Marat Khusnullin held a working meeting with Deputy Prime Minister of Afghanistan for Economic Affairs Abdul Ghani Baradar

“Pakistan is an important partner for our country in South Asia. Our relations with Islamabad are developing dynamically in almost all areas. I believe that they need to be further developed. One of the key issues is reliable and uninterrupted mutual settlements. Today, the share of non-Western currencies in the structure of bilateral settlements between Russia and Pakistan is already about 80%. This is a very good result. I hope that we will continue to work using the Russian financial messaging system and the Mir payment system,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

According to him, another important issue is related to transport corridors. Cargo transportation to Pakistan by road is developing. And here the importance of the international transport corridor “North-South” is growing.

“Also a very important point is our cooperation within the SCO. I hope that we will be able to continue to effectively interact in this area. I am confident that this meeting and the participation of the Pakistani delegation in the forum will give a good impetus to the development of bilateral cooperation,” Marat Khusnullin emphasized.

In addition, he held a working meeting with Deputy Prime Minister of Afghanistan for Economic Affairs Abdul Ghani Baradar. During the event, representatives of the Afghan delegation noted that their foreign policy is aimed at the economic development of the country, they are focused on cooperation, a potential direction of which could be trade and economic cooperation – projects in the field of agriculture, energy, transport infrastructure and mechanical engineering, mining industry.
