DUSHANBE, Tajikistan: The Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has noted that there is immense potential to further strengthen bilateral cooperation between Pakistan and Kazakhstan in diverse fields including trade, aviation, railways, and connectivity, the Dispatch News Desk (DND) news agency reported.

In the meeting, it was agreed between the two sides to optimally utilize the bilateral institutional mechanisms to promote practical cooperation, particularly through the Inter-Governmental Commission (IGC), Bilateral Political Consultations (BPC), and Joint Working Groups (JWG) in relevant fields.
