The two met at FBR House to discuss matters related to increasing bi-lateral relations.
Akhtar stated that the country has a much improved security situation and a relatively more stable economy, which is incentive enough for investors to come to Pakistan. He added that the start of the present fiscal year has seen an 18% revenue growth which points to a healthy economy, eager to allow people to invest here.
Ambassador Kurai appreciated Pakistan’s efforts in creating a business-friendly environment and added that the country should now work for a more favourable and liberalised tax regime to foster foreign investment.
