PESHAWAR: Vice President of SAARC Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Haji Ghulam Ali has termed the visit of Prime Minister Imran Khan to Sri Lanka as very fruitful for promotion of regional trade and revival of SAARC forum.

Talking to APP in Peshawar today (Saturday), he said the SARRC is lying dormant due to negative attitude of India because of its refusal to participate in its annual summit since 2016.

Ghulam Ali appreciated the offer extended by Pakistan to Sri Lanka to benefit from China Pakistan Economic Corridor, allowing access to Sri Lankan’s goods to Afghanistan and Central Asian Republics via Gawadar sea port.
