Dhaka: Pakistan has announced to lift all visa restrictions for Bangladeshis in a move to warm up the frosty relation it has with Bangladesh.
"Pakistan has already removed all restrictions on Pakistani visas for Bangladeshi citizens," said a statement by the Pakistan High Commission in Bangladesh after a meeting between Pakistani High Commissioner Imran Ahmed Siddiqui and Bangladesh's State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam on January 7.
"The two sides agreed to intensify bilateral contacts at all levels," the statement added.
According to reports, Siddiqui said Pakistan is waiting for the same response from the Bangladeshi side. "Bangladesh's restrictions on Pakistani nationals are still in place, and that is why I informed the state minister that we have already lifted all bars from our side," he said.
