Islamabad is keen to re-establish direct air connectivity between Pakistan and Bangladesh for further advancing the trade and economic relations between the two countries.

This was revealed today when Pakistan High Commissioner to Bangladesh Syed Ahmed Maroof paid a courtesy call on foreign adviser Md. Touhid Hossain at the foreign ministry in Dhaka on Tuesday.

During the meeting, the envoy also urged for easing visas for Pakistani nationals to Bangladesh for enhancing people-to-people contact, a foreign ministry's press release said.

Referring to his meeting with the Chief Adviser, Maroof assured full support of his government in any initiative to reinvigorate the SAARC and expressed hope that Bangladesh and Pakistan will continue to work closely at other multilateral fora.
