Two Indian trade expos in Pakistan next year

Business communities of both nations make efforts to improve relations.

LAHORE:

The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and the Punjab-Haryana-Delhi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) will organise two separate “Made in India” exhibitions in Pakistan in February and March 2012 respectively.

This was stated by Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) President Irfan Qaiser Sheikh on reaching Pakistan after a five-day visit to India.

Sheikh said that both peace and trade would get a new boost as it is not only Pakistani businessmen who are visiting India, but Indian businessmen are also making efforts to strengthen relations with their Pakistani counterparts.

He said that to further improve trade between the two countries, especially through Punjab, the LCCI and PHDCCI had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for mutual co-operation.

Sharing the details of the MoU, he said that both the chambers would facilitate the exchange of information about various products and their manufactures, along with respective buyers, sellers and service providers in both the countries.

He said that both LCCI and PHDCCI would also strive to expand and develop bilateral relations and cooperation in the fields of trade, industry, investment and other economic fields between the both countries.
