I am honored to mark the inauguration of the SAARC Chamber of Commerce & Industry Headquarters in Islamabad, a significant milestone reflecting the shared aspiration for a more prosperous and connected South Asia. This permanent institutional home represents an important step forward for the region’s private sector, particularly for women entrepreneurs.

Sincere appreciation is extended to the Government of Pakistan for its valuable support in realizing this landmark achievement. May this new chapter further strengthen regional cooperation and inspire future generations of business leaders across South Asia.
