Our country has achieved and exceeded the export target for 2003-2004, a record level of US $12.1 billion that has added more value and significant to this event. Expo Pakistan 2005 is one of the major initiatives, taken by the Export Promotion Bureau for the promotion of Pakistan's exports world-wide.
We are targeting the participation of about 1,000 reputed importers from the world, heads of chain stores, opinion leaders and important overseas buyers. Expo will serve as a global marketplace for direct interaction between the international buyers and Pakistani exporters.
Expo Pakistan is the first of its kind in Pakistan, showcasing our export strength to the large international investors in order to overcome our weaknesses, while using the best of the opportunities available.
The way this event is gaining recognition all over the globe with every passing day from its inception, I am very confident about the results that it will bring for our industry and economy.
I wish, this event will explore new and productive venues for our exports.
