Talking to APP, Tariq Mehmood, President Attock Chamber of Commerce and Industry said visa facilitation for the business community of Pakistan would help boost bilateral trade relations, improve economic growth and benefit people of the two countries.

"Presently the nearest and easiest target for the country's export should be Afghanistan and the Pakistani businessmen would find it more easy to market their products in Afghanistan", Mr. Tariq added.
