Shehbaz Sharif: Belarus can help Pakistan achieve its goals

ISLAMABAD, 26 November (BelTA) – Belarus can help Pakistan in many ways to achieve its goals, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said during expanded-format talks with Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko in Islamabad on 26 November, BelTA has learned.

The prime minister emphasized that the Belarusian leader is a great friend of Pakistan and they had already discussed a number of pressing and important issues in a one-on-one format. “You are a man of action, so today we will try to talk less and do more,” Shehbaz Sharif said.

According to him, Pakistan is interested in Belarus' technologies in heavy industry, mechanical engineering, and agriculture, among others. “We produce agricultural products, textiles, and these industries need technologies. Belarus can provide us with such technologies. We believe that your great country can help Pakistan in many ways achieve its goals,” the prime minister said.

He suggested that members of the delegations discuss in detail promising areas of cooperation so that no agreements will remain just on paper.
