ISLAMABAD:

German ambassador to Pakistan Alfred Grannas called on Minister for Economic Affairs Sardar Ayaz Sadiq on Wednesday and discussed matters of mutual interest.

The envoy appreciated “Pakistan’s outlook towards environment protection and efficient utilisation of natural resources, clean and green energy.”

Grannas told the minister that a positive regulatory framework for electric vehicles’ import had been a major step that promised to reduce Pakistan’s reliance on importing petroleum products. He also stressed enhancing bilateral ties and highlighted that Germany was not only the most significant and largest trading partner of Pakistan in the entire European Union (by volume and value) but Germany was also one of the leading countries in financial assistance for flood-affected people in 2022.

Earlier, while welcoming the visiting envoy, Minister for Economic Affairs Sardar Ayaz Sadiq highlighted that Pakistan and Germany shared a cordial and friendly relationship, and both countries were committed to strengthening their ties in the coming days.
