ACCI-ATK 2/3/26: PRESS RELEASE

New Employment Opportunities for Skilled Pakistani Workforce in Europe Are a
Welcome Initiative
President ACCI Shahid Zaman
(ACCI -ATK Monday, 2 March 2026): President of the Attock Chamber of
Commerce & Industry (ACCI), Shahid Zaman, has termed the recent high-level
engagements between the Government of Pakistan and European countries,
particularly Italy, as an important and timely development resulting in increased
legal employment opportunities for skilled Pakistani workers.
He stated that Italy’s announcement regarding the issuance of work visas for
Pakistani skilled labor reflects international recognition of the professional
competence and expertise of Pakistan’s workforce. This initiative will not only
open doors for dignified and lawful employment abroad for young Pakistanis but
will also play an effective role in discouraging illegal migration.
President Shahid Zaman further remarked that this development will contribute
significantly to reducing unemployment, enhancing foreign exchange inflows,
and promoting economic stability in the country. Providing international
employment opportunities to skilled manpower is of vital importance for the
national economy, and its positive impact will be long-term.
He appreciated the Government of Pakistan for this commendable initiative and
expressed hope that similar agreements will be expanded with other European
and international partners, enabling more Pakistani youth to demonstrate their
talent and capabilities in the global marketplace.
The Attock Chamber of Commerce & Industry welcomes this positive
development and reiterates its commitment to supporting skill development and
capacity building initiatives for the youth.
