International Creative Exchange (ICE) Chairman Attaul Karim on Tuesday said that tourism and education were important sectors for promoting the “creative economy” and connecting Pakistan with the trillion-dollar Indonesian economy. “ICE’s vision includes promoting the concept of creative economy, connecting Pakistan with modern and innovative economies including Indonesia, bringing investment in the tourism sector and developing it on modern lines,” he said. Speaking at a press conference along with Indonesian Charge d’Affaires Rahmat Hindiarta at the National Press Club, the ICE chairman said that the only solution to the severe economic challenges that Pakistan was currently facing was the creative economy. Indonesia too has largely expanded its economy by adopting this concept. He pointed out that Indonesia was the first trillion-dollar economy among Muslim countries, which was moving step by step with the rest of the world.
