PM Sharif eyes $1bn trade volume as Pakistan, Kazakhstan ink over 30 MoUs

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday urged an increase in trade volume between Pakistan and Kazakhstan to $1 billion as both countries signed over 30 memoranda of understanding (MoUs) in several sectors, including petroleum, mining, and maritime affairs. Addressing a joint press conference after the signing ceremony, the prime minister said the existing level of trade between Islamabad and Astana did not reflect the true strength of relations or the economic potential of the two sides.
