Trade Between KSA, Pakistan
Pakistan set its sights on amplifying its trade relationship with Saudi Arabia. Commerce Minister Majid Al-Qasabi announced an ambitious goal to increase trade volume between both countries.
According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) the target is to reach a staggering $20 billion. This was announced during the Saudi-Pakistani Forum (Feb. 22), organized by the Federation of Saudi Chambers. This move is also a significant step towards strengthening economic ties between two nations that have historically enjoyed friendly relations.
