In a recent cabinet briefing, the Prime Minister shared significant achievements from his diplomatic visits to Saudi Arabia and Qatar. These high-profile meetings emphasized strengthening Pakistan's economic ties and deepening bilateral relations with both Gulf nations.
During the visit to Saudi Arabia, the Prime Minister engaged with key leaders, including Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, to discuss mutual economic projects, particularly focusing on expanding investments in Pakistan’s energy and infrastructure sectors. Talks were also held on enhancing trade, underscoring both nations' commitment to boosting bilateral economic cooperation. The Prime Minister praised Saudi Arabia’s interest in supporting Pakistan's economic growth, reflecting positively on their long-standing partnership.
In Qatar, discussions centered on expanding cooperation in trade, energy, and labor. Qatar, with its burgeoning economy, is a vital partner for Pakistan, especially in energy imports. The two sides explored avenues for increased collaboration in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector, a critical component for Pakistan's energy needs. Additionally, both countries expressed intent to strengthen labor ties, potentially increasing employment opportunities for Pakistani workers in Qatar, which would further benefit Pakistan’s foreign remittance inflow.
The Prime Minister emphasized that these visits represent a strategic success for Pakistan's economic agenda and reflect its active role in strengthening regional partnerships. He assured the cabinet that such diplomatic engagements would continue, aimed at fostering economic stability and creating sustainable growth for Pakistan.
