Mrs Naela Chohan, Ambassador of Pakistan in Argentina, visited Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) on Monday. She met with Sultan Ahmed Chawla, President FPCCI and other members. She discussed the matters to the trade and economic relations of Pakistan with Argentina and other South Americans such as Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay, where she is accredited.
Chohan gave a detail presentation on the importance of Argentina and other smaller markets of that region like Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay. She informed that Argentina's per capita income is 14 times higher than Pakistan's per capita income, which represents its huge market size.
Pakistan's exports to Argentina rose to $41 million last year, a $3 million increase over the previous year, which highlights the importance of the region as an emerging market for textile and other goods. She said that Pakistan enjoyed huge trade surplus with all these countries except Argentina and next year Argentina will celebrate 60 anniversary of its diplomatic relations with Pakistan.-PR
