EXTEND my heartiest felicitations on the National Day of Portugal. Portugal`s history reflects a long tradition of cultural exchange that makes it a unique place in Europe a place where different communities continue to live, work and grow together.

As Pakistan and Portugal mark 75 years of diplomatic relations, we reflect on our part-nerships in education, research, innovation, technology, business, and joint investment in digital learning.

The two countries have cooperated at multilateral fora and share commonality of views. As lower riparian countries, Pakistan and Portugal are conscious of sanctity of treaties and must denounce weaponisation of waters.

The future of Pakistan and Portugal will be built through trust, shared efforts, and a common vision. •
