The All Pakistan Business Forum (APBF) and Em-bassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Saturday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to promote trade links through exchanges of business delegations for nurturing closer understanding be-tween Pakistan and Kazakhstan.
President APBF Syed Maaz Mahmood inked the MoU on behalf of his association while Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Pakistan Yerzhan Kistafin repre-sented his country. Addressing the ceremony on the occasion, Syed Maaz Mahmood said the Forum will extend full cooperation and support to strengthen trade and economic ties between Pakistan and Kazakhstan.
He said that the Forum through the Embassy of Kazakhstan will arrange B2B meetings, conducting business delegation visits for sector specific match-making and interaction between development initia-tives and the stakeholders. He said that these activi-ties will also increase economic ties and support on social development. The APBF President said that agriculture plays a pivotal role in the life of Pakistan’s economy as it accounts for around 20% of GDP, as Agriculture not only furnishes food and raw material but also em-ployment opportunities to a very large proportion of population as well, he added.
We are effectively striving to bring business leaders, chambers and associations on a united platform to endeavor for a strong and prosperous Pakistan with sustainable growth, ensured through effective poli-cies followed in continuity, resulting in better qual-ity of life for the people of Pakistan, he maintained.
