The first-of-its-kind textile research centre in Pakistan would undertake research on modern fibres and their use in making yarn and fabric.

Speaking to reporters after the inauguration of the textile research centre, Mr. Shahabuddin said despite all odds, Pakistan has managed to increase its exports by 20 percent year-on-year.
He said the Government is well aware of the existing problems, including the gas crisis, and a number of steps were being taken to resolve the issue.
