The Pakistan garment manufacturers and Exporters Association (PRGMEA) asked the US government to allow Pakistan's textile products to enter the US market without tax, and to open up Pakistan's business to replace Pakistan's assistance.


This view is said by Mirza, President of the Pakistan garment garment manufacturers and Exporters Association.


Mirza said that because of the war of terror, Pakistan experienced severe economic conditions, which led to poverty rising again and setbacks for young people.

We should join hands in wage wars to get rid of poverty, ignorance, unemployment and corruption, which are the final result of the war on terror.


Mirza said, we thank the United States Agency for international development and the United States government for providing excellent vision projects for Pakistan's textile workers. These projects can lead to technological development and generate employment, so that young people can learn from the whole country how to get a noble life and make our trade and manufacturing sectors more efficient, instead of relying on foreign aid and loans.


Mirza said that the impact of these plans can be dramatically improved. If the United States allows Pakistan products to enter the US market without tax, the image of the United States as a friend of Pakistan will be enhanced.
