He said that all the suggestions and issues, raised by the Standing Committees, were immediately raised at all supreme forums including the Senate of Pakistan. He said that the business community always wanted to do something good for the country.

He advised the Conveners of the Standing Committees to focus on the areas of growth through innovation, strategic economic reforms, brain-drain, water scarcity, power generation and hunt for new destinations for Pakistani goods.

He said that all of the economic ideas from the standing committees would be developed as suggestions/reports and would be forwarded to the concerned government departments.
