ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is a diversified country. However, only a negative image is being projected in the Western world, Senate Chairman Mian Raza Rabbani said on Tuesday. He was talking to Romanian Ambassador Nicolae Goia at the Parliament House. “Pakistan places its mutual relations with Romania at high esteem and desires to further expand these ties in different sectors,” he said. Both of them agreed to boost the parliamentary linkages to explore the avenues for enhanced economic ties for mutual benefit of the people of both the countries. “Both the countries have long relationship on bilateral level and we would like to establish strong cooperation between the Parliaments of two countries.
