ISLAMABAD: Pakistan High Commissioner to Canada Raza Bashir Tarar held a meeting with Canada-Pakistan Affiliated Chamber of Trade (CPACT) to discuss strategy to facilitate trade contacts between business platforms of the two countries. The high commissioner informed the businessmen associated with the chamber that improved security situation and restored macro-economic stability in Pakistan had created a favourable environment for economic growth.

He said that Canadian investors should avail the opportunity as Pakistan had a liberal market economy in which there was no restraint on repatriation of dividends for foreign investors.

During the meeting, he emphasised on developing synergy between chambers and trade bodies of the two countries to exploit full potential of economic opportunities.

He said that the high commission would work with the Canadian Chambers and Trade bodies to develop partnership with their Pakistani counterparts to explore avenues available to enhance trade relations.
