“At the moment, the focus of business personalities and companies around the world is on the UAE. It is playing an important role in providing capital and companies to experts in any field and I believe presenting in UAE and getting recognition would help Pakistan to move bigger markets such as Europe and America. UAE is becoming an economic hub for the world along with a modern lifestyle. It is paying attention to the world with its best policies and arrangements. This is becoming a major reason for Pakistan’s growth. In October, Jitex, the largest technology event in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, Pakistan was awarded the title of International Tech Destination. In the coming days, the biggest food exhibition in Dubai is going to be held in which dozens of companies from Pakistan’s food industry are participating”, explained Ambassador Tirmizi while responding to the question of how could Pakistani products reach international markets.
