Strengthening Bilateral Relations Of Two Nations
- Pakistan Single Country Exhibition
The Pakistan Single Country Exhibition held at BMICH Colombo successfully completed its first day with a display of colour, creativity and crowds of visitors. The second day of the event, which is based on the common theme, ‘Sharing Legacy’witnessed an even more dynamic and exciting clamor of activities.
The objective of the exhibition is to boost the long-standing commercial ties between Pakistan and Sri Lanka and inviting businesses from the two friendly countries to tap into the growth potential of each other’s economies and leading economies to which they enjoy preferential trade access.
The second day of the exhibition organized by the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) in partnership with the High Commission of Pakistan in Sri Lanka proved to be a massive success. The Exhibition showcased products and services from 150 prominent Pakistani companies and manufacturers in diverse sectors including Engineering Products, Agro Products, Textiles, Handcrafts and Traditional Garments, Agro Products, Pharmaceuticals, Cutlery, Furniture, Carpets, Marble and Services.
Sharing his opinion on the exhibition, this is what one stallholder had to say, “The exhibition was even more bigger and better than last year and we were very impressed with everything. The organizers have really put in lot of effort to make the exhibition a success”.
With last year’s success it is no surprise that the event has generated even more interest among Sri Lanka’s rapidly growing consumer demographics and equally important, local corporates and entrepreneurs that were given tremendous opportunities to form valuable B2B relationships at the event. Parallel to the exhibition, organizers have partnered with the Export Development Board of Sri Lanka (EDB) to facilitate dedicated Business Matchmaking Sessions in order to support businesses from both countries to discuss and explore opportunities for export development and trade.
“We were very happy with the products available at the exhibition. We managed to buy not only clothes and household items but also a range of food products that are not available in the local markets”, said one consumer.
The 3-day event concluded on 15 January.
