Canadian Minister for International Trade Francois-Philippe Champagne says Pakistan’s inclusion in the global list of top 10 most-improved counties in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business 2017 report is the direct result of country’s successful economic reforms.

In a letter to Pakistan High Commissioner Tariq Azeem, he said it is appreciable that the contribution of the sizable Pakistani Canadian community in support of bilateral relationship and in enriching Canadian society is significant.

He reiterated his will to strive for further expansion of commercial ties with Pakistan, which has already reached 1.44 billion dollar during the last year. He also noted that Pakistani students are increasingly choosing Canada as an education destination.-Radio Pakistan
