Iranian CG in Karachi meet President of FPCCI

CG of I.R.I in Karachi, Hassan Nourian emphasized enhancing bilateral trade between Iran and Pakistan on Tuesday during visit to the FPCCI

Consul General of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Karachi Hassan Nourian emphasised enhancing formal bilateral trade between Pakistan and Iran on Tuesday during the Iranian diplomat’s visit to the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI).

Hassan Nourian said formal trade between the two countries stands only at $1b and it is too low; given the fact that the combined population of Pakistan and Iran is 300 million.

Hassan Nourian emphasised that the quality of Iranian products is world-class and Iranian industry buys their plants mostly from the best manufacturers. He also appreciated the willingness of the Pakistani embassy in Iran for supporting the enhancement of bilateral trade.

FPCCI President Mian Nasser Hyatt Maggo extended his heartiest welcome to Iranian CG Hassan Nourian, at Federation House, Karachi.

Mian Nasser Hyatt Maggo said FPCCI is very keen to enhance bilateral trade between the two countries and for that matter removal of bottlenecks is warranted, e.g. lack of banking and financial channels, absence of barter-trade agreements or mechanisms at the governmental level, and unfair geopolitical pressures.
