To sustain and capitalize on this momentum Prime Minister has ordered the emergency capacity upgrades, formed working groups to streamline customs clearance, regulatory compliance, and SME integration into international trade.
PM intends to have these infrastructural initiatives incorporated into the national strategy. To this effect he approved the establishment of Trade Facilitation Board. The PM will serve as the chairman of this board and oversee non-tariff measures, cross-border trade policies, and supply chain optimizations to drive sustainable trade growth.
