International ties: Greece wishes to promote bilateral trade

"Frequent exchange could lead to untapped bilateral trade potential," says ICCI President.

ISLAMABAD: Greek Ambassador Petros Mavroidis, during a visit to the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI), said that Islamabad and Athens needed to improve their commercial and economic relations and promote bilateral trade and investment. He added that cooperation in the solar energy sector could be another area for strengthening economic relations between the two countries. In his welcome address, ICCI President Zafar Bakhtawari said that Greece has great importance for Pakistan as thousands of Pakistanis work there, contributing to the development of Grecian economy while helping Pakistan’s economy in the form of remittances. He said that this is the right time to focus on non-traditional markets, adding that frequent exchange could lead to untapped bilateral trade potential.
