New bridge built with MOL Group's support in Pakistan
- A new road bridge has been constructed in Khushal Garh with the financial support of MOL Group
- The new bridge enables secure access to Islamabad for local inhabitants
- The new link not only facilitates everyday life in the area, but also MOL Group’s regional business activities
Khusal Garh, Pakistan, 27 April 2016 – Thanks to MOL Group’s financial support, the newly-built bridge in Khushal Garh provides not only a secure route for local communities, but also improved access for MOL Group between its operational sites and the refinery in Rawalpindi.
MOL is well-established in Pakistan and has a proven track record, having had a successful presence in the country since 1999 with five blocks and two operatorships. The new bridge plays a significant role in the operational stability of the company and its partners.
The previous bridge, built 100 years ago, was no longer suitable or safe for everyday traffic. The new one, which provides MOL with better access to its assets, also ensures a more secure route for local traffic to Islamabad. This new route supports regional business activities and makes the area more attractive to investors too.
"In all countries where MOL Group operates, we are committed to supporting the interests and everyday life of local communities. We are conscious of our social responsibility; therefore we support various projects in Pakistan such as health programs, infrastructure investments and sports. Through all our activities we aim to make everyday life easier and the business environment more attractive" said József Simola, MOL Group Chief Financial Officer.
"We are glad that we have built up a fruitful cooperation in Pakistan, and with the construction of the new bridge we have further strengthened this relationship. With successful projects such as this increasing recognition of MOL in the area, we are well-positioned to continue to pursue the mutual interests of MOL and the local community" highlighted Ákos Grosz, Managing Director of MOL Pakistan.
