KARACHI: Tehran Cha­mber of Commerce and Industry (TCCI) President Masoud Khansari during his visit to Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) on Thursday stressed upon the need to enhance interactions between the business communities between the two neighbours.

Khansari said that instead of waiting for trade promotion at government level, the business communities will have to sit together and make collective efforts to promote trade and investment.

“The TCCI and KCCI will have to seriously focus on connecting various Iranian and Pakistani companies with each other, besides holding regular interaction to discuss and explore trade and investment related opportunities in Iran and Pakistan,” he added.

He said that due to the sanctions on Iran, the country has focused on producing products and services on its own and has also strived to improve bilateral trade with regional and neighbouring countries.
