LAHORE, JUN 13 (APP/DNA): The launch of a train service between Pakistan and Moscow is a landmark initiative that would open new vistas for trade promotion not only with Russia but also with Central Asian states, European countries, and even parts of Africa.
Convener of Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) Regional Committee on Food, Shahid Imran stated this in a meeting with industrialists delegation led Mian Zahid Iqbal, former VP FPCCI, here on Friday.
Shahid Imran emphasized that this rail link would reduce significantly transportation costs and delivery times, making Pakistani goods more competitive in international markets. He was of the view that the train service would also boost Pakistan’s exports of food products especially snacks and other industrial goods, paving the way for economic diversification and regional integration.
“This train service is more than a logistical achievement – it’s a strategic advancement in trade diplomacy,” he said and praised the government’s vision in fostering economic ties through improved connectivity and urged the business community to explore new market opportunities this route would provide.
He hoped that more similar initiatives would follow, connecting Pakistan to other global trade corridors, asserting that such developments could transform Pakistan into a hub of transcontinental trade and bring long-term economic benefits.
