Khawaja Shahzeb Akram, Mian Usman Zulfiqar and Ahmad Jawad in a joint statement said there was also an urgency to fill the vacant post of TDAP's chief executive officer who must necessarily be a full time and competent professional so that TDAP may deliver in strengthening and expanding national exports on sound and long term basis.
"There is dire need for effective and long term business plans to boost our exports," said the senior businessmen reiterating that the mandate of TDAP is to execute the trade policy in accordance to international demand without any compromise to trade interests of the country.
