Pakistan, Denmark push $2b partnership

Pakistan and Denmark on Monday reaffirmed their commitment to boosting global trade competitiveness through a $2 billion partnership aimed at modernising Pakistan's maritime infrastructure, improving port operations, and promoting sustainable practices. The commitment was reiterated during a meeting between Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Junaid Anwar Chaudhry and Danish Ambassador Jakob Linulf. According to an official press statement, the two sides agreed to expedite implementation of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed last year, with Danish shipping giant AP Moller–Maersk leading the investment drive. The discussions focused on upgrading logistics infrastructure and integrating green maritime technologies such as renewable energy-powered ports and energy-efficient shipping. Both parties emphasised workforce development and strengthening cultural ties as part of their broader cooperation.
