Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said Pakistan and Saudi Arabia’s leaders have agreed to establish the Saudi-Pakistan Supreme Consultative Council to enhance economic linkages through bilateral relations.
His announcement came during a joint press conference that he addressed with the Saudi Foreign Minister.
“We have made progress on what the structure should be, what the organisation would eventually look like and what should be the work plan,” the FM said. He added that there would be focal persons in both countries to manage the progress made on this front.
Qureshi further said that new areas, such as information, culture, media, and entertainment, were also considered during the bilateral talks.
“The vision 2023 means transformation, and this is one area that had never been tapped into in the past, and we can contribute to,” Qureshi said.
He pointed out that the two million Pakistanis residing in Saudi Arabia would enjoy having Pakistani films screened there, and have their preferred singers perform. “At the bilateral front we are comfortable with the way things are moving and we can only improve upon what we have,” said Foreign Minister Qureshi. He said that the two, in their meeting, focused on how to improve the economic ties between the two countries.
