KP Chief Minister Pervez Khattak has welcomed the investment from the Danish government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa adding that PTI government has opened the province for foreign investors. He reminded that in the past the worsening law and order situation was the main hurdle in the foreign investment. The past rulers were corrupt however his government changed the system, re-tracked the development of the province and put in place a transparent system suitable for both domestic and foreign investment. For the first time, his government distributed lease agreements to the potential investors in the presence of mediamen, he added.
These remarks he made while talking to the outgoing Danish Ambassador Ole Thonke, who called on him at Pakhtunkhwa House Islamabad on Thursday. Welcoming the keenness of Danish government to invest in the province, the CM assured that the government would provide all-out support to the Danish companies. He said the government would offer six sites and the Danish companies could retain three of them for cement plant in the province.
Referring to the natural advantages and the available investment opportunities in the province, Khattak regretted that the previous rulers did nothing to utilize the natural advantages for the benefit of the province adding that the government machinery was corrupt to the core in the past and the law and order situation was not suitable. Khattak talked about his constant efforts for the de-politicization of public sector institutions and establishment of autonomous boards and authorities in the province.
He reduced the role of the government in the decision making process of the boards and authorities adding that reforms were brought in police, health and education sectors that restored the confidence of the people in the government and that was the main reason the foreign investors landed here to invest in the province. The Danish ambassador appreciated the performance of KP government and took well the incentives given to the foreign investors.
