With strong institutional support from TDAP and other stakeholders, he believes the event will achieve remarkable results.
The chairman explained that the main goal of the carpet exhibition is to showcase Pakistan’s craftsmanship on the global stage. Both traditional and modern designs will be displayed, highlighting the country’s cultural heritage and innovation. He emphasized that the exhibition is not just about trade but also about building long-term partnerships with international buyers.
According to him, the event will act as a living museum of quality carpets, reflecting superior skills and creative artistry. It will also give industry leaders valuable insights into emerging global trends. Ahmed added that India’s decision to arrange a similar event underscores Pakistan’s growing competitiveness in the international market.
The upcoming carpet exhibition is expected to draw significant attention from foreign buyers and investors. Organizers are optimistic that the event will support export growth, create new opportunities for artisans, and contribute to Pakistan’s economy through increased foreign exchange earnings.
