December 20, 2018: The High Commissioner of Mauritius to Pakistan, Mr. Rashidally Soobadar on Thursday said that both the countries should enter into a Free Trade Agreement to further bolster the bilateral relations for the mutual benefits.

He expressed these views while addressing a lecture on ‘Trade and Tourism between Mauritius and Pakistan’ organized by the Preston University in collaboration with Society of Global Civilizations (SGC).

During his talks, Mr. Rashidally Soobadar highlighted the current status of trade between Mauritius and Pakistan and said that the current volume of trade between the two countries did not match their true potential.
