“Made in Pakistan” need promotion: Razzaq Dawood

While addressing a seminar organized by Ministry of Commerce on Trade Opportunities in USA, China and Indonesia and the second round of Pak-China Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Adviser to Prime Minister on Commerce, Textile, Industries, Production and Investment Abdul Razak Dawood said that devising strategies for import substitution is the need of the hour. Pakistanis need to follow the ‘made in Pakistan’ slogan for betterment of the country.
While addressing the businessmen on the occasion he urged them to benefit from the opportunities arising out of the revocation of USA GSP status from India and Turkey and the implementation of the unilateral concessions granted by Indonesia. The adviser stressed upon the participants to gear up and not let this window of opportunity slip past.
Razzaq assured the community that no market access initiative will be pursued without the consultations of the businessmen. He said that all the chambers and associations have been invited time and again for consultations. The ministry has record of those consultations. All the requests received so far have been accommodated.
