Karachi — A high-level delegation of the Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI), led by Senior Vice President Muhammad Raza, has departed on a week-long official visit to Bangladesh and Sri Lanka to strengthen bilateral trade relations and explore new opportunities for economic collaboration.
The delegation includes prominent exporters, manufacturers, traders, and entrepreneurs from key sectors such as textiles, agro-commodities, food products, building materials, industrial supplies, and value-added goods, reflecting a broad representation of Pakistan’s export-oriented business community.
During the visit, the KCCI team will engage in a series of business-to-business (B2B) meetings with leading chambers of commerce, trade associations, and private sector stakeholders in both countries. Discussions are also scheduled with government officials and policymakers to address trade facilitation, market access, and potential joint ventures.
Senior Vice President Muhammad Raza stated that the initiative aligns with KCCI’s ongoing efforts to expand Pakistan’s export footprint and deepen economic linkages with regional markets. He noted that Bangladesh and Sri Lanka offer strong potential for Pakistani exports, particularly in textiles, agriculture, food processing, construction materials, and industrial inputs.
He further emphasized that the delegation aims to identify new business opportunities, resolve trade barriers, and promote mutually beneficial partnerships that can enhance long-term commercial cooperation.
The visit also seeks to strengthen institutional ties between KCCI and counterpart organizations in both countries, encouraging sustained engagement and continued exchange between business communities.
KCCI reiterated its commitment to supporting the private sector through international outreach, trade diplomacy, and initiatives designed to open new avenues for growth in regional and global markets.
