Qatari Entrepreneur Stresses Bilateral Trade
Unique Trading Company Chairman Abdul Rahman Mohammed M. al-Muftah, along with Brighto Paints Chairman Khawaja Ijaz Ahmed Sika and Unique Trading Company General Manager Imran Rafique, addressed the media following a press conference at the Brighto Paints Factory in Lahore.
Prominent Qatari businessman and entrepreneur Abdul Rahman Mohammed M. al-Muftah highlighted the untapped trade potential between Qatar and Pakistan, emphasizing that the current trade volume remains significantly below its true potential. He stressed that stronger business ties and frequent engagements between the private sectors of both nations could substantially enhance bilateral trade.
Speaking at the press conference organized by Brighto Paints at its Lahore headquarters, al-Muftah noted that while Pakistani exports to Qatar have more than doubled in the past year and overall trade between the two countries has grown significantly in recent years, many high-potential investment opportunities remain unexplored.
Al-Muftah, whose Unique Trading Company holds exclusive distributorship rights for Brighto Paints in Qatar, encouraged private sector businesses in both countries to strengthen business-to-business interactions to foster trade cooperation and enhance investment prospects.
During his week-long visit to Pakistan, invited by Brighto Paints Chairman Khawaja Ijaz Ahmed Sika, al-Muftah toured Lahore and nearby industrial hubs in Punjab, as well as key tourist destinations in northern Pakistan.
Addressing the media, Unique Trading Company General Manager Imran Rafique underscored the strong and rapidly growing economic and trade relations between Qatar and Pakistan, attributing this progress to the close ties between the leadership and people of both nations.
He further noted that both governments are committed to supporting private sector enterprises in realizing their full potential and in strengthening bilateral trade and investment.
Brighto Paints, Pakistan’s largest paint manufacturer and one of Asia’s leading producers of paints and related products, has recently entered the Qatari market, where its products have been met with a positive reception.
