Expanding bilateral cooperation

According to diplomatic sources, Pakistan attaches high importance to its relationship with Croatia, a key member state of the European Union.

The visit is seen as a pivotal step in reinforcing Pakistan’s diplomatic outreach to Europe and fostering robust institutional linkages between the two nations.
