- Friendly ties between two countries can be traced back to 1947 when Pakistan’s founder visited Egypt
- Both countries renew commitment to further deepen bilateral cooperation in all areas, says state media
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and Egypt unveiled a commemorative stamp on Wednesday to mark 75 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the state-run Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported, renewing their commitment to strengthen bilateral cooperation.
Pakistan and Egypt, both Muslim-majority nations, enjoy cordial ties with each another. The two have resolved to enhance bilateral trade in recent years by facilitating businessmen from their countries through visas, exchanging trade-related information, and promoting private sector contacts.
Friendly ties between the two countries can be traced back to 1947 when Pakistan gained independence and its founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, visited Egypt at the special invitation of King Fuad II.
“Pakistan and Egypt on Wednesday unveiled a commemorative postage stamp to mark 75 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries,” APP said.
Foreign Secretary Muhammad Syrus Sajjad Qazi and Egyptian Ambassador to Pakistan Dr. Ilab Abdelhamid unveiled the special postage stamp issued by Pakistan Post.
“They reaffirmed their commitment to further deepening and strengthening bilateral cooperation in all areas of mutual interest,” the state-run media reported.
