I am delighted to support the 5th International Garment and Textile Machinery & Accessories Exhibition, scheduled to take place in Karachi. It is a matter of great pleasure for the Ministry and Board of Investment to see IGATEX exploring new avenues in business expansion within this part of the world by introducing newest technologies to the local market.
I am sure that the exhibition will foster Pakistan's international competitiveness, while contributing to the national economic and social development. The government is committed to attract foreign investment in the garment and textile sector in order to bring technological advancement in our manufacturing belt and to accelerate the process of privatisation.
Moreover, the favorable investment climate in Pakistan and the economic indicators leading to positive direction, encourage foreign participation in this diverse and multi-faceted industry of Pakistan.
On this auspicious occasion, I would like to extend my warm wishes and a very happy stay to all the participants, including all the exhibitors and visitors. I congratulate Pegasus Consultancy (Pvt) Ltd and CEMS, Singapore for successfully arranging such a mega event in Pakistan.
