The Pakistan Tanners’ Association believes a new partnership with the China Leather Industry Association can help it increase exports by almost six times between now and 2030.

The main leather industry bodies for China and Pakistan formally signed a new memorandum of understanding at the 2024 All China Leather Exhibition (ACLE) in Shanghai in September.

The chairman of the China Leather Industry Association (CLIA), Li Yuzhong, and his counterpart at the Pakistan Tanners’ Association (PTA), Khawaja Muhammad Mehr Ali, were on hand to formalise the links between the two countries’ leather sectors. “What we want,” Mr Li says of this development, “is to create a better future together.”
