The visit of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to Islamabad in April was the first such top-level engagement in almost a decade.
The visit underscored the importance of the bilateral relations between Russia and Pakistan. The crucial talks that Lavrov had with the Pakistani leadership centered on diverse fields including economy, finance, trade and defence.
In their joint press conference, the Pakistani foreign minister and his Russian counterpart acknowledged the need for more engagement at various levels to unpack the potential of ties that have, for a large part, been cold. However, as the visit by the top Russian diplomat underlined, there is a shared desire to reverse the legacy of the past and carve out an independent niche that is in line with the reality of the present times.
