Envoy highlights legislative process related to GSP+

Federal Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan has asked German businesses to look at investing in Pakistan and to take part in the forthcoming FoodAg show in Karachi, according to The Express Tribune. The request came during a meeting with German Ambassador Ina Lepel, who called on the minister. Both sides discussed ways to expand trade, capital flows and direct links between companies.

Khan praised Germany's longstanding economic partnership with Pakistan and the role it has played concerning the European Union's GSP Plus trade scheme. He restated Pakistan's intention to meet its international commitments and to improve coordination between federal ministries and the provinces. The ambassador acknowledged legislative progress and favourable steps in areas tied to GSP Plus, which she said showed a commitment to reform and sturdier institutions.

Lepel stressed that passing laws must now be followed by effective implementation, measurable results and concrete gains for ordinary citizens. Her remarks placed the legislative work within a broader reform agenda.
