The LCCI president hoped that the visit would not only bring Pakistani and Iranian businessmen closer but also open doors on joint ventures. He said that it was a proven fact that the economic prosperity lies in integration with neighbouring countries. Pakistan is eagerly looking forward to expanding trade relations with Iran as there is a vast scope for trade boosting between the two countries.
He said that Iranian businessmen were keen to work hand in hand with their Pakistani counterparts; therefore, Pakistani businessmen should avail the opportunity to the maximum. Joint ventures between Pakistani and Iranian businesspeople are the only way to explore the huge opportunities generated after lifting of sanctions on Iran.
