American multinational corporation Procter & Gamble said on Thursday (October 2) that it would wind down its manufacturing and commercial activities in Pakistan and rely on third-party distributors to continue to serve customers as part of a restructuring programme.

“We will continue to operate the business in the ordinary course until the process is complete, which may take several months,” said a statement by P&G.
