The minister said, \u201cLaw will and shall take its course but when it comes to dealing with long term consequences, there is nothing better than culture. In culture, cinema holds special place, so we must promote good cinemas.<\/h5>\n
\u201c He assured the Kazakh envoy of all-out support of the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and its attached departments. \u201cKazakhstan is not a far away land\u201d as it was connected with Pakistan both geographically and culturally, he added.<\/strong><\/h5>\n
\u201cThere is a great future for cooperation between Pakistan and Kazakhstan,\u201d he said, noting that the screening of the film \u201cshould be a learning experience and a point of departure to deepen our relationship to new heights.\u201d<\/h5>\n
