I am happy to note that the International Garment and Textile Machinery & Accessories Exhibition (IGATEX) has developed and gained global recognition.
Pakistan enjoys the reputation of a quantity manufacturer and exporter of textiles and clothing all over the world.
IGATEX Pakistan - 2006 will expose our exporters to the latest technological advancements around the world, facilitating selection of appropriate and best equipment to enhance their competitiveness. The participation of international players in the exhibition could also open avenues for mutually beneficial joint ventures with the leaders in this sector.
My government is fully committed to facilitate fruitful collaboration between Pakistani and foreign investors to expand our industrial base, generate employment and help strengthen the economy.
I welcome overseas exhibitors in IGATEX Pakistan - 2006 and wish them a fruitful visit and success in business initiatives. My appreciation also goes to the Pegasus Consultancy (Pvt) Ltd and CEMS, Singapore for undertaking this major venture and I wish them every success in this event.
