Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi urged Egyptian companies to take advantage of the ample investment opportunities in various sectors across Pakistan, which include construction, energy and healthcare.
The foreign minister’s advice came while he was talking to a delegation of Egyptian businessmen and entrepreneurs, who called on him in Cairo.
The FM is on a two-day official visit to Egypt on the invitation of his Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Hassan Shoukry.
During the meeting, the foreign minister assured the Egyptian investors and businessmen of every possible cooperation and facilitation in their profit-oriented business and investment activities in Pakistan by the federal government.
“Pakistan’s improved rating in terms of ease of doing business at international level depicts full confidence of the international community in the policies of the present government,” FM Qureshi said.
“The existing brotherly relations between Pakistan and Egypt can be translated into strong bilateral trade and economic ties by exploring the true investment potential.”
