Pak-Afghan bilateral trade and exports to the Central Asian Republics is imperative to enhance regional trade.

This will also bring economic prosperity and development in the country. A proper mechanism is needed to be designed at governmental level to remove hurdles to bilateral trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan, said participants during a meeting between president of Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry Hasnain Khurshid Ahmad and Vice Chairman Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Board of Investment and Trade (KPBOIT), Engineer Said Mahmood here in the Chamber House on Tuesday.

The participants emphasized that it is dire need of hour to take proactive measures to facilitate the business community on both sides of the border. They called for taking full benefits from the Afghanistan market and onward to regional countries to enhance regional trade via landlocked Afghanistan.

The speakers also asserted the traders should be facilitated and resolve their issues on priority basis.

The meeting was attended by SCCI Senior Vice President Imran Khan Mohmand, former FPCCI president Ghazanfar Bilour, former president of the chamber Zahidullah Shinwari, president Industrialist Association Peshawar Malik Imran Ishaq, former senior vice presidents Engineer Manzoor Elahi, Ziaul Haq Sarhadi, CEO KPBOTI Hassan Daud Butt, Laiq Zada and others.

Hasnain Khurshid, SCCI president stressed the need of removing hurdles in trade, which, he said, is crucial for further strengthening of economic and trade relations as well as improving of regional trade.

Said Mahmood, Vice Chairman, KPBOIT emphasized that traders should take full benefit from the Afghan market and to boost bilateral trade and economic relations by launching joint ventures and programmes. He asked the SCCI and members to play their due role in improving mutual trade and economic relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Zahidulllah Shinwari, former president, emphasized the need of resolving Afghan traders registration issue, removal of hurdles and anti-business laws/rules to carry out smooth business and trade.

Ghazanfar Bilour welcomed the establishment of new special economic zones in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. However, he said the government should also provide facilities to existing industrial estates on priority basis. He said the business community is fully committed to play their due role in the economic development of the province. He assured the KPBOIT that the business community will fully participate in Dubai Expo 2020.
