The ambassador briefed the association board members about the current status of Pakistan-France bilateral relations and hoped that the Association of Friends of Pakistan would prove to be an effective forum to strengthen the existing friendly relations and to facilitate in further improving people-to-people contact.
Speaking on the occasion, Association President Fredrika Sundberg said that Pakistan was a great country which with its strategic location, hardworking people and rich and diverse cultural heritage had a good potential to become a developed country of the world.
