Pakistan’s National Logistics Cell (NLC) has initiated cargo transportation via Transports Internationaux Routiers (TIR) admissions for Azerbaijan and Turkey, Trend reports on Sept. 24 referring to Advisor to Prime Minister on Commerce and Investment Abdul Razak Dawood.
“It is a milestone in making Pakistan a Transit and Transhipment hub,” Dawood said in a tweet. “TIR admission will allow cargo to cross borders and move along trade routes with reduced procedural barriers.”
Dawood said that many private companies are applying to get TIR permission.
“It will attract investment and create opportunities for our logistics companies and allied services due to the flow of international trade traffic through Pakistan,” Dawood added.
