FCCI delegation visit to Turkey was a total success and as a result a delegation of Istanbul Chamber of Commerce will visit FCCI in the near future while FCCI was also planning three delegations to various countries during the month of August 2014, said Eng. Suhail Bin Rashid, President Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI).
He was talking to the FCCI delegation that returned recently from Turkey. Head of Delegation Rashid Munir briefed the President FCCI about his meetings and achievements and said that the Turkish entrepreneurs have not yet fully realised the textile potential of Pakistan as they consider Pakistan as one of the third world countries. He said that we have given a clear message from the platform of Istanbul Chamber of Commerce that Pakistan has made a tremendous progress in the field of textile which was reflected by its textile exports which were earning about US $13 billion per annum. He said Turkish entrepreneurs were surprised to hear that Pakistan was consuming a huge quantity of textile chemicals and dyestuff. He said that some of the Turkish businessmen have agreed in principle to plan a delegation to visit FCCI in the near future. They were inclined to set up distribution offices of their companies in Faisalabad on top priority basis.
He said that office bearers of Istanbul Chamber of Commerce hoped that the exchange of delegations between Pakistan and Turkey will continue to explore new avenues of co-operation in different sectors of economy. He also quoted his meeting with the Pakistan Consul General in Turkey and said that he also hoped to hear that the FCCI delegation was a serious one that made full deliberations with the sector-specific persons. However, he regretted that he was unable to arrange more meetings with the businessmen as they were informed of the delegation visit at the nick of the time.
