Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (OCCI) Chairman, Faisal Abdullah Al Rawas has discussed ways to enhance bilateral trade with Pakistan’s Federal Minister for Commerce, Jam Kamal Khan.
Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan stated that, “Our current trade statistics do not reflect the true depth of our relationship. By simply removing logistical and communication hurdles, we can easily increase the current trade volume to two to three times its existing level. The key to achieving this lies with the chambers of commerce of both countries. There is a need to enhance connectivity between OCCI and various chambers of commerce and industries in Pakistan.”
OCCI Chairman Faisal Al Rawas assured full support from OCCI and its regional branches, emphasizing his desire to see Omani markets filled with Pakistani products.
Both sides agreed to activate the Joint Business Council between OCCI and the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) to facilitate deeper economic cooperation.
Further, Al Rawas agreed with the minister’s views and assured that platforms like Joint Business Councils would be actively utilized to strengthen trade ties.
The Oman Chamber chairman also stressed the need for stronger business-to-business linkages and invited well-established Pakistani brands and businesses to set up operations in Oman, highlighting the country’s welcoming investment climate.
Parallel to the meeting, a B2B networking session was organized by the Embassy of Pakistan in collaboration with Oman Chamber, bringing together Pakistani business delegates and Omani businessmen to explore trade opportunities.
They spent around two hours interacting with the delegates, discussing their products, and appreciating the range and quality of Pakistani goods. The visit marks a significant step in expanding trade and investment opportunities between Pakistan and Oman, further strengthening economic ties between the two nations, as per the press release.
