Pakistan has made a significant foray into the global automobile market, marking a historic moment as it exported a batch of 14 SUV vehicles to Kenya and Tanzania, as reported by ARY News on Thursday.
In a landmark achievement, Pakistan, through the collaboration of Master Changan Motors, a joint venture between Pakistan and China, has officially joined the league of car-exporting nations. This endeavour has solidified their position as the first automotive company to send SUV vehicles to foreign shores.
The occasion was celebrated with a ceremonial event held in Karachi, commemorating the milestone of becoming the inaugural Pakistani-Chinese auto entity to export vehicles to two overseas destinations. Notably, the ceremony was attended by the Federal Secretary of Industries and Production, Asad Rehman.
