Bangladesh visa for Pakistanis: 1-year trader option weighed
Deputy High Commissioner Sakib Sadakat said in Karachi that a Bangladesh visa for Pakistanis in trade may move to one-year multiple entry, with PCDMA requests prioritised.
Bangladesh’s Deputy High Commissioner Sakib Sadakat said a proposal for one-year multiple-entry visas for Pakistani traders would be considered.
He met a Pakistan Chemicals and Dyes Merchants Association (PCDMA) delegation in Karachi led by Chairman Muhammad Saleem Mukati.
PCDMA said single-entry visas hinder visits, market exploration and B2B meetings, and asked for easier travel.
Sadakat said Dhaka wants stronger trade ties and that the Deputy High Commission would help with exhibitions and B2B meetings.
In a related Karachi seminar, an MoU was signed between the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission and the Economic Diplomacy Forum to promote trade links.
