| After successfully conducting the Indo-Pak trade fair at Amritsar recently, Sushma Berlia, who is also the chairperson of PHD Chamber of Commerce & Industry (PHDCCI) said a similar fair would be organised at Lahore very soon. |
| A delegation of the PHDCCI has gone to Pakistan to have discussions with the Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry for conducting the Indo-Pak trade fair at Lahore. Very soon, a date for the same would be announced, Berlia added. |
| She said the response to the Indo-Pak trade fair held at Amritsar had been luke-warm, since it was the beginning of a new chapter and Pakistani traders had faced some problems in obtaining a visa, but this time such problems would be looked after. |
