Saudi Arabia: Investment in Energy and Infrastructure
Saudi Arabia has been a long-standing ally of Pakistan, and the latest trade negotiations are expected to bring billions of dollars in investments. According to official sources, Saudi investors have shown keen interest in Pakistan’s energy sector, particularly in renewable energy projects and oil refining. Infrastructure development, including modernizing Pakistan’s ports and transportation systems, is also on the table.
The Army Chief underlined that Saudi support would help Pakistan meet its growing energy demands and modernize critical infrastructure. “Saudi investment will not only bring financial benefits but also create a robust foundation for industrial growth,” he said.
United States: Technology and Agricultural Modernization
Trade discussions with the United States are focusing heavily on technology transfer, agricultural modernization, and export-oriented industries. American firms are expected to collaborate with Pakistani companies in sectors like information technology, agritech, and e-commerce.
The Army Chief noted that strengthening trade with the US would give Pakistan access to advanced technologies and open doors for local businesses to enter global markets. “This partnership is about innovation, knowledge exchange, and boosting Pakistan’s exports,” he stated.
UAE: Financial Services and Tourism Development
