On Friday 4 November, in my role as Trade Envoy to Pakistan, I welcomed the Pakistan High Commissioner to the constituency to meet with the Vice Chancellor of Huddersfield University, Bob Cryan. It was a very productive meeting where we discussed fostering closer ties between the Universities in Pakistan and Huddersfield. The High Commissioner and I then met with local business owners from across Dewsbury and Ravensthorpe, where we discussed import and export opportunities and improving trade links. A thank you to Shire Beds for hosting the event.
