He pointed out that there was a need to work together to explore ways to enhance bilateral trade through increased business-to-business contacts and linkages.

He added that Luxembourg, being an important financial hub, could make good use of such opportunities.
The President stressed that there was great scope to enhance cultural and educational linkages, through exchange of faculty, researchers, musicians, artists, cultural troupes, and entrepreneurs of Pakistan’s growing fashion industry.
He expressed satisfaction at the cooperation between the two countries at the international fora, including the United Nations.
The President also appreciated Luxembourg’s commitment to multilateralism as well as its role in the EU affairs and NATO.
