ISLAMABAD – In a major step toward strengthening bilateral relations, Madagascar has announced a $100 million investment plan for Pakistan, focusing on key sectors such as agriculture, minerals, manufacturing, and logistics.
The commitment was made by the Madagascar International Chamber of Commerce and Industry following a series of high-level trade meetings aimed at creating mutual business opportunities and reducing trade barriers.
A new chapter in Pakistan–Madagascar relations
The investment will not only help create jobs and improve infrastructure in Pakistan but will also give Madagascar access to South and Central Asian markets through Pakistan’s strategic connectivity.
Officials say this marks the beginning of a long-term strategic trade partnership, with both sides exploring ways to expand exports, improve logistics, and strengthen private sector collaboration.
What’s next?
Sector-specific allocations and project timelines will be finalized during joint investment meetings later this year.
A Pakistan-Madagascar Trade Council is under consideration to institutionalize business and investment cooperation.
This move reflects a growing trend of African nations diversifying their trade partnerships, moving beyond traditional markets to engage with emerging economies like Pakistan.
