SAARC Chamber of Commerce & Industry: Message from Dr. Shakeela Maryam, Vice President, SAARC CCI, Maldives Chapter

The inauguration of the SAARC Chamber of Commerce & Industry Headquarter Building marks an important milestone in advancing regional economic cooperation in South Asia. This achievement reflects the collective vision and commitment of all National Federations to strengthen institutional collaboration and promote greater engagement among the South Asian private sector.

A permanent headquarters will serve as a vital platform for dialogue, partnership, and policy advocacy, further enhancing SAARC CCI role as the regional voice of business. I am confident that this development will contribute meaningfully to promoting trade, investment, and sustainable economic growth across the SAARC region.
