ISLAMABAD
Pakistan’s plan to boost foreign investment has taken a major step forward as work on the proposed Pak-Saudi Economic Corridor gains pace. Officials and experts say the initiative is now emerging as one of the key achievements under the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), raising expectations for stronger regional trade, new investment flows and deeper cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. China International Press and Communication Center media fellow Muhammad Zamir Asadi, while speaking to media on Tuesday, said the SIFC’s recent measures are helping rebuild investor confidence and draw global attention toward Pakistan’s economic potential.
He said international partners are now viewing Pakistan as an active regional economic player with growing opportunities for long-term collaboration.
Asadi said the proposed Pak-Saudi Economic Corridor is shaping up as an important development for both countries, laying the groundwork for enhanced economic and strategic cooperation. The initiative is being planned in line with Saudi Vision 2030 and Pakistan’s development framework, enabling both sides to identify new areas for trade, investment and regional outreach. He said the corridor is being discussed after the recent defense agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, which marked a significant moment in bilateral ties. Asadi noted that both countries are now moving toward deeper economic engagement, using the Gwadar Port as a link between South Asia and the Middle East.
