Official talks: PM welcomes Australian investment

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has said that Pakistan and Australia need to undertake serious efforts to open new avenues for enhanced trade between the two countries. He was talking to Australian High Commissioner Peter Heyward who called on him at the Prime Minister house. “Bilateral trade between the two countries has been growing steadily over the past few years; however, the trade volume still remains far below its true potential.” He said Pakistan would like to welcome more Australian corporate entities to consider investment opportunities in its oil and gas, mining, power generation in hydel, thermal and renewable energy fields and agro-based industry. The Prime Minister said that Pakistan attaches importance to cordial ties with Australia, as both countries share common perceptions and enjoy convergence of views.
