President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the Nigeria-Pakistan Joint Commission will be revamped as a veritable platform to strengthen economic and trade relations between both countries.
The Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in a statement said, President Buhari gave the assurance at a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Shahid Khakan Abbasi, on the margins of the ninth D-8 summit in Istanbul, Turkey.
Buhari hailed the level of defence and military cooperation between both countries, he however agreed with the Prime Minister that there was still room to do more. He regretted that same could not be said on the economic and trade fronts, which he said had fallen far short of what can be achieved by both countries.
“Nigeria-Pakistan cooperation is very historical. Military training has been very consistent and I am impressed by the efficiency of officers trained in Pakistan.
“But the performance of our countries in relation to trade and industrial cooperation had been very disappointing,” he said.
