Pakistan will take part in 13 trade shows in China from 2022 to 2023. According to the Trade Development Authority Pakistan's (TDAP) Annual Business Plan (ABP), Pakistani representatives would attend exhibitions and fairs in various Chinese cities during this time, including officials, experts, importers, and exporters.
Pakistan aspired to attend the BRICS outreach event for emerging economies that was joined by Algeria, Argentina, Cambodia, Egypt, Ethiopia, Fiji, Indonesia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Senegal, Uzbekistan, Malaysia and Thailand. However, India through swift and deft diplomacy blocked Pakistan from the event. Reportedly, China being the chair of the event, agreed to India in keeping its ‘all-weather ally’ out from the event.
