[1]Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has asked the country’s industrial and services sectors to focus on conforming to international standards to achieve high exports and economic growth.
"We are living in an era where success of exports depends on the conformance to international standards because it plays a critical role in promoting and creating consumer confidence in products and thereby provides much needed stimulus for growth of our economy,” Associated Press of Pakistan quoted Gilani as saying.
“In the global markets productivity along with conformance to international standards determine and gives a competitive edge to the products," the Prime Minister said in his message on the occasion of World Standards Day being observed October 14. Pakistani exports hope to touch $25 billion in 2011.
