KARACHI: The President of Kadin Karachi, the Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s business platform, Muhammad Reihan Hanif, welcomed an Indonesian business delegation ahead of the International Consumer Product Fair 2025, officials said.
The delegation introduced a range of their featured products to Kadin members, providing an opportunity for local businesses to familiarize themselves with Indonesia’s commercial offerings and explore potential avenues for collaboration. During the session, delegates highlighted key product lines, emphasizing quality, innovation, and market readiness.
Business representatives from Karachi engaged with the visitors, discussing market preferences, distribution possibilities, and consumer demand, setting the stage for further dialogue on trade and investment opportunities. Officials noted that the engagement was designed as a precursor to a series of B2B meetings scheduled to take place during the International Consumer Product Fair, running from 11 to 14 December 2025.
These meetings are expected to formalize partnerships, facilitate commercial agreements, and strengthen bilateral business ties between Pakistani and Indonesian companies. Analysts said such initiatives reflect a growing trend of proactive trade diplomacy, where business chambers and industry associations serve as bridges between international exporters and local markets.
By providing a platform for direct interaction, Kadin Karachi aims to support local entrepreneurs in identifying high-potential products and fostering sustainable commercial collaborations that can benefit both Pakistani and Indonesian businesses. The event also underscores the importance of trade fairs as a vehicle for knowledge exchange, networking, and market expansion in the South Asian commercial landscape.
