Pakistan has competitive enough human resource and state-of-the-art infrastructure available in the industries to compete in the global market. Locally produced building materials, tiles, home décor, fixtures/fittings are at par with international standards which will expand the export base and generate foreign exchange for the country.
These views were expressed by the construction and designing experts at the inauguration of the 6th IAPEX Int'l Exhibition 2010 here in Expo Center Karachi. Experts said that esthetic design of locally produced goods like tiles, furniture and fixtures not only shows the hard work of the designers but also promote the art and rich culture of our country around the globe.
Alireza M Alladin, Managing Director, Shabbir Tiles, the main sponsor of the exhibition, said on the occasion that the mindset of people in Pakistan needs to be changed to have more faith in the locally manufactured goods rather than in imported material.
It is important for us to support the local industry to solve the biggest challenge of unemployment and improve the living standards of fellow countrymen. He said that it is also very important to construct a solid heritage for our future generations as what we build today will be the heritage of tomorrow and it should display our strength based on indigenous resources.-PR
