Saudi delegation explores major investment push in Pakistan

A high-level Saudi trade delegation, led by Prince Mansour bin Mohammed Al Saud, reaffirmed the Kingdom’s resolve to expand economic cooperation and investment in Pakistan during the Saudi-Pakistan Joint Business Council meeting on Wednesday.

The meeting, organised with the support of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) and the Ministry of Commerce, focused on broadening trade, investment, and private-sector partnerships under Saudi Vision 2030 and Pakistan’s investment-led growth framework.

Senior business representatives from Saudi Arabia’s minerals, energy, agriculture, construction, infrastructure, tourism, and real estate sectors attended the session, along with leading Pakistani business figures and officials.

The Saudi delegation was briefed on Pakistan’s investment policies, regulatory reforms, and priority sectors identified by the SIFC.

Officials highlighted the government’s focus on ensuring a transparent, predictable, and business-friendly environment to attract foreign investors.

Prince Mansour bin Mohammed Al Saud praised Pakistan’s ongoing economic reforms and reaffirmed Riyadh’s commitment to strengthening long-term partnerships in energy, mining, agriculture, technology, tourism, and real estate.

The Joint Business Council serves as a key platform to encourage private-sector cooperation, joint ventures, and sustainable business engagement between the two countries.

The delegation will also visit Karachi and Lahore to meet provincial leadership and major business groups for discussions on public–private partnerships and joint ventures.

These engagements are aimed at translating bilateral goodwill into tangible investments and project collaborations.

Officials said the visit marks an important step toward aligning Pakistan’s investment priorities with Saudi Vision 2030, reflecting both nations’ shared goal of regional connectivity and sustainable economic growth.

The meeting concluded with a joint commitment to transform the two countries’ historic brotherly ties into a forward-looking economic partnership led by the private sector.
