Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said the ECO Vision 2025 adopted
at the summit was a significant achievement, which set tangible and
pragmatic goals along with an implementation framework.
“We shall collectively endeavour to build and promote
connectivity in multiple domains, including sea, land, air and
cyberspace. This will give further impetus to intra-regional
trade,” he said.
He said Pakistan was honoured to host the summit on the
occasion of silver jubilee of the expansion of SCO membership and
expressed gratitude to the participating presidents, prime ministers
and leaders of delegation for their participation.
He mentioned that the valuable contributions of the leaders
had made the event a resounding success, who held an exhaustive
overview of matters of interests to the region.
He said the successful holding of the summit was a
manifestation of the desire and commitment of ECO member states to
transform the ECO into a vibrant and leading regional bloc.
“It is also a testament to Pakistan’s commitment to act as a
harbinger of positive change and development in the region,” he
said.
