KARACHI: Consul General of Fra­nce Alexis Chahtahtinsky has said that limitations on sending remittances abroad and restrictions on importing goods would make it difficult for foreign companies including those from France to operate in Pakistan.

Addressing members of the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Friday, the French envoy expressed the hope that these limitations would be temporary and the government would find a way out to get the country out of this difficult situation.

“We can look at the future with optimism as, despite these challenges, we have one success story of Lucky Motors and Peugeot in Pakistan which shows us that we can have more success stories,” Mr Alexis said.
