President SAARC Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SAARC CCI) and former President of FPCCI, Tariq Sayeed has appreciated Dr Ishrat-ul-Ebad Khan, Governor of Sindh for his earnest efforts towards socio-economic development of the province and hoped those will bring positive results in near future.
President SAARC CCI met with the Governor of Sindh and exchanged views on wide range of socio-economic issues faced by the country and the Province of Sindh. He also informed him about the 3rd SAARC Business Leaders Conclave, to be held between November 22-23, 2009 at Colombo, Sri Lanka and construction of SAARC CCI Building Headquarters at Islamabad.
Sayeed said that since the day, Dr Khan has taken over as the Governor of Sindh, the province has undergone a radical change particularly in terms of infrastructure in Karachi. "Many development projects under his Governorship have been completed, which reflect his commitment towards improving socio-economics of the province particularly, Karachi," said Sayeed.
He added that one of the enterprising features was his availability to all walks of life including Business community, which had made him popular in the province. While lauding his approach for establishing close contacts with the business community of Karachi Sayeed suggested to the Governor to meet business representatives from Hyderabad, Sukkur, Larkana and Dadu under the umbrella of FPCCI.
A meeting would be organised soon in this respect, he said. As chief patron of Aero Club, Sayeed also informed the Governor about the services of Karachi Aero Club, which was the oldest Club for Training of Pilots in the subcontinent, established over 100 years.
He said that the club had been the source of training pilots in Pakistan but unfortunately for few years the government had stopped the subsidy to the club because of which it was impossible for the poor candidates to become pilot. He requested to the Governor for restoring of subsidy to the club through Civil Aviation Authority so that the club would be able to provide training to poor candidates who could not afford the fee for training.-PR
