Malaysian High Commissioner to Pakistan Mohammad Azhar Bin Mazlan today called for enhancing bilateral trade up to 12 billion dollars.

Addressing the businessmen at the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry, he said that the current volume of trade between the two countries is less than the mutual trade potential.

He said there are many opportunities for development in the halal industry in Malaysia and Pakistan. He urged private sector of both countries to play their full role by taking tangible steps.

Malaysian High Commissioner said his country would extend full cooperation to Pakistan to become a regional hub of halal industry.
