Talking about close bilateral relations between Pakistan and Indonesia, the head of delegation Alvi Shihab expressed his gratitude for the warm welcome and gestures which he regarded as a manifestation of the brotherly relations that existed between the two countries. He stressed that two countries shared common perceptions on regional and international issues and closely cooperated at multilateral forums, having always stood by each other in times of need but still there exists a dire need to enhance bilateral trade between Pakistan and Indonesia for making it commensurate with the warm feelings that the two countries have for each other. He further added youth from both counterparts should come forward and play pivotal role in further strengthening two-sided relations and cooperation.
