Pakistan looked forward to early finalisation of the Agreement on Defence Co-operation. A Polish delegation is expected to visit Pakistan later this year in this regard. The Foreign Secretary also apprised the Polish leader on Pakistan's perspective on peace and stability in Afghanistan and on our relations with India. Poland appreciated Pakistan's counter terrorism efforts and expressed interest in enhancing bilateral co-operation and trade between the two countries.
