On 13th April, ITPO Italy also arranged a meeting with H.E. the Italian Ambassador to Pakistan, Mr. Stefano Pontecorvo, and the Commercial Attaché, Mr. Roberto Puddu. The delegates presented their import business experience with Pakistan to the Italian Ambassador and the Commercial Attaché, stressing the need of in-state advanced technologies and the importance of increasing the exports of Italian machineries to Pakistan, so as to allow local manufacturers to create value-added textile products exportable towards Italy and other EU markets. 

In this framework, UNIDO ITPO Italy acted as a honest broker,  promoting the dialogue between Italian companies and the Pakistani counterpart to create effective strategic partnerships at trade and industrial level in the aforementioned sectors.
