Dubai: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called on global investors, governments, and financial institutions to explore Pakistan’s vast opportunities in renewable energy, infrastructure, and technology. Speaking at the World Global Summit on Tuesday, he outlined Pakistan’s commitment to economic transformation, climate resilience, and sustainable development.
The prime minister highlighted Pakistan’s ambitious clean energy targets, aiming for a 60% renewable energy mix by 2030.
