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.
