"We are also thinking to work together on poverty reduction, to control extremism and peace and communal harmony", the Information minister said.
"On the basis of forgiveness and forgetting both the countries can work together." "Pakistan has no interest in internal affairs of Bangladesh and duo can work for economic development and sustainability."
