In this regard meetings with the officials of International Federation of Women Entrepreneurs, PHD Chamber of Commerce and industry and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry will be fruitful, she said.

They will find a good international platform to promote their business through women to women networking, she added.
We will also inform Indian businesswomen about sentiments of Pakistani business community regarding the most-favoured nation status to India. We would be representing good image of Pakistan, she said.
