ISLAMABAD, April 10: Pakistan and South Korea have agreed that the pandemic necessitated closer international cooperation and they should stay engaged on the issue and other matters of mutual interest as well.
This understanding was reached during a telephonic conversation between Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi and his South Korean Counterpart Kang Kyung-wha on Friday.
Foreign Minister Qureshi commended the South Korean government for its effective response against Covid-19 that had been widely acknowledged by the international community.
The foreign minister also highlighted concerns relating to on-going restrictions in Indian Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IOJ&K), which were hampering the dissemination of information and preventing unfettered supply of medicines and other essentials needed to combat the pathogen. -TLTP
