Read on Pakistan Cyber Force Facebook Page

Pakistan and Indonesia signed an agreement on Friday in Jakarta on abolition of diplomatic and official visas. This move is going to further pave the way for enhanced exchanges and linkages between the two brotherly Muslim countries. Foreign Minister of both countries signed the agreement and termed it as a pre-cursor to relaxing the visa regime between the two countries even further in future. Both sides announced the road map for future engagements that encompassed meeting of joint working group on counter-terrorism in Jakarta on December 13-14, joint commission meeting headed by the foreign ministers as well as visits of the Indonesian defence and foreign ministers to Pakistan next year.

Pakistan and Indonesia would also hold bilateral talks in 2011. Although both countries enjoy deep-rooted, friendly and tension-free relations, yet there was a need for a re-engagement with a new vigour and zeal especially focusing on economic cooperation, business and trade linkages.

During the delegation level talks, both sides agreed to enhance cooperation against terrorism and welcomed the forthcoming meeting of the joint working group on counter-terrorism in this regard. Foreign Minister Natalegawa said flood devastation in Pakistan was unprecedented. He said the remarkable resilience shown by the people of Pakistan in the face of such a huge tragedy was extremely appreciable. He proposed active cooperation between the disaster control centre of ASEAN and the Pakistani organizations dealing with disaster management, to which his Pakistani counterpart expressed his consent.
