Speaking at a joint news conference, Moscow’s top diplomat said Russia wanted to deepen ties with Pakistan in all fields. “We stand ready to strengthen the anti-terrorist potential of Pakistan, including by supplying Pakistan with special military equipment,” he said, without providing specifics details.
