Disclosing this here, PHDCCI (Punjab Committee) Chairman, Mr Rajiv Bali said on Monday that Amritsar district administratio n had assured all security arrangements for the five day expo.

PITEX 08, the International Trade Expo being organized by PHD Chamber is a step through which, the two countries, India and Pakistan, trading with each other can make an effort to avoid conflicts in order not to suffer such a loss in the same way as Chin a and Japan have shown they can have good trade relations despite having differences over important political issues, he said.

Better trade relations would make all South Asian countries more competitive in an increasingly globalised economic scenario, even in the testing times of the global economic meltdown, he said. The exhibition shall be in the same momentum and assured pro tection and security to the visitors.

The business community from Pakistan, participating for the third consecutive event, is a testimony to the fact that the business community on both sides of the border is rapidly acknowledging the fact that the two countries cannot live in isolation as f ar as bilateral trade is concerned, Bali said in a statement here. - PTI
