Islamabad : Pakistan Muslim League (N) President and National Assembly Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif has said that South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) countries should work together to formulate a joint strategy to combat the threat posed to the lives of the people of the region by the new coronavirus, says a press release.
Meeting the Ambassador from Nepal Tapas Adhikari in Islamabad, Shehbaz said Saarc can play an important role to boost trade, industrial development, investment and tourism in the regional countries. He said the Saarc can use the Chamber of Commerce or trade bodies to chalk out a practical framework for this. This platform of Saarc should function like the European Union for cooperation in trade, economy and other sectors. This can help achieve economic milestones and miracles for the regional countries. For this Saarc would need to play a more vibrant and effective role.
