“This document is a new page in the history of our cooperation. I am sure that the memorandum will give impetus to the relationship. We will exchange visits, said Natalia Kochanova, Chairman of the Council of the Republic.

The speaker stressed that cooperation between Belarus and Pakistan is at a high level. This is confirmed by the warm relations between the leaders of the countries, as well as regular mutual visits and the signing of a roadmap for cooperation for the period from 2025 to 2027.

“We would also like to promote inter-parliamentary cooperation. Despite the fact that this is the first visit of the Speaker of the Upper House of Parliament of Pakistan to us in almost 10 years, we have built a very good interaction with colleagues at international venues, she said.

Natalia Kochanova emphasized the importance of cooperation in trade, economic, scientific and technical fields.

“Parliamentarians promote this cooperation. The economy is in charge. Today, the Pakistani delegation has yet to visit the enterprises and institutions of our country. I am sure that this will be a significant contribution to trade and economic cooperation between the countries, the speaker concluded.

The parliamentary delegation of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, headed by the Chairman of the Senate Said Yusuf Raza Gilani, arrived in Belarus at the invitation of Natalia Kochanova. The purpose of the visit is to strengthen Belarusian-Pakistani cooperation and implement joint projects in the field of trade, economy and humanitarian initiatives.
