Pakistan & Syria agree to strengthen the brotherly ties in agriculture and trade

ISLAMABAD, Oct 18 (SABAH): The Syrian Ambassador Dr. Ramez Alraee visited Ministry of National Food Security & Research (MNFS&R) in Islamabad and met the Federal Minister Dr. Kauser Abdulla Malik.

Both sides discussed matters of mutual interest especially the exchange of students, experts and enhancing trade between two countries.

Syria and Pakistan signed MoU in 2001 but progress on agreed areas remained dormant due to precarious security situation in Syria. This will now be a good starting point for strengthening future relationship as situation has improved in Syria.
Syria recently placed a full time Ambassador in Pakistan and keen to strengthen the ties especially in Agriculture sector.
