ISLAMABAD: President Mamnoon Hussain has said that the government needed to increase tax revenue for the better development of Pakistan and uplifting peoples living standards and business community should cooperate with it in its efforts for broadening tax base and improving tax revenue. He said this while talking to a delegation of Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) President Khalid Iqbal Malik. He said that the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) was a game changer for Pakistan as it would trigger many developmental projects in the country, create lot of business and employment opportunities and stressed that private sector should ensure maximum participation in its development. He said that the ICCI proposal for an industrial estate in Islamabad would be given due consideration to promote industrialisation and investment in the region. He said that he would also recommend the ICCI representation in CDA Board as well as in the governing bodies of Islamabad Club and Citizen Club. The ICCI president apprised the president of Pakistan of the key issues of business community. He said that more than 90 per cent issues of trade and industry were related to CDA and ICCI should be given representation in CDA Board that would help in resolving their problems smoothly. He said that ICCI had held many meetings with CDA for establishment of a new industrial estate in I-17 Sector as current industrial areas have reached saturation point. Some progress was also made to this effect, but later on the project was shelved by the CDA. He said that this project should be revived to set up new industries in the region. He said that business community was making useful contribution to the tax revenue and was ready to cooperate with the government in further broadening tax network. He said that ICCI representation in Islamabad Club and Citizens Club was important for the facilitation of its members.
