巴基斯坦敦促乌兹别克斯坦探索纺织合资企业

Pakistan urges Uzbekistan to explore textile ventures

Pakistan has urged Uzbekistan to explore options for textile joint ventures in the country with an aim to open up new avenues in regional trade in both economies. Khurram Dastgir Khan, minister of commerce of Pakistan said that there is great trade potential between both nations and the current bilateral trade does not reflect the true potential.

An Uzbek delegation headed by Ulugbek Rozukulov, deputy prime minister of Uzbekistan, recently visited Pakistan and attended a meeting chaired by Khan, who said that the visit will be helpful in encouraging trade between the two nations.

The minister also listed certain reasons that affect trade expansion. These include lack of direct land routes, cargo links, marketing strategies and visa facilitation among others, according to Pakistani media reports. He added that both countries need to work together to tackle barriers and facilitate trade.

Khan invited Uzbekistan’s public and private sectors to organise exhibitions in commercial hubs like Karachi and Lahore to promote trade. The Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) and ministry of economic affair and investment of Uzbekistan have already signed a memorandum of understanding to promote trade.

巴基斯坦敦促乌兹别克斯坦探索纺织合资企业

巴基斯坦已敦促乌兹别克斯坦探索该国的纺织合资企业的选择,目的是开放两国经济区域贸易的新途径。巴基斯坦商务部部长说,两国之间存在着巨大的贸易潜力，当前的双边贸易并不能反映真正的潜力。

一个由乌兹别克斯坦副总理Ulugbek Rozukulov带领的代表团最近访问了巴基斯坦，并参加了一个由Khan会举行的会议,他说这次访问将有助于促进两国之间的贸易。

部长也列出了影响贸易扩张的一定原因。这些包括缺乏直接的陆路,货物链接,营销策略以及签证便利化,据巴基斯坦媒体报道。他补充说,两国需要共同努力应对贸易壁垒。

Khan邀请乌兹别克斯坦的公共和私营部门在卡拉奇和拉合尔的商务中心组织展会以促进贸易。巴基斯坦贸易发展局(TDAP)和乌兹别克斯坦经济事物和投资部已经签署了一份谅解备忘录以促进贸易。
