[The Unmistakable]

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday expressed his government''s commitment to an early realisation of CASA-1000 project that will allow the government to import 1000MW electricity to the country. The Prime Minister stated this in a meeting with his Tajik counterpart Qahir Rasulzada at the State Guest House in the capital of Tajikistan, a statement by the Press Wing of Prime Minister''s Office said.

The meeting reviewed bilateral co-operation in trade, energy and communication sector. The two sides observed that the bilateral trade between two countries had increased from $15 million in 2011 to the highest level of $93 million in 2013. Prime Minister Sharif stressed that there was much more scope to increase the bilateral trade.

He offered Tajikistan to use Pakistani seaports for its imports and exports and added that it would facilitate promotion of economic relations. Nawaz Sharif said that road link between Pakistan and Tajikistan through Wakhan corridor could further improve the economic ties while the other regional countries will also benefit due to better connectivity and rise in economic activities in the region. He said Pakistan attaches great importance to cordial relations with Tajikistan and considers Tajikistan a key partner of peace, security and stability in the region.

He said he looked forward to participating in the forthcoming SCO Summit at Dushanbe and expressed confidence that Tajikistan would support Pakistan''s full membership of SCO. Minister for Water and Power Khawaja Asif, Minister for Textile Abbas Khan Afridi and Special Assistant to PM Tariq Fatemi also attended the meeting.
