Envoy: (High Commissioner-designate to Malaysia calls on President)

ISLAMABAD:Pakistan and Malaysia enjoy close and fraternal relations based on solid foundation of a shared faith, culture, and cooperation, said President Dr Arif Alvi, while talking to High Commissioner-designate to Malaysia, Ms. Amna Baloch, who called on him at Aiwan-e-Sadr, Islamabad on Friday.

The President reiterated that Pakistan will never condone the blatant human rights violation in Indian-Occupied Kashmir and will always stand by its Kashmiri brethren. He underscored that all High Commissioners and Ambassadors must highlight the Kashmir issue and Indian oppression in Occupied Kashmir.

Given the high importance Pakistan attaches to its relations with Malaysia, the President urged the High Commissioner-designate to make efforts to further strengthen bilateral relations. He emphasized that efforts should be made to enhance Pakistan’s exports through special focus on value added products.

He directed the High Commissioner-designate to promote the investment-friendly policies of Pakistan and urge Malaysian investors to fully utilize these opportunities. He also emphasized the need for bolstering our tourism sector, which has huge growth potential. President wished High Commissioner-designate a successful stay in Malaysia and hoped that her tenure will bring more vigour and energy to the bilateral relations.
