During the JEC's closing ceremony, Pakistan's commerce minister stated that Pakistan values its relations with Iran. "Enough agreements have been signed between both countries; now is the time to work hard to see them through," Qamar said.

Qamar also expressed the need to ease visa requirements for Pakistani traders and visitors. Furthermore, he assured his counterpart that Pakistan was committed to doing everything possible to increase bilateral trade volume.

"To boost bilateral trade, Pakistan recently opened a new border crossing point, Reemdan, at Gabd (near Gwadar)."
