Additionally, more than 150 prominent businessmen and chamber representatives from the Middle East and North African (MENA) region will converge in Cairo, furthering the prospects of commercial ties with Pakistan.
This initiative aligns with Pakistan's "Look Africa" Policy, which has previously yielded significant commercial benefits in South Africa's Johannesburg, Nigeria's Lagos, and Kenya's Nairobi, according to the ministry.
