The Teams put in a lot of effort in preparation for the APICTA knowing full well that they are representing not only their companies but also Pakistan. Each year the teams raise the flag high and make us proud. This year Guangzhou it has been no different. Although we had a much smaller team this year due to budgetary constraints, tonight Team Pakistan won Gold and 6 Merit Awards – amazing results.”
