President Asif Ali Zardari has asked the SAARC chamber of commerce and industry to undertake extensive visits of countries in the region for enhancing trade and commerce within the eight-nation grouping.
He was talking to a delegation of SAARC chamber of commerce and industry headed by its President Tariq Sayeed in Islamabad. The President informed the delegation that the government has planned to set up cement and ethanol plants in the tribal areas for the economic uplift of the areas and the produce of these plants will also be exported to Afghanistan. He said Pakistan’s trade with other countries should not be hampered just because trade liberalization with India was a slow process.
