ISLAMABAD: The government is committed to expediting the establishment of Potato Development Council under the forthcoming Strategic Trade Policy Framework (STPF), revealed Adviser to Prime Minister on Commerce and Investment Abdul Razak Dawood.
“The council will formulate a long-term vision and policy for this sector,” the adviser announced on his official Twitter account.
