President Arif Alvi encouraged German investors to invest in Pakistan’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs) under China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). He said that keeping in view the huge potential of business, trade and investment between the two countries, the existing level of bilateral trade needed to be substantially improved.

President Dr. Arif Alvi expressed the hope that the new Ambassador, appointed after a gap of 11 years, would work towards further deepening the relationship between the two brotherly nations.

Talking to the Kenyan ambassador, the president said that Pakistan accorded utmost importance to the economic and trade ties with Kenya, it being Pakistan’s no. 1 export destination and no. 2 import destination in the African continent.

The president also expressed satisfaction over the existing level of bilateral cooperation and coordination in the areas of trade, economy, defence and border management.

During his discussion with the Ethiopian ambassador, the president appreciated the decision of Ethiopian leadership to open a diplomatic mission in Islamabad, and expressed the hope that it would improve bilateral relations, enhance mutual exchanges, and would open a new era of friendship and cooperation between the two brotherly Countries.
