These students will go on to contribute to Pakistan&#8217;s future and build links with Australia.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growing trade and commercial ties will support post-pandemic economic recovery in both our countries. There are many opportunities for mutual benefit, particularly in education and agriculture. Australia\u2019s excellence in innovation, science and technology provides fertile opportunities for business-to-business collaboration.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Australia has long supported Pakistan\u2019s efforts to build prosperity and inclusive development, focusing particularly on water resource management, rural productivity and gender equality.\u00a0 We also continue to stand with Pakistan in the face of COVID, strengthening Pakistan\u2019s disease detection capabilities and providing humanitarian assistance.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cricket is a shared passion for both our countries. We look forward to welcoming the Australian men&#8217;s team to Pakistan next month for the first tour in 24 years. The team is sure to receive a warm welcome, for which Pakistanis are renowned.<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Australia-Pakistan friendship, Zindabad!<\/h4>\n<p><b>Bryce Hutchesson \/ <\/b><b>Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires\/Islamabad 26 Jan 2022<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On this Australia Day \u2013 when Australians celebrate their nation, its achievements and its diverse multicultural people \u2013 it is timely to reflect on the ties between Australia and Pakistan and opportunities for further advancing the relationship between our two great countries.
