Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Thursday said that economic stability, investment friendly policies and the level playing field provided by government to local and foreign investors have made Pakistan a destination of choice for foreign investments which are expected to be over US $5 billion this year.
He was talking to a delegation of England's Asian Business Forum led by Member of British Empire Fazal Hussain and Lord Mayor of Bradford Chaudhary Rangzeb here at the Prime Minister House.
The Prime Minister said that Pakistan's economic growth could be gauged from the fact that the size of economy and per capita income has doubled in the last seven years. He said that all this happened as a result of Pakistan's economic reforms which have been appreciated by almost all major financial institutions at the international level.
Discussing the geo-political situation in the area, Shaukat Aziz said that Pakistan is a victim of terrorism and has thus joined the war against terrorism out of conviction to fight this scourge which is a threat to the society. He emphasised the need to address the root causes of terrorism to eliminate it completely.
The Lord Mayor of Bradford Rangzeb as well as Fazal Hussain praised the economic and development policies of the government and said that these policies are people-focused with a view to promote their socio-economic development.
