Any investment opportunities would come as a boost to Pakistan which is facing a balance of payment crisis, with foreign reserves falling to just three weeks of import cover.

Pakistan’s Finance Minister Ishaq Dar was leading the delegation to thrash out the trade agreements, which cover cooperation in fields including trade, banking, industries, energy and agriculture, the ministry added.

What will Pakistan import from Uzbek? Uzbekistani people's excrement for consumption by Pakistan's poor? I.e. as a dip for Roti as meat (for haleem), onion and pulses price increase?
