CA for enhanced trade with Pakistan

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus stressed the need for boosting bilateral trade between Bangladesh and Pakistan when Pakistan High Commissioner, Imran Haider, paid a courtesy call on him at the State Guest House Jamuna in Dhaka.

During the meeting, both sides discussed ways to expand cooperation in trade, investment, and aviation, as well as scaling up cultural, educational, and medical exchanges to further strengthen bilateral relations between the two South Asian nations, said a spokesman of the CA Office.

Professor Yunus underscored the need to further boost Bangladesh-Pakistan trade and expressed hope that during Mr. Haider's tenure, both countries would explore new avenues for investment and joint venture businesses.

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus welcomed the growing interactions between the two countries and emphasised the importance of increased visits, as well as cultural, educational, and people-to-people exchanges among SAARC member states.

The Pakistani High Commissioner noted that bilateral trade recorded a 20 per cent growth compared to last year, with business communities from both countries actively exploring new investment opportunities.
