Islamabad:The Islamabad Women's Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IWCCI) is intensifying its efforts to foster robust economic partnerships with Türkiye and the United States, creating new avenues for trade and investment that aim to empower women-led businesses in Pakistan.

In a significant move, Samina Fazil, President of the IWCCI, met with senior US trade officials, prominent Pakistani businessmen residing in the United States, and women entrepreneurs during her visit to the country. She also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Turkish American Chamber of Commerce and Industry (TACCI-USA) to enhance bilateral trade cooperation.

The MoU was inked with TACCI-USA President Dr Ali Koçak, marking a milestone in efforts to expand cross-border collaboration and support entrepreneurial initiatives. Dr Koçak said we would fully support Pakistani entrepreneurs aiming to enter the American market. He admitted that doing business in the US comes with challenges but remained optimistic that the superior quality and competitive pricing of Pakistani products would enable them to thrive.
