Speaking on the occasion, Pakistan’s Minister for Commerce, Jam Kamal Khan, emphasized the importance of regional trade and connectivity with neighboring countries. “Trade is not just a business transaction—it represents people-to-people connections,” he stated, underlining the broader impact of cross-border commerce.

Iranian Minister of Commerce, Mohammad Atabak, echoed the sentiment, saying, “Trust between our business communities is encouraging. Strengthening brotherly relations through trade cooperation is essential.” He noted that both Iranian and Pakistani traders have full confidence in each other, which is key to long-term economic partnership.

Both sides stressed the importance of utilizing trade corridors more effectively and agreed to enhance bilateral trade and cross-border cooperation. Discussions also highlighted the need for practical measures to increase Pakistan’s exports to Iran.

In addition to agreeing on the continuation of B2B meetings and trade delegation exchanges, the talks covered potential collaboration in key sectors including agriculture, energy, livestock, and logistics. The meeting reflects a mutual commitment to deepen economic engagement and pave the way for sustainable regional development.
