PM Invites Investment in Key Sectors

Lahore: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday encouraged friendly nations to invest in Pakistan’s mining, IT, and agricultural industries.

Speaking at the Health, Engineering, and Minerals Show in Lahore, the Prime Minister pledged complete support to investors, highlighting the attractive investment prospects in these areas.

Pakistan recently organized the Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025 (PMIF25), a two-day event aimed at showcasing the country’s substantial mineral wealth.

During the high-profile gathering, attended by about 300 international representatives, Pakistan presented a comprehensive strategy to stimulate investment in mining and minerals across all four provinces, Azad Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan.

The PMIF25 provided a key venue for international stakeholders to investigate investment possibilities in Pakistan’s developing minerals sector and unlock the country’s significant mineral potential.

PM Shehbaz emphasized the crucial role of mineral resources in revitalizing the nation’s economy. He stated at the forum that the country’s mineral assets, valued at trillions of dollars, could free its economy from ongoing reliance on regular bailouts from international lenders.

The Prime Minister mentioned the decline in inflation and policy rates, along with reduced electricity costs, at the ceremony today, noting that these changes have fostered a more favorable climate for investment in Pakistan.

He further stated that Pakistan is advancing toward growth and prosperity, adding, “Our country has a youthful population that is acquiring modern skills and vocational training.”

In closing, the Prime Minister emphasized the abundance of valuable natural resources in Pakistan, stressing the necessity of joint ventures in the mining and minerals sector.
