Pakistan committed to promoting regional peace: Musadik Malik
ISLAMABAD, Sep 29 (APP): Federal Minister for Climate Change Musadik Malik reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to promoting regional and global peace, saying the country would continue to contribute to international stability amid changing geopolitical circumstances.
Addressing a reception marking the Czech National Day and Czech Armed Forces Day here Tuesday, the minister said Pakistan had made sustained efforts to promote regional peace and remained committed to contributing to stability across the world.
Referring to the defence-industrial and logistics cooperation agreement signed between Pakistan and the Czech Republic in 2021, he said Pakistan would seek to utilize the existing framework to contribute to global stability and promote peace and hope for younger generations.
“While the world has been talking about net security provider, Pakistan has taken upon herself to become the net peace provider,” he said.
Musadik Malik said Pakistan’s prime minister and field marshal were committed to promoting peace and that the country would continue its efforts to advance regional and global stability.
Highlighting the longstanding relations between Pakistan and the Czech Republic, he said that bilateral ties predated Pakistan’s independence and encompassed commercial, technological, educational and defence cooperation.
Citing Bata’s presence in Pakistan and the establishment of Batapur as examples of longstanding commercial ties, the minister said the company remained widely recognized across the country.
Recalling his tenure as minister for power, he said Czech technology, including turbines and machinery, had contributed to Pakistan’s energy infrastructure, including projects at Mangla.
He also highlighted educational cooperation between the two countries, saying that hundreds of Pakistani students were studying at Czech universities, where they had opportunities to learn about new technologies, business models and international practices.
The Czech Republic provided Pakistani students with opportunities for international exposure and to develop skills that could help them become global citizens, he added.
The minister expressed pleasure at attending the reception and appreciated the Czech Republic’s cultural heritage and the historic beauty of Prague.
He reiterated Pakistan’s desire to strengthen bilateral relations with the Czech Republic and expand cooperation in areas contributing to peace, stability and prosperity.
