Islamabad, 19 August 2024 (TDI): The Ambassador of Poland to Pakistan Maciej Pisarski called on Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan on Monday to discuss new opportunities for enhancing trade between the two countries.

Ambassador Pisarski congratulated Minister Kamal on the successful organization of FoodAg 2024, a major international food and agriculture expo held recently in Karachi. The event saw the participation of over 800 foreign delegates and generated significant business activity. “The successful holding of FoodAg 2024 is a positive signal regarding Pakistan’s economic and trade growth,” said Pisarski, underscoring the importance of such events in showcasing Pakistan’s potential on the global stage.
The envoy also noted that several Polish companies operating in Pakistan are not only profitable but are also looking to expand their networks within the country. “We are expecting more business delegations to visit Pakistan under the umbrella of the Polish government in the near future,” he added, indicating Poland’s growing interest in Pakistan as a trade partner.

Minister Kamal expressed his appreciation for the Ambassador’s encouraging words and emphasized the vast potential for trade enhancement between the two nations. He highlighted key sectors such as agriculture, coal, and textiles as areas where Poland and Pakistan could deepen their cooperation.
“The geopolitical situation in the region is prompting industries to seek new destinations, and Pakistan can be an attractive option, particularly in the textile and food industries,” Kamal stated.
He further elaborated on the high quality of Pakistani agricultural products, citing the example of Pakistani apples. “Pakistan produces some of the best apples in the world. Nestlé, for instance, not only uses our apple pulp but also exports it from Pakistan,” he remarked.
The Minister also pointed to the burgeoning potential in olive production, with large-scale cultivation underway in regions such as Balochistan and Potohar. He emphasized that value-added products from olives could become a significant export item for Pakistan in the near future.
