The exhibition offers a platform for Pakistani businesses to present their high-quality products to the Omani market, as well as explore investment opportunities in Oman.
The expo is expected to facilitate direct interactions between Omani and Pakistani businesses, fostering partnerships and collaborations for the future.
Speakers highlighted that while Pakistan and Oman share cordial relations, the current trade volume does not reflect the full potential of economic cooperation between the two countries.
As Oman seeks to diversify its economy beyond oil, and Pakistan looks to expand its export base, both nations see significant room for growth in trade.
