Kathmandu, July 7
Ambassador of Pakistan to Nepal,
Abrar Hashmi, said that he is committed to the necessary cooperation and
assistance to increase the export of Nepali goods to Pakistan.
In a meeting with the delegation of
Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI), led by its President Rajesh Kumar
Agrawal, at the CNI secretariat in the Capital on Friday, he said that since
there is a good market for tea in Pakistan, Nepali tea can be exported.
The two sides discussed issues of
bilateral interest.
Stating that Pakistani tourists
would prefer to visit Nepal, Hashmi suggested that arrangements be made for
digital payments between the two countries.
Welcoming Ambassador Hashmi to the Secretariat
of the CNI, Agrawal said that the Confederation is cooperating with the
government and other concerned bodies for overall economic development.
He emphasised that the trade
deficit with Pakistan should be reduced through the products like tourism, tea
and coffee. Agrawal mentioned that re-establishment of direct air link between
the two counties would help the tourism industry. He also requested the
ambassador to provide necessary support and coordination for the same.
