The three-day 'India Show' scheduled to begin at Lahore from tomorrow was cancelled due to security concerns from both the sides.
The show was to be organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Industry (Ficci) along with Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) and Trade Development Authority of India (TDAP).
"Government sources and Pakistan side have indicated high security threat perception and it left Ficci in a situation to postpone the Show," a Ficci source said.
Last year also, the show was not held.
Representatives of over 100 Indian companies were expected to participate in the function.
As per the programme, about 40-member Ficci delegation, headed by its President Harshavardhan Neotia, was scheduled to go to Pakistan for the event.
An MEA spokesperson said: "We always favour such shows because it helps in increasing trade and economic engagement between the two countries".
Trade between the two countries has increased from USD 1.9 billion in 2011-12 to USD 2.3 billion in 2014-15.
