Posted on 8 months ago

ISLAMABAD (APP): President American Business Forum (ABF), Salim Ghauri has welcomed the signing of liberalized visa regime between Pakistan and India and termed it a landmark achievement in attaining much-awaited peace and prosperity in the Sub-continent.
In a statement here, he said both the governments of Pakistan and India deserved appreciation from the business community, as they succeeded in bridging gap after long debate and discussion for years.
"Easing down the traveling between two sides of the border would play vital role in bringing peace to the region", he said.
He was of the view, that the business community has been facing hardships in free movement to finalise their business deals.
The SAARC was the forum where one year visa facility was introduced for the business community.
However, this visa duration was revised down to three months later on, which disturbed the businessmen sentiment a lot.
He expressed the hope that the governments on both sides of the border would realize the potential of business activities and more flexible visa regime would be unveiled in near future.
