The council would act as a platform to facilitate businesses on both sides including joint ventures, transfer of technology, and licensing. Both business associations will strive to strengthen bilateral economic relations. They will also study the potential of economic cooperation, and identify challenges if any. They will submit recommendations on policy measures to their respective governments to develop economic cooperation between the two countries.
Speaking on the occasion, FPCCI chairman Irfan Iqbal Sheikh stated that Pak-Algeria JBC would create an enabling environment for both the chambers and foster economic ties. Bilateral trade between Pakistan and Algeria had gradually declined during the past from $100 million to less than $25 million with a trade balance in favor of Algeria.
