Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan on Wednesday discussed expanding trade, investment, and energy cooperation with Poland’s Ambassador to Pakistan Maciej Pisarski, highlighting opportunities in hydrocarbons, mining, and agriculture.
Jam Kamal lauded the presence of Poland’s state-owned energy firm ORLEN, which has invested about $500 million in Pakistan’s oil and gas sector over the past 26 years and plans to double its investment in the next decade.
Pisarski said new exploratory concessions in Sindh and Balochistan offered promising prospects, while also flagging pending issues requiring resolution to sustain investor confidence.
