Pakistan and Belarus are looking to deepen bilateral cooperation, with Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar holding talks with Belarusian Energy Minister Dzenis Maroz in Islamabad.
The meeting comes amid what both sides describe as a positive trajectory in relations, following a series of high-level exchanges between the two countries. Dar and Maroz specifically recalled the visits of Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to Islamabad and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to Minsk, which have helped strengthen political engagement between the two capitals.
During the meeting, Pakistan and Belarus reaffirmed their commitment to maintaining leadership-level contacts and building on the momentum generated by recent diplomatic engagement.
The discussions focused on expanding practical cooperation across several key sectors, including trade, industry, agriculture and regional connectivity. Both sides also agreed on the need to strengthen institutional mechanisms so that growing political ties can translate into concrete economic and commercial outcomes.
For Islamabad, closer engagement with Belarus comes as Pakistan seeks to expand trade and investment partnerships beyond traditional markets and strengthen connectivity with Eurasian economies. Belarus, meanwhile, has developed growing economic links with Pakistan in areas including manufacturing, agriculture and industrial cooperation.
The latest meeting signals that both countries are seeking to move their relationship beyond political goodwill toward more measurable economic cooperation.
With leadership-level engagement continuing, Pakistan and Belarus are expected to explore new opportunities for trade, investment, industrial partnerships and connectivity, as Islamabad looks to strengthen its broader economic outreach across the region.
