The inauguration of the SAARC Chamber of Commerce & Industry Headquarters in Islamabad represents a significant step forward in enhancing regional economic cooperation in South Asia. This milestone highlights the collective efforts of National Federations and private sector of the region.

The establishment of a permanent institutional platform will strengthen coordination, encourage meaningful dialogue, and promote stronger business linkages across the region. I extend my sincere congratulations to SAARC CCI on this achievement and confident it will further promote in enhancing trade, investment, and shared prosperity in South Asia.
