ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan and European Union Ambassador to Pakistan Raimundas Karoblis met on Tuesday to discuss enhancing trade and investment under the GSP+ framework.
The two officials explored ways to further strengthen bilateral relations, emphasizing the importance of human rights, labour standards, and good governance.

Since joining the GSP+ in 2014, Pakistan’s exports to the EU have more than doubled, reaching €8 billion in 2023, with Germany accounting for €2.4 billion of that total.
