Govt to hold bigger handicraft expos to boost sales: Mufti

SRINAGAR:
Urging foreign delegates of 6th International Buyer-Seller Meet to be the ambassadors of Jammu and Kashmir, Chief Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed today said his Government plans to hold handicraft and industrial exhibitions on a much larger scale in future.
Mr Sayeed said this while interacting with foreign delegates here. Business delegates from as many as 21 countries including the United States, UK, Egypt, Palestine, Tunisia, France, Turkey, Germany and Indonesia are participating in the meet. Mr Sayeed assured that exhibitions on much larger scale, in collaboration with KCC&I and other stakeholders in industrial and handicraft sector, will be planned in future where foreign buyers will be able to see a greater variety of exquisite handicraft items made in Kashmir.
Calling upon overseas buyers to be J&K’s messengers in their own countries, the Chief Minister said the Government was taking several steps to market Kashmir’s handicraft.  “When you see things for yourselves, the perception changes automatically. Kashmir is a treasure trove of handicraft, heritage and natural beauty. I hope that you will love to visit this place again,” he said while asking the delegates to also enjoy Kashmir’s riveting beauty. (AGENCIES)
