Pakistani and Chinese enterprises have expressed their intention to cooperate in the deep processing of potato starch at an online business-matching meeting jointly held by the Ruzhou International Trade Enterprise Association and the trade mission of the Embassy of Pakistan, Beijing.

“On the occasion, our enterprises have agreed to import 100 tons of potato starch from Pakistan as we need the product locally. And this is the first step of cooperation,” said Huang Jianle, Secretary-General of the Ruzhou International Trade Association, a trade body based in China’s central province of Henan, in a written interview with China Economic Net.

According to Jianle, enterprises from both countries have also shown a keen interest in collaborating on textile products.

As a powerhouse for embroidery products in China, Ruzhou is home to the Ruzhou Embroidery Industrial Park, which has provided high-quality embroidery products since its inception in 2015. In July this year, Pakistan’s Ambassador to China Moinul Haque visited Ruzhou, where he expressed a desire for companies from both countries to strengthen cooperation in agriculture and embroidery.
