KARACHI: In response to the invitation extended by the Mauritian President Dr Ameenah Gurib-Fakim, a high-level trade delegation from the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) will be departing for Mauritius on February 26 to not only explore trade and investment opportunities between the two countries but also to seek ways and means to effectively penetrate into the huge African Market via Mauritius.
KCCI’s delegation, being led by its Vice President M Rehan Hanif, will hold numerous meetings with the Mauritian president, office bearers of Mauritian chamber of commerce, representatives of Greenwich University in Mauritius, officials from Pakistan’s High Commission and the Mauritian business and industrial community.
KCCI Vice President Rehan Hanif, while commenting on the forthcoming visit of KCCI’s delegation to Mauritius, said that the first and foremost purpose is to enhance the existing meagre trade volume between the two countries and to review the feasibility of routing Pakistani goods to African countries via Mauritius. Besides having formal meetings with Mauritian counterparts, KCCI delegation also intends to hold informal interactions with Pakistanis living in the island, he added.
He was fairly optimistic that the visit of KCCI’s delegation to Mauritius would bring the business communities of the two countries closer to each other and pave way for enhanced trade and investment relations between the two countries.
