LAHORE: Turkish businessmen are ready to initiate joint ventures with their Pakistani counterparts as they are convinced that ample opportunities lie in a number of sectors including textiles, construction and energy, stated Resul Secilmis, the head of a 32-member Turkish business delegation.

Speaking at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) on Monday, Secilmis said that Turkey has a lot to offer to their Pakistani counterparts and they should take benefit of available opportunities.

He said that both the countries have marvelous untapped business potential that needs to be explored by maximising involvement of private sectors of the two countries.
