Chairman Young Exporters Association honoured for export promotion services
LAHORE, Sep 13 (APP): Chairman of Young Exporters Association Shoaib Ayub Bataalvi has been presented with a special award in recognition of his outstanding performance and valuable services for promoting Pakistan’s exports, introducing young people to global trade opportunities, encouraging new exporters, and playing an effective role in resolving issues faced by the business community.
The award was presented at a ceremony held at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) in recognition of his exceptional performance throughout the year as LCCI Standing Committee Convener on Import and Export Promotion, as well as his significant contributions to export development.
Talking to APP on Sunday, Shoaib Ayub Bataalvi said he had undertaken several important initiatives to promote Pakistan’s exports and increase the participation of young people in the export sector.
In addition to authoring a specialised book on exports, Bataalvi launched the School of Exports, which has provided thousands of young people with guidance and practical training on starting export businesses, accessing international markets, and understanding the basic requirements of international trade.
He said the objective of these initiatives was not merely to prepare young people for employment but to enable them to become active participants in business and global trade.
Through his efforts, a number of new entrepreneurs and young people joined the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry and became part of the export community, enabling them to contribute to the promotion of Pakistan’s exports.
He said he had also played an active role in addressing exporters’ concerns, with particular focus on facilitating the recovery of delayed payments, promoting Pakistani export products, establishing new business linkages, and strengthening coordination between relevant institutions and the business community to introduce Pakistani products to international markets.
“I am proud to have worked to build confidence among young exporters that Pakistani products are second to none in the global market in terms of quality, capability and competitiveness,” he said.
He stressed that increasing exports was of fundamental importance to Pakistan’s economic stability and that the country’s export sector could be expanded by equipping the younger generation with the skills and knowledge required to meet the evolving demands of global trade.
Responding to another question, Shoaib Ayub Bataalvi said initiatives such as the School of Exports were proving important in bringing young people into the practical field of international trade and helping them explore opportunities in global markets.
