Referring to his recent visits to Iran, the minister said he had observed domestic production in sectors such as construction and automobiles despite the economic challenges faced by the country. He questioned why Pakistan could not similarly strengthen local manufacturing and increase its export capacity.

Naqvi urged Pakistan to learn from the experiences of other countries and develop concrete measures to expand production and exports. He also assured the Lahore business community that he would work to address issues faced by traders and remain available to assist them.
