Dar reviews economic diplomacy, efforts to promote exports

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar led a review on Tuesday of Pakistan’s economic diplomacy and initiatives intended to expand exports, Business Recorder reported. Officials discussed how the country’s overseas missions could deepen ties with partner nations, present opportunities for Pakistani goods and services, and help businesses establish connections. The meeting brought together senior officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Dar called for stronger coordination with relevant ministries as the government pursues its economic priorities. He also asked officials to maintain follow-through on diplomatic engagement so that it can produce practical economic benefits. The report did not identify specific export targets, partner countries, sectors or measures agreed at the meeting, leaving the stated focus on improving coordination and business outreach rather than announcing a new trade programme. For investors, the discussion signals an official emphasis on exports and cross-border business links, but no company-level decision or quantified impact was disclosed.
