LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has given the approval in principle for building Pakistan’s largest expo centre in Faisalabad.

The decision in this regard was taken in a high-level session chaired by CM Buzdar to review the progress on special economic zones (SEZs) in Punjab.

As per details, the state-of-art expo centre will be built in Faisalabad to facilitate industrialists and foreign investors. Later, an expo centre will also be constructed in Sialkot city.

Speaking at the occasion, Buzdar revealed said that a surgical city will also be established in Sialkot for increasing exports and that the provincial government will start work on the Aqua Park project in Chunian soon.
