Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan met with Poland’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Maciej Pisarski, on Wednesday to discuss expanding trade, investment, and energy cooperation. Talks highlighted opportunities in hydrocarbons, mining, and agriculture as areas of mutual interest.
Khan praised the longstanding presence of Poland’s state-owned energy firm ORLEN, which has invested approximately $500 million in Pakistan’s oil and gas sector over the past 26 years. ORLEN now plans to double its investment over the next decade, a move that could further strengthen bilateral energy ties.
Ambassador Pisarski pointed to new exploratory concessions in Sindh and Balochistan as particularly promising, while also underscoring the need to resolve pending issues to sustain investor confidence.
The commerce minister encouraged Polish companies to explore partnerships in Pakistan’s agriculture value chain, especially in cold storage and processing facilities for fruits and vegetables. He also urged Poland to consider investment in Pakistan’s mining sector, highlighting copper and lignite reserves.
Pisarski noted Poland’s global expertise in both energy and mining and expressed Warsaw’s readiness to explore joint ventures. The two sides agreed to pursue concrete initiatives and high-level engagements to convert proposals into projects.
Khan reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to facilitating Polish investors, while Pisarski emphasized Poland’s interest in deepening its economic partnership with Islamabad.
