The Pakistan National Pavilion was officially inaugurated at the 2024 China International Fair Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing on September 13, marking another joint effort made by China and Pakistan to showcase investment opportunities in Pakistan and further promote bilateral trade.
As chief guest of the event, Pakistani Ambassador to China Khalil Hashmi stressed the importance of the pavilion in providing business opportunities to Pakistani stakeholders.
“As one of the major fairs for China’s opening up to the world, thousands of enterprises have come here every year. This also highlights the unique appeal and attraction of Beijing as a capital city—one that draws in talent, capital, and good management practices. By bringing these elements together, the CIFTIS creates a significant impact and adds more value,” the envoy said.
At this year’s CIFTIS, around 80 countries and international organizations set up exhibitions and held conferences, and more than 450 Fortune 500 companies and industry leaders participated in the offline exhibition.
To fully take advantage of the business event, the Pakistani embassy has, for the first time, directly reached out to the business community of Pakistan and encouraged them to participate in the exhibition. As a result, more than 15 exhibitors have come from Pakistan to have their debuts on the occasion.
