The International Apparel Federation office (IAF) opened its office in Pakistan on September 27. The office was inaugurated by IAF President Han Bekke and Secretary General Matthijs Crietee.
The IAF office has been housed at the Pakistan Readymade Garments Manufacturers and Exporters Association (PRGMEA) building in Sialkot.
The presence of the IAF will pave the way for Pakistan’s textile industry. The country will now have more access to global buyers and major brands.
Additionally, the office will also provide a platform for B2B interactions for apparel importers and exporters across the world.
PRGMEA Central Chairman Ijaz Khokhar is hopeful that IAF will raise important issues such as compliance, gender training and exchanges of delegations being faced by Pakistani textile industry.
On the occasion, the PRGMEA also inked an agreement with the National Fashion & Textile Association Netherlands (MODINT), the largest importers association of home textile, garments and textile.
The signing of the MoU will help Pakistan to increase its textile exports to the Netherlands.
