Speaker National Assembly says Pakistan attaches immense importance to its relations with Czech Republic and desires their further consolidation through people to people and parliamentary contacts.

He was talking to a five-member Czech Parliamentary delegation led by Member of Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic Daniel Pawlas in Islamabad on Monday.

The Speaker was convinced that the instant visit of the Czech Parliamentarians would prove instrumental in fostering coordination and understanding between the legislative bodies of the two countries.

Apprising the delegation about immense economic opportunities arising out of the economic reforms introduced by the government and the CPEC, the Speaker said that Czech investors must seize those opportunities for mutual benefit of both the countries. He suggested for Czech participation in the energy, infrastructure, manufacturing and agriculture sectors for which Pakistan and Czech Diplomatic Missions in Prague and Islamabad, respectively could play a proactive role.

He further informed that reforms in economy also aimed at sustainable economic growth and social sector development. The Speaker suggested for formation of a joint working group comprising Members of Parliamentary Friendship Group on both sides to discuss, identify and formulate recommendation for future cooperation between both the countries.

Daniel Pawlas was optimistic that the Pakistan government's endeavors would help improve the socio-economic conditions in the country and extended his country's all-out support in that regard. He also expressed his deep appreciation and acknowledgment for Pakistan's contribution in its peace initiatives.
