Pakistan PM extends warm felicitations to CA Yunus on National Day of Bangladesh, hails new era in relations

Pakistan Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has extended warm felicitations to Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus on the occasion of Independence and National Day of Bangladesh.

The Pakistani PM, however, termed the occasion as only National Day of Bangladesh, not Independence and National Day.

In his message, the prime minister conveyed his best wishes on behalf of the people and government of Pakistan, emphasising the deep historical, cultural, and religious ties between the two countries, the Pakistan High Commission Bangladesh said in a statement today.

Shehbaz said, "Pakistan-Bangladesh relations have entered a new era of understanding and cooperation in recent times, largely due to the personal interest and sagacity of Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus."

He recalled his productive and cordial meetings with the chief adviser in New York and Cairo last year, where both leaders discussed ways to further enhance cooperation in various areas of mutual interest. 

The Pakistani PM said, "I am confident that through our joint efforts and understandings, we can open a new chapter of mutually beneficial cooperation between our two countries that will also contribute to fostering development and prosperity in the South Asian region." 

The statement states that Shehbaz extended his sincere wishes for the continued peace, progress, and prosperity of the brotherly people of Bangladesh, as well as good health and happiness for Chief Adviser Muhammad Yunus.
