Saarc CCI vows to promote regional trade, peace


Islamabad: South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) on Friday vowed to play more active role in promoting trade, peace and development in the region aimed at political stability.

Governments and business community must utilise the Saarc Chambers’ Forum to develop cordial relations between the member states, said Iftikhar Ali Malik, Vice President Saarc Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Malik said this while speaking at a reception hosted by SAARC Chamber in honour of Rajinder Kumar Sharma, outgoing Commercial Counsellor of Indian High Commission and his successor Arvind Saxena.

He lauded the initiative of Pakistan and India to ease visa restrictions saying it will help break the logjam to further expand bilateral relations at the people-to-people level.

Malik further said that Pakistani business community will continue to strive to further strengthen its special and cordial relations with all Saarc countries to boost economic and trade activities in the region.
