ISLAMABAD ( WNAM REPORT): A high-level Saudi trade delegation, led by His Excellency Prince Mansour bin Mohammed Al Saud, participated in the Saudi–Pakistan Joint Business Council Meeting held in Islamabad on 8 October 2025. The meeting was organized under the Saudi–Pakistan Joint Business Council, with the support of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) and the Ministry of Commerce.
The delegation comprised leading Saudi business figures representing key sectors including minerals, energy, agriculture and livestock, construction, infrastructure, tourism, and real estate. Prominent representatives from Pakistan’s private sector and business enterprises also participated, underscoring the shared resolve to expand bilateral trade and investment cooperation.
During the session, Pakistani ministers, senior officials, and industry leaders briefed the Saudi delegation on Pakistan’s evolving investment climate, presenting opportunities in SIFC’s priority sectors and highlighting the government’s facilitative reforms aimed at creating a predictable, transparent, and investor-friendly business environment.
The Joint Business Council provides a structured institutional platform to foster joint ventures, cross-sector partnerships, and private-sector collaboration — promoting sustainable economic linkages between the two brotherly nations.
His Excellency Prince Mansour bin Mohammed Al Saud commended Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its investment ecosystem and reaffirmed the Kingdom’s commitment to long-term economic engagement aligned with Saudi Vision 2030. He emphasized that Pakistan is an important regional partner with promising potential in agriculture, mining, energy, technology, tourism, and real estate.
The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), in collaboration with the Ministry of Commerce, organized a dedicated briefing session for the Saudi delegation. The session provided an in-depth overview of Pakistan’s investment facilitation framework, regulatory reforms, and emerging opportunities across SIFC’s priority sectors — particularly energy, minerals, agriculture, tourism, real estate, and information technology.
As part of the visit, the Saudi delegation will also travel to Karachi and Lahore, where the SIFC will facilitate meetings with provincial governments and prominent business houses to explore joint investment ventures and public–private partnerships in key sectors. These engagements are designed to strengthen regional investment linkages and unlock new opportunities for economic integration at the provincial and national levels.
The visit marks a significant milestone in advancing the shared economic objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 and Pakistan’s investment-led development strategy. It reflects a growing synergy between Riyadh and Islamabad in their pursuit of sustainable growth, regional connectivity, and mutual prosperity.
The meeting concluded with a reaffirmation of both nations’ resolve to transform their historic fraternal ties into a future-oriented economic partnership, deepening private-sector collaboration and fostering regional stability through enhanced trade and investment.
