PAJCCI holds Zoom meeting on Pakistan-Afghanistan trade matters

The Pak-Afghan Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PAJCCI) held a Zoom meeting to discuss matters concerning Pakistan-Afghanistan trade, the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported.

According to APP, the meeting was chaired by Zia-ul-Haq Sarhadi, a member of the Executive Committee of the Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Senior Vice President of the Pak-Afghan Joint Chamber.

The virtual session was also attended by the newly elected Senior Vice President of the joint chamber, APP said, though the report did not name the individual or detail the full list of participants.

PAJCCI regularly convenes such meetings to address issues affecting cross-border trade between Pakistan and Afghanistan, including matters related to customs procedures, transit arrangements and bilateral commercial relations, though APP's account did not specify the particular topics raised in this session.

Trade between the two neighbouring countries has periodically faced disruptions tied to border management and security arrangements, making regular coordination between chambers of commerce on both sides an ongoing feature of bilateral economic relations.
