Belgian delegation welcomed to Pakistan

Belgium is the fifth largest trading partner of Pakistan among the EU countries

KARACHI: Murtaza Hashwani, Honorary Consul of the Kingdom of Belgium and Deputy Chairman and CEO of Hashoo Group, welcomed a 24-member trade delegation from Belgium at Karachi Marriott Hotel at a festive dinner to celebrate Belgium’s King’s Day and announce their five-day visit to Pakistan. The evening provided an opportunity to further strengthen the trade relationship between Pakistan and Belgium, now the fifth largest trading partner of Pakistan among the European Union countries. In his opening address, Hashwani remarked, “This is undergoing a process of economic liberalisation, and we are optimistic about the potential for foreign investment.” Belgian Ambassador Frédéric Verheyden said. “We are presenting to Karachi this week an array of Belgian companies who can provide solutions to those challenges. The other good news is that Pakistan has officially become an investor in Belgium through an agreement between two companies that is being implemented as we speak.”
