City Nazim Syed Mustafa Kamal on Monday said disputes between Pakistan and India could be resolved only by improving economic ties between the two countries.
Addressing a ceremony, organised at City Naib Nazim Secretariat in the honour of an Indian delegation from Mumbai, which is currently visiting Karachi on an exchange programme of SAFMA (South Asian Free Media Association), he said that Karachi was the revenue engine of Pakistan, as it generated 68 percent revenue for the country.
He informed the delegation about the ongoing development activities in Karachi. He said that foreign investment component of these uplift projects was $900 million. "A call centre with capacity of 10,000 seats has been planned in the city, which would generate about 30,000 employment opportunities," he said. He said that this call centre would be set up in the biggest building of the country.
He hoped that the frequent exchange of delegations between India and Pakistan would help in understanding culture, traditions and aspirations of the people of the two countries. He stressed for
relaxation of visa conditions for the citizens of the two countries.
Sanjay Deshmukh of the Indian delegation told the audience about economic and geographic importance of Mumbai. He said Mumbai was a city with an area of 642 square-miles and population of 13 million.
