Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) President Muhammad Zikria Akbar Zia, accompanied by Senior Vice President Mohammad Ashfaq Hussain Chatha and a delegation of prominent business leaders, visited the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC)'s Business Facilitation Centre (BFC) in Islamabad. The visit was aimed at exploring how the centre supported investors, promoted new ventures and worked to improve the country's overall business climate. During the trip, the head of the centre, Salman Malik, and his team briefed the ICCI delegation on their operations, showcasing how all key business-related government departments have been brought together under one roof. Zia praised the establishment of the one-window facility as a timely and crucial step towards supporting the business community and attracting capital. He noted that streamlined facilitation, better institutional coordination and stronger public-private partnerships were vital to unlocking Pakistan's economic potential and driving sustainable growth. The ICCI president called for practical, result-oriented steps to improve the ease of doing business. He emphasised that cutting through red tape and addressing the genuine concerns of entrepreneurs would spur fresh investment, revitalise industrial activity and boost Pakistan's export capacity. He observed that closer collaboration between state institutions and the private sector could help identify untapped opportunities, quickly remove investor bottlenecks and turn economic potential into real-world results. The visit, he added, underscored the ICCI's commitment to building stronger institutional ties and backing initiatives that position Pakistan as an attractive, investor-friendly destination. Other members of the visiting delegation included Islamabad Industrial Association President Omais Khattak, ICCI Executive Committee members Israr Mishwani, Abrar ul Haq, Zohaib Arshed Malik and Rana Iftikhar Ahmed Khan, former executive committee member Mian Waqas Masood and Secretary General Ghulam Murtaza.
