KARACHI, Feb 7 Asia Pulse – Regional Director (SEASAP), Australian Trade Commission, stationed at Singapore, David Twine has said that the Australian government and businessmen are very keen to expand trade with Pakistan due to impressive economic growth in the country.
During a meeting with the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) members here on February 3, he also identified sectors like agricultural products, dairy farming, food processing, marble and granite, furniture, handicraft, information technology, education, software development, telecommunications and construction for joint ventures and investment.
He informed the KCCI members that Australian Trade Facilitation Agency provided advice and guidance on overseas investment and joint venture opportunities and helped Australian businesses in developing contacts with potential overseas investors and in developing international markets for Australian goods.
He said Karachi certainly has its significance and importance, being the industrial and commercial hub of the country, according to a KCCI press release.
KCCI president Haroon Farooki said that the trade volume did not correspond to the good relations at the government level, and was largely in favour of Australia.
