NEW YORK: Pakistan is using one of North America’s largest textile sourcing exhibitions to strengthen its position in the US market as exporters confront new American tariffs and rising production costs amid growing regional competition.
The Pakistan Pavilion at Texworld New York City 2026 opened on Wednesday at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Centre, where five manufacturers are showcasing home textiles, apparel, leather garments, sportswear, gloves and other value-added products for buyers from across the US and overseas.
Organised by the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) in collaboration with the Trade and Investment Wing of Pakistan’s Consulate General in New York, the pavilion showcases A1 Infinity, MRI Group, Hometex Corporation, Ruqi Sports and Niza Sports.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Pakistan’s Ambassador to the US, Rizwan Saeed Sheikh, described the textile sector as “the backbone of Pakistan’s export economy” and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to expanding exports and to strengthening commercial ties with the US.
