The signing ceremony took place in a warm and cordial atmosphere during a Networking Dinner hosted by the Indonesian Consulate General in Karachi at Hotel Santika BSD on Saturday evening (18 October), marking a milestone in strengthening people-to-people and business-to-business relations between both nations.
