KARACHI: The Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) is gearing up to organise the third edition of the Canada-Pakistan Trade Expo 2014, starting from November 18 this year in Toronto.
The expo will be organised with the Trade and Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) and the Consulate General of Pakistan in Toronto.
The event is a continuation of efforts to promote Pakistani exporters and manufacturers in their attempt to tap the Canadian market, said FPCCI President Zakaria Usman.
He said leading businessmen from the commerce and industrial sectors would participate in the event, leaving a significant impact on the bilateral trade between the two countries.
FPCCI’s Pakistan Canada Business Council Chairman S M Muneer said Canada is a potential market for Pakistani products.
“The series of expo will provide an opportunity to explore new avenues for the promotion of Pakistan’s exports to Canada and the US,” said Muneer.
He added that the entire North America region would be available for Pakistan if it chooses to tap it as a market.
“The publicity campaign of the expo is being conducted in North America. Leading buyers and stores from Canada have also been invited to see Pakistan products on display.”
Special business to business meetings will also be arranged during the expo, Muneer added.
