Pak-US trade ties expanding: Hunt

Principal Officer of the US Consulate Lahore, Bryan D Hunt on Thursday said that trade between Pakistan and USA was on the rising trend and had surged by 40 percent.
While addressing the business community at the zonal office of the Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commence and Industry (FPCCI), he said that exports to USA from special industrial zone being set up in Pakistan would further help increase exports to the USA.
The USA is not only investing in the special zone but also spending billions of dollars in health, education, and earthquake relief. Export of fruit is also being actively considered and hopefully, the mango exports to the USA would commence from the year 2008.
