President Asif Ali Zardari has extended felicitations to the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, the Government and the people of Indonesia on their Independence Day.
The President in his letter stated that this historic occasion commemorates the spirit, resilience and determination of the Indonesian people as well as the leadership of the nation’s founding fathers in their struggle for freedom and independence.
President Zardari highlighted that Pakistan and Indonesia enjoy close and friendly relations founded on shared history, mutual trust, common faith and cooperation at bilateral, regional and international levels. He noted that over the years, the two countries have continued to expand collaboration across a wide range of areas including trade, investment, defence, health, education and people-to-people exchanges.
