Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry has acted as a bridge between the government and business community and working for industrialisation to enhance trade relations with neighbouring countries, besides resolving problems of business community, RCCI President Dr Hasan Sarosh Akram said on Friday.
He was addressing a dinner party hosted by Mian Pervaiz Aslam Group in the honour of industrialists and businessmen of the region. He said business community of the Rawalpindi region was facing various problems particularly the law and order and the government was informed about the concerns and "we expect early solution of these problems."
Business community is backbone of the country's economic structure and by paying huge taxes they are playing big role in socio-economic development of the country, he said.
