Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI) to partake in Jakarta Textile Expo as it would not only give a new potential market to Pakistan but also help in further enhancing their bilateral trade. It will also exploit its good offices to make it a total success, said President FCCI Engineer Rizwan Ashraf said while talking to Ambassador of Indonesia Burhan Muhammad during a special function held here on Tuesday.

Engineer Rizwan Ashraf welcomed the organization of first ever Jakarta Textile Expo 2015. He suggested that Indonesia should consider direct air-links between Faisalabad and Jakarta with one year multiple visa facility for traders on the recommendation of FCCI.

He told that China is already issuing one year multiple visas on the recommendation of FCCI and Indonesia should also adopt this system to enhance trade volume.

More than 100 leading companies from Asia and Africa would be participating in this Expo scheduled to be held from April 21 to 25.
