Sindh Governor Kamran Khan Tessori, while underscoring the need for collective efforts for changing the mindset about businessmen, has stressed that the rulers and state representatives will have to realise that Pakistan will progress only when the business community prospers, which will be possible when all businessmen and industrialists get a special place and due respect.
“It has always been my desire and I am trying really hard to get it implemented that the business community is given a special status in the Blue Book of Pakistan, which would leave no choice for the rulers but to wholeheartedly respect the business community and consult them in every important economic matter,” he said.

He was speaking as a chief guest at an Iftar-dinner hosted by Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) in honour of Karachi-based diplomats on Friday night, according to a statement released on Saturday.
Appreciating the support and cooperation extended by Karachi Chamber, the governor said that keeping in view the importance of business community, he, during the last 17 months, had always promptly responded to all the problems raised by each and every businessman.
“I firmly believe that it is these businessmen who are the future of Pakistan,” he remarked.“Today, we are going door-to-door and seeking help from the IMF, China and others but instead of doing so, if all the stakeholders come to Karachi and spend at least 10 days at Karachi Chamber to hold consultations for creating an enabling business environment and resolving the issues being faced by the business community, I am confident that the economic crisis will be over as it is the business community of Karachi which holds solutions to all the economic ills.”
