Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf Tuesday directed the Ministry of Commerce to put up a proposal for establishing Trade Dispute Resolution Councils for resolving complaints lodged by importers of Pakistani goods so that international trade can be encouraged.

The Prime Minister made these observations while talking to a seven-member delegation of UK Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry here at the Prime Minister House.

Thanking the delegation for putting up the proposal for establishing of Trade Dispute Resolution Councils, the Prime Minister expressed the hope that this would encourage international trade.

The Prime Minister said that overseas Pakistanis have earned a name abroad by dint of hard work and “we are proud of them”.

He said that despite challenges, the country is moving forward, media is free, judiciary is independent and a democratic government is completing its tenure.

The economic indicators show rise in foreign exchange reserves and government has been successful in restricting the inflation to a single digit, he added. He said these are not mean achievements.

End.
