Meeting with Multan’s chamber
Pakistan Bangladesh trade was the focus when Bangladesh’s High Commissioner to Pakistan, Md. Iqbal Hossain Khan, held a meeting with the Multan Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MCCI) on Sunday. MCCI President Dr. Shafiq Khan Pitafi joined a large gathering of business leaders and entrepreneurs for the talks.
What the two sides discussed
Officials on both sides went over possible areas of cooperation and future opportunities between the two countries. The conversation centred on ways to promote trade, business and people-to-people connections. No new trade pact was announced; the meeting was framed around openings for closer commercial and social links.
That framing matters for Pakistan Bangladesh trade because Multan sits in a major agricultural and textile belt, and chamber-level contacts are often where local firms first hear about new partner markets. The High Commissioner’s team treated the session as a diplomatic outreach to South Punjab’s business community rather than a one-off courtesy call.
Who joined from the Bangladesh mission
Md. Iqbal Hossain Khan was accompanied by Press Counsellor Md. Tayub Ali and Counsellor (Political) and Head of Chancery Israt Jahan, among others. Their presence signalled that Dhaka’s mission in Pakistan wants sustained engagement with Multan’s traders on Bangladesh Pakistan trade relations, not only capital-city diplomacy.
What comes next will depend on whether chamber members and the mission turn Sunday’s ideas into concrete follow-ups—delegations, product showcases or buyer-seller meetings. For now, the public record is limited to the shared intent to deepen cooperation.
