FAISALABAD, Aug 17 (APP):Prime Minister’s Coordinator to Commerce & Industries Rana Ehsan Afzal has said that the federal government is committed to promoting exports and strengthening national economy.
He expressed these views while talking to the media during his visit to Pakistan Lifestyle Furniture Expo on its concluding day, organised at a local marquee on West Canal Road Faisalabad.

He said that around 60 to 70 suppliers and manufacturers from across the country participated in the expo and showcased high-quality furniture and export-oriented products.
