Pakistan Pavilion Showcases Traditional Brass Crafts at China’s Yiwu Import Fair
Independent report
ISLAMABAD, November 13: The Pakistan National Pavilion is attracting considerable attention at the 2026 China Yiwu Imported Commodities Fair, which opened on November 13 at the Yiwu International Expo Center and will continue until November 15, showcasing Pakistan’s traditional brass craftsmanship alongside a variety of other products.
The fair covers an exhibition area of 40,000 square metres, featuring 1,660 international-standard booths and nearly 800 exhibitors from 69 countries and regions.
The exhibition comprises four themed halls featuring imported consumer goods, food and beverages, coffee and wine, apparel and accessories, as well as cross-border e-commerce and international trade services.
It has also brought together 160 exhibitors from previous China International Import Expos, alongside national pavilions representing the United Kingdom, Germany, Vietnam, Nepal, Pakistan, Serbia, Bulgaria and Greece.
The Pakistan National Pavilion is displaying a range of traditional products, including brass ornaments crafted in various animal shapes, brass vases, onyx ornaments and jewellery.
Particular attention is being given to Pakistan’s traditional brass craftsmanship, highlighting an intricate process through which a single sheet of brass is transformed into a family heirloom through five stages of handwork and tens of thousands of hammer strikes in traditional workshops.
Beyond the ongoing exhibition, a permanent Pakistan National Pavilion was established in Yiwu in 2019 to promote Pakistani traditional and exportable products, showcase the country’s culture and strengthen bilateral trade relations.
Operated by Eman Logistics Co. Ltd., the permanent pavilion primarily features Pakistani food products, handmade carpets, handicrafts, clothing and jewellery.
