ISLAMABAD, (MANEND NEWS): Foreign Office Spokesperson Zahid
Hafeez Chaudhri says Pakistan and Russia are committed to building a
strong multi-dimensional relationship that not only serves their
respective national interests but also contributes to regional as well as
global peace and security.
In a statement on Monday, he said Pakistan and Russia are close
partners and friends. He said exchange of high level visits is an
important part of the growing Pakistan-Russia relations.
Responding to some media reports regarding the visit of Russian
President Vladimir Putin to Pakistan in July, Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri
said while invitations for visits at the summit level have been extended
