony, develop understanding and build consensus amongst ourselves to seek solutions of our common problems.
He called for building a united front against the scourges of our time especially poverty and instability.
