Washington DC, Ambassador Masood Khan, Pakistan’s envoy to the United States, has proclaimed Pakistan as an ideal investment destination for US investors. In a virtual meeting with the President of the Pakistan Chamber of Commerce USA (PCC-USA), Mr. Amir Piprani, and his team, Khan highlighted the significant opportunities available in various sectors of the Pakistani economy.

According to Embassy of Pakistan – Washington D.C, Ambassador Khan emphasized the role of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) in providing comprehensive support and a one-window solution to investors. The SIFC aims to assist investors in tapping into the vast market potential of Pakistan and the surrounding region. Khan pointed out that sectors like IT, energy, agriculture, and minerals are top priorities, but the facilitation extends to investments in all areas of the economy.

During the meeting, which also included the presence of Pakistan’s Consul General in Houston, Mr. Aftab Ahmed Chaudhry, and Trade and Investment Attaché Ms. Shaista Bunyad, Ambassador Khan explained the SIFC’s objective. The council is established to ensure that foreign investors, particularly the Pak-American business community with interests in investing in Pakistan, receive proper support in their business ventures.

Mr. Amir Piprani briefed the Ambassador on the activities of PCC-USA, with a special focus on the upcoming Pakistan Business Expo 2024. Scheduled for October in Houston, this event will showcase a variety of Pakistani products in diverse fields such as sporting and surgical equipment, IT, beauty and health, food and beverages, oil and gas, home living, textiles, and jewelry.

Ambassador Khan assured complete support from the Embassy and the Pakistani Consulate in Houston for the successful organization of the Pakistan Business Expo 2024. This assurance further underscores the commitment of the Pakistani government and its diplomatic missions to bolstering investment and trade ties with the United States.
