First, we would like to recap our discussion with you regarding market position of "Peony" brand toilet rolls in Pakistan. We explained to you in detail about the problems faced by dealers in marketing the above item. Your delegation also had the opportunity to personally listen to the comments of individual dealers. We now summarize the market position as follows. Toilet paper is not used by a majority of the population of our country. In fact, it is not customary to use toilet paper for domestic purposes. Consumption of this product is mostly limited to hotels, restaurants, some offices, and a very small fraction of private households.

Having said that, there is a still bigger problem which has to be solved in order to maximize sales. Your corporation ships the goods from Qingdao mostly on transshipment vessels via Hong Kong and Singapore. Due to the limitations of this shipping method, the goods usually arrive here four or five months after shipment from Qingdao. A recent example is a lot of 285 cartons that was shipped to us on vessel "Yatlung" from Qingdao on 19 November 1978. These goods actually reached us near the end of April 1979, over five months after the shipment was originally made. We have enclosed herewith copies of the shipping documents showing this fact.

In view of this problem, we urge you to begin shipping your goods on direct vessels or with shipping companies that offer express service, so that dealers can repeat their orders after receipt of a consignment(交货), and we can sell more of your product in Pakistan.

Meanwhile, thank you for your attention and we wish to assure you of our usual best attention and efforts in facilitating and encouraging sales of "Peony" toiletpaper in Pakistan.
