This gesture reflected mutual respect between the leaders despite political differences. The conversation then shifted back to governance and partnership matters. Both sides agreed to maintain dialogue on future arrangements.

On the government’s side, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar attended. Prime Minister’s Adviser Rana Sanaullah was also part of the meeting.
