ISLAMABAD, Jan 09 (DNA): Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi
on Sunday left for Romania and Spain on his official visit from January
9-12.
During the first leg of the visit, Foreign Minister Qureshi will visit
Bucharest at the invitation of Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu from 9-10
January.
He will hold meetings with the Romanian foreign minister and other
dignitaries. Besides focusing on measures to further deepen bilateral
cooperation, the two sides will hold wide-ranging consultations on
regional and international issues.
Qureshi will subsequently visit Spain on the invitation of Foreign
Minister José Manuel Albares Bueno from 10-12 January. Besides, meeting
with his Spanish counterpart, foreign minister Qureshi will hold

A large Pakistani diaspora in Spain serves as a strong bridge between
the two countries. In 2021, Pakistan and Spain celebrated the 70th
anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.
“Romania and Spain are important partners of Pakistan, both bilaterally
and in the context of the European Union. The Foreign Minister’s visit
will give further impetus to the growing cooperation with these two
friendly countries,” the foreign office spokesperson has said in a press
release. DNA
