ISLAMABAD-Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) said that Pakistan needs a strong economy to get its due place in the international community, and emphasized that all the stakeholders should work for steering the economy out of troubled waters and put it on the path of sustainable growth.
Ahsan Zafar Bakhtawari, President Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI), that Pakistan is endowed with a lot of natural resources, which have not been utilized yet due to lack of good governance. Resultantly, Pakistan is still far behind in the race of development and the whole nation is suffering due to this situation. He said that there is a great need to create a conducive environment for business and investment in the country so that investors from all over the world are encouraged to do business and invest in Pakistan, which will improve the economy and bring prosperity to the nation.
Expressing his serious concern over the recent vandalism of government and military installations in recent days, he said that Pakistan is currently going through a difficult economic situation and it is the need of the hour to end the politics of division and promote national unity.
Let’s work together to make Pakistan strong because an economically strong Pakistan can provide a bright future to our generations. Ahsan Zafar Bakhtawari expressed regret over the desecration of martyrs’ memorials and destruction of various properties including Jinnah House. He said that the whole nation including the business community strongly condemns such incidents. He said that Pakistan is currently facing challenges on its borders including terrorism and Pakistan’s armed forces are sacrificing their lives on the front line for national defense.
In these circumstances, we need to strengthen our forces. He said that any kind of campaign against the defense forces means weakening Pakistan, so every member of the nation should avoid any activity that damages our defence forces. He vowed that the business community will always stand with Pakistan’s armed forces in their efforts to defend Pakistan and will condemn any attempt to undermine them.
