Pakistan and Denmark Bilateral Trade
The Ambassador noted that bilateral trade between Pakistan and Denmark, particularly in the textile sector, has been on the rise. He emphasized that the next phase of collaboration will focus on strengthening bilateral relations within the green and sustainable energy sector, extending to energy conservation efforts in Pakistan.
To facilitate future discussions and collaborative efforts in the power sector, a proposal was made for a cross-functional team to participate in a joint workshop at the Conference of Parties (COP). Denmark’s successful transition to sustainable energy, with a goal of reducing dependence on fossil fuels, served as an inspiring example during the meeting.
