During the discussions, the Belarusian Deputy Minister for Industries, Aleksei Kushnarenko, offered to provide its full support regarding the electric buses in Islamabad, marking a step towards sustainable and eco-friendly public transport. Member Administration and Environment Talat Mehmood Gondal expressed his keen interest in cooperation with Belarus regarding the public transport system in Islamabad.

He emphasized that it is aligned with CDA’s vision for a cleaner, more efficient transportation system. In this connection, CDA has already launched electric buses in the city, covering different areas of Islamabad. The introduction of electric buses has not only reduced the country’s carbon footprint but also modernized Islamabad’s transport infrastructure.

Besides, both sides explored the possibility of transferring advanced technology related to Pakistan’s electric buses and charging stations. The way forward was discussed, which was to establish Belarusian electric vehicle manufacturing plants in Pakistan and create joint ventures (JVs) between high-tech Belarusian automobile companies and CDA.

CDA nominated the focal point for future cooperation, which would consider opportunities for collaboration with the Minsk Automobile Plant, Belarus, and explore Pakistan’s automobile sector, highlighting the potential for joint ventures and technological exchange.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to strengthening ties and cooperation between CDA and Belarus, aiming for cooperation in sustainable and eco-friendly public transport. This growing partnership is expected to boost close collaboration and support sustainable development goals in Pakistan.
