Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Monday said that Pakistan attaches great importance to its ties with Canada.
He made the remarks while addressing delegation-level talks with Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand, who arrived in Islamabad earlier in the day.
“We need to meet more frequently in our capitals. We have the possibility and the capability of raising our bilateral relations, in terms of trade, defence and investment; there is a huge scope,” he said.
Noting that there was a huge Pakistani diaspora in Canada, he said, “Pakistan attaches great importance to the long-standing relationship we have enjoyed with your country.”
He hoped that Monday’s discussion would translate “renewed momentum” into “concrete outcomes”.
