SCCI sends third trade mission in one month

A seven-member trade delegation from the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry was scheduled to leave for Malaysia on August 29, according to Express Tribune. The chamber described the trip as its third overseas mission in August, following earlier visits to South Africa and South Korea. The aim, the chamber said, is to find new international markets, deepen business links and raise exports from Sialkot.

Qaiser Baig, chairman of the chamber's departmental committee on fair and exhibitions, said regular overseas delegations are meant to open new global markets for Sialkot's products, strengthen ties with foreign firms and lift Pakistani exports. During the Malaysia stay, the group will meet business leaders and institutions to explore areas of cooperation and identify opportunities for Sialkot's industries.

The delegation plans to promote Sialkot's export-oriented goods, arrange business-to-business contacts and look at ways to expand trade between Pakistan and Malaysia.
