Speaking at a meeting, the Consul General in Karachi Abu Bakar Mamat said the exhibition, organised by Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), was to enhance networking, business matching and to exchange ideas and knowledge amongst business communities from different countries.

“This exhibition will provide a perfect opportunity to Pakistani business community to examine Malaysian goods, improve business linkages and explore ways of how to further enhance trade between the two countries,” he added. The General revealed that 95 per cent export share of Malaysian palm oil to Pakistan has declined to just 55pc, according to KCCI’s press release.
