Weeks after a historic mutual defence agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia further enhanced the bilateral ties between the two countries, a high-level trade delegation from the Kingdom has participated in the Saudi-Pakistan Joint Business Council Meeting exploring new investment avenues.
As per an official statement, the delegation, led by Prince Mansour bin Mohammed Al Saud, attended the Islamabad meeting organised under the Saudi-Pakistan Joint Business Council, with support from the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) and the Ministry of Commerce.
The Saudi delegation included prominent business figures representing minerals, energy, agriculture and livestock, construction, infrastructure, tourism and real estate. Leading Pakistani entrepreneurs and private-sector representatives also attended the meeting, reflecting mutual resolve to expand bilateral trade and investment ties.
During the session, Pakistani ministers, senior officials and industry leaders briefed the Saudi side on Pakistan’s evolving investment climate. They highlighted reforms undertaken to create a predictable, transparent, and investor-friendly environment, while presenting opportunities in SIFC’s priority sectors.
Prince Saud praised Pakistan’s efforts to strengthen its investment ecosystem and reaffirmed the Kingdom’s commitment to long-term engagement aligned with Saudi Vision 2030.
He said Pakistan was an important regional partner with promising prospects in agriculture, mining, energy, technology, tourism and real estate.
The SIFC and the Ministry of Commerce also arranged a dedicated briefing session for the delegation, outlining Pakistan’s investment facilitation framework and regulatory reforms with focus on opportunities across energy, minerals, agriculture, tourism, real estate and information technology.
The delegation will also visit Lahore and Karachi to meet provincial governments and business groups for exploring joint ventures and public-private partnerships, marking a milestone in advancing Saudi Vision 2030 and Pakistan’s investment-led development strategy.
