Qazi Khalilullah also said that Pakistan has embarked upon a policy of constructive engagement with countries in the region and beyond.

Recently, the two countries have increased their bilateral cooperation especially in defence sector as in November last year, they signed a defence cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening military-to-military relations.

The Pakistan army chief General Raheel Sharif is also currently in Russia on a three-day visit to witness the ‘Army-2015′ international military forum in Kubinka near Moscow.
