KARACHI: 15, OCTOBER, 2021: The 35th Lifestyle Furniture Exhibition opened in Karachi on Friday.
According to sources, Sindh Governor Imran Ismail inaugurated the three-day exhibition in two halls of the Karachi Expo Centre.
Speaking on the occasion, the governor said "Our furniture industry has developed significantly, compared with the past. [The] PTI government is striving to address the basic problems of the industrial sector on priority."

He praised the event organizers for holding such a great exhibition in the tough situation due to pandemic.
Ismail said "It is our responsibility to give our 100 per cent for the development and betterment of Karachi, which is the economical hub of the country."
On the occasion, Governor was apprised by Lifestyle Furniture Exhibition director Zara Faisal about the exhibitions held across the country, saying "We are trying to promote locally-manufactured furniture. We are holding this high-level event with the cooperation of [the] federal and provincial governments to introduce big brands of furniture."
Sources informed that more than 50 exhibitors are showcasing their great works, while the exhibition attracted a large number of visitors with best deals and discount offers.
