Pakistan and Germany have signed a new cooperation agreement worth €114 million to support development projects across key sectors including climate action, sustainable growth, and social protection.
The agreement, covering the 2025–26 period, was finalized during bilateral talks held in Islamabad. The discussions were co-chaired by Pakistan’s Economic Affairs Secretary Muhammad Humair Karim and Christine Toetzke, Director-General at Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).
Under this cooperation, both countries will work together to strengthen vocational training programs, promote renewable energy, and support climate-resilient economic growth. The partnership also aims to improve social protection systems, ensuring that vulnerable communities benefit from sustainable development.
Germany reaffirmed its commitment to helping Pakistan advance its green transition through technology sharing, clean energy investment, and support for environmental governance. The initiative aligns closely with Pakistan’s “URAAN” economic transformation plan, which focuses on building a self-reliant and eco-friendly economy.
Officials from both sides emphasized the importance of long-term collaboration, noting that this agreement marks another milestone in over 60 years of Pakistan–Germany partnership in development and cooperation.
The next round of bilateral negotiations between the two countries is expected to take place in Berlin in 2027, where future projects and funding priorities will be reviewed.
This new deal highlights Pakistan’s growing focus on sustainable development, while showcasing Germany’s continued role as a trusted partner in supporting Pakistan’s social and economic progress.
