Trade and Commerce Attachés appointed abroad in Pakistani mission have a great role to play in introducing Pakistani products in the world markets to support the local industry in its growth, said Ali Raza Saeed Bokhari, President Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI) here on Monday.
"Unfortunately Pakistani Trade and Commerce Attaches in the foreign countries are not playing their role towards increasing trade with the respective countries", RCCI President said while talking to Deputy High Commissioner designate to Sri Lanka, Amina Baloch during a meeting. Amina Baloch paid a visit to RCCI to interact with the business community.
Ali Raza stressed the need of strong relationship between the Chambers and trade officers to promote the trade of local goods. He said that trade officers were not fulfilling their duties to boost the economic activities in Pakistan. "It is need of the hour to promote non-traditional products to extend the national exchequer and commercial officers must play vital role in this regard", he said. He further said that in nontraditional items Pakistani marble, gems and Jewellery and furniture industry have great potential in the Sri Lankan markets and government should focus on these industries to enhance the bilateral trade.
Ali Raza demanded of the Deputy High Commissioner designate to facilitate RCCI in organising single country exhibition in Sri Lanka to introduce the local products. Speaking on the occasion, Amina Baloch said that the basic purpose of visiting RCCI is to consult the business community to encourage the products which have potential demand in S. Lankan trade market. She ensured Ali Raza that high commission will take every possible step to facilitate the business community in organising the trade Expo in Sri Lanka. She lauded the role and vision of RCCI in promoting Pakistani products in the world.
