Over 100 leading local companies and interior designers will display their products, while up to 250,000 people are expected to visit this mega exhibition, he said.
These delegations are visiting Pakistan on the invitation of PFC Chief Executive Mian Kashif Ashfaq, who will bear their all expenses, including boarding, lodging, and transportation and travelling.
