August 5, 2025 (MLN): Pakistan and Bangladesh have committed to strengthening bilateral cooperation across trade, energy, logistics, and industrial linkages, as Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan met with Bangladesh’s High Commissioner to Pakistan, Md. Iqbal Hussain Khan.

The meeting focused on Bangladesh’s growing industrial needs, particularly its interest in importing Pakistani coal and high-quality limestone to support power generation and soda ash production.

Discussions also highlighted agricultural trade, including Pakistan’s potential mango exports, pending final technical approvals, and increased imports of Bangladeshi pineapples.

High Commissioner Khan shared feedback from his recent visits to Pakistan’s industrial hubs, where he noted strong interest and engagement from local business chambers, according to a press release issued.

Both sides also explored opportunities in textiles, mineral exports from Sindh, and Halal-certified meat products.

They agreed to tackle logistical challenges and simplify business visa procedures to enhance trade facilitation.

Minister Jam Kamal emphasized the strategic value of the partnership, stating, “Through focused collaboration in energy, logistics and food security, Pakistan and Bangladesh can develop a transformative economic partnership that benefits our entire region.”

The meeting concluded with mutual commitments to establish sector-specific business linkages and streamline trade mechanisms in the coming months.
