PM’s meetings with investors to prove fructuous

During his visit to the US to attend the UNGA meeting, Prime Minister Imran Khan met more than 70 heads of states and invited their attention towards the atrocities committed by Indian forces on the people of Indian Held Kashmir. His comprehensive address at UNGA would go down in the history as one of the best speeches made in the august forum in the past. However, one important thing which has gone unnoticed by the media during his visit to USA was that he did his best to improve Pakistan’s economy, which is in a bad shape due to plundering of national wealth especially during the last ten years. Out of his busy schedule, he took the time out of his back to back hectic diplomatic schedule, and met with the international investors.
On September 26, he met with the executives and teams of a number of world leading companies like Exxon group and AKD group and convinced them to invest in Pakistan, which is a lucrative market. Exxon Mobil, the world’s biggest Oil &Gas Company has already announced that it will reinvest in Pakistani market after a gap of nearly three decades. The PM met the AKD group’s board members also; a security company which is owned by a Pakistani American. Besides these two main leading companies, Imran Khan met a large number
of other investors and convinced them to invest in Pakistan where the environment after taking over of the government is very business-friendly and conducive. Unfortunately, biased international media downplayed the PM’s activities on economic front due to Indian influence.
During his first official visit to the US in July 2019, Prime Minister Imran Khan had meetings with the Pakistani business community – leading Pakistani American businessman. A group of prospective investors had also called on PM Imran Khan at the Pakistani embassy in Washington DC. Prime Minister Imran Khan invited businessmen and investors to benefit from the economic and business opportunities afforded by Pakistan’s strategic location and the connectivity to the broader region. The press statement said that the investors appreciated improved security environment in Pakistan and identified areas of interest with regard to investment in key sectors including energy and tourism. Indeed, there is a need to highlight his selfless struggle for structuring Pakistan’s economy and pulling it out of ICU. It will be unfair if his services go unnoticed.
Imran Khan is not only popular national leader but he has also emerged as a statesman. He expressed concerns about Islmophobia, and tried to convince the international community that Islam is peaceful religion, and gave references that non-Muslims were equal members of society. As such, he fought the case for Muslim Ummah. He had the courage to refer to the western leaders about their misconception of Islam, and rejected the term Islamic radicalism, which was also used by President Donald Trump when he attended the meeting organized by Natendra Modi at Houston. Anyhow, there was a belated realization on the part of Trump who later said that Modi had used harsh words for Pakistan.
