Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi will inaugurate this expo, a premier trade and business exhibition, that the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry, has been organising for 14 years in a row, before last year’s unavoidable break. Officials have been assigned duties to ensure the event is smoothly conducted.

Traders of Thailand, Egypt, Turkey and other countries, apart from other states of the country, are participating. Participation of Pakistan traders, however, remains uncertain as yet.
