Last year, Danish exports to Pakistan increased by 58%, making Pakistan Denmark’s fastest growing market in Asia. The total Danish exports to Pakistan in 2016 reached DKK 790 million, higher than Bangladesh (DKK 610 million) and approaching the level of Indonesia and The Philippines (DKK 920 million).

Behind this apparent success lies a more ambiguous story of great and lost opportunities for Danish companies. According to UN statistics, Sweden exported three times more to Pakistan than Denmark in 2016. Belgium nearly eight times more. Is it time for a fresh outlook on Pakistan?
