MOSCOW, Russia: Pakistan’s Ambassador to Russia Shafqat Ali Khan has said that Islamabad is interested in increasing the volume of investment from Moscow.

“There was an old legal dispute on our Soviet debt which was part of litigation in Pakistan, which prevented Russian investments in Pakistan. Last year we resolved that problem. So that problem was taken care of. So now we are ready to take off in the commercial and investment field,” Shafqat Ali said.

“We think we can invest much more in one of our top priorities in our foreign policy – strong relations with Russia,” he continued.

“And we are sure that much more can be achieved, and there are many opportunities for win-win cooperation of Pakistan and Russia in these strong relationships.”
