ISLAMABAD: On February 18, Ambassador Albert P. Khorev delivered a lecture on Russia-Pakistan relations to students of Bahria University.
The Ambassador highlighted that, despite the difficult nature of international relations, cooperation between Moscow and Islamabad has always been constructive, as evidenced by industrial projects implemented in Pakistan with the support of the Soviet Union in the 1970s and 1980s, including the construction of the Karachi Steel Mills and the Guddu Thermal Power Plant. He emphasized that modern Russia-Pakistan relations are characterized by increasingly dynamic political, economic, and humanitarian contacts.
Ambassador Khorev also updated the students on the situation in and around Ukraine. He focused on the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis and the destructive role of Western countries in destabilizing the Eurasian region.
Ambassador also drew the audience’s attention to the Russian Federation’s vital efforts to uphold the rights of the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine.
On the sidelines of the event, the Ambassador met with the Rector of Bahria University, Vice Admiral Abid Hameed HI(M). The parties discussed the prospects of developing partnerships with relevant Russian universities and expressed interest in continuing academic cooperation.
