The Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry has urged the government to have a thought-provoking planning for post-corona economic scenario.
In a statement, LCCI President Irfan Iqbal Sheikh, Senior Vice President Ali Hussam Asghar and Vice President Mian Zahid Jawaid Ahmad said that definitely, post-corona era would be challenging but the opportunities at vast would also be available for the economy of Pakistan.
They said that situation, developed due to coronavirus, has caused a huge loss to the industrial production of various countries therefore Pakistan can give a quantum jump to its export once the circumstances came to normal.
The LCCI office-bearers said that private sector should keep close contacts in Central Asian States, Africa and South America while government should support export-oriented industry through resolving their issues so that it can grab the opportunities in true sense of word.
“Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Venezuela and Chile do not require introduction in Pakistan if discussed under the subjects of trade, geography, culture and ethnicity etc. But in economic scenario, they carry a very inadequate eminence among us”, they added.
They said that government and private sector should recognize the importance of these regions and should gear up efforts to strengthen trade and economic ties with these countries. They said that bilateral discussions should be held between the diplomats and private sectors of these countries whenever it is possible. They said that the trade relations with South America must be touched the core of available opportunities, which are still overlooked or minimally exercised.
