The COP27 is taking place at a time when millions of people in Pakistan, and millions more in other parts of the world, are facing severe adverse impacts of climate change, the Foreign Office Spokesperson said in a related press release.
Pakistani Consul General in Shanghai Hussain Haider said that the fifth China International Import Expo (CIIE), being held in Shanghai from Nov 5 to Nov 10, provides Pakistani companies with a highly effective platform to display their products and to attract more customers, which will increase Pakistan’s exports to China.
Pakistan participated in the opening ceremony of the 5th China International Import Expo (5th CIIE 2022) being held in Shanghai on 5-10 November 2022. The CIIE is the largest and the most important import themed expo in China and in the world. Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a speech via video during the opening ceremony. Secretary Ministry of Commerce of Pakistan represented Pakistan in the opening ceremony. Comprised of national and business exhibitions and various supporting activities and forums, the expo is viewed as a window for countries to showcase their local high quality products, characteristics and cultures.
Owing to prevailing pandemic situation, the country exhibition is being held online again this year, where Pakistan has also set up National Pavilion. Six Pakistani companies based in China related to handicrafts, jewelry, sports goods and garments and textile sectors are participating in the Expo.
The Consul General in Shanghai visited the booth of Pakistani companies at the expo and interacted with each of them. Most of the participating companies have also previously participated in the Expo and were very satisfied with their participation and the outcome and the response received for their products during the Expo.
