Pakistan has announced a new visa policy allowing citizens from 126 countries, including Bangladesh, to travel to Pakistan without a visa fee, to enhance diplomatic and people-to-people ties, UNB reports.
Pakistan's High Commissioner to Bangladesh, Syed Ahmad Maroof, informed about this development to the Home Affairs Adviser, Lt Gen (Retd) Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury during a meeting held on Monday at the Secretariat.
During the meeting, the high commissioner highlighted that the new visa policy, which was introduced two weeks ago, aims to simplify travel procedures and promote tourism and business between Pakistan and the included countries.
Bangladesh, being one of the 126 nations on the list, stands to benefit from this initiative.
Maroof emphasized that this policy is part of Pakistan's broader efforts to strengthen bilateral relations and enhance cooperation with Bangladesh.
He also expressed optimism that the travel arrangement without any visa fee would lead to increased interactions in various sectors, including trade, education, and cultural exchanges.
