FAISALABAD: The business community of Pakistan must develop good relationship with foreign diplomats to give a quantum jump to exports, and Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry Standing Committee on Diplomatic Affairs and International Trade Delegations should work seriously in this regard, said FCCI President Shabbir Hussain Chawla here Monday.
Chairing the standing committee meeting, he said that Lahore and Islamabad chambers were very active on this front and regularly organising international events. The events were attended by ambassadors, diplomats and high government officials including president and prime minister of Pakistan.
He said that participation of the chamber members in the events was very productive and the standing committees must encourage relevant members of FCCI to ensure their presence in these meetings.
