Talking to the media, he said international experts and guests were arriving in Lahore to participate in the event. He said that country was doing exports of $30 billion and all-out efforts were being made to increase the export figure up to $60 billion. He said there was business-friendly atmosphere in the country, adding that the purpose of organising the show was to provide one platform to national and international traders so that they could come here and witness for themselves the quality of Pakistani products. He said that such events always help project country’s soft image at global level besides boosting its exports. He said that elements which were involved in carrying out negative propaganda against Pakistan should see that peaceful economic activities were ongoing in the country.
