LAHORE: The
Australian visa requirements for Pakistani businessmen have been
relaxed to some extent and the High Commission is working to grant the
business community easy access to the Australian market, said the Deputy
High Commissioner of Australia, Paul Molloy, at the Lahore Chamber of
Commerce and Industry (LCCI) on Wednesday.
“Australia
wants to further strengthen its relations with Pakistan and for this
purpose it has relaxed visa procedures,” said Molloy. He encouraged
Pakistani businessmen to initiate joint ventures with their counterparts
in Australia.
Molloy said that Pakistani businessmen
should avail Australian expertise in agriculture and livestock as this
would help double their output. He further said that Australians had the
latest technology in these two fields and with a little effort in this
direction, miracles could be achieved.
Speaking on the
occasion, LCCI President, Farooq Iftikhar, said that the trade and
economic relations between Pakistan and Australia should grow stronger.
He said that traditionally, bilateral trade has been heavily in favour
of Australia. Both the countries have large markets so market surveys
should be conducted to explore potential areas of trade.
