ISLAMABAD: (APP) Adviser to Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz on Thursday said Pakistan and Norway enjoyed cordial ties in multiple fields besides having unanimity of views on regional issues.
Addressing a joint press stakeout along with visiting Norwegian Foreign Minister Borge Brendre after their meeting here at Foreign Office, the Adviser said the bilateral ties have been reinforced by around 50,000 Pakistani diaspora in Norway, contributing to different fields including parliament, education, medicine and business.
Sartaj Aziz was surprised to know that three individuals of Pakistani origin had been elected to Norwegian parliament, fielded by three different parties.
He said 10 Norwegian companies had invested in Pakistan with Telenor being the biggest one, hoping that Commerce Minister Khurram Dastgir would visit Norway in October to discuss the ways to strengthen economic ties between Pakistan and Norway.
He said both the sides also deliberated on regional issues including Afghanistan and Kashmir and were unanimous to believe the importance of dialogue to resolve the issues.
