In order to simplify the transfer of professional labor, the two countries have also agreed to undertake language proficiency assessments for the Japanese language in Pakistan.
According to Foreign Minister Bilawal, the two countries also recognized language training and the export of young, competent Pakistani human resources to Japan as key areas of collaboration.
The foreign minister stated, "We also discussed investments and joint ventures by Japanese businesses in Pakistan."
He promised to contact local media, the commercial sector, and think tanks during his visit in order to "further broaden our engagement."
"I think that both sides need to continue to be engaged at all levels to advance constructive dialogue and keep looking for new ways to work together."
