Lahore: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif assured global investors of full facilitation on Saturday, urging friendly countries to explore lucrative investment opportunities in Pakistan’s mining, information technology, and agriculture sectors.
Speaking at the Health, Engineering, and Minerals Show in Lahore, the Prime Minister emphasized the government’s commitment to creating an investor-friendly environment. He highlighted the immense potential these sectors hold for mutually beneficial partnerships and reiterated Pakistan’s openness to foreign investment.
In his address, PM Sharif also pointed to Pakistan’s recent hosting of the two-day Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025 (PMIF25), a high-level event designed to showcase the country’s rich mineral resources. The forum attracted over 300 foreign delegates, providing a platform for global stakeholders to explore investment opportunities in Pakistan’s emerging minerals sector. During the event, the government unveiled a unified framework to promote mining and mineral investment across the country, including its four provinces, Azad Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
The Prime Minister described the nation’s mineral wealth, estimated to be worth trillions of dollars, as crucial for Pakistan’s economic revival. He noted that these resources have the potential to break Pakistan’s reliance on frequent international bailouts, offering a path toward self-sufficiency.
Furthermore, PM Sharif acknowledged recent economic reforms, such as reductions in inflation, policy rates, and electricity tariffs, which he said have created a more conducive environment for investment. He expressed optimism about the country’s progress, particularly due to Pakistan’s young and dynamic population, which is increasingly gaining modern skills and vocational training.
“The future of Pakistan lies in its young generation, who are equipping themselves with the skills necessary for a prosperous and self-sustained nation,” the Prime Minister stated.
