The recent visit of a high-level Bangladeshi delegation to Pakistan Railways’ Mughalpura Workshop marks far more than a ceremonial exchange of shields and handshakes. It signals a deliberate attempt by Islamabad and Dhaka to re-anchor their relationship in practical, forward-looking economic and technical cooperation. From rolling stock manufacturing to maintenance, training, and technology transfer, the sector provides a natural framework for sustained bilateral interaction. The detailed briefing by Chief Mechanical Engineer Nasir Khalili, along with the presentation of Pakistan Railways’ technical capabilities, offered the visiting delegation a firsthand view of what cooperation could realistically look like. For Pakistan, this engagement fits well with its broader goal of revitalizing Pakistan Railways and positioning it as a regional service provider rather than merely a domestic utility.
