FPCCI criticises recommendations of FICCI report

KARACHI: Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) has taken a very serious notice to the recommendation contained in the report of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) Tuesday.

In the report, FICCI is demanding New Delhi to react militarily to Pakistan and conduct surgical strikes against Pakistan, use water as tool to destroy Pakistan’s agriculture, ban all imports and restrict travel between the two countries.

President FPCCI, Sultan Ahmed Chawla said that at the present time and age when resorting to force was considered to be the least productive option, if FICCI advocates the use of force against its neighbours and demands action to destroy Pakistan, it is exposing its nefarious intentions. He said that there is a huge potential of trade between both the neighbouring countries and FPCCI, and FICCI should work in harmony for promoting two-way trade and investment for further developing economic and commercial ties. Both the apex chambers should therefore cooperate and coordinate with each other for achieving the common task of economic prosperity. It is unfortunate that when the entire world is engaged in lobbying for resumption of talks between India and Pakistan through confidence building measures, including free travel and trade initiatives, FICCI is publishing such an irresponsible and immature report, he added. staff report.....LINK
