Pakistan urged to boost trade with France

RAWALPINDI: Pakistani business community and traders should ensure maximum exports to France and other European Union countries through France by taking advantage of the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) Plus status, said Philippe Fouet,  head of economic department at the French embassy in Pakistan.



Speaking during his visit to the Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI), he said that Pakistan has great potential to expand business relations with France, adding that bilateral trade volume needed to be enhanced.

Also speaking on the occasion, RCCI President Raja Amer Iqbal said that trade volume between France and Pakistan is very low despite having great potential. He asked for exploring possible opportunities for foreign direct investment and joint ventures in the upcoming China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
