Pakistan will organize a single-country trade exhibition in Jeddah from Feb. 5-7 next year, an official of the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) said on Sunday, in which products from around 100 companies will be showcased as Islamabad eyes the Saudi market to boost its exports.
Islamabad and Riyadh have been working in recent months to increase bilateral trade and investment, and the Kingdom this year reaffirmed its commitment to expedite an investment package worth $5 billion for Pakistan.
Pakistani and Saudi businesses had signed 27 agreements and memorandums of understanding (MoUs) worth $2.2 billion in October. During Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s visit to the Kingdom last month, the two countries agreed to enhance that figure to $2.8 billion.
“Pakistan will organize a single-country exhibition from Feb. 5-7, 2025, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with the aim of increasing exports to the Kingdom,” Faisal Awan, TDAP’s deputy manager, told Arab News.
The TDAP will organize the exhibition, which Awan said would feature 100 Pakistani companies so they can “showcase their products directly to Saudi buyers in their own country.”
