Pakistan hosted Textile Asia, the international textile and garment machinery show from March 28 to 30. The exhibition presented textile and garment machinery, accessories, raw material supplies, chemicals and allied services from local and international markets. It attracted businessmen looking for new solutions to bring more efficiency in their production systems.

The exhibition was aimed at upgrading and equipping the local textile sector with latest technologies being used internationally. Nearly 386 business delegates from 39 countries visited the exhibition. Around 515 international and 35 local companies showcased their brands. Of the 415 exhibitors in the show, China’s participation was almost 50 per cent.

Pakistan was eyeing business deals worth $700 million during the exhibition. The mega event had business to business meetings with local traders and foreign delegates. The participation of both local and foreign traders in the exhibition this year was unprecedented. Despite all odds and challenges Pakistan is working on a war footing to attract foreign investment.
