KARACHI: Patron-in-chief of the United Business Group (UBG) and former CEO of the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) S M Muneer has invited the Canadian businessmen to invest in Pakistan and to promote bilateral trade, a statement said on Wednesday.

Addressing the dinner hosted for him by Amir Shamsi, chairman of the Universal Group of Companies, Canada, Muneer said that bilateral trade with Canada could be strengthened by increasing exports.

Member of the provincial parliament Khalid Rasheed said, “We will work to expand trade relations between Pakistan and Canada.”

“Just as Amir Shamsi has held trade fairs in Toronto in the past, we want more trade fairs to be held in the future so that the people of both countries engage in bilateral trade,” he added.
