On May 20, while speaking at a webinar organised by the English Speaking Union of Pakistan (ESUP), the Australian High Commissioner Dr Geoffrey Shaw said that Pakistan and Australia are working together at restoring markets as there is still a lot of potential and room for growth there.
“There are encouraging signs, too, as Pakistan’s exports (to Australia) have increased by 30 percent. This includes rice exports from Pakistan and more health supplements and infant formula from Australia,” the High Commissioner said.
