ISLAMABAD, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th Jun, 2026) High Commissioner of Mauritius to Pakistan Munsoor Kurrimbaccus on Monday emphasized the importance of establishing joint ventures, promoting business-to-business (B2B) linkages and organizing regular exchange of trade delegations to unlock the immense economic potential between Pakistan and Mauritius.

The High Commissioner visited the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) on Monday, where he held a productive and result-oriented interactive session with the chamber leadership and members of the business community to discuss opportunities for strengthening bilateral trade, investment and economic cooperation.

Addressing the gathering, the High Commissioner highly appreciated the role of ICCI as the premier business representative organization of the federal capital and commended its services for the promotion of trade and industry.

He said he was deeply impressed by the commitment, determination and proactive approach of the ICCI leadership towards fostering business linkages with countries around the world.

Highlighting the economic strengths of Mauritius, Ambassador Kurrimbaccus described his country as a major economy and a strategic gateway to Africa.

He showcased the vast potential available in Mauritius in the fields of trade, investment, tourism and hospitality and encouraged Pakistani entrepreneurs to explore opportunities in these sectors.

He observed that joint ventures between Mauritian and Pakistani businesses would not only strengthen bilateral economic relations but would also enable both sides to access wider regional and international markets.

He termed Pakistan a peaceful country blessed with some of the most hospitable, friendly and welcoming people and expressed confidence that stronger commercial engagement would further cement the longstanding relations between the two nations.

Emphasizing the need for continuity in engagement, he suggested that such interactions between the diplomatic community and the business sector should be held at least twice a year to ensure effective follow-up and implementation of decisions and proposals emerging from these meetings.

Speaking on the occasion, ICCI President Sardar Tahir Mehmood said that Mauritius enjoys a unique and special position in Pakistan’s engagement with Africa, being the only African country with which Pakistan has a Preferential Trade Agreement (PTA).

He noted that despite cordial relations and considerable opportunities, bilateral trade remains far below its true potential and requires greater efforts from both public and private sectors.

The chamber is keen to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with leading chambers of commerce and business associations in Mauritius to facilitate direct interaction among entrepreneurs, investors and business leaders. He expressed the hope that the visit of the High Commissioner would serve as a catalyst for opening a new chapter of economic collaboration, investment partnerships and mutually beneficial commercial relations between Pakistan and Mauritius.
