“Establishing the park will promote small and medium enterprises as well,” Dr Song said.

Dr. Song, while talking about some serious concerns over the trade issues said that the bilateral trade between the two countries has suffered a great loss since three years. It has declined by almost 34%.

Mentioning the reasons behind such hefty loss, he said that there has always been non-availability of trade information and lack of understanding in the areas of cooperation, whereas he also mentioned that Pakistan and Korea are currently involved in a free trade agreement feasibility that is expected to end in June this year after which both countries are expecting an increase in the bilateral trade.
