KARACHI: President Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) Mian Nasser Hyatt Maggo has expressed his deep desire to broaden bilateral trade, promote joint ventures, exchange technological expertise, and enhance trade tourism with the Republic of Belarus.
He was speaking to Ambassador of the Republic of Belarus Andrei Metelitsa who visited FPCCI Head Office. Speaking on the occasion, Andrei Metelitsa said that Belarusian economy is primarily based on industrial and engineering production – and, quality of its machinery is world-class. For example, tractors, trucks, cranes, metal-cutting machinery, and other construction-related machinery has very high standards. Additionally, he mentioned that home appliances produced in Belarus are of superior quality, e.g. Washing Machines, Dishwashers, Refrigerators, and other small and large home appliances.
Mian Nasser Hyatt Maggo said that Pakistan and Belarus must plan and organize a virtual trade exhibition and not wait for the COVID-related restrictions to be fully over. Afterwards, FPCCI and business chambers of Belarus can organize trade exhibitions and fairs in both the countries every year. He also stressed the need to enhance the export volumes of Pakistani fruits, vegetables, rice, textiles, and other conventional exports to Belarus from Pakistan as the trade volume between the two countries is too low. He requested the ambassador to open-up more opportunities for Pakistani exporters and facilitate swift visa processing. Mian Nasser Hyatt Maggo said that the FPCCI is looking forward to host Belarusian businessmen and traders and send trade delegations to Belarus for productive and mutually-beneficial business relationships.
