Partners agreed on strengthening the economic and commercial cooperation and discussed concrete ways how Czech entrepreneurs could contribute to the economic development of Pakistan and share their technical knowledge. Deputy Minister Drulák was particularly interested in progress in the energy sector where Czech companies are traditionally active and realize successful projects.

In this context, he discussed with Nadeem Riyaz the access to education for girls and other human rights issues. They also exchanged views on consular matters, EU-Pakistan relations and the situation in the region.
