ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has set up a dedicated pavilion at Intersec 2026 in Dubai to showcase its security and safety solutions, its Press Information Department (PID) said on Monday, highlighting the country’s growing capabilities in surveillance systems and emergency response equipment.
The 27th edition of Intersec, one of the world’s largest business exhibitions for security, safety and fire protection, is being held on Jan. 12-14 at the Dubai World Trade Center.
Intersec 2026 features exhibitors from over 60 countries, with more than 1,400 companies and an expected turnout of over 50,000 trade visitors, according to its organizers.
Hussain Muhammad, consul-general of Pakistan, inaugurated the country’s pavilion at the exhibition along with Trade and Investment Counsellor Ali Zeb Khan, according to the PID.
“This year, six Pakistani companies are participating in the exhibition under the auspices of the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) to showcase their products and services,” the PID said in a statement.
Pakistan’s participation in the event comes at a time when Islamabad, currently bolstered by a $7 billion International Monetary Fund (IMF) program, has been making efforts to enhance trade with various countries in the region as well as to attract foreign investment to revive its over $400 billion economy.
International platforms such as Intersec are vital to highlighting Pakistan’s export potential to the United Arab Emirates, Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets, and beyond.
“Pakistan’s participation in global exhibitions like Intersec underscores the country’s commitment to strengthening trade ties and showcasing its industrial and technological capabilities in the safety sector,” Consul-General Muhammad was quoted as saying.
“Such events provide an ideal opportunity for Pakistani companies to explore international markets, establish business linkages, and expand their global footprint.”
