During the meeting, both leaders discussed a wide array of issues concerning Bangladesh-Pakistan relations. General Mirza expressed Pakistan's interest in expanding cooperation in multiple sectors. He noted the vast potential for trade, investment, and defence collaboration.
“Our two countries will support each other," General Mirza said, adding that a two-way shipping route between Karachi and Chittagong has already commenced operations.
According to Yunus' office, plans are also underway to inaugurate a Dhaka-Karachi air route within the coming months, further enhancing connectivity between the nations.
Both sides emphasised the growing importance of bilateral trade and investment as a cornerstone of stronger relations. The meeting explored opportunities for Pakistani businesses to invest in Bangladesh and vice versa, while also identifying areas for joint ventures in logistics, transport, and port infrastructure.
The discussions also highlighted how enhanced connectivity could facilitate not only commerce but also cultural exchange, tourism, and stronger people-to-people contacts.
In addition to bilateral issues, the leaders exchanged views on pressing global concerns, including de-escalating tensions in the Middle East and Europe. The challenge of misinformation and the misuse of social media by non-state actors was a key topic.
“Fake news and disinformation have flooded social media. It is being used to sow chaos. There must be a concerted global effort to combat this menace," Yunus remarked.
