Traders urged to tap UK potential

LAHORE: British parliamentarian Lord Nazir Ahmed has said that many sectors of the UK economy have vast space for Pakistani businessmen and they can get good share through B2B contacts, modern business techniques and technologies.

Speaking at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), he said those countries are leading at economic front where private sector is playing a positive role.

The Pakistani business community has the ability to turn country into an economic power, he said, adding that they should come forward and join hands with their foreign counterparts.

Pakistani expatriates are playing laudable role in the UK economy and are ready to facilitate their Pakistani brothers who want to do business.

The member of the British parliament also emphasised on the need for collective efforts to increase the existing trade volume between the two countries.

Pakistani businessmen should focus on joint ventures with their British counterparts to take full advantage of the expertise of UK.

India is utilising all its energies and propagating against Pakistan to cause huge economic loss, but I have raised voice against this conspiracy at all international forums,” Lord Nazir Ahmed added.
