During a meeting with Mohammad Ali Hosseini, the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Islamabad, Seyed Naveed Gamar expressed his appreciation for efforts to facilitate bilateral trade and economic relations between the two countries.

Gamar emphasized the need to increase trade and investment between Pakistan and Iran, stating that the current volume of business is not at the expected level.

Hosseini also praised Pakistan’s Minister of Commerce for his efforts, which led to a 15 percent increase in trade between the two countries for the first time.
