Speaking at the Pakistan's Automotive Components Manufacturer Exhibition at Novi, Michigan, he said that participation of 14 Pakistani Auto Parts manufacturers in the United States was a sign of revitalization of industrial sector of Pakistan, a country enriched by enormous workforce under age bracket of 30 years.
