Teli seeks members' support to shift FPCCI head office

KARACHI: Businessmen Group (BMG) chairman and former president Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) Siraj Kassam Teli has said BMG and KCCI fully support the prudent initiative taken by the ruling group at the Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FPCCI) which intends to shift its head office from Karachi to Islamabad.

Hence, all BMG members and supporters, who are either members of FPCCI executive committee or its general body, are advised to fully endorse this initiative at the next general body meeting on 5th August so that this important institution could successfully be shifted to the federal capital which will definitely prove beneficial for the entire business and industrial community.

Siraj Teli, while referring to the relevant Agenda Item of FPCCI general body meeting summoned on 5th Aug, congratulated the ruling group for incorporating this vital agenda item in which it has been proposed that FPCCI head office be moved from Karachi to Islamabad.

The approval given to this important agenda item by the general body would transfer the head office to Islamabad and convert Karachi office into a liaison office similar to any other liaison office which FPCCI already has in all provinces.

He stressed that FPCCI presence in Islamabad would surely make it a vibrant institution by enabling it to always stay in touch with the federal government and all its departments including PM's Office, President's Office and all the ministries etc as well which is in the larger interest of the country as it would help in getting numerous issues instantly resolved.
