Succesful opening IAF regional office in Pakistan
In Sialkot Pakistan, on September 27th IAF member PRGMEA, under the guidance of PRGMEA President and IAF Board Member Ijaz Khokhar and together with IAF President Han Bekke, opened both the new PRGMEA office and, inside of it, the first IAF regional office. Mr. Khokhar had organized a very large and successful event to bring the openings to the attention of the industry, the government and the press. The combination of a strong local organization with a strong international network through the IAF made a very good impression. In the days following the opening ceremony, PRGMEA and IAF (Han Bekke and Matthijs Crietee) visited together with Ijaz Khokhar a number of high ranking government officials of several Ministries including the Prime Minister’s office to discuss strategies for the further development of the Pakistani textile and garment industries.
