They also discussed regional as well as international issues. Speaking on the occasion, the Foreign Minister said economic cooperation including the GSP Plus, will continue to be beneficial for Pakistan and the European Union.

Meanwhile, addressing a news conference here in Islamabad on Monday, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Senator Palwasha Khan said Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari forcefully represented Pakistan’s stance at Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in India.

She said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf is running a baseless campaign against Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. She said Imran Khan, while in government, instead of fighting with India preferred to clash with opposition.
