He highlighted Pakistan’s conducive investment climate and reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to facilitating Saudi investments.
Prince Mansour bin Mohammad Al Saud appreciated the progress of the Saudi-Pak JBC, terming it among the most successful business councils globally. Both sides agreed to further strengthen economic linkages for the shared prosperity of the two brotherly nations.
The Saudi delegation arrived in Islamabad on Monday for an official visit aimed at expanding bilateral trade and investment cooperation between the two brotherly nations.
The visit underscores the deep-rooted, fraternal relations between Pakistan and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, reflecting their shared commitment to transforming traditional cooperation into diversified economic, trade, and investment linkages.
Saudi Arabia remains one of Pakistan’s largest trading partners, a key supplier of petroleum products, and home to over two million Pakistani expatriates who contribute significantly through remittances.
Both countries view this engagement as part of a broader shift toward mutually beneficial economic integration, where Saudi investment and expertise support Pakistan’s structural reforms, and Pakistan’s market and skilled workforce contribute to Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification objectives.
