LAHORE: The Dubai International Chamber, one of the three chambers operating under the Dubai Chambers umbrella, has officially launched a new international representative office in Karachi aimed at strengthening bilateral trade and investment ties between Pakistan and Dubai.
The opening of the Karachi office is part of the ‘Dubai Global’ initiative, which seeks to establish 50 international representative offices by 2030. The initiative is designed to enhance Dubai’s status as a leading global business hub by attracting foreign direct investment and supporting the international expansion of Dubai-based companies into 30 priority global markets.
The office was inaugurated at a ceremony in Karachi attended by His Excellency Dr. Bakheet Ateeq Alremeithi, Consul General of the United Arab Emirates in Karachi, along with senior officials and representatives of Pakistan’s business community.
His Excellency Mohammad Ali Rashed Lootah, President and CEO of Dubai Chambers, stated:
“The inauguration of our new office marks a strategic step that reflects our firm commitment to strengthening the robust economic partnership between Dubai and Pakistan. We aim to broaden the scope of bilateral cooperation between our business communities and advance our vision to create new paths for the flow of trade and investments. This will help drive mutual growth and enhance the ability of Pakistani companies to capitalise on emerging opportunities in Dubai.”
The launch comes amid notable growth in business relations between the two markets. Pakistan’s non-oil trade with Dubai surpassed Rs 1.74 trillion in 2024. Between early 2022 and the end of Q3 2025, the number of Pakistani companies registered as active members of the Dubai Chamber of Commerce rose by 161%, reaching 33,110.
During the first nine months of 2025 alone, 6,850 new Pakistani companies joined the chamber, underscoring Pakistan’s growing engagement with Dubai’s dynamic business ecosystem.
