The business exhibition consists of six areas food and agricultural products, automobile, intelligent industry and information technology, consumer goods, medical equipment, and healthcare products, and trade in services.
The fifth China International Import Expo (CIIE) will take place from Nov 5 to 10 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai).
An Online National Pavilion featuring Pakistan’s trade exchanges, investment environment, characteristic industries, and tourism was launched for the upcoming event. Pakistan is one of the major contributors to the global market when it comes to agriculture, textile, footwear, pharmaceutical, sports goods, packaging, iron & steel. “Using this platform, we are working together to expand our trade with China and with the world,” Ambassador Moin-ul-Haque pinpointed, adding that China is already Pakistan’s largest trading partner and last year the bilateral trade volume hit a record level.
Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) said the cloud pavilion will showcase Pakistan as an emerging market of thriving opportunity. A total of 30 countries have taken part in the online country exhibition which is now in trial operation, said Sun Chenghai, deputy director-general of China International Import Expo Bureau, adding that the platform is set to offer a visiting experience comparable to that of an offline exhibition.
Pakistan enjoys a large pool workforce of more than 60 million, and a growing consumer teledensity of more than 150 million, said TDAP.
