Stressing the need for promoting local and foreign investment in the province, he said that Sindh is blessed with abundant natural resources, but to benefit from them, “we have to make strenuous efforts.”
The Sindh government, he said, wanted to promote investment in the province as there were vast opportunities for setting industries especially agro-based units.
He said that foreign investors were showing interest in investment in Karachi and rural areas of the province, and the government was also facilitating them by making the infrastructure available and providing basic facilities.
However, prompt practical measures are needed to resolve the problems of people by providing them jobs.
He said that raw material, agriculture produce, fruits, meat and fish and its products are in abundance in Sindh.
“Promoting agro-based industries, we can make Pakistan a modern industrial state”.
He expressed the hope that the large presence of investors at the conference shows that they want to join hands with the government in development efforts so that its fruits reach the people.
Earlier, inaugurating the conference Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan said the high profile event would make a significant and worthwhile contribution in attracting investment which would lead to economic prosperity of the people.
