Denmark and Pakistan aim to increase annual trade volume between the two countries from $250 million to $700 million by December 2017. Pakistan can utilize Denmark's business expertise in textiles, solar energy, and agriculture to increase quality output and exports to the EU and Scandinavian countries. Cultural exchange organizations will arrange joint events in Pakistani cities throughout 2017 to strengthen people-to-people relations between Denmark's population of 5.6 million and Pakistan's 180 million people.
