"We have done extensive studies on commercial intelligence and are prepared to share vital information with a friendly country such as Sri Lanka," said Director General of Pakistan’s Trade and Development Authority (TDAP), Nusrat Iqbal Jamshed.

In the modern context, trade was a specialized subject, both developing and developed countries needed to share common facilities and also adopt new technologies that can broaden their export base, he said.

In keeping with TDAP’s new strategies, it's looking at product and marketing issues. This involves upgrading the produce base and also creating new products. The marketing aspect includes the enlistment of new exporters, who are able to secure hitherto unexplored import avenues, the Asia News Network reported quoting Mr. Jamshed.
