Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has said that foreign investment will provide a much-needed boost to the economy and generate employment opportunities.
“The government has prioritised mega projects to place the country’s economy on a right track,” he said, while attending a presentation on mega infrastructure development projects including Gwadar Port, railways and energy projects.
“Pakistan’s growing strategic relationship with China will pave the way for new and innovative ideas in all fields,” he remarked.
He said investment in ports, railways and energy would not only provide necessary impetus to the economy but would also help reduce the unemployment rate.
“We have always welcomed Chinese investment, which has been a source of strengthening ties between the two countries,” Nawaz said, adding investors would be offered all possible assistance.

We people are very glad that whole Pakistan is now changing and we want that we should have to face many other countries that are developed. Pakistan is a developing country, we should make our selves and country so strong that if we want anything we can make it from ourselves even we can help other countries like China and Japan helping us. Prime minister and Cheif minister are working hard enough for country's infrastructure, people of Pakistan are also realizing and now i think we can attain a better position in rank of developed countries. We really really want to make our country so beautiful to increase our Tourism and to earn money from it One thing more there is a big problem that beautification projects are just carried out in some particular cities like Lahore-Islamabad-Karachi etc. Southern Punjab plays an important role in Pakistan tourism So, government should also think on it there much places to visit and beautification must be there too........ (THANK-YOU)
