Commerce minister, Khurram Dastagir, said the event would help exporters establish relationships with international partners and explore new business avenues. He said funding of around $8.5 million would be available to help leather-sector companies in Pakistan develop their business in overseas markets in coming years, with the money coming from the Pakistan Export Development Fund.
