NANNING – Pakistan Ambassador to China, Moin-ul-Haque said on Sunday that Pakistani goods have a strong competitive force at the 18th China-ASEAN Expo especially the textile sector, which remains one of Pakistan’s flagship products.
“Pakistan has already opened the market of China and ASEAN. These years, Pakistan’s exports have recorded a new volume, exports to China are showing great momentum as well, and we hope that by the end of this year, we will have a new breakthrough,” he said in an interview with China Economic Net (CEN).
Pakistan is one of the few countries which have a complete ecosystem of textile, from weaving to dyeing, making garments and clothes. “Textile is our strongest sector, so you can see the products from home textile to ladies’ clothes are all showcased here,” Ambassador Haque said while referring to Pakistani stalls set up at the Expo.
He said that the food sector in Pakistan is very important. Pakistan is one of the largest leading countries in production of wheat, rice, sugarcane, cotton as essential raw materials, which have made it one of the most competitive countries in the region. Now, the government is focusing towards industrialisation to do value addition for these products.
