Felicitations to new EU leadership

The Government and leadership of Pakistan extend felicitations to the President of the European Council Charles Michel, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice President of the European Commission Joseph Borrell, and the new College of European Commissioners, on assumption of their respective offices.

Pakistan values its close, cooperative relations with the European Union based on shared commitment to peace and development. The long term and broad-based partnership between the two sides for peace, progress and prosperity of our peoples is pursued through robust institutional mechanisms and dialogue frameworks. The Strategic Engagement Plan (SEP) between Pakistan and the European Union would further deepen our multifaceted relationship in all spheres of cooperation.

Pakistan looks forward to working with the new leadership of the European Union and its member states, to advance our shared goals and interests.
