Business Year chief eyes Pakistan investment

Federal Board of Investment Minister Qaiser Ahmed Sheikh met The Business Year chief executive Carlos Martínez during the 30th World Investment Conference in Geneva, where Martínez showed interest in exploring commercial and investment prospects in Pakistan. The Express Tribune reported that the meetings were part of efforts to deepen ties with international investment organisations and encourage business cooperation.

Sheikh also spoke with World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies executive board chairman James X Zhan about cross-border investment collaboration and Pakistan’s promotion work. At the conference’s General Assembly, the minister cited sectors including technology, farming, minerals, energy, infrastructure, manufacturing and logistics, while reaffirming plans to engage investment agencies and facilitate foreign investors. These discussions signal an effort to raise Pakistan’s profile with international business groups, but the report describes interest and outreach rather than a confirmed investment or agreement.
