Trade and economics are the main issues that are being discussed at the MSG Trade and Economic Officials meeting which begins today and will end on Friday.
While opening the meeting, Chairman and Permanent Secretary for Industry and Trade Shaheen Ali said the member countries will benefit from the free movement of goods and services.
