Islamabad: Pakistani trucks can now travel to destinations like Istanbul and Frankfurt with reduced customs delays under the expanded TIR system, marking a major step in trade facilitation. The new framework simplifies cross-border procedures, enabling smoother and faster movement of goods across multiple countries. Experts believe this development will lower transportation costs, improve export competitiveness, and strengthen regional trade links. This initiative under the Investment & Global Cooperation Cluster reflects Pakistan’s growing integration into international logistics networks. For Lahore and Punjab businesses, improved connectivity can open new export markets and boost industrial activity. Will this system transform Pakistan’s export potential?
