Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday said that Pakistan is committed to working closely with the European Union (EU) on mutually beneficial trade enhancement initiatives, especially through the GSP+.
The premier made the remarks while talking to EU Ambassador to Pakistan Raimundas Karoblis, who called on him at the Prime Minister House in Islamabad. Welcoming the EU ambassador, who recently assumed his responsibilities in Islamabad, the prime minister reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to further strengthen cooperation with the EU in all areas of mutual interest, particularly trade, investment, development, security, migration and climate change.
The premier emphasised upon the critical role of the GSP+ scheme in enhancing trade between Pakistan and the EU.
The prime minister also expressed satisfaction at the 7th round of Pakistan-EU Strategic Dialogue held in Brussels in November last year, where the Pakistan side was led by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar.
