KARACHI: Pakistani and American governments are trying to further boost economic ties and for this purpose, a Pak-American Trade Expo is being held at National Convention Center Washington DC, with slogan ‘Trade, not Aid’.
Vision Media Group LLC CEO Hassan Jalil, addressing a press briefing, said that the five-day Pak-American Trade Expo would be held from May 23-27, 2015, in which more than 200 Pakistani traders and industrialists would participate.
The event would particularly boost Pakistani culture, natural beauty and trade. It would comprise food court, live mega concert, and fashion show. He said the event is aimed at to further promote Pak-US trade ties.
Noted industrialist Mian Zahid Hussain said there is dire need to improve the soft image of Pakistan. It requires constant efforts to open the lucrative US market for the Pakistani products. He said due to terrorism and under-invoicing the image of Pakistan is hurt at global level and efforts are needed to salvage and improve it.
