Islamabad: Advisor to Prime Minister (PM) for Commerce, Textile, Industry and Production, and Investment Abdul Razak Dawood has urged companies from the United States to invest in Pakistan — with the move aimed at expanding bilateral economic and trade relations between the two countries, a news source reported.
Dawood met with a US delegation and informed the representatives that the incumbent government was now focusing on encouraging foreign investments. He also discussed the issues of bilateral trade and enhanced market access to Pakistan with US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross.
The PM’s advisor asked the US delegation to participate in the Business Opportunities Conference for forging better networking between the private sectors of both countries. Further, he said that the US International Development Finance Corporation (IDFC) should help in developing new businesses in Pakistan.
In response, Secretary Ross expressed his appreciation for
the suggestion and asked Pakistan’s Ministry of Commerce to propose projects
for this purpose.
