Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday said that the Gulf Cooperation Council Free Trade Agreement (GCC FTA) has been “nearly finalised” and is expected to be signed soon, adding that the pact would significantly boost Pakistan’s trade with GCC member states, particularly Bahrain. The premier made these remarks while addressing the business community in Manama, a day after arriving in the Bahraini capital, where he held delegation-level talks with the country’s leadership at Al Qudaibiya Palace.
