Poland is preparing to scale up its footprint in Pakistan, with state-owned energy company ORLEN planning to double its $500 million investment in the country’s oil and gas sector over the next decade, Ambassador Maciej Pisarski said during a meeting with Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan on Wednesday.
The Polish envoy noted that fresh exploratory concessions in Sindh and Balochistan offered strong potential but stressed the need to resolve outstanding issues to keep investors confident.
For his part, Jam Kamal urged Polish firms to branch out beyond energy, pointing to opportunities in agriculture and mining. He invited them to collaborate in Pakistan’s agriculture value chain, particularly by setting up cold storage and processing facilities for fruits and vegetables. He also encouraged investment in the mining sector, citing untapped copper and lignite reserves.
Pisarski, acknowledging Poland’s global expertise in both mining and agriculture, said Warsaw was ready to pursue joint ventures in these areas.
The discussions concluded with both sides agreeing to translate proposals into concrete projects and to step up high-level engagements. The commerce minister reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to supporting Polish investors, while Pisarski underlined Warsaw’s interest in strengthening economic ties with Islamabad.
