Overseas Pakistanis Commission (OPC) Commissioner Afzaal Bhatti said on Sunday that the Punjab offered a lucrative environment for investors in energy, agriculture, livestock, tourism and infrastructure sectors.
He was addressing participants of a road show organised by OPC in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
OPC Vice Chairman Capt (r) Khalid Shaheen Butt and Additional Director General Ahmad Mubeen were also present. Hundreds of Pakistanis living in Jeddah participated in the event.
