Japanese Ambassador to Pakistan Hiroshi Oe said that his government intends to boost trade ties with Pakistan, while talking to the media at the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KPCCI).
On the occasion, the envoy stressed that his perceptions about Peshawar had changed completely after visiting the city. “Japanese companies were not investing in K-P due to security concerns; however, things seem to have improved now,” he said.
Hiroshi thanked the Pakistani government for having extended valuable help during the recent Tsunami disaster in Japan.
He asserted that the Japanese government will ensure that the process of issuance of business visas for Pakistani traders is made more convenient. The ambassador added that his government intends to carry out rural development projects worth Rs1 million in the province.
