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
