He apprised the participants that ICCI would also be invited to the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the Senate being organized in March next year.
“ICCI represents chambers across the country and I invite ICCI representatives to accompany us on foreign visits.” He underlined that access to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations,, (ASEAN), Far East and countries that need our cooperation, should be made possible.
He said that the ICCI and the Senate of Pakistan would work together for the development of Pakistan and legislation would be done according to the requirements of the modern era.
