Rice import: Mexico delegation to visit Pakistan for lifting ban

Senate Deputy Chairman Saleem Mandviwalla says visit was successful

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is keen on enhancing trade and business interaction with Mexico and investors from both the countries can benefit from the available trade opportunities in the different sectors, said Senate Deputy Chairman Saleem Mandviwalla.

Speaking with the media at Parliament House on Tuesday, he said that Pakistani rice was banned in Mexico a few years back and the recent visit of a parliamentary delegation had paved way for abolishing the embargoes on Pakistani rice.

He viewed the visit as successful and said one of the major achievements of the visit was convincing counterparts in the Mexican Parliament on allowing Pakistani rice in Mexico. ”Our business community is keen on investing in Mexico,” he said.
