Carpet Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PCMEA) office-bearers stated on Sunday that the significant interest from buyers worldwide in participating in the 42nd World Exhibition of Handmade Carpets, organized in collaboration with the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan, is highly encouraging.
Chairing a PCMEA review meeting, Association’s Chairman Mian Atiq-ur-Rehman and Exhibition Chairman Riaz Ahmed mentioned that over 50 foreign buyers have registered thus far, with expectations exceeding 100. This international exhibition aims to secure new buyers for Pakistan’s handmade carpet industry, generate export orders, and further solidify its global position.
The meeting reviewed the preparations for the world exhibition, with Patron-in-Chief Abdul Latif Malik, Chairperson Carpet Training Institute Ijaz-ur-Rehman, Senior Member Usman Ashraf, and Saeed Khan, representatives from committees established for exhibition preparations, providing detailed updates.
Mian Atiq-ur-Rehman and Riaz Ahmed emphasized that Pakistani handmade carpets hold a prominent place in the global market due to their superior quality, unique designs, and modern aesthetics.
