Islamabad: Turkish Ambassador to Pakistan Dr Mehmet Pacaci stated on Tuesday (October 25) that Turkiye wishes to increase bilateral trade with Pakistan to at least USD 5 billion within the next three years, news sources reported.
He stated this at a meeting with the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry delegation (ICCI). Dr Pacaci said that commerce via roads and railroads should be encouraged between the two countries, including upgrading Pakistan’s railway system to make it compatible with Turkiye’s railway system. The ambassador recommended forming a committee of representatives from all stakeholders on both sides to consider ideas and methods for trade development via railroads and road connectivity.
Dr Pacaci also applauded ICCI’s plan to organize an International Housing Expo in partnership with the Ministry of Housing and Works and told delegates that Turkish firms in Pakistan, as well as Turkish companies and dignitaries, will participate in the Expo. ICCI president, Mr Bakhtawari, stated at the meeting that the ICCI wanted to organise a Pak-Turk Commercial Forum in Islamabad to bring Pakistani and Turkish enterprises together on one platform for B2B meetings to build business connections in the areas of interest.
