Pakistan and Iran have achieved a significant milestone in strengthening their investment and trade relations.
According to reports, an important meeting was held between the President of the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), Atif Ikram Sheikh, and the Iranian Consul General, Akbar Eisa Zadeh, during which an ambitious target of increasing bilateral trade to $10 billion was set. Both sides agreed on the establishment of a joint trade committee and reaffirmed their commitment to expanding trade volume, while also emphasizing the promotion of the private sector’s role and further strengthening economic and industrial cooperation.
Sources said that the head and members of the Qazvin Chamber of Commerce participated specially in a trade and industrial exhibition in Karachi. During the event, detailed discussions were held on joint investment opportunities in agriculture, the chemical industry, LNG, and the energy sector.
Experts believe that strengthening Pakistan-Iran trade relations will help improve access to regional and international markets. Enhanced bilateral trade cooperation is expected to contribute to economic stability, job creation, and overall prosperity.
The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), through its forward-looking strategy, is playing a key role in improving Pakistan’s international and economic relations.
