Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has outlined an ambitious plan to double Pakistan–Bahrain bilateral trade from the current $550 million to $1 billion within the next three years, signalling renewed economic engagement between the two nations.
The announcement came during the Prime Minister’s visit to Manama, where he held detailed talks with Bahrain Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Geo News reported.
According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, Shehbaz said the target was achievable with the support of the Pakistan–GCC Free Trade Agreement, now at an advanced stage of finalisation, and through recently eased visa requirements that are expected to facilitate business travel and investment flows.
