The two sides discussed organising activities under the memorandum of understanding (MoU) between BKMEA and the Pakistan Hosiery Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PHMA), alongside arranging joint B2B meetings to facilitate direct business linkages between companies of the two countries.

Mohammad Hatem invited Pakistani companies to participate in the Bangladesh International Textile, Knitting and Garment Industry Exhibition, scheduled to be held in Dhaka in January 2027.

Participation in the exhibition would provide an opportunity to further develop supply-chain synergies and expand commercial links between businesses of Bangladesh and Pakistan, he added.

High Commissioner Imran Haider assured the BKMEA president of all possible cooperation to enhance bilateral trade and commercial collaboration, reports BSS.
