President for proactive steps to enhance Pak-Algeria trade

ISLAMABAD: President Dr. Arif Alvi Thursday said that the proactive measures were required to enhance the quantum of trade between Pakistan and Algeria as the current volume of the bilateral trade was not commensurate to the true potential.

In a meeting with Ambassador-designate of Pakistan to Algeria Ata-ul-Munim Shahid, who called on him at Aiwan-e-Sadr here, the president said that Pakistan attached high importance to its relations with Algeria.

He urged the ambassador-designate to make efforts to further strengthen the bilateral relations in all areas of mutual interest.

Underscoring the focus of the Pakistani government on bolstering its exports through mutually beneficial economic collaboration, the president directed the

ambassador-designate to offer Pakistan’s manpower, experience, expertise, machinery and other related equipment to Algeria.

The president wished the ambassador-designate a successful stay in Algeria and hoped that his tenure would bring more vigour and energy to the relationship between the two countries.
