Italy To Reopen Trade Office In Karachi

Speaking at a press conference, he said that his government intends to deepen business relations with Pakistan. Italy has also decided to reopen its trade commission in Pakistan, he addedThe commission is scheduled to start work in early January 2016, it was announced. It will be reopened in Karachi, while the Italian government will reinforce its trade office in the embassy at Islamabad. The Italian trade commissioner is visiting Islamabad for meetings with Pakistani top officials and businessmen to explore business avenues. Flanked by Italian Ambassador Stefano Pontecorvo, the Italian trade commissioner said the need for the revival of the commission was felt because of under-representation of Italian companies in Pakistan.

The trade commissioner mentioned agriculture machinery, agro-processing, livestock and dairy, processed food industry, transport, furniture making, marble industry, textile, leather and energy sectors as areas of interest for prospective Italian investors.

The trade commissioner said that Italy is a leading exporter of textile machinery and intends to ramp up exports to Pakistan. He further said that Italy is a world leader in building of dams, roads and energy projects. He said Italian businessmen are closely following Pakistani market. “We cannot afford to ignore the market of 200 million people,” he said.
