Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Masood Khan has called on Pakistani-American businessmen to invest in Pakistan with “full confidence”.
“We are inviting investments from the United States and the Gulf region,” he told the Pakistan America Business Forum (PABF) Annual Award Banquet 2023 in Dallas, Texas, according to a press release issued by the Pakistani embassy.
“China is already making investment through CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor) projects. We have invited the Gulf region to participate in extractive industries and they are partnering with many European and North American firms. This is creating a huge opportunity for more investment in Pakistan,” the ambassador said, adding that since the infrastructure was there, “so step into that market.”

“Don’t hold back. Invest in Pakistan with full confidence,” Khan said. “Pakistan is ripe for investment.”
Addressing leading businessmen and entrepreneurs, the envoy said that with the presence of 80 US enterprises, there already existed vast infrastructure in Pakistan for investment.
“What you have to do is to scale up and there are ample opportunities available within that in Pakistan.”
