PAKISTAN International Container Terminal (PICT), a business unit of the Philippine's International Container Terminal Services, Inc (ICTSI), operating in the Port of Karachi, has achieved a landmark by facilitating the first export shipment from Uzbekistan.
The operational milestone highlights the strategic partnership between the two countries, with the recently evolving trade relations further strengthening regional business connectivity and providing a sustainable impetus for global trade, ictsi said in a statement.
From Uzbekistan, the shipment was transported by land to the Port of Karachi where it was prepared for export to India. PICT hopes this development would encourage other countries to leverage Pakistan's trade route, which offers unique geo-strategic benefits especially for other landlocked countries in the region.
'PICT is working closely with the Pakistani Government and trade partners to achieve our shared goal of uplifting the country's economy. Handling the first shipment from Uzbekistan positively reflects our efforts to further add value to the services we offer for all cargo handled at the Port of Karachi,' said Khurram Aziz Khan, PICT chief executive officer.
