Build most competitive supply chains in fashion: IAF

The two-day convention will be organised together by Pakistan Readymade Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association. The convention in Lahore will offer participants a unique opportunity to efficiently meet (potential) business partners in a safe environment.

"I visited Lahore Pakistan during April 8-12 to prepare for the 35^th IAF World Fashion convention there in Lahore. IAF’s Pakistani member association the Pakistan Ready Made Garment and Exporters Manufacturers Association (PRGMEA) was a great host and we were able to cover a lot of ground together, creating a strong conference program under the theme ‘Let’s Grow Together for a More Prosperous and Sustainable Future.’ In the coming weeks we will invite and secure our speakers and sponsors and we aim to open the registration for international delegates in May," IAF secretary general Mattthijs Crietee said during a press conference.

"The concept of the IAF convention is to travel the world and to give member associations, particularly of the main apparel countries in the world, the chance to host an IAF Convention. Pakistan, close to the top 10 exporter of apparel in the world and with a population of just over 200 million certainly fits the bill. In the light of geographical changes of apparel production, Pakistan’s apparel industry also now has the potential to grow fast. In any case, my experience in Lahore was a very positive one, feeling safe and seeing that a large group of foreigners from all over the world did too," explained Crietee. (RR)
