With the growing Chinese Pakistani Enterprises, it is anticipated that they will bring forth innovative ideas and strategies to revolutionize the e-Commerce sector in Pakistan,” he added.
Ghulam Qadir said that TEXPO 2023 will open up new opportunities for both Chinese and Pakistani businesses. It will also give a major boost to Pakistan’s e-commerce industry, which is currently dominated by international players.
With this event, Pakistanis can look forward to more competitive prices, better quality products, and improved customer services.
