Beijing: A “Pakistan National Pavilion” to be set up in Urumqi Comprehensive Bonded Zone (UCBZ), and Urumqi integrated pilot zone to display Pakistani products aimed at boosting imports from Pakistan.
Ma Xiaoyan, Chairman of UNI International Business said that Urumqi, capital city of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is Belt and Road Initiative’s core location, where Made-in-Pakistan items would attract Chinese and international consumers, added that the Pavilion opening ceremony is expected to be held in April 2021.
“We are working in Pakistan for the last 15 years and providing local value-added service on consulting and trading with Chinese companies and local Pakistani enterprises in the sector of agricultural, power transmission, power generation, industrial projects, mine and mineral projects, and CPEC infrastructure projects,” he told media.
He further said that the implementation of the 2nd phase of China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement (CPFTA) has allowed Pakistani products on zero duty to the Chinese market, and the pavilion facility would offer Pakistani traders an opportunity to market their products here.
“In 2019, we purposely imported more than 10 tons of Pakistan fresh mangoes and did sales promotion in different Chinese cities like Urumqi, Guangzhou and Chengdu, where we received a perfect response,” Ma added. – Agencies
