This event marks the beginning of a new cooperation journey between TikTok its partners, such as the Shanghai Live E-Commerce Alliance, the Shanghai Silk Road Cloud Products Alliance, and Shanghai Global Exchange, aiming to promote economic and cultural exchanges between China and Pakistan and bring more diversified commodity choices for consumers.

The leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce delivered an enthusiastic speech, expressing warm congratulations on the opening of the TikTok Pakistan Pavillon, and expressed hopes for its role in promoting trade and cultural exchanges between China and Pakistan in the future.
The establishment of TikTok Pakistan Pavillon is not only a simple opening of an e-commerce platform, but also carries profound cultural significance and commercial value, Aqeel Ahmed Chaudhry, a Pakistani jeweler based in Shanghai told APP.
As a short video platform under the Chinese Internet giant ByteDance, TikTok has been committed to connecting global users through innovative ways, and the opening of the Pakistan pavilion is an important step in its globalization strategy.
He said, through this platform, Pakistani specialty products can be displayed to Chinese and even global consumers, enriching market diversity and providing a new sales channel for Pakistani manufacturers.
In the context of globalization, economic cooperation between China and Pakistan is becoming increasingly close.
Pakistan, as a country with abundant natural resources and unique cultural heritage, enjoys a high reputation in the Chinese market for its handicrafts, textiles, agricultural products, and more, he added.
The opening of TikTok Pakistan Pavilion will undoubtedly open a door for these products to the Chinese market, and also provide a window for Chinese consumers to directly contact and understand Pakistani culture.
In addition, the participation of partners such as the Shanghai Live E-Commerce Alliance, the Shanghai Silk Road Cloud Product Alliance, and the Shanghai Global Exchange have provided strong support for the operation of Pavilion.
Aqeel Chaudhry said, these institutions have rich experience and resources in the field of e-commerce. Their participation will help TikTok better integrate the supply chain, improve logistics efficiency, optimize consumer experience, and thus promote the healthy development of China Pakistan trade.
At the opening ceremony, TikTok also shared the future development plan. The company plans to attract more users to participate in the purchase and sharing of Pakistani products by organizing various online activities and challenges.
At the same time, TikTok will also use its powerful data analysis ability to provide Pakistani suppliers with market insight and consumer preference analysis to help them better position products and adjust market strategies.
In short, the opening of TikTok’s Pakistan Pavilion is not only a new starting point for China Pakistan economic and trade cooperation, but also a new milestone for TikTok’s global layout.
As more Pakistani goods enter the Chinese market through this platform, the friendly cooperation between China and Pakistan will be further deepened, and the mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples will also be enhanced, he added.
