Pakistan-Romania trade offers huge room for growth, says Romanian envoy

Romanian Ambassador Dr Dan Stoenescu said Pakistan and Romania have scope to expand trade and economic cooperation, with annual bilateral trade currently at $156 million. Business Recorder reported that the Romanian Embassy is supporting commercial exchanges between the two countries. A Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry delegation is due to travel to Romania in December to explore opportunities in technology, agriculture and logistics.

The two countries are seeking closer cooperation in renewable energy, IT, agriculture and infrastructure, while planning official delegation visits in early 2027. Stoenescu also pointed to potential shipping links from the Black Sea through the Danube, describing Romania as a gateway for Pakistani exports to Europe. He said cooperation with Pakistani authorities and the European Union had reduced illegal migration, while regulated labour mobility and education and technology partnerships were growing.
