ISLAMABAD: Türkiye reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening economic ties with Pakistan. It was also agreed that technical delegations would meet to advance discussions on rice trade.
Federal Minister of Pakistan for Commerce, Jam Kamal Khan held a detailed meeting with the Turkish Ambassador to Pakistan, Dr Irfan Nezirolu, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) to review and enhance bilateral trade cooperation, with a special focus on increasing Pakistan’s rice exports to Türkiye.
During the discussions, the Federal Minister highlighted that a strong rice harvest has been recorded this season, creating a surplus available for export.
However, the commerce minister noted that aggressive pricing by major exporters such as India and Vietnam has intensified competition in international markets, putting downward pressure on prices despite Pakistan maintaining strong export volumes.
