Dry ports: President underscores need for better facilities

ISLAMABAD:

President Mamnoon Hussain has emphasised the need for providing state-of-the-art and best possible facilities to exporters at the dry ports to ensure prompt delivery of orders, enabling them to take optimum benefit from the trade concessions offered by the international community to the country.

The president also urged for more vigorous steps and initiatives to boost Pakistan’s exports while speaking to a delegation of the Sialkot Dry Port Trust (SDPT) who called on him at the Aiwan-e-Sadr.

The delegation was led by SDPT Chairman Mohammad Ishaque Butt.

The President underscored the important role of the business community and exporters in the ongoing economic turnaround of the country. He also called upon them to step up their efforts and complement government measures to fully exploit the geo-strategic location of the country, enabling the country to take benefit from the liberal incentive packages being offered by the government for export promotion and attracting foreign and domestic investment in various sectors.
