Karachi and Dubai: Dubai International Chamber has launched a new representative office in Karachi to support trade and investment flows between Pakistan and Dubai, as commercial links between the two markets continue to grow.
The office was inaugurated on December 9 during a ceremony attended by business leaders and officials, including the UAE’s Consul General in Karachi, Dr. Bakheet Ateeq Alremeithi.
Dubai International Chamber expands global outreach

The initiative forms part of Dubai’s broader economic strategy to strengthen its position as a global business hub.

Karachi office to support businesses in both markets
The new office of the Dubai International Chamber will work with Pakistani companies to help them access the Dubai market by offering market intelligence, business support, and links with public and private sector stakeholders.
