BEIJING, July 1 (APP): Pakistani exhibitors showcased copper, jewelry, jade, handmade carpets and other products at the 8th China-Eurasia Expo held in Xinjiang, China.
Abbas Muhammad, a Pakistani jeweler who has lived in Xinjiang for 20 years, told the local media that his participation in the China-Eurasia Expo would bring benefits to his business.
Abbas has two companies, one in Pakistan and the other in China, primarily dealing in jewelry, jade, and other items. Among these, emeralds and other gems from Pakistan are highly sought after by Chinese consumers.
At the expo, he was busy attending to the customers and sold over RMB 100,000 worth of products in the past few days.
There were some new faces at the expo. Faisal Rasheed, a Pakistani handmade carpet merchant, came to Xinjiang from Beijing to participate in the expo.
He said that he believed the Pakistani goods would be successful in China, which was a huge market.
Pakistani merchants have been participating in the China-Eurasia Expo for several consecutive years. The diverse range of exhibits from around the world has embarked on a journey along the Silk Road to converge at the expo.
Exhibitors expressed their hope to integrate more effectively into the Chinese market through Xinjiang, a gateway open to the West.
Themed “New Opportunities of Silk Road, New Vitality for Eurasian Cooperation,” the expo concluded on Sunday. It drew over 1,900 participants from 50 countries, regions, and international organizations, showcasing over 6,000 varieties of products.
The vibrant atmosphere of the exhibition highlights the broad prospects of win-win cooperation between Asian and European countries, indicating new opportunities for high-quality BRI (Belt and Road Initiative) cooperation and common development.
