The Federal Republic of Germany is a valued partner of Islamabad, both bilaterally and in the context of the European Union as the two sides hold long-standing, cordial relations marked by mutual respect and close cooperation.

Islamabad and Berlin also attach special importance to strengthening bilateral cooperation in diverse fields, including trade and investment, energy, defense, and people-to-people contacts. The two sides completed 70 years of diplomatic ties in 2021.

Both sides are expected to impart further boost to the multi-faceted Pakistan-Germany relationship after Baerbock's visit.
