<h1>Two countries pledge stronger bilateral ties to boost sustainable trade, ease regulatory barriers, deepen energy and labour cooperation</h1> Two countries reaffirmed a steady bilateral relationship and committed to expand two-way trade sustainably by addressing non-tariff barriers and regulatory impediments, with emphasis on increasing exports in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, textiles and securing long-term fertiliser supplies. They agreed to deepen energy cooperation and labour mobility in sectors like IT and construction, pursue joint counter-terrorism measures and seek resolution of cases involving their nationals serving in the other country's armed forces. Both parties endorsed global governance reform including Security Council expansion, discussed regional conflicts, and prepared for an annual summit while noting external trade sanctions that affect energy procurement.
