Sanjrani invites Pak-UK business communities to invest in CPEC

ISLAMABAD: Chairman Senate Sadiq Sanjrani on Friday, foreseeing a number of opportunities for the Pak-UK business communities, invited them to invest in CPEC and get benefit of the multi-billion-dollar project.

Speaking at a ceremony to celebrate the success and achievements of talented individuals, Senator Sanjrani remarked that there could have been no better way for the business council’s flagship launch in Pakistan, saying the council has been operating as an effective means of communication with latest insight into the trade and business activities between Pakistan and the UK. “This helps the trade and business communities to identify common ground to explore opportunities and to find ways and means to make effective and promising investments to enhance business-to-business relations.”

The chairman Senate said Pakistan and the UK shared hefty trade volume at around £2.3 billion, though it is important to understand that it is still far from the business potential of both countries. He said the business council could play a vital role in achieving significant increase in the trade volume. He also informed the participants that due to the friendly policies of the government for overseas Pakistanis, the investment in the country is increasing day by day.

Talking about the CPEC, Sanjrani sought attention of the business communities around the world, luring them with the immense investment opportunities in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. He further said the CPEC could span across a multitude of industries and all kinds of business opportunities are available under this multi-billion-dollar project. He expressed his satisfaction that the UK has remained a strong supporter of Pakistan in securing the GSP plus status from the EU, adding that its trade and commerce policies are also friendly and in favour of Pakistan. The chairman Senate said these are all positive conditions for the entrepreneurs and business community from both sides to come forward and utilise the resources for their benefits.
