British High Commissioner Adam Thomson called on Chief Minister Punjab Mian Shahbaz Sharif on Tuesday and discussed key issues relating bilateral interests and enhancing cooperation in various sectors.
Shahbaz told the UK high commissioner that his government strongly believed in self reliance and preferred trade than aid. He stressed the need of boosting bilateral cooperation between Pakistan and UK in various sectors including economy, trade, energy and others.
The chief minister told Thomsan that next general elections were going to be held soon and it was hoped that consensus on caretaker setup would be developed shortly.
Shahbaz expressed hope that the masses, learning from the lesson of the past, would elect honourable leadership that would be eligible to represent the masses and help in resolving their hardships besides pulling the country out of prevailing crises.
Speaking on the occasion, the UK high commissioner said that his country gave high importance to relations with Pakistan and assured cooperation with the Punjab government in promoting education and others sectors.
