The SAARC Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SAARC CCI) has felicitated the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) for overwhelming success in the general elections while hoping that it would not only improve Indo-Pakistan relations but also help deepen regional integration process in South Asia.
President SAARC CCI Vikramjit Singh Sahney in his statement welcomed the invitation extended by Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh to prime minister-in waiting Nawaz Sharif to visit India terming it as a gesture that would help redefine cordial relations between two major nations in South Asian region. “Success of PML-N through democratic process is a reflection of positive change in society of Pakistan,” he said, hoping that the Nawaz government would be instrumental in establishing amicable and long term relations with India.
Iftikhar Ali Malik, Vice President SAARC CCI (Pakistan), also congratulated the PML-N leadership and expressed the hope that being a business tycoon himself and a matured politician, Nawaz Sharif and his team would take immediate and proactive measures to usher country’s economy on track of development by finding permanent solutions to the core issues like energy, unemployment, inflation and poverty alleviation.
