Pakistan’s logistics sector is set to experience a transformative phase as National Logistics Corporation (NLC) and DP World join hands in a historic partnership. This collaboration aims to modernize the logistics and transportation systems across the country, creating a strong foundation for economic growth and trade enhancement.
In a grand event held in Karachi, the partnership was officially announced, with DP World’s Group Chairman and CEO, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, as the chief guest. The event was attended by senior officials from both organizations, government representatives, and key members of the business community.
Speaking at the ceremony, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem expressed his enthusiasm for collaborating with Pakistan’s largest logistics organization. He highlighted that combining NLC’s regional expertise with DP World’s global capabilities will set new benchmarks in the logistics industry. This partnership promises to deliver significant benefits to the trading community by enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and opening new opportunities.
One of the major highlights of this partnership is the development of state-of-the-art logistics parks in Pakistan. These modern facilities will streamline the movement of goods within the country and to neighboring regions. Additionally, the agreement has already paved the way for smoother container movement between Karachi and Jebel Ali Port, boosting regional trade.
The partnership also focuses on fostering economic growth through increased foreign investment and job creation. It is expected to generate thousands of employment opportunities while enhancing the overall infrastructure and connectivity in Pakistan. By addressing existing supply chain challenges, this collaboration will provide businesses with a robust platform to compete in the global market.
NLC’s Director General expressed pride in partnering with DP World, noting that the collaboration aligns with Pakistan’s vision to become a regional trade hub. He emphasized the role of this partnership in attracting foreign direct investment and promoting innovation in the logistics sector.
To ensure the success of this venture, two joint venture companies have been established under the partnership. The first company will focus on modernizing supply chain management to improve efficiency across industries. The second company will revolutionize road freight services, facilitating cross-border trade with neighboring countries.
