Sorensen stated that Pakistan is an important country and is an important ally of the world to fight the global war on terror.
The focus of the aid would be on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), Federaly Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Balochistan.
This was stated by the Danish ambassador to Pakistan, Jesper Moller Sorensen, during his meeting with the traders’ community at the residence of Senator Haji Muhammad Adeel on Thursday.
Sorensen said Pakistan is an important country and ally of the world to fight the global war on terror.
“People from Pakistan have suffered a lot in the war against terrorism,” he said.
Moreover, he said, the only way to get away from this situation would be to promote education in the country.
Keeping in mind the fragile law and order situation of K-P and FATA, Sorensen said that he can’t officially get Danish companies to invest in K-P, FATA and Balochistan.
“I see many opportunities for Danish companies in the country,” he said.
However, he later added that “due to security concerns,” he cannot follow this through.
During the meeting, Haji Adeel said that Pakistan is being punished for 9/11.
“Islamabad is fighting a war against terrorism and hundreds of people have been killed in the war which has been imposed upon us,” he said.
He further said that Pakistan wants to promote bilateral trade relations with Denmark and Danish investors could benefit from investment opportunities in the country, particularly in K-P.

Denmark. Population 5 million. Army: tiny. Nuclear weapons: none Pakistan. Population: 190 million. Army: huge. Nuclear weapons: yes
And then we take aid from this tiny tiny country whilst crying about western freedom of speech and how much they hate us. We have a national day to celebrate being a nuclear power, and then become a beggar the next day.
Pakistanis were at one time burning Denmark flag , now no problem with aid, any shame left
Oh great. More money to buy more shiny BMWs
The core problems with Balochistan and your tribal territories have zero to do with 911 - just like Bangladesh you treat some fellow Pakistani's as inferior and then wonder they they don't jump when you say froggy.
Accept aid from the country that produced the blasphemous cartoons! That itself is Blasphemy again! How dare they...?
The bureaucrats and politicians are hooked on to this drug called aid. It stops them from putting their own house in order i.e. balance the books. The only way for an addict to be rid of his habit is to stop access to the drug. Once an addict, you just want more and more. Your problems become other people's problem and they give you more aid to go away.
STOP ACCEPTING AID ! and get your own house in order.
emphasized textThe focus of the aid would be on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), Federaly Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Balochistan. Now our 'lions' will roar that they are bringing the foreign investment and aid to Pakistan.
Aid Comes from poor people in the rich country to rich people in the poor country
