ISLAMABAD: Comm­erce Minister Jam Kamal said on Thursday that the Pakistan-United Kingdom Trade Dialogue would be launched soon to fortify economic relations.

The minister stated this during a meeting with the British High Commi­ssioner to Pakistan, Jane Marriott, at the commerce ministry secretariat.

Ms Jane is one of the key diplomats of friendly countries who visited the commerce minister to identify areas of increasing bilateral trade.

An official announcement said that both sides outlined key strategies to bolster the already robust trade relations between Pakistan and the UK.

Mr Kamal emphasised the deep-rooted political and historical ties underscoring the significant strides in trade and commerce.

Mr Kamal lauded the UK Developing Countries Trading Scheme (DCTS), initiated in June 2023, as a pivotal opportunity for Pak­­istan to amplify its trade volumes with the United Kingdom.
