PM Orders Quick Action on Trade, Investment Plans

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has urged federal ministries to speed up investment, economic, and trade efforts without any delay. He chaired an online meeting from London, attended by key federal ministers. Shehbaz stressed the need for practical steps that produce results quickly. He said that all current projects must be completed on time. Delays, he warned, would hurt Pakistan’s economic progress.

The prime minister gave clear targets to ministries during the session. He asked them to identify projects ready for immediate launch. These projects should boost trade and attract new investments. Shehbaz made it clear that only action-oriented and high-impact plans would be supported. His focus remains on long-term economic stability and visible development.

He also highlighted five key sectors with strong investment potential. These include agriculture, information technology, tourism, minerals, and renewable energy. Shehbaz said that investment in these areas will create jobs and modernize industries. He urged ministries to unlock opportunities in each sector. Foreign investors must be drawn in through smart and efficient planning.

Trade growth remains a top priority for the government. Shehbaz called for a clear roadmap to increase exports and open new markets. He stressed that Pakistani goods need better global reach. The ministries were told to improve competitiveness through policy reforms. This, he said, is vital for economic success and investor confidence.

The prime minister also emphasized the role of the private sector in the growth plan. He said reforms have set the right direction for the economy. Innovation and transparency are driving change across key sectors. Shehbaz ended the meeting with optimism, stating that Pakistan is now firmly on the development path. The ministers of finance, petroleum, commerce, and others joined the meeting virtually.
