The International Industrial Expo will host stalls from leading Pakistani and global companies, along with active participation from chambers of commerce across the country. International exhibitors from China, Turkiye, Iran, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Bangladesh, and other nations are expected to showcase their products and brands.
