In a recent meeting at the Federation House in Islamabad, Pakistan, the President of the Federation of Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) emphasized the need for establishing direct flights and strong air links between Morocco and Pakistan to bolster trade relations between the two countries. The FPCCI President highlighted the vast investment opportunities available in Pakistan across various sectors, including tourism, construction, hydro, textile, pink salt, solar power projects, mines and minerals, gemstones, and agriculture. He noted that Pakistan’s exports to Morocco have grown from $24.85 million in 2018 to $32.06 million in 2022 and stressed the importance of further increasing this figure.
