Pakistani Perspective

As mentioned above; a prerequisite to the development of any economy is an efficient logistics and transportation system and the driver of an efficient logistics and transport system is an efficient freight forwarding sector. Pakistans freight forwarding, logistics and transport sector had been virtually non-existent, so about five years ago the government was approached for exploring the merits of addressing this sector. It was evident that to support the growth of Pakistans economy this sector would need a focused development effort. Additionally it was also realized that a properly articulated and efficient logistics and transport sector could provide services to not only Pakistans economy (with a population of 170 million) but also to Central Asia (with a combined population of 60 million), as well as the larger population of Western China.
