Zaheer A Janjua, Pakistan’s ambassador-designate to Russia on Tuesday called on President Mamnoon Hussain at the Aiwan-e-Sadr.
The president while felicitating the ambassador-designate on his new responsibilities said that Pakistan values its relations with Russia and urged the newly appointed ambassador to focus on further cementing Pakistan’s bilateral relations with Russia.
He said that Pakistan and Russia were important players in the region and therefore the two countries needed to further consolidate their relations and enhance mutual cooperation for peace, prosperity and stability of the region.
The president also urged the ambassador-designate to especially focus on enhancing trade ties of the country with the host country as the current volume of bilateral trade does not commensurate with the trade potential existing between the two countries.
