KARACHI: Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan on Saturday held a meeting with the Danish ambassador to Pakistan, Maja Derrous Mortensen, to discuss ways to enhance bilateral trade, investment cooperation and energy-sector collaboration between the two countries, the Pakistani commerce ministry said.

The minister highlighted Pakistan’s ongoing stabilization measures under a $7 billion International Monetary Fund (IMF) IMF program, noting that the country’s foreign reserves are stabilizing and remittances have shown strong growth.

The two sides had an in-depth discussion on Pakistan’s energy sector, particularly the industrial shift toward solar and renewable solutions that has reduced demand on the national grid.

The Danish ambassador briefed the minister on Denmark’s ongoing three-year partnership with Pakistani institutions to support energy planning, data systems, and grid efficiency, according to the commerce ministry.

“The ambassador also shared Danish business interest in Pakistan’s agricultural and IT sectors, noting that some companies remain cautious due to legal and certification constraints,” the ministry said.
