Lahore: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday invited friendly countries to invest in Pakistan’s key sectors — mining, information technology, and agriculture — assuring full support and facilitation from the government.
Speaking at the Health, Engineering and Minerals Show in Lahore, the prime minister said these sectors hold great potential for profitable investments.
He also highlighted the recent two-day Pakistan Minerals Investment Forum 2025 (PMIF25), where Pakistan showcased its vast mineral resources and introduced a unified investment framework. The event attracted around 300 foreign delegates and focused on opportunities across Pakistan’s four provinces, as well as Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
PM Shehbaz called the country’s mineral wealth the foundation of its economic revival. He stressed that Pakistan’s untapped resources, worth trillions of dollars, could help the country move away from its reliance on foreign loans.
He also pointed out that inflation and policy rates, along with electricity prices, have come down — making Pakistan a more attractive place for investment. "Pakistan is on the path to growth and development," he said.
The prime minister also mentioned the strength of the country's young population, many of whom are gaining skills through vocational training and modern education.
He concluded by saying that Pakistan is blessed with valuable natural resources, and called for joint ventures in the mining and minerals sector to fully unlock their potential.
