Leading industrialist and Honorary Consul General of Kingdom of Morocco, Ishtiaq Baig, called on CEO Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) S. M. Muneer at TDAP Head Office and discussed with him the possibility of increasing the bilateral trade between Pakistan and Morocco.
The meeting was also attended by Director General TDAP Dr Iqbal Thaheem. Ishtiaq Baig informed CEO TDAP that the thrust of country's export was towards Europe and America whereas Africa, the region of one billion people has been neglected. "Morocco is the gateway to Africa and despite deep friendly relations between Pakistan and Morocco, trade ties does not reflect it and is far behind the real potential. Bilateral trade is meagrely $400 million and needs to be extended substantially," he underlined. Baig proposed to organise single country exhibition and to send businessmen delegation to explore the market potential in Morocco. S. M. Muneer assured TDAP's full co-operation in increasing the trade between Pakistan and Morocco and said that Pakistan can take advantage of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) of Morocco with the US and European Union.-PR
