During the meeting, representatives also shared their perspectives on the future operating arrangements of the terminal and emphasized the importance of maintaining continuity in specialized infrastructure that supports industrial production and supply-chain stability.
They highlighted the longstanding partnership between Royal Vopak and Engro Corporation, noting that such investments contribute significantly to Pakistan’s economic landscape and industrial development.
Welcoming the delegation, Aurangzeb underscored the importance Pakistan attaches to strengthening economic ties with the Netherlands. He said that long-standing collaborations with international investors help promote trade and investment, support economic growth, and reinforce confidence among the global business community.
