巴基斯坦寻求进入美国纺织品市场的特殊准入

 

Pakistan seeks special access to US textile market

In a bid to strengthen trade ties with the US, Pakistan has asked the former to give it preferential access to the US textile market. Ways and means to give Pakistani exporters belonging to various sectors including textiles, more access to the US market was also discussed during the 8th Trade & Investment Framework Agreement (TIFA) council meeting.

Explaining this stand, Pakistani minister for commerce Khurram Dastgir Khan said, “Several international institutions have substantiated Pakistan's stable economy, while the security situation has also greatly improved that Pakistan is now a lot safer today than it was a few years ago.”

He also added that a durably stable Pakistan would not only bring prosperity to its people but would also allow it to play a role in creating a stable region, which is their mutual goal.

The delegation to deliberate upon trade ties between the two countries was headed by Khan, while the head of the US delegation was Ambassador Michael Froman, United States Trade Representative (USTR), according to an official statement.

Froman was of the opinion that TIFA can serve as a premier forum for advancing trade investment relationship between the two countries. This agreement can help improve the economic relationship.

巴基斯坦寻求进入美国纺织品市场的特殊准入

为了加强与美国的贸易关系,巴基斯坦要求美国给它进入美国纺织品市场的优先权。给巴基斯坦出口商的方式属于包括纺织品在内的各个部门，更多进入美国市场的细节也在第8届贸易和投资框架协议理事会会议上进行了讨论。

巴基斯坦商务部部长Khurram Dastgir Khan解释这个立场说,“一些国际机构已经证实巴基斯坦的稳定经济,而巴基斯坦安全局势也大大提高,现在比几年前安全很多。”

他还补充说,一个持久稳定的巴基斯坦不仅将为他的人民带来繁荣,还可以允许他在创建一个稳定地区扮演一个角色,这是他们共同的目标。

由Khan率领的代表团仔细研究了两国之间的贸易关系,而美国代表团是以美国贸易代表(USTR)大使迈克尔·弗罗曼为首 ,根据官方的声明。

弗罗曼认为TIFA可以作为达成促进两国之间的贸易投资关系的首要讨论会。本协议可以帮助提高经济关系。
