Omer Soba, the worthy High Commissioner of Kenya paid
a formal visit to the industrial exhibition on 10th of March, 2004. He
was offered a rousing reception by the members of GCCI and the management
of the industrial exhibition. After exchange of formal greetings, he visited
all the stalls along with the members of the delegation. He was greatly
impressed by seeing different items on display manufactured locally. He
not only appreciated the quality and standard of the different products
but also acknowledged the matchless skills of the workers. He made it
clear that Made in Gujranwala industrial exhibition is undoubtedly playing
a significant role in introducing the Pakistani products to the rest of
the countries of Africa, South Asia even Europe and
America.
