Pakistan seeks investments to promote industries: Imran Khan

TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Wednesday that the country is seeking local and foreign investments to establish more and more industries to increase the country’s income and create employment opportunities.

The Prime Minister expressed the views during his talk to media persons after meeting with a group of businessmen and industrialists in the country’s southern port city of Karachi.

“We have adopted a basic policy to prefer investments over debts to promote industrialisation because we think it is the only way to help the country face economic challenges,” said the Prime Minister, adding that his government is trying its best to facilitate investors by all means.

Khan said his government is promoting ease of doing business in the country, facilitating investors, removing hurdles from their ways by bringing reforms in the system, providing them with incentives, including cheap electricity and gas.
