LAHORE: The Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) would provide all-out assistance to Pakistan Carpet Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PCMEA) to promote the carpet industry at the national and international level.
Mian Riaz Ahmed, director general of TDAP Lahore, expressed these views while addressing the members of PCMEA during a meeting at PCMEA. He said that with the feedback of associations TDAP would try to evolve a strategy to find an amicable solution to their problems. The director general asked PCMEA to propose a delegation to Europe for the marketing of a carpet exhibition to be held in Lahore in October this year. “Upon request of the PCMEA, the DG agreed to carpet exhibition publicity through foreign missions. “We, at TDAP, will try to get this proposal implemented so that the exhibition is better projected and foreign buyers can it,” he said. PCMEA claimed that due to the poor image of the country abroad, foreign buyers’ were reluctant to come to Pakistan.
To a reply, the DG said that TDAP would extend cooperation and all out assistance to depict softer image of the country so that export related activities could flourish and subsequently add to the country’s exports.
