In recent developments, Pakistan and Canada have been actively working to enhance their bilateral trade and investment cooperation, as highlighted in multiple sources. According to the Daily Times, Federal Minister for Commerce Jam Kamal Khan and Canadian Minister of International Trade Maninder Sidhu conducted a teleconference to review and advance their economic relations. Both ministers expressed satisfaction with the 'positive momentum in bilateral economic relations' and emphasized their commitment to expanding partnerships for mutual economic benefit.
