Relations with Russia are a priority for Pakistan, they do not depend on external factors and are marked by trust and mutual benefits, Pakistan's Ambassador to Russia, Shafqat Ali Khan, said on Monday at a webinar organized by the Russian Council on Foreign Affairs and the Pakistani Strategic Vision Institute.


"Relations with Russia remain an important priority of Pakistan's foreign policy," the diplomat said. - "Our bilateral relations are self-sufficient, they are neither the product of any specific geopolitical rivalry nor relations with third countries".


He added that the ties between the two countries "are marked by strategic trust and developing mutually beneficial cooperation." "I would like to emphasize: in a broader context, we look at Russia as a factor of stability in the region," the Ambassador pointed out.
