United Kingdom-Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UKPCCI) will jointly organise a “Made in Pakistan” Expo in Britain in October 2018 in order to promote Pakistani products in the local market.

The announcement emerged from a statement of UK-Pakistan CCI president Chaudhry Muhammad Sadeeq, who accompanied with a 10-member delegation visited Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The delegation was representing various sectors including chain of hospitality and restaurants, real estate, furniture, health, education, importers of rice, food products, livestock and halal meat.

According to Chaudhry Muhammad Sadeeq, Pakistani community wanted to see a progressive and prosperous Pakistan as they had extreme love for it.

He further said a 25-member delegation of UKPCCI was visiting Pakistan to attend Karachi Expo and exploring the market as Overseas Pakistani investors in UK were keen to explore opportunities of joint ventures and investment in various sectors of Pakistan’s economy.

After a useful meeting in Lahore and Karachi according to him the delegation members have also finalised business deals in Pakistan.

According to Kamran Khan General Secretary UKPCCI said that the purpose of their Chamber was to promote bilateral trade between Pakistan and UK. UKPCCI would also strive to bring more UK investors to Pakistan.
