From the Chairman’s Desk Dear Members of PCMEA, It is with profound gratitude and humility that I accept the responsibility of serving as Chairman of the Pakistan Carpet Manufacturers & Exporters Association (Hand Woven Carpets). I am truly honored by the confidence placed in me by the Executive Committee of both zones, and I pledge to uphold this trust with sincerity and dedication. As I step into this role, I assure you of my unwavering commitment to the advancement of our industry. Our handmade carpet and rug sector is not just a cornerstone of our cultural heritage, but also a vital contributor to Pakistan’s economy. Together, we must work tirelessly to strengthen its global standing. At this critical juncture, our industry needs a unified voice — one that advocates for rightful support from the Government of Pakistan and pursues strategic efforts to reclaim our legitimate dues from the Government of India. Additionally, exploring new international markets and unlocking fresh avenues for export growth will remain at the heart of our efforts. Throughout my tenure, I will serve as a steadfast representative of your interests before government bodies and stakeholders. My leadership will be guided by the principles of transparency, inclusivity, and accountability, ensuring that every decision reflects the collective vision of our members. I extend my heartfelt good wishes to each one of you. Let us move forward in solidarity, determined to overcome challenges, harness opportunities, and elevate the Pakistani handmade carpet industry to unprecedented heights of excellence and global recognition. With your continued support, I am confident we can shape a promising and prosperous future for our artisans, exporters, and the generations to come. Warm regards, Mian Attiq-ur-Rehman Chairman, PCMEA
