This also serves to cultivate a healthy competition in export performance, to encourage quality products, high standards and a firm commitment to improving productivity, harnessing new markets and meeting the international challenges among the exporters of Pakistan. These excellent performers must be encouraged and their services lauded for their dedication and hard work.
In the context of Pakistan and in the prevailing critical times the growth in exports is the only option for the recovery of the economy. There is an urgent need to bring about a fundamental change in our approach and attitude. There has to be a firm commitment from top to bottom which should be a shared objective of the entire nation, there is a need to pursue an integrated approach wherein public and private sector work as partners to facilitate and promote an export culture. I would like to offer heartily congratulations to all the winning exports and wish them the best for the future.
