The President FPCCI said that despite the fact that EU had granted GSP plus status to Pakistan, there was a lot of opportunity in all sectors of trade and commerce with China. “The trade between China and Pakistan is increasing day by day and it seems that the volume of this bilateral trade will cross $15 billion by 2015,” he said.
