Pakistan and China have shared a strong economic relationship for decades. From CPEC to growing trade partnerships, both countries keep finding new ways to do business together. For Pakistani importers, though, one problem has never really gone away. You still have to fly to China to find the right manufacturer, inspect products, and negotiate deals. That costs time, money, and energy that most small and medium businesses simply cannot afford to spend repeatedly.
OZ Developers has decided to change that. Their newly signed partnership with Huashu International Trading (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. marks the beginning of something Pakistan has never seen before. A permanent China Exhibition Centre operating year-round inside Bahria Sky, Bahria Orchard Phase 4, Lahore.
The official contract signing ceremony brought together representatives from both organizations, including a Chinese delegation led by Mr. Hong, Chairman of Huashu International Trading (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. The model they are replicating has already worked in Dubai and Singapore. Now it is coming to Lahore.
What Is China Town Pakistan?
China Town Pakistan is a permanent trade and exhibition centre planned inside Bahria Sky Lahore. The word permanent matters here. This is not a three-day expo that packs up and leaves. It runs all year, every day, giving businesses continuous access to Chinese manufacturers without booking a flight.
The facility will cover more than 40,000 square feet, making it one of the largest dedicated China-focused trade platforms in Pakistan. Under one roof, Pakistani buyers will be able to browse product displays, hold supplier meetings, compare pricing, and place orders directly. Pakistani businesses will connect directly with Chinese manufacturers. Importers will discuss products and finalize deals without depending on interpreters or overseas visits. Entrepreneurs will build supplier relationships without spending months exchanging emails with unfamiliar contacts across borders.
The concept is straightforward. Bring the manufacturers to Pakistan instead of sending the importers to China.
A Strategic Partnership with Huashu International Trading
The partnership with Huashu International Trading (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. is what gives this project real weight. Huashu is not a small operation. Their platform connects with more than 2,000 manufacturers across multiple industries and product categories.
That is 2,000-plus suppliers that Pakistani businesses can now access without leaving Lahore.
For a typical importer, finding the right factory in China involves months of research, sourcing agents, failed samples, and expensive trips. China Town Pakistan collapses that entire process into a single location. Buyers can physically inspect products, discuss specifications face to face, negotiate pricing in real time, and build the kind of supplier relationship that actually holds up over time.
For small and medium businesses especially, this lowers the barrier to international trade in a way that nothing else in Pakistan currently does.
How Pakistani Businesses Will Benefit
Importing from China has always been central to Pakistan’s business ecosystem. Retailers, wholesalers, construction suppliers, e-commerce sellers: they all rely on Chinese-sourced products to some degree. The challenge has always been access. Finding reliable suppliers, verifying product quality, and managing overseas procurement without a dedicated team is genuinely difficult.
China Town Pakistan addresses that directly. Business owners can walk in, inspect actual products, ask real questions, and leave with confirmed supplier contacts. No more ordering blind from a catalogue. No more quality surprises when the shipment arrives three months later.
The project is set to benefit a wide range of businesses including importers, retailers, wholesalers, e-commerce sellers, construction suppliers, industrial buyers, and startups exploring new product lines. Entrepreneurs who have been hesitant to import because of the complexity involved will find the process far more approachable when the manufacturer is sitting across the table in Lahore.
Opportunities for Pakistani Manufacturers
This project is not only about bringing Chinese manufacturers to Pakistan. It also creates a platform for local manufacturers to step forward.
Pakistani companies will have the opportunity to set up display stalls within the facility and showcase their own products to an audience that includes international buyers and Chinese business networks. That kind of exposure is difficult to arrange independently. Here, it comes built into the environment.
Local manufacturers could use this platform to explore joint ventures, identify export opportunities, and connect with distribution channels that would otherwise take years to build. The result is a two-way business ecosystem, not just a sourcing centre for imports, but a genuine trade hub where local and international commerce meet.

Why Bahria Sky Was Chosen for This Project
Bahria Sky is already one of the most ambitious mixed-use developments currently underway in Lahore. Situated in Bahria Orchard Phase 4, it brings together commercial, retail, hospitality, and residential components within a single destination. Adding a permanent China Exhibition Centre fits naturally into that vision.
The logic is simple. A project that attracts business delegations, importers, and international visitors needs to be inside a development that can support all of that activity. Bahria Sky has the commercial infrastructure, the hospitality capacity, and the footfall ecosystem to make China Town Pakistan work at scale.
As business traffic grows, every other component of Bahria Sky benefits. Retail shops, restaurants, hotels, serviced apartments, and commercial offices all gain from the increased activity that a trade hub of this nature brings in.
Impact on Retail, Food, and Hospitality Businesses
The ripple effect of China Town Pakistan goes well beyond the exhibition floor itself.
A facility that runs year-round and continuously draws business visitors creates sustained demand for supporting services. People travelling from other cities, or arriving from China as part of supplier delegations, need somewhere to eat, somewhere to stay, and somewhere to conduct meetings outside of the exhibition centre.
Restaurants and food outlets inside Bahria Sky will see consistent customer traffic rather than the peaks and troughs that most commercial food businesses deal with. Hotels and serviced apartments will benefit from a reliable stream of business travellers who are not just passing through but staying for days at a time. Retail businesses gain from the simple fact that people with purchasing power are walking through the development regularly.
This is what separates China Town Pakistan from a standalone expo facility. It does not just generate activity inside its own walls. It distributes economic energy across everything around it.
Project Timeline and Development Update
Development work for the China Exhibition Centre is scheduled to begin on 20th June. The project team is targeting an official opening ceremony within three to four months of that start date. Given the level of commitment already demonstrated by both OZ Developers and the Huashu delegation, that timeline appears realistic.
The Chinese delegation’s recent visit to Lahore was not a formality. It reflects the seriousness with which both sides are approaching this initiative and the confidence they have in its commercial potential.
Why This Project Matters for Pakistan
China Town Pakistan is bigger than a single commercial development. It represents a genuine shift in how Pakistan participates in international trade.
For years, Pakistani businesses have been at a disadvantage simply because of geography. Travelling to Guangzhou or Yiwu to source products is something large corporations manage, but it sits out of reach for most independent businesses. This project removes that geographic barrier entirely.
If it delivers on its potential, China Town Pakistan will not just serve Lahore. Importers and manufacturers from Karachi, Faisalabad, Sialkot, and beyond will have a reason to make the trip, because the alternative of flying to China costs far more. A national trade destination, built inside one of Lahore’s most dynamic commercial developments, has the scale to reshape how Pakistani businesses source, import, and grow.
Final Thoughts
China Town Pakistan at Bahria Sky is one of the most genuinely innovative commercial projects announced in Pakistan in recent years. A 40,000-plus square foot permanent exhibition centre, direct access to over 2,000 Chinese manufacturers, and a partnership between OZ Developers and Huashu International Trading. It is the kind of initiative that does not come along often.
For investors, importers, business owners, and entrepreneurs, the opportunity here is real and concrete. Stronger Pakistan-China trade relations are already a fact. China Town Pakistan simply gives those relations a physical address in Lahore.
As development begins and the opening approaches, this project has every reason to become a landmark business destination, one that shapes trade, retail, and commercial activity in Lahore for years to come.
