Pakistan-Africa Economic Council

Turning Vision into Measurable Impact

Redefining Pakistan–Africa Cooperation for the 21st Century

The 21st century demands collaborative strategies between emerging economies to build inclusive, resilient, and sustainable futures. The Pakistan Africa Economic Council (PAEC) stands as a pioneering, independent, and authorized platform designed to bridge one of the most promising global partnerships — between Pakistan and the African continent.

By aligning Pakistan’s “Look Africa” policy with Africa’s continental integration agenda under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), PAEC unlocks opportunities for trade, investment, innovation, and people-to-people collaboration. It connects Pakistan’s industrial, technological, and agricultural strengths with Africa’s vast markets, natural resources, and entrepreneurial potential, establishing a framework for shared growth and lasting prosperity.

The South–South Potential

As global power dynamics evolve, South–South cooperation has become the cornerstone of sustainable progress. PAEC embodies this shift by positioning Pakistan and Africa as equal partners in shaping a new development narrative — one that prioritizes self-reliance, inclusivity, and innovation.

The Synergy That Drives Change

PAEC acts as the nexus where Pakistan’s capabilities meet Africa’s opportunities. By linking institutions, businesses, and people, it transforms shared challenges into joint ventures — driving industrial growth, trade expansion, and technological advancement across continents.
