The Federal Textile Minister, Mr Rana Farooq Saeed Khan said on Wednesday that the export target of US 25 billion announced in the just declared textile policy would be achieved in the next five years.
Rana Farooq Saeed Khan also said that the textile industry was an important sector of the economy in the country and if the sector was given a proper boost, it could provide sufficient jobs for the people.
The textile sector was now getting electricity to function smoothly, but any problems related to load shedding would be sorted out by December this year and the sector would also get un-interrupted supply of gas in winter season, he said.
He said that President Zardari, during his visits to USA and Europe, had discussed market access for Pakistani textile products in their respective markets and those visits would help improve the economy of the country and trade.
