Islamabad : Egypt has a great potential in LPG, pharmaceutical, fertilizers and petroleum products and is keen to enhance trade links with Pakistan in this regard, acting Deputy Head of Mission, Embassy of Egypt Islamabad, Ayman Tharwaf says.
In a meeting with the President of the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI), Nasir Khan, Tharwaf said that the current trade volume between Pakistan and Egypt was very low and it should be enhanced through active involvement of the chambers of commerce of the two countries, according to a statement.
