Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan has stressed the need for closer cooperation between the government and the business sector to expand Pakistan’s exports and strengthen its position in global trade.
Speaking at a meeting with a delegation of the Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI), led by President Usman Shaukat, the minister reiterated the government’s commitment to facilitating the business community.
He emphasised that sustainable economic growth required the removal of unnecessary barriers, lowering costs for industries, and ensuring better access to international markets. “Creating an enabling environment for exporters is essential for driving Pakistan’s trade forward,” Kamal Khan said.
The commerce minister observed that global trade dynamics were shifting rapidly and urged businesses to remain proactive in identifying emerging opportunities. He emphasised that Pakistan’s industrial and commercial potential could only be realised if industries were empowered to compete globally.
“Instead of creating hurdles, we must focus on facilitating our industries. This is the only way Pakistan can capture new markets and boost national revenue,” Kamal Khan said.
The RCCI delegation assured the minister of its full cooperation with the government’s trade and industrial initiatives. It also shared proposals to help strengthen Pakistan’s presence in international markets.
