OCTOBER 2018

Dr. Pantelis Christian Poetis, Honorary

Consul of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan for

Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg

Dear Friends,

Federal President Roman Herzog spoke in 1998 of a

successful “symbiosis of laptop and lederhosen” when

he characterised the transformation of Bavaria from an

agricultural state to a high-tech location. A year later,

Herzog explained his metaphor in a speech at the CeBIT

computer trade fair: “Perhaps tradition and modernity

are more visible in Bavaria than in other regions of

Germany. In reality, this symbiosis between being rooted

in the Heimat and being open to the world is everywhere

in Germany. Our regions are our sources of power”.

When I was appointed as Honorary Consul of Pakistan

exactly ten years ago, I cannot deny that I had my

doubts about the country. I was heavily influenced by

the bad press and had astonishingly little well-grounded

knowledge about Pakistan’s culture and religion. But

within only a few months I saw my view of Pakistan

change dramatically: I met incredibly wonderful and

inspirational people, experienced the richness of

Pakistani culture and tasted the most delicious cuisine

imaginable.

I realized that Pakistan, similar to Germany, is a fascinating symbiosis of centuries-old

tradition and the modern.

It wasn’t meant as such, but my recent trip to Pakistan was a celebration of the 10th anniversary

of my appointment as Honorary Consul of Pakistan. I’m proud to have led a delegation of 36

Bavarian business managers who, rather like me, finally learned of Pakistan’s rich culture as

well as its growing economic potential.

We all enjoyed the very high standards of our hosts’ hospitality and were deeply impressed

by their ability to convince us of the myriad reasons for laying the foundation for cooperation

between Pakistan and Bavaria. The pillars of this foundation are interdisciplinary, intercultural

and interreligious. I am confident that given such support, we can together master

the challenges of the 21st century.

I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Pakistani ministers Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar,

Governor of Punjab; Syed Murad Ali Shah, Chief Minister of Sindh; Shafqat Mahmood, Federal

Minister for Federal Education and Professional Training; Aamir Mehmood Kiani, Federal

Minister for National Health Services and Regulation; Abdul Razak Dawood, Advisor to the

Prime Minister for Commerce and Industry; Imtiaz Ahmed Shaikh, Provincial Minister of

Sindh for Energy; Muhammad Akhtar Malik, Minister of Energy for the Punjab; Faisal Hayat

Jabboana, Advisor to the Chief Minister of Punjab for Livestock and Dairy Development; and

Haroon Sharif, Chairman of the Board of Investment, who kindly received our delegation.

The cooperative projects which have arisen through our visit would not have seen the light

of day without your input.

Further I would like to thank His Excellency Martin Kobler, German Ambassador in

Islamabad, for hosting a wonderful dinner reception and especially for his enlightening

briefing that showed clearly that Pakistan was under a strong and positive “wind of change”.

Special thanks also to Eugen Wollfarth, German Consul General in Karachi, for receiving us

for a delightful dinner invitation as well as His Excellency Jauhar Saleem, Ambassador of

Pakistan, and his entire team for the strong support we received from Berlin. We are also

more than grateful for the perfect and smooth organisation of the trip provided by Bayern

International.

I would like to thank Qazi Sajid Ali, CEO of the GPCCI, and his highly dedicated team who

gave our delegation the great opportunity to start our travels with inspirational discussions

und intense and fruitful talks.

My special thanks go to the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs for the trust that

has been given to us, headed by Hubert Aiwanger, State Minister, and Roland Weigert,

State Secretary. I would like to express my warmest and heartfelt thanks to Dr. Markus

Wittmann, Head of Department International Economic Relations and Industry, who like

I never doubted the enormous potential of Pakistan and of course to my dear friend Head

of Division Ulrich Rieger who led the delegation with his unbelievably deep understanding

of our goals and who supported us in every way imaginable with his profound experience

and competent guidance.

As you will see on the following pages, we were not only able to experience Pakistan from

a completely new point of view but had the opportunity to build a bridge between the two

countries. We implemented the concept of “Made in Pakistan with German engineering”

and established our future aim of strengthening Pakistan economically and helping it

reach its full potential while maintaining its historical, social and religious heritage.

Therefore we hope to be able to adapt a slogan, similar to that of Bavaria: “Smartphone

and Shalwar Kameez”.

I sincerely hope that you will enjoy the little journey you are about to embark upon by

reading this brochure.

Yours,

Poetis

Dr. Pantelis Christian Poetis,

Honorary Consul of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan

for Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg

TO PAKISTAN

OCTOBER 2018

With a population of over 200 million people and a booming economy, Pakistan is among the 25 largest

economies in the world. Germany is Pakistan’s fourth largest trading partner and Pakistan‘s largest

trading partner in Europe.

The economic and financial center of the country is the Megacity Karachi. The city is also the most

important port in the country. Over 20 million people live in the metropolitan area. Thus, Karachi is

not only the most populous city in Pakistan, but also the seventh largest on Earth. Karachi is the most

important financial center with the Pakistan Stock Exchange, the seat of the Pakistan Central Bank,

the State Bank of Pakistan and almost all the headquarters of major banks. Many ICT companies, call

centers, media and television stations have also settled there. In addition, Toyota and Suzuki Motor

Company produce in the metropolis.

Pakistan’s capital Islamabad in the northeast is the country’s political center. Together with its

immediately adjacent twin town of Rawalpindi, the metropolitan area has 4.5 million inhabitants.

In recent years, more and more IT companies have settled in Islamabad. Furthermore, all major

telecommunications companies such as Mobilink, Telenor or Ufone are headquartered in Islamabad, as

are most state-owned companies.

Lahore, the capital of the Punjab province in the northeast of the country, on the border with India, is

one of the richest cities in Pakistan and the second largest economic center in the country after Karachi.

Lahore is traditionally a center of the textile industry, but also numerous other manufacturing companies

have settled here, such as pharmaceutical and chemical producers, steel and construction industries as

well as IT companies and Pakistan’s film industry, called Lollywood. In addition, Lahore is an important

tourist center. The city of Sialkot in Punjab is the world’s second largest cluster for producing surgical

instruments made of metal. Sialkot also produces around

40 million leather footballs annually.

the quality of work force to fulfill international standards. A digital

facilitation service for international product queries was another

area that needs improvement for boosting Pakistan’s Exports.

16 Nov 2018

The trade volume between Pakistan and Germany oscillates around 2.5 to 3.0 billion US $ per annum.

Germany has also an investment of around US $ 380 Million in Pak Economy. There is a huge potential

still untapped in all sectors of economy which if properly exploited can transform the two countries into

strategic partners. Pakistan has many export possibilities to cater the buyers of industrial and consumer

goods like furniture, fruits and agricultural products, packing materials and so on while in return can get

technology and assistance to uplift health, social, educational and energy sectors. Pakistan, certainly, can

achieve sustainable development through the cooperation of German companies coming to Pakistan with

investment, skills, knowledge and technology provided their confidence in Pakistan is heightened through

boosters like increased facilitation and an improved security environments. In the wake of China Pakistan

Economic Corridor (CPEC) and strategic geopolitical location of country there is a strong realization among

the EU countries that Pakistan would be a hub of business and trade activities in near future.

In the backdrop of this realization, the Economic Affairs Ministry of the Government of the State of Bavaria,

Germany took an initiative by sending a 36-Member strong business delegation to Pakistan in the last week

of the last month after almost a 20 years gap. The Honorary Consulate of Pakistan in Munich coordinated

this 5-day visit with the support of the Pakistan Embassy in Berlin. The back bone of Germany’s Economy is

its Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) that constitute about 75 % of the total economy of the country

and majority of the members of the delegation were owners or holding higher positions in their respective

companies that fall in the category of SMEs.

The delegation started the visit by attending a German Pakistan Business Day Conference organized by the

German Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry. While addressing the participants, Chief Minister of

Sindh, Mr. Murad Ali Shah emphasized on the German companies to invest in the energy sector where there

is huge potential for the German companies known for their best technologies. He assured that government

is going to provide 1000 acres of land to foreign companies and we definitely would designate a piece of land

for German Industrial Zone to welcome the companies to establish auto industry, wind turbines, smart grids

and others. Afterwards, B2B meetings were arranged which proved to be an icing on the cake.

Karachi chamber of commerce and industries being the country’s biggest chamber out of 39 chambers having

24,000 direct and about 55,000 indirect members, hosted the delegation. KCCI office bearers expressed

four concerns i.e. restoration of Lufthansa flights, increase in Deutsche Bank’s branches, visa barriers and

vocational training.

Provincial Minister for Water and Energy, Sindh Mr. Imtiaz Ahmad Shaikh, while briefing the delegation,

stated that Sindh was providing an ideal investment environment (Karachi is the port city, there are 6

economic zones in Sindh, facilitations are extended through investment promotion agency, virtual one-stopshop,

tax holidays, ease of doing business ranking has also been improved) for the foreign companies which

have already invested in wind energy projects and there was a potential to generate about 50,000 megawatts

of energy from wind in Sindh.

Trade Development Authority of Pakistan showed interest in both trade development in terms of investment

and procurementand trade promotion to increase visibility of Pakistani products and establishing follow up

committee. The German delegation urged the need of focusing on up-gradation of technology and improving

Chairman, Board of Investment, Mr. Haroonsharif briefed the

delegation about the role of BOI in facilitation, promotion and

investment of trade. He highlighted the importance of Pakistan’s

economy in terms of its consumer market with 100 million youth

having reasonably high consumption power and that Pakistan open

avenues of trade to its neighbors like Afghanistan and china. Mr.

Abdul Razaq Dawood, PM’s Advisor on Commerce, Trade, Industry

and Production discussed about the challenges Pakistan was

facing like current account deficits, job creation, transmission and

distribution of electricity. He emphasized that partnerships between

B2B were broader than investment because we need more ideas to

change liquidity into products. The leader of the delegation said

that political stability, family owned businesses, vocational training

and energy were the contributing factors to the strong economy of

the Bavarian state of Germany.

Pakistan is expecting that CPEC projects on completion, would enable the transportation of goods worth US

$205 billion through one-road-one-belt. About 35% of global traffic is happening in this region and the route

is safeguarded by 10,000 military security personnel and 5,000 by civilian security forces. In the IT sector,

Pakistan is exporting services of $16.3m in value to Germany, whereas Pakistan is the third largest country

having 3M IT workers and 4th largest freelancers in the world are found in Pakistan’s $1bn IT industry and by

2020 e-commerce is going to cross the digit of $1bn; the readiness of this particular market is almost 100%,

burgeoning incubation centers, 151 million mobile subscribers, 57 million broadband subscribing and only

5% sales tax on IT sector are contributing to the ideal investment environment in Pakistan. Health sector,

health insurance and health care systems are areas of foreign attraction. Similarly, petroleum sector offers

opportunities for business development and licenses for exploration and so on. B2B meetings organized by

the BOI were attended by a good number of representatives of local companies from almost every sector to

interact and negotiate with the German delegation.

While briefing the delegation, German ambassador Mr. Martin Kobler analyzed Pakistan’s current politicoeconomic

situation; relations with neighbors;institutional capacity; transparency of CPEC and concerns of

IMF and the ways to move forward. He said that the PTI government’s initiatives to improve the indicators

in education, health and clean Pakistan were among the factors that provide a strong foundation for future

economic growth. He emphasized that Pakistan should have more regional trade with India just as Europe did

throughout history which ultimately led to European Union.

In nutshell, Pakistan has enormous economic opportunities and great potential for growth and development.

It has every reason and perspective to become an ideal investment destination in the world provided that it

succeeds in softening its image through lobbying, bringing necessary reforms in Pakistan through political

will that encourage new frameworks, politico-economic models and other arrangements to practically

involve and engage all the stakeholders (economists, industrial experts, academicians, financial advisors

etc) to materialize strong Industry-academia linkage and to support Pakistani industry to become ready for

exports. There is also need for international business networking to expedite export promotion activities.

GERMAN BUSINESSMEN

KEEN TO ENHANCE INVESTMENT

KARACHI: German businessmen are eager to explore investment and joint-venture opportunities in trade and industry of

Pakistan, a foreign official said on Tuesday.

“There is a great potential to enhance bilateral trade and we must use this potential,” Ulrich Rieger, a senior ministerial consul

from Bavarian State’s Ministry of Economic Affairs said at a meeting with the officials of Karachi Chamber of Commerce and

Industry (KCCI).

Rieger was leading a 36-member German delegation, which visited after two decades, to discuss trade and investment

opportunities. “We have observed that Pakistani businessmen are very active and innovative all over the world and also in

Germany,” a statement quoted Rieger as saying.

The ministerial consul said Pakistan with a huge population of 220 million can offer a lot to Bavarian businessmen and

investors “therefore we decided to visit this country”.

“The German business delegation is here to look for cooperation, new business ideas which is our main interest and they will

also be happy to cooperate in transfer of technology,” Rieger said. “One of the secrets behind success of Bavaria has been

the vocational training and development of SMEs (small and medium enterprises). We can support Pakistan with vocational

training.”

Honorary Consul for Pakistan in Bavaria Pantelis Christian Poetis said they want to see the industries and economies of both

the countries to be as prosperous as possible and “that’s why we are here for cooperation and we are here for networking”.

President KCCI Junaid Esmail Makda said that Karachi, the economic and financial hub of Pakistan, offers profitable investment

opportunities and facilities for trade, investment and joint ventures to German business and industrial community.

Makda said the region is likely to attract substantial foreign investment from different parts of the world after completion of

China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and Gwadar port. “The German business community can also benefit from the situation by

investing or undertaking joint ventures in Pakistan, particularly in Karachi.”

KCCI president said trade between Pakistan and Germany significantly improved in the last decade.

In 2017, Pakistan exported merchandise worth $1.87 billion to Germany as against $1.68 billion in 2016, showing growth of 12

percent. Pakistan’s imports from Germany rose five percent to $1.36 billion during the year.

October 25, 2018

PAKISTAN CAN ALSO OFFER LOT TO

BAVARIAN INVESTORS: RIEGER

Karachi Leader of German delegation and Senior Ministerial Consul from Bavarian State’s Ministry

of Economic Affairs Mr. Ulrich Konstantin Rieger has said, “Many German companies usually look for

trade opportunities in China and India whereas Pakistan with a huge population of 220 million can also

offer a lot to Bavarian Businessmen and Investors therefore we decided to visit this country.”

Ulrich Rieger, who led a 36-member German delegation during its visit to Karachi Chamber of Commerce

and Industry, said, “There is a great potential to enhance bilateral trade and we must use this potential.

We have observed that Pakistani businessmen are very active and innovative all over the world and

development of SMEs. We can support Pakistan with vocational training and we are ready to do it”, he

added.

Referring to concerns expressed over issuance of visas, he opined, “It is much easier to come to

Pakistan from Germany but if a businessman from Pakistan wants to come to Germany, it’s not too easy

due to the Schengen system. As businessmen, we are on your side.”

Makda said German programs like BFZ’s Espire Project by Bavarian Employers Association and GIZ Asia Social and Labor

Standards in textile and garment sector proved instrumental in capacity building of industries and organisations.

“Such collaborations and cooperation should further be strengthened,” he added.

GERMAN BUSINESS DELEGATION

VISITS PAKISTAN

Bavaria is the largest federal state of Germany, located in the southeast of the country. Today, Bavaria

is one of the strongest economic regions in Europe. Munich, the Bavarian capital, is among the leading

international business hubs of the world. It is the third largest city in Germany and one of the industrialized

world’s growing metropolises Pakistan and Germany have a great potential to enhance their bilateral trade.

Bavaria could offer a lot to Pakistani businessmen and investors to establish strong economic cooperation.

German Delegates stayed in Karachi for two days where they attended Pak-German Business Conference

organised by the German Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Chief Minister Sindh, Syed Murad

Ali Shah was the chief guest on the occasion. In his keynote address, he highlighted the investment and

business opportunities available in his province for the foreign businessmen.

The delegation then visited the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry where meeting with the

chamber’s president, Mr. Junaid Esmail Makda followed by a presentation on “Made in Pakistan with German

engineering” by Dr. Pantelis Christian Poetis.

October 27, 2018

Islamabad - Germany has played a key role in two world wars. The pace with which Germany rebuilt

itself is remarkable. Today, Germany is the largest economy of the European Union and the fourth largest

economy of the world. The country also has one of the more liberal trade regimes among the industrialized

countries.

A high-level German businessmen delegation comprising 36 executives has arrived on a five-day visit to

Pakistan.

The ambassador of Germany Martin Kobler hosted a dinner in honour of the visiting delegation at his

residence in the diplomatic enclave of Islamabad. The event was attended by leading businessmen from

all over Pakistan.

This visit was organised by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs in collaboration with the Consulate of

Pakistan in Munich with active support from the Pakistan Embassy in Berlin. Leader of German delegation

and Senior Ministerial Consul from Bavarian State’s Ministry of Economic Affairs Mr. Ulrich Konstantin

Rieger was the head of the delegation while Honorary Consul for Pakistan in Munich, Dr. Pantelis Christian

Poetis, also accompanied by the delegation. It is probably the first official Bavarian delegation after 20 years

in Pakistan.

An interactive session between Pakistani businessmen and German Delegates was also held on the

occasion. Businessmen from various sectors including IT and telecommunication, health, industries &

production, energy, food security & research discussed matters of greater prospects of trade and investment

between the two countries.

Mr. Ul rich Konstantin Rieger gave a briefing about the Bavaria State and its pivotal role in the German

economy. A round-table business discussion between the visiting delegation and The Trade Development

Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) was also organized. During their stay in the federal capital, the delegation

met Prime Minister’s Advisor on Commerce Mr Abdur Razzaq Dawood.B2B meetings with Pakistani

businessmen and industrialists had also been organized with the active cooperation of the Islamabad

Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the dinner by the German ambassador Martin Kobler also provided

chance to interact more with them.

Martin Kobler is a different ambassador. He is attached to Pakistani social fabric and treats himself like a

responsible citizen of Pakistan and frequently shares his love for Pakistan on social media.

He has been to different parts of the country where he has mingled with locals, visited local eateries,

interacted with food vendors and travelled to cities through train. He is working hard to restore direct air

links between Pakistan and Germany, which is direly needed, but international Security Agency is not taking

concrete steps in this regard.

He welcomed all the guests and gave a briefing about German delegates’ visit and said that the delegates

now have a very different approach about Pakistan and their confidence in the Pakistan is much greater. He

said the perception about Pakistan does not change overnight and requires dedication, commitment and the

level of desire to boost relationships between two countries.

He said that this delegation is the first largest delegation, which is a sign of growing confidence of Germany

and European companies in Pakistan. He further added that delegation came at right time as this is the time

of “Naya Pakistan”. He hoped that new government would invest in education, institution building, and give

entrepreneurs space to invest in CPEC and major economic zone and also the bank of Bavaria.

Ulrich Konstantin made a short speech in which he applauded all businessman and women for providing so

many ideas of cooperation. He also acknowledged the ambassador for his support. Dr. Pantelis Christian

Poetis hoped that this visit will promote both countries trade links.

Dear All,

I take this opportunity to congratulate everyone for organising and participating in a successful and a wholesome

Bussiness Delegation, particularly Mr. Rieger, Dr. Poetis, Mr. Murad and of course Qazi Sajid Ali. I

know what a huge effort it took to make this so great and achieve the intended purpose. Besides business we

had so much fun from the beginning till the end. It was like being with old friends, even though we had all

just met. What a wonderful experience! We missed those of you who could not join at Lahore! It was a very

eventful and fun filled trip to Lahore and I captured a few moments which I share in following messages. I

wish you all a safe return journey and do stay in touch! Best regards, Perrvaiz Akhtar

Dear everybody, I had a great time with all of you. It was such an adventure. I am looking forward

to continue our relationships beyond the delegation. My special thanks to everybody

who was part of the organization team, it was really eceptional. See you soon! Best, Judith

Judith Gampe

Likewise, many thanks from my side for wonderfully organizing that visit. I also agree and

believe in fostering those relations we have developed during the trip, and am on-board for

the arrangements of final delegation dinner together.

Dr. Alexandra von Ilsemann

Dear all,

a very warm thank you to Dr. Poetis and his family, to Mr. Rieger and the delegation team for making this

event a great success. The hospitality in Pakistan was overwhelming. I can only wish this country many

more official and private visitors to revise its image in Germany. I think every member of the delegation will

join me in hoping that the friendly relationship between Pakistan and Bavaria will be intensified by as many

follow-ups and return visits as possible. Apart from that, it was a great pleasure to meet like-minded fellow

delegates. I very much hope that all these relationships can be continued. Best, Peter

Dr. Klaus Peter Follak
