Islamabad: The Canadian High Commissioner to Pakistan, Mr. Tarik Ali Khan, visited the Oil and Gas Development Company Limited (OGDCL) Head Office to explore joint venture opportunities in the upstream oil and gas and mining sectors. The meeting was held with OGDCL’s Managing Director and CEO, Mr. Ahmed Hayat Lak, to discuss potential collaborations and revive training programs.
