Pakistan to set up pavilions in Beijing

Offline and online pavilions will promote high-quality products

BEIJING:

Pakistan’s national pavilions (offline and online) will be established in Beijing and on famous Chinese social media platform TikTok to promote high-quality products in Chinese markets, said Pakistan’s Ambassador Moinul Haque.

He met with Lu Hongjun, President of the China Asian Economic Development Association’s Urban Cooperation Committee (Caeda-UCC) and appreciated Caeda’s proactive role in strengthening bilateral trade ties and promoting Pakistan’s high-quality products in the Chinese offline and online markets.

Expressing confidence, he said that the proposed Pakistan’s national pavilions in Beijing and on TikToK would serve as promising platforms for the promotion of trade linkages, business expansion, cultural promotion and people-to-people exchanges between the two sides.

The ambassador observed that trade between the two countries would expand fast in the coming years.

“China is already Pakistan’s largest trading partner. Last year, we had a record increase in Pakistan’s exports to China and agro-products, food products, leather and textile are now becoming very popular in China,” he added.

Haque highlighted that those platforms which had millions of followers in China and were being used very extensively for making purchases would be a very good initiative to further promote Pakistan’s products.

Haque and Lu signed the Letter of Cooperation to formally initiate the establishment of Pakistan’s national pavilions in China.

Lu praised the ambassador for his continuous support for setting up Pakistan’s national pavilions and promoting trade ties between the two countries.

He expressed the Caeda’s full commitment to completely establish the proposed pavilions at the earliest.
