Opportunity for Pakistani textile and carpet in Lebanon market

Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) President Abdul Rauf Alam while speaking to Ambassador of Lebanon to Parkistan Mona El Tannir, urged Pakistan business community to explore the untapped trade potential of Lebanese market.

Abdul Rauf also asked the government to take steps to promote greater economic cooperation which will bring masses of the two countries closer.

Abdul Rauf Alam briefed the ambassador about the functions of trade bodies in Pakistan and invited Lebanese businessmen to visit and hold single country exhibition in Pakistan. The president FPCCI was of the opinion that enormous potential for bilateral trade was available; however, both the countries could not explore the untapped potential so far.

At the occasion, Mona El Tannir said that her country is famous for production of olives and olive oil. Pakistan is importing olives, generators and some other items from Lebanon while, Pakistani textiles, handicrafts, and carpets are very popular in her country. Hence the bilateral trade can be improved.

Pakistani businessmen can benefit from opportunity to have an access to their products in Lebanese market as the embassy grants visas to the Pakistanis to attend lectures, seminars and workshops in the field of medicine, pharmaceutical, information technology and software. Pakistan always assisted Lebanon in every form and crisis for which we are grateful, she said.

The meeting was also attended by leading businessmen, who discussed ways and means to promote greater trade relations between the two countries.
