Pakistan termed most attractive place in region for foreign trade

01 Apr, 2006

Pakistan's strategic location makes it the most attractive place in the region to be used as a hub for carrying out international trade with a large number of countries.
Talking to APP here on Friday, Netherlands-Pakistan Business Council President Martin J. Leushuis said there were vast opportunities for foreign businessmen to send their exports to other countries through Pakistan.
That would not only expand the area of their trade but also propel economic activity in the region, which was the need of the hour in the era of global trade, he said.
Martin said he was doing his best to take business community from the Netherlands to Pakistan so that they could see for themselves the conducive environment available for engaging in a large number of different business activities.
Because, he said, wrong perceptions of European people would only be rectified when they themselves visited this country and interacted with the business community here.
He said a lot could be done to bring investment in the country and he acknowledged the serious efforts of the government of Pakistan on this count. He hoped that if sustained efforts were continued to be made in the vigorous manner like this, positive outcomes would certainly be seen.
