CHANDIGARH: Aiming at a fast thaw in Indo-Pakistan relations with exchange of trade between the two countries, the second edition of 'Made in Pakistan' started on Friday. Residents had a look at Pakistani products like textile garments, leather products, glassware, cosmetic jewellery and handicraft. Traders from Pakistan said they had been receiving a good response in India. Many customers from here had booked orders on the telephone, they said. The fair presents an exclusive range of products from almost all regions of Pakistan including garments and embroidered fabric from Multan, Karachi and Lahore, ethnic footwear from Lahore and Multan, exclusive handicraft from Swat Peshawar, range of shimmering decor products from Karachi, carved rosewood furniture from Peshawar, designer melamine from Gujranwala and rich dry fruits and onyx. More than 48 exhibitors from Pakistan have displayed a wide array of products at 60 stalls as compared to 43 last time in Chandigarh.
Warda Irfan, a woman trader from Lahore, said she had participated in the exhibition's last edition too. She has been getting orders from Indian customers. 'Lahori and Multani dupattas with heavy embroidery are appreciated by Indian customers. Our dresses and traditional cultures are the same; trade may be helpful for both countries. It could help people of both countries get to know a lot about cultures of both nations,' she added.
