ISLAMABAD: Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin on Friday reiterated the commitment of the government to facilitate the textile sector for enhancing value-added exports.
In a meeting with a delegation of Pakistan Textile Exporters Association (PTEA) at the Finance Division, Mr Tarin said the government believes in building a strong partnership with businessmen, traders and exporters for evolving a roadmap through a consultative process for a sustained and robust export-led growth.
Commerce Adviser Razak Dawood, Special Assistant Revenue Dr Waqar Masood, and Federal Board of Revenue Chairman Asim Ahmad also participated in the meeting.
Key observations made at the US President Joe Biden inauguration also carry a message for other nations, including Pakistan, trapped in deeply troubled economies, divisive politics and low-profile violence at the fringe.
To overcome the challenges to restore the soul and secure the future of America, President Biden said, requires the most elusive of all things in a democracy unity.
By pledging to heal wounds, Biden intends to lower political temperature created under Trump’s presidency that has become a major problem.
He has also secured the Republican’s cooperation for his stimulus package to manage economic recovery though the amount is not as much he had sought. Trump left office with the unity of Republicans impaired.
