PCMEA Reschedules International Carpet Exhibition to Accommodate European Buyers

The Pakistan Carpet Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PCMEA) has made the decision to reschedule the 40th International Carpet Exhibition in response to the requests of European buyers. Originally planned for October 12 to 14, the exhibition will now be held from October 3 to 5 at a local hotel in Lahore. This change was initiated based on feedback received from European buyers, with whom the Association has been actively communicating.

Usman Ashraf, the Senior Vice Chairman of the PCMEA, highlighted the importance of this decision, emphasizing the significance of aligning with the needs of international buyers. The Association has notified foreign buyers and relevant authorities, including the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), about the new dates. Preparations are already in progress to ensure a successful and productive event.

The rescheduled exhibition aims to showcase Pakistan's handwoven carpet industry to a global audience, with a focus on fostering export opportunities and generating foreign exchange through potential deals. The PCMEA is optimistic about the positive impact this event will have on the industry, foreseeing not only economic benefits but also job creation within the country.

The rescheduling of the International Carpet Exhibition by the PCMEA demonstrates a proactive approach to meeting the needs of international buyers and promoting Pakistan's carpet industry on a global scale. By accommodating the requests of European buyers and ensuring a welcoming environment for all participants, the Association is paving the way for a successful event that is poised to benefit both the industry and the economy of Pakistan.
