Officials reviewed the current challenges in immigration, trade, customs, health, border demarcation, and security along the shared border.

The delegates acknowledged the progress made in implementing directives from the 14th Heads of State Summit of the Northern Corridor Integration Projects while also addressing anticipated challenges in operationalizing these initiatives.

Further, the meeting commended the successful implementation of previous resolutions and urged both nations to fully execute newly agreed recommendations to enhance bilateral cooperation.

Both delegations welcomed ongoing efforts to sustain open dialogue and collaboration, reinforcing their mutual commitment to peace and security.

Commitment to Good Neighborliness
