We are yet to tap the potential opportunity of having visible preference in international export markets. It needs dedicated efforts of public & private sectors and diversification of exports through improved quality and competitiveness. I believe that manufacturers and exporters in this country constitute a dynamic community. They have enormously contributed to the country and its economy and have the capacity to cover the lag. The FPCCI awards are a tribute to their effort. I would like to stress upon everyone associated with the activity - "let us learn from history and keep pace with the world".
The Export Award Souvenir is an innovation and FPCCI deserves appreciation for this. I wish the Federation every success in its endeavours for the promotion of trade, commerce and industry in Pakistan. I congratulate President, FPCCI and his team for their devotion and sincere efforts to promote exports and organise the 36th Export Awards Ceremony.
