It was also a matter of satisfaction for the entire business & industrial community that the Businessmen Panel which governs the apex body FPCCI and the Businessmen Group which reigns the premier and largest Chamber KCCI are on same page and have a similar point of view in dealing with numerous economic and other issues being faced by the business community which would make things easier and prove favorable not only for the business community but also the economy.
They said that under the leadership of Mian Anjum Nisar, BMP has been struggling really hard since many years and this was the third consecutive year when they succeeded in overthrowing their opponents. The business & industrial community hopes that the newly elected leadership at FPCCI would continue to take practical steps to improve FPCCI’s functioning and make it a vibrant platform.
