Pakistan is ready to offer better market access to French products on reciprocal basis in the textile quota free world, said Humayun Akhtar Khan, the commerce minister, Friday.
This was conveyed to Guillaumet Sarkozy, President of the Union of French Textile Industry, and Bernard Leilievre, president of the French Apparel Association when they called on the minister.
Stating that the nation’s middle class had growing purchasing power that would provide better access for French products, he added that Pakistan and France would complement each other in this sector.
“We will reduce our duties. But, France should also reduce duties on Pakistan products,” Khan said.
Sarkozy, on his first visit to Pakistan expressed surprise on learning about the range of products and their quality and modern textile factories.
The minister also sought French expertise in fashion designing particularly in garments for design training institutes in Pakistan.
The French Apparel Association offered its expertise in upgrading knowledge and training facilities at fashion designing institutes in Pakistan. |
