Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan has urged stronger cooperation between the government and industry to expand Pakistan's exports and enhance the country's role in global trade.
He made the remarks during a meeting with a delegation of the Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI), led by its President Usman Shaukat, the commerce ministry said in a statement issued on Saturday. Kamal Khan underlined the government's commitment to supporting the business community and stressed the need to create an enabling environment for exporters. Pakistan's economic growth, he noted, depended on removing unnecessary barriers, reducing costs for industry, and improving access to new international markets.
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.
