We are
The European Union (EU) is an economic and political partnership between 27 European countries. It plays an important role in international affairs through diplomacy, trade, development aid and working with global organisations. Abroad, the EU is represented through more than 140 diplomatic representations, known also as EU Delegations, which have a similar function to those of an embassy.

The EU Delegation to Pakistan was established in Pakistan in 1985 with the objective of fostering closer and stronger ties between the EU and Pakistan, which expanded considerably since, culminating in June 2019 with the signature of the Strategic Engagement Plan, a political declaration and forward looking framework that facilitates enhanced and wide-ranging cooperation. A range of annual dialogues between the EU and Pakistan allow for sharing of views and experiences in areas of common interest, or in areas where we face common challenges such as climate change, human rights, migration or common security challenges.

EU-Pakistan relations also cover enhanced cooperation on a broad range of issues, including education (Erasmus+), entrepreneurship, innovation, culture, human rights, humanitarian assistance, energy cooperation, security, defence and migration.
