LAHORE: Governor Punjab Muhammad Balighur Rehman and Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Haji Ghulam Ali on Monday inaugurated the new office of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) regional office Lahore.

On the occasion, Muhammad Balighur Rehman and Haji Ghulam Ali present Congratulations to FPCCI President Irfan Iqbal Sheikh, Senior Vice President Muhammad Suleman Chawla, Regional Chairman Muhammad Nadeem Qureshi, Former President Mian Anjum Nisar, Former President Mian Naseer Hyatt Magoo and Vice President Shaukat Omarson on the construction of the State of the Art new building of FPCCI Lahore office.

Muhammad Balighur Rehman said the business community faces problems due to Letters of Credit (LCs) and containers stuck at the ports. The country’s business community pays taxes; revenue accumulates, which the country runs. The business community feels its duty to pay taxes.

Balighur Rehman paid tribute to the FPCCI President for working on research and development and said that FPCCI’s research work is commendable. By 2018, the country was developing and inflation was meager. At that time, the government is facing a debt burden. Along with political stability, trust is needed. The country is facing the problem of food security and terrorism again, he added.

KP Governor Haji Ghulam Ali said that we all have to work together for the strengthening of the state.

Sheikh, Muhammad Suleman Chawla, Muhammad Nadeem Qureshi and Mian Anjum Nisar said in their address that for the first time in the history of the FPCCI, the FPCCI Policy Board Pak -GCC Free Trade Agreement presented the framework to the federal commerce ministry.

We are constantly in touch with the Ministry of Commerce to persuade the Business Community’s suggestions. Federal Ministry of Commerce has requested the policy board service on three more different sides, like the policy board’s research work.

Muhammad Nadeem Qureshi, urging agriculture, requested Governor Punjab to work for the betterment of agriculture. Pakistan is an agricultural country, but we are importing wheat and cotton. Improving agriculture and the agriculture revolution will bring billions of dollars to the country and also help reduce imports.
