NANAN:
“It is the very first time for our company to trade with Pakistani marble traders,” said Fang Zihua, General Manager of Xiamen Stone Trading Company, adding that Chinese clients were more than satisfied with the stone texture and that they were willing to import more products from Pakistan.

According to Zihua, the batch of about 150 tons of Pakistani marble was shipped into six standard containers. “The color of this marble board is very beautiful, and its texture is unique. It looks like reddish waves being motivated,” said the general manager, who was so delighted to see the pattern that he named the marble “Red Valley”.

He mentioned that the texture and colour of marble are full of changes, and a reddish one is rare. At present, China is the largest marble importer from Pakistan, with annual imports reaching over 100,000 tons.
