ISLAMABAD: A 25-member delegation of the Pakistan Furniture Council (PFC) left for Turkey on Saturday to participate in the six-day “Modef Fair” for exploring investment avenues in Turkish markets in order to enhance furniture exports and strengthen bilateral trade between the two countries.

Seeing off the delegation at the Benazir Bhutto International Airport, PFC chief Mian Kashif Ashfaq said Turkey was the gateway to Europe and access to Turkish markets could provide huge opportunities for Pakistan exporters to market their products in EU countries including handmade furniture, which was in great demand globally, in collaboration with Turkish companies.
