FPCCI plans Bangladesh trip to boost trade

With bilateral trade below $1 billion, the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) is leading an exporters’ delegation to Bangladesh this week to enhance trade relations. The delegation will meet Bangladesh Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus and Commerce Adviser Sheikh Bashir Uddin. FPCCI President Atif Ikram Sheikh, who will lead more than 35 business people of diverse industries, said that the Pakistani business community could achieve substantive milestones through economic diplomacy, which seems difficult vis-à-vis political diplomacy. “Countries and the regions come closer in today’s world through forging interdependencies that result in wealth creation and prosperity for their respective populations,” he remarked.
