High Commissioner Tarar informed the Chamber that business delegations of Chambers of Commerce and other business houses regularly attend the food, textile, construction industry and ICT-related exhibitions in Canada every year.

He said that Pakistan’s Missions abroad are striving to synergize efforts with Diaspora members for mutual benefit of Pakistan and their adopted countries. High Commissioner emphasized the diaspora members to sensitise their interlocutors about the Kashmir Dispute.
