As many as 19 Pakistani exhibitors are participating in the ongoing 6th China International Import Expo (CIIE) being held from November 5 to 10 in Shanghai, which has made a remarkable mark by showcasing Pakistan’s largest effort ever.
The expo, which has been held annually in Shanghai since 2018, is a major platform for promoting international trade and cooperation. “Pakistan’s active participation in this prestigious event highlights its commitment to strengthening economic ties with China, Pakistan’s second largest export destination, and exploring new avenues of collaboration,” highlighted Hussain Haider, Consul General in Shanghai.
One of the key highlights of Pakistan’s participation in the 6th CIIE is its focus on promoting its diverse range of export products. From leathers and surgical instruments to agricultural goods and handicrafts, Pakistan has showcased its rich cultural heritage and economic potential.
Pakistan’s pavilions, adorned with vibrant displays and innovative products, have attracted the attention of exhibitors and visitors alike, China Economic Net (CEN) reported on Thursday.
Recognizing the significance of CIIE, the Pakistani Ministry of Commerce has extended its full support to the participating businesses. Various incentives, including financial subsidies and facilitation services, have been provided to ensure a successful exhibition experience.
This proactive approach by the government was widely appreciated by the Pakistani exhibitors and further enhanced Pakistan’s image as an attractive investment destination.
CIIE is one of the biggest signs of the opening-up of the Chinese economy. It is encouraging that China’s “dual circulation” development model provides more space for international high-quality imports, Haider said.
Pakistan’s exports to China in September have surged by an impressive 100.5% compared to the corresponding month during the previous financial year, which bodes well.—
