Pakistan’s engineering products need promotion in international market: Wajid

 

Pakistan’s High Commissioner to UK Mr. Wajid Shamsul Hasan has emphasized for exploring more venues in the international market for the fast growing engineering industry of Pakistan. He was visiting stalls of engineering companies of Pakistan at the Subcon show being held at National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, today.

 

Subcon is considered as biggest subcontracting event in the UK. After having a detailed look at the Precision Engineering Equipment from Pakistan the High Commissioner said that it was encouraging to see that Pakistan has achieved a very high level of sophistication in this field which calls for exploring more markets for these products. Precision equipment is used in automobile industry including tractors and trucks.

 

Mr. Hasan also emphasised for developing more linkages for the absorption of value added products from Pakistan in the international market rather than banking on traditional products only.

 

Ten companies were selected by Trade Development Authority of Pakistan to participate in the event but representatives of only five companies were granted visas. Pakistan will take up the issue, in the policy paper, for visa facilitation to business entrepreneurs for participation in events taking place in UK.
