Bangladesh is taking steps to revitalise the long-dormant Joint Economic Commission (JEC) with Pakistan, aimed at enhancing trade and investment cooperation, according to Commerce Advisor Sheikh Bashir Uddin. He shared the update after a meeting with Pakistani Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan at the Secretariat in Dhaka on Thursday afternoon. “We had very intensive talks with the Pakistani commerce minister,” Bashir said. The new Trade and Investment Commission will evaluate opportunities to boost bilateral trade in these categories, he added. “We explored agricultural and food trade, including fruit imports and exports,” Bashir said.
