“Discussing the strategic dialogue between the two countries, Asif Ali Zardari welcomed Germany’s offer to host the 6th Round of Pakistan-Germany Strategic Dialogue later this year,” the statement read.
In addition to the chamber of commerce initiative, the President also was keen about the finalization of Pakistan-Germany Climate Partnership Agreement which, he believed, is a natural next step forward because both countries share common goals when it comes to global climate challenges.
Ambassador Lepel also told the President that this is her third time serving a diplomatic assignment in Pakistan, and the second time being Germany’s ambassador to the country.
Established in December 2008, The Diplomatic Insight is Pakistan’s premier diplomacy and foreign affairs magazine, available in both digital and print formats.
