Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States, Masood Khan, on Wednesday highlighted the significant trade and investment potential between Pakistan and the Bahamas in the tourism, financial services and information technology sectors.
“By developing joint ventures and leveraging our respective strengths, we can unlock significant economic opportunities that will benefit both countries,” said Ambassador Khan when he presented Cynthia A. Pratt, Governor General of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, with her non-resident ID . card. High Commissioner was appointed.
The Ambassador thanked the Bahamian government for supporting Pakistan’s candidacy to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and said cooperation in multilateral organizations creates great opportunities for both countries to promote common goals and address global challenges such as climate change.
He also highlighted the Bahamas’ active participation in the Caribbean (CARICOM), saying it was an important link for Pakistan to strengthen its ties with the regional bloc.
Meanwhile, Pratt accepted Ambassador Khan’s credentials and said that the Bahamas deeply admires Pakistan’s rich cultural heritage, diverse traditions and the extraordinary resilience of its people.
“The Bahamas recognizes Pakistan’s important contribution to regional stability and global peacekeeping efforts,” he said, adding that the Caribbean nation stands united with Islamabad in achieving peace, stability and prosperity.
The Governor General assured that his government continues to find ways to enhance cooperation with Pakistan in various sectors such as trade, tourism, education and cultural exchange.
“I believe that by using each other’s strengths and resources, we can create a brighter and more prosperous future for our people.”
Responding to the sentiments of Pakistan’s leaders, Governor General Pratt welcomed President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the people of Pakistan.
