Officials framed the talks as a move toward concrete projects, with follow-ups planned.

Overview

  • Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan met Polish Ambassador Maciej Pisarski on Sept. 24 to expand cooperation across trade, investment, energy, mining and agriculture.
  • ORLEN has invested about $500 million in Pakistan over more than 26 years and plans to roughly double that outlay over the next decade, according to the officials.
  • Pisarski highlighted new ORLEN exploratory concessions in Sindh and Balochistan, including Baran and Sirmazarani West near the Kirtan Mountains, which he described as promising.
