A Bangladesh business delegation, now visiting Pakistan, has urged Islamabad to ease visa rules for business people from Dhaka.
A 35-member business delegation of Bangladesh, led by President of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) Mir Nasir Hossain, made the request to Pakistani Minister for Textile Industry Mushtaq Ali Cheema during talks Monday.
Both sides during the meeting discussed a wide range of issues to promote bilateral trade between the two nations.
Secretary of Ministry of Textile Industry Syed Masood Alam Rizvi and Deputy High Commissioner of Bangladesh to Pakistan Abdul Hanan were also present.
Welcoming the delegation, the minister said Bangladesh is a brotherly Islamic country and there is an enormous potential to enhance bilateral trade between the two countries, particularly in textile and pharmaceutical sectors.
He appreciated Bangladesh's performance in textile and pharmaceutical sectors and said Pakistan could cooperate with Bangladesh in the light engineering and textile sectors.
"Pakistan is a manufacturer of quality power looms and their spare parts, and it could supply them to Dhaka at very competitive rates," Cheema added.
