General Bajwa also highlighted Pakistan's efforts for restoring regional peace that will lead to better trade connectivity.
For our region to develop, he said "we need to have greater regional connectivity amongst all neighbours".
Referring to the seminar, the COAS said such types of interactions are important to enable both government and other stakeholders in exchanging their views on issues of national importance.
