Pak-US Expo 2006
New Jersey: A grand
exposition of Pakistani products and services, which will
include a fashion show and a musical extravaganza, is being
organized by a New Jersey based business group ‘Mamosa.’
Called the Pak-US Expo 2006, the trade-cum-cultural exposition
is scheduled for May 31 thru June 4, 2006, and promises
to be an extremely grand presentation of Pakistan’s
traditional and growing trade, economic ties with the United
States.
More details of the expo are available at its website: http://www.pakusexpo.com
Post 9/11, Pakistan and USA became close allies in the war
against terrorism, leading to growing opportunities for
both the countries in several areas. Over the years, several
new Pakistani products and services have emerged and need
to be effectively presented for export to the movers and
shakers of the United States’ buying and consumer
industry, says the group President r Irshad Salim.
For example, along with textile, leather, sports goods,
marble, new and robustly emerging exportable goods and services
like engineered products and services, Research & Development,
IT, Publishing, BPOs, Call Centers, Fashion, are yet to
be aggressively marketed in the United States, says Mr.
Salim
Along with that, there is also a need to present Pakistan’s
social, cultural, fashion and entertainment industries which
are growing faster than one could imagine and need to be
brought in sync with world standards and high demands, adds
Salim.
The Pak-US Expo 2006, will be held at the NJ Exposition
Center, also called The Raritan Expo, centrally located
in New Jersey, USA. The exhibitors will be provided two
days to se up their booths and prepare their exhibits for
the expo.
A food exhibition on the last day of the Expo is also being
contemplated but has not been finalized yet, says Mr. Salim.
Efforts are also being made to invite prominent Pakistani
personalities to the Expo. “We shall be approaching
President Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz to attend
the show, but lets’s see if we can succeed in that
or not,” says Mr. Irshad Salim.
