New Pak High Commissioner Takes Office


New Pakistani high commissioner to Bangladesh Mian Afrasiab Mehdi Hashmi Qureshi has presented his credentials to the President Mohammad Zillur Rahman on Tuesday.



The high commission issued a statement for the media where it was said that the matters of mutual interest were discussed in a meeting with the President.



The statement also read that Pakistan greatly values its relations with Bangladesh and considers Bangladesh as a brotherly Islamic country.



Mian Afrasiab Mehdi Hashmi Qureshi is one of the Pakistani diplomats specialized on South Asian affairs. Before being sent to the country's Bangladesh mission, Hashmi was serving as the director general of Pakistan's foreign office's department for South Asia.



Hashmi played a key role amid the secretarial talks between India and Pakistan last year on efforts to fight terrorism and prisoners' exchange between the two nations.
