New Hampshire businesses interested in taking advantage of new government funding allocated to stimulating economic growth in Afghanistan and Pakistan are invited to take part in a special free coffee roundtable discussion at the New Hampshire Division of Economic Development (172 Pembroke Road) on March 4th from 10 a.m.-noon.
Pakistan, whose economy is estimated to grow at least 4% this year with anticipated strong international economic recovery, features import opportunities in industrial machinery and computer parts among many other products. With private investment projects backed with national support beginning to pick up steam, Afghanistan features import opportunities in capital goods, foodstuffs, textiles and other manufactured goods, and petroleum products.
This discussion, offered by the New Hampshire International Trade Resource Center, will be led by Waheed Mansur, the newly appointed Commercial Consul to Afghanistan and Pakistan. Born in Islamabad, Pakistan, Mansur is currently in the software development industry in New Hampshire, having worked for Digital Prodigy Ltd., Best Connectivity LLC and Eastern Trading International. He is experienced in international business, development and management in South Asia and the Middle East, primarily in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and the UAE.
