Commercial Counselor Dr Martin Herzer has said that Germany intends to develop and strengthen mutual trade relations with Pakistan.
“Being a major trade partner in the European market, we will continue to support Pakistan to explore more avenues of bilateral trade,” he said. In a meeting with Pakistan Textile Exporters Association Vice Chairperson Ammar Saeed, Herzer said that Germany is one of the important trading partners of Pakistan and several companies are working in different trade fields in the country.
