Industrialists call for action on Pakistan-Iran trade targeting $10bn
KARACHI: Welcoming the Pakistan-Iran bilateral trade target of up to $10 billion, industrialists, exporters and importers called for exploring avenues for local currency or barter trade, tapping Iran’s potential in the energy sector and resolving the issues of the Pakistan-Iran natural gas pipeline, among others, directly in the wider interest of the country. Industrialists support scaling up formal bilateral trade, highlighting its mutual benefits. They stress the need to complete the long-delayed Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project as local industries demand cheaper gas to reduce the cost of doing business.
