Several investors from the Czech Republic are planning to visit Pakistan to get a first-hand knowledge of business opportunities to kick-start a string of joint ventures with their Pakistani counterparts.
A two-member delegation comprising Michal Jirkovsky and Marie Kahounova told Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry Senior Vice President Mian Muzaffar Ali at the chamber on Wednesday that their country had a large scope for Pakistani goods.
Jirkovsky said the current volume of trade between Pakistan and his country needed special attention and frequent exchange of delegations are vital for their bilateral trade. He also called for both chambers to play role in expanding the trade relations.
"The economic growth witnessed by Pakistan in recent years has impressed manufacturers and investors in the Czech Republic and they are now considering Pakistan the best place to invest. There is a need to work together to identify possible fields of co-operation and provide proper information to the business communities of both sides," he added.
"Pakistan's major exports to the Czech Republic include leather and textile products but these exports constitute a petty fraction of Czech's total imports of these commodities.
