The leaders of PIAF-Founders Alliance have said that the economic situation in the country is taking a positive turn and hopefully with the new wave of change in the United States, Pakistan would regain its status as the hub of business activities.
The Alliance leaders including Mian Anjum Nisar, Iftikhar Ali Malik and Mohammad Ali Mian expressed these views while speaking at a luncheon reception hosted by the businessmen of Liberty Market and Hafeez Centre. The business community leaders of Liberty Market and Hafeez Centre Rana Tariq, Safdar Butt, Gibrael Qamar Butt, Malik Amer Mohsin and Abdul Rauf also spoke to the gathering.
They said that the whole country, particularly the province of Punjab is a land of opportunities and a true leadership at all levels could help realise the dream of a prosperous Pakistan in coming years. The alliance will continue its struggle for the betterment of business community, as its consistent liaison with the federal and provincial governments in the last five years, has helped lessen the problems of both the trade and industry.
Further, the businessmen said that all measures were taken in the recent months to convey the business community's concern over ongoing crisis ranging from hike in power tariff and shortage and rapidly increasing cost of business. The association also pleaded the government effectively for all matters concerning the cause of business community that resulted in withdrawal of decision regarding imposition of 35 per cent L/C margin, they added.
Appreciating the LCCI for its effective role in co-ordinating with the federal and provincial levels, they said that they had remained in touch with the governments to get resolved the businessmen's problems.
The office bearers also held meetings with the foreign diplomats and tried to dispel Pakistan's negative impression being painted by western media regarding the investment scenario in the country. The trade leaders of Liberty Market and Hafeez Centre while reposing their confidence in the Alliance assured their support to them. The Alliance Associate Class candidates were also present in the reception.
