BAHRAIN: On the sidelines of the first Pakistan Bahrain Business Opportunities Conference, Pakistan’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Bahrain Javed Malik organised a special dinner meeting which was attended by prominent business leaders of both countries including members of the royal family. President of Federation of Chambers of Commerce, Abdul Rauf Alam, and Chairman Bahrain Chamber of Commerce & Industry Khalid Al Moayyed were special guests of honour, says a press release.

Speaking on the occasion, Ambassador Javed Malik welcomed the two business leaders and said that the closer and more regular interaction of the business leaders from Pakistan and Bahrain is vital for the growth of the economic ties between both countries. He said that the Embassy of Pakistan in Bahrain has organised the first Pakistan Bahrain Business Opportunities Conference to pave the way for emergence of closer business to business linkages and that the business community would be expected to drive forward this initiative forward.  

Both Abdul Rauf Alam, the president of FPCCI and Khalid Al Moayyed appreciated the valuable work being done by Ambassador Javed Malik to strengthen and expand relations between both countries, and said that the revised MOU between both chambers of commerce was a tangible outcome of the Pakistan Bahrain Business Opportunities Conference and this would facilitate the regular delegation exchanges and closer cooperation between businessmen from both sides.  It was agreed that a delegation of leading businessmen from Bahrain would accompany the Bahraini commerce minister when he visits Pakistan in December.
