German FM due soon to discuss bilateral issues

The visit of the Foreign Minister Baerbock is part of regular high-level exchanges between the two countries.

It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan has started extensive lobbying to retain GSP plus status in the European Union (EU), which is expiring next year.

Minister for Commerce Syed Naveed Qamar has also visited the EU’s headquarters, Brussels (Belgium), and other European capitals like France as part of a lobbying strategy as relations with France soured after massive protests by Tahreek–i-Labaik Pakistan (TLP) last year.
