The office-bearers of the Frontier Customs Agents Association (FCAA) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have expressed their unwavering support for the Businessman Forum in the upcoming elections of the Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI). During an event hosted by the association on Monday, they pledged their backing for the Businessman Forum’s leadership.

The event was organized in honour of prominent leaders of the Businessman Forum, demonstrating the strong ties between both organizations. Among the distinguished guests were former senator Ilyas Ahmad Bilour, current SCCI President Fuad Ishaq, senior vice president Sanaullah Khan, and vice president Ejaz Khan Afridi.

Other notable attendees included FPCCI former president Ghazanfar Bilour, Anjuman-e-Tajran Lifetime president Muhammad Afzal, and influential business leaders such as Zahidullah Shinwari, Riaz Arshad, Faiz Muhammad Faizi, and Shahid Hussain.

During the gathering, the leadership of the Businessman Forum emphasized their commitment to fostering business-friendly policies and continuing the efforts to develop the region’s commerce and industry. The support from the FCAA was hailed as a significant boost, especially considering the Frontier Customs Agents’ deep connection with regional trade and their role in facilitating cross-border business activities.

The Businessman Forum has played a key role in representing the business community in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through the SCCI, and their ongoing work has been commended for promoting economic stability and growth. Former senator Ilyas Ahmad Bilour expressed his gratitude for the association’s support, stating that such alliances were essential for advancing the interests of the region’s business community.

The current SCCI President, Fuad Ishaq, also acknowledged the strategic importance of the support from the Frontier Customs Agents Association, noting that it reflects the shared vision of strengthening regional trade ties and promoting policies that benefit local entrepreneurs. He further outlined the goals of the Businessman Forum, which include improving the infrastructure for trade, advocating for better government policies, and fostering a positive environment for business growth in the region.

The SCCI elections are expected to see intense competition, and the endorsement from the Frontier Customs Agents Association is likely to bolster the position of the Businessman Forum. The event, which highlighted the unity between different business factions, underscores the importance of collaboration and mutual support in achieving economic progress in the region.

As the election approaches, the backing of influential associations like the FCAA could prove pivotal for the Businessman Forum in maintaining their leadership within the SCCI. Both the Businessman Forum and their supporters remain optimistic about the future, with their vision focused on sustained growth and prosperity for the region.
