ISLAMABAD - Ethiopian Ambassador to Pakistan Jamal Baker Abdullah appreciated the efforts of Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) President Ahsan Zafar Bakhtawari for promoting bilateral relations and starting direct flights between Pakistan and Ethiopia. The envoy during a visit of the chamber’s office also presented a shield of honour to Ahsan Bakhtawari on behalf of his government for rendering “valuable services for the strengthening of relations between Pakistan and Ethiopia, especially for the improvement of trade relations,” an ICCI news release said on Friday. This year, an ICCI delegation led by its President Ahsan Bakhtawari visited Ethiopia and laid the foundation for efforts to take the relations between the two countries to new heights. Ambassador Jamal Baker Abdullah, in his remarks on the occasion, said steps were being taken by both sides to further improve their trade relations. He viewed that during the last year, the relations between the two countries and the interest of their business community in each other had increased enormously due to the efforts of the chamber.
