ISLAMABAD:
National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser has said smooth Pakistan-Afghan bilateral trade will be helpful in exploring new destinations for Pakistani products.
“Pakistan has a meager trade volume of $119 million with the Central Asian Republics (CARs). This trade volume can be enhanced exponentially by using the transit trade route via Afghanistan,” Qaiser said on Friday while chairing the 6th meeting of the Executive Committee of Pakistan-Afghanistan Friendship Group.
“The development and prosperity of the country is dependent upon enhancing trade and commerce relations with all our neighbors,” the speaker added.
