MULTAN: The business community of southern Punjab has urged the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) to take necessary measures for encouragement of women exporters, by facilitating them in participation of international trade fairs, festivals and exhibitions and preparation of documentation for exports.

Different government departments should accommodate women businesspersons in the board of directors, said Multan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) President Malik Asrar Ahmed Awan.

‘Women empowerment is key to development’

He also asked for introduction of special schemes for women in trade, business and industrialisation. Awan stressed that businesswomen should be given facilities so that they could export their products abroad to earn foreign exchange for the country.
