Consul General of Pakistan in Dubai, Ahmed Amjad Ali has said that Gulfood 2021, an annual food and beverage trade show, will further enhance Pakistan’s ties with the UAE.
“This event will further enhance bilateral trade between two countries and also provide a platform to connect with buyers from other countries,” Ahmed said after inaugurating Pakistan Pavilion at the 26th edition of the exhibition on Sunday.
“After almost a year of Covid-19 pandemic, the opening of Gulfood 2021 is good news for world trade in general and food industry in particular,”
Ali said, and added that after a slow year for world economies, the exhibition was a commendable step. Regarding trade with the UAE in the food sector, the consul general said the industry already contributed almost 20 percent of Pakistan’s exports to the UAE.—TLTP
