We take this opportunity to invite you this fall to the 7th edition of "Expo Pakistan" from 04-07 October 2012 at Karachi Expo Centre. The event was first held in 2005 and over the years it has become the largest showcase of Pakistan's export merchandise and services. Every year the event is visited by a large number of buyers from across the world. Only in 2010, export orders worth US$ 80 million were placed during the show.

Despite all recent challenges, Pakistan's economy and exports have shown remarkable recovery and growth. The exports have been growing at a steady pace and have increased from US$ 17.69 billion in 2008-09 to US$ 19.3 billion in 2009-10 and in the 10 months of fiscal year 2010-11 (July to April) the exports have crossed US$ 20 billion mark. We are confident of reaching US$ 25 billion by the end of this fiscal year. This shows confidence of our buyers in the manufacturing and trading prowess of Pakistan, and it continues to grow.

Expo Pakistan is a thoroughfare to the true commercial and cultural diversity of Pakistani products and services. It provides, an opportunity to forge new alliances and business ventures. Geo-Commercially, Pakistan has emerged as an international hub for trade and commerce; it augurs well for structuring business relationships and investment opportunities.

This year's event is leveraged with a conference on "Foreign Investment Opportunities & Exports from Pakistan". The other side events will offer our valued guests an opportune moment to not only see first hand what Pakistan has to offer but also the learn about our people, customs, culture, arts and crafts that have a 5,000 year old history, tradition and richness of heritage.
