Expressing hope for an early finalisation of a roadmap for strategic partnership between Pakistan and Germany, President Asif Ali Zardari on Monday said time had come to transform existing broad-based equation with Germany into a broad-based, comprehensive and substantive partnership based on shared values of democracy, pluralism, economic liberalism and common interests. He was talking to Dr Guido Westerwelle, German federal minister for foreign affairs, at the Presidency. The president said Pakistan sought to further enhance its relations with Germany, both at the bilateral level as well as in the EU context.
The president stressed the need for greater economic cooperation between the two countries, saying Germany was a global economic power and Pakistan offered great opportunities to investors in economic projects.
