A prominent delegation of the Pakistan Chemicals & Dyes Merchants Association (PCDMA), led by Chairman Salim Valimuhammad, engaged in high‑level talks with leading Chinese industrial figures during the InterDye 2026 exhibition in Shanghai, aimed at strengthening bilateral trade and industrial cooperation.

According to a press statement, the delegation also attended the Conference on “Trade Chemical Technology Innovation and International Trade Cooperation”. PCDMA Chairman Salim Valimuhammad, former chairman Mahmood Salam and member Abdul Rahim Khatri were among the keynote speakers besides Chinese speakers. Their presentations highlighted the scope of Pakistan’s dyestuffs industry, offering insights that captivated the audience and enhanced PCDMA’s image on the international stage. The conference was also attended by former vice chairman Nadeem Aftab, former president of Lahore office Kashif Raza, and Dr Mushtaq.

A milestone of the visit was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between PCDMA and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), the conference organizer. The agreement was signed by Salim Valimuhammad and Yuan Junjie, Chairman of CCPIT, marking a new chapter in institutional collaboration.

On the occasion, Mr. Valimuhammad said the partnership would not only benefit PCDMA but also contribute positively to the wider community and industry standards. “This achievement sets a precedent for ongoing cooperation and will foster stronger ties between our industries,” he remarked.

Both sides emphasized the importance of promoting InterDye as a key global platform for the dyes and chemicals industry, urging greater participation from stakeholders to unlock new opportunities for trade, innovation and networking.
