Sialkot: Board of Investment (BoI) Chairman Zubair Gilani on Thursday announced the government’s intention to build an expo centre facility in the city, a news source reported. He expressed his views on the matter during a meeting with several representatives of the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCI).
During the meeting, the local business community representatives sought the development of a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in Sialkot for expediting the pace of export activities. They added that BoI should consider setting up this SEZ on a priority basis as it would help pave the way for development, prosperity, and generation of employment opportunities for the local workers.
