A meeting of the Economic Coordination Committee of the Cabinet was held in Islamabad today with Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb in the chair.

The ECC considered a summary seeking permission to call international tenders for export of 108,000 metric tons of sugar lying with the Trading Corporation of Pakistan, as remaining stock from the 300,000 metric tons of sugar imported last year on the recommendation of the Steering Committee on Sugar, constituted with the approval of the Cabinet last year.

The international tender process will strictly follow the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority Rules 2004.
