Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said he was trying to turn a new page with its neighbours and stressed greater connectivity among the Asian countries for their mutual development and prosperity.
Nawaz addressed the Asian Parliamentary Assembly (APA) in Islamabad, saying that such kind of regional parliamentary forums can generate joint strategies to effectively deal with the critical issues of energy, growth and environment, which are common to the most of Asia, the Daily Times reports.
The PM said the APA provides an excellent opportunity to legislatures across Asia to connect with each other and learn from each other's experiences.
He also expressed satisfaction over the commonalities in APA and Pakistan's ideals concerning strengthening democracy, peace, development, regional cooperation, security and well-being of the people across the Asian continent.
