It is my pride and honour to see Expo Pakistan 2005 emerge as an avenue to expose the high quality goods offered by the manufacturers and exporters in Pakistan to the rest of the world, while boosting our exports in the competitive world markets. Expo Pakistan 2005 provides a golden and unique opportunity to our exporters to adequately market their diverse goods to the foreign buyers that have planned to visit Pakistan for this momentous occasion.

Pakistan enjoys competitive advantage over several other countries in the world in terms of availability of fertile land space, low cost raw material and productive labour. The international buyers at this exhibition will get an opportunity to equip themselves with these inputs to gain edge over their competitors in the global markets, while enjoying economies of scale in their future businesses.

I wish Export Promotion Bureau the very best of luck in their high level of expertise and experience that has been able to draw productive and revolutionary conclusion for Pakistan's trade and industry in the form of Expo Pakistan.
