The Balochistan Board of Investment and Trade (BBoIT) Chief Executive Officer Farman Zarkoon on Friday said that practical measures were being taken to increase foreign investment in the province.
He said that a webinar was being held on the Sep 30 by the BBI for South African investors to spread awareness for investment opportunities in Balochistan. He added that the webinar would also have investors from the US along with investors from South Africa, Boswana, Mozambique, Dentho and participants from the local business community.
Zarkoon stated that an event such as this was being organized for the first time in Balochistan, where the focus was investment in the province from African nations. While stating that the agenda of the webinar will be released soon by the board, he said that the webinar was in line with the federal government’s decision to increase trade with African countries and that the same was evidenced by the federal government’s participation of the Nairobi summit in Kenya last year.
While commenting on the board’s plans, he said that the webinar was also aimed at creating opportunities for international companies to invest in the province’s mineral industry and that this webinar would increase our knowledge in the area mainly because various African countries have allowed international investment in their mineral industries.
