The foreign minister congratulated Deputy Foreign Minister Muhtarovich on the successful conclusion of the 2nd Session of Bilateral Political Consultations (BPC) between Pakistan and the Kyrgyz Republic.

Expressing satisfaction at the upward trajectory of bilateral relations, the Foreign Minister said that close coordination between the two countries at multilateral forums demonstrated the convergence of views on global and regional issues.
