Syrian-Pakistani relations are based on friendship, consultation and mutual understanding regarding all national, regional and international issues of common interest. In an report by SANA on Tuesday, Pakistani Ambassador to Syria Abdulmouez Bukhari described relations between the two states as fraternal on the popular and official levels, referring to Syria's support to boost friendship and cooperation in all domains. " Pakistan looks for expanding and rising trade and economic cooperation between the two countries to the aspired level", Bukhari added. He also expressed hope over increasing trade exchange between the two sides, pointing out that Pakistan exports to Syria amount to USD 43 million compared with USD 20 million the Syrian exports to Pakistan, adding that the two states signed many agreements in all domains to develop cooperation between them. The Ambassador noted that his country looks forward to establish joint projects in the infrastructure and technology domains in addition to railways, cement factories and space researches, saying Pakistan welcomes Syrian investment projects. Pakistan has always defended Arab and Islamic issues, particularly its continued support to Syria's right to restore the occupied Golan and to solve the Arab-Israeli conflict, " Support to Arabs and Muslims' right to restore their usurped rights is a basic factor in the Pakistani foreign policy", the Ambassador said. In return, Syria supports any solution to Kashmir issue through peaceful dialogue. On the international level, the Ambassador underscored that Syria and Pakistan are allies in the international war on terrorism, asserting that terrorism should not be fought through military solutions rather than through combating its reasons such as poverty, injustice and aggression as well as through spreading culture of tolerance and through economic development. The Ambassador said Pakistan has launched huge programs in fields of economic and social reforms and it seeks to play an important role at the international community to support the Islamic correct project.
