After successfully organising a similar event in 2016 and 2017, the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) in association with the High Commission of Pakistan in Sri Lanka, is organising the ‘Pakistan Single Country Exhibition’ in Colombo, from January 12 to 14, 2018, for the third consecutive year.  


President Maithripala Sirisena will be the chief guest at the opening ceremony of the exhibition tomorrow.  


The Pakistan Single Country Exhibition aims to provide a platform to the Pakistani companies for showcasing their range of products and services to the Sri Lankan public and business community. 
The exhibition contributes to promote Pakistan-Sri Lanka economic relations by diversifying the existing trade patterns, hence introducing a wide range of quality Pakistani products in the Sri Lankan market with prominent business and trade sectors. 


The much-awaited exhibition is featuring leading Pakistani organisations and manufacturers of engineering products, auto parts, agro products, textile and clothing, designer wear, handicraft and traditional textiles, cosmetics and herbal products, pharmaceuticals, cutlery, gems and jewellery, furniture, carpets, marble and services. 


The High Commission of Pakistan in Sri Lanka for the first time during the exhibition is establishing a special dedicated stall on spectacular Gandhara & Buddhist Heritage of Pakistan, where people would be able to witness the splendid legacy of Pakistan. 


DVDs and leaflets containing a documentary, books and other material will be distributed free of cost among the public. The exhibition is expected to enhance trade links between the two nations to 
new heights.
