ISLAMABAD:
A 25-member delegation of the Pakistan Furniture Council (PFC) will participate in international exhibition Texworld USA. The expo would be held in September, which would help in exploring new markets and strengthening trade ties with the American business community, said PFC Chairman Mian Kashif Ashfaq, while chairing a meeting of furniture exporters at PFC headquarters on Friday. He said Pakistani furniture exporters would avail the opportunity to study latest designs of products and modern technologies in their fields in order to improve their business and compete effectively in global markets. He said such business-oriented tours could play a pivotal role in achieving the furniture export target of more than $1 billion annually. Ashfaq said Pakistan’s major buyers of wooden furniture were Britain, the US, Sri Lanka and Gulf countries like the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Oman and Kuwait.
