\'Trade with Egypt can go from $232m to $2b\', LCCI president

Pakistan aims to enhance bilateral trade with Egypt to $2 billion from the current $232 million, as both countries explore stronger economic ties under the "Look Africa" policy. The target was outlined during Egyptian Ambassador Dr Ihab Abdelhamid's visit to the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) on Wednesday. According to a statement, LCCI President Faheemur Rehman Saigol said there is a need to further strengthen trade relations between Pakistan and Egypt. Under Pakistan's "Look Africa" policy, Egypt holds a highly important position as a key partner. He noted that current bilateral trade stands at around $232 million, which is far below the true potential. Pakistani products have strong market opportunities in Egypt, and exploring new markets is essential to increasing exports.
