The Commercial Section


In April 2005 responsibility for bilateral commercial activities was shifted to the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the WTO. Since then, a focused commercial strategy was developed alongside traditional commercial information and support activities. Assessment of bilateral commercial relations has shown significant prospects for successful penetration of Pakistani products. The Commercial Team has focused on promoting the existing offers from Pakistan and specific export strategies that better target the Swiss market.

The commercial section of the Permanent Mission of Pakistan to the WTO, Switzerland is involved in:
  • Responding to trade enquiries
  • Maintaining a database of importers and exporters in different sectors from Switzerland and Pakistan
  • Promoting Pakistani and Swiss fairs & conferences
  • Conducting market studies
  • Analyzing trade between Pakistan and Switzerland
  • Informing on procedures, legislations, and trade contacts in Switzerland
  • Building relationships with trade associations and government agencies in Pakistan and Switzerland
