ISLAMABAD - Pakistan and Uzbekistan have explored opportunities to expand bilateral trade, investment and economic cooperation in sectors including textiles, agriculture, food processing, real estate and special economic zones, Pakistan’s Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) said.
The SIFC hosted Uzbekistan’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Alisher Tukhtaev, for discussions on strengthening economic ties and identifying mutually beneficial business and investment opportunities between the two countries.
The talks also focused on improving regional connectivity, expanding business-to-business cooperation and facilitating cross-border investment and commercial partnerships.
During the meeting, the SIFC highlighted its role as a central platform for facilitating investment by providing coordinated institutional support to international investors and connecting them with relevant government and business stakeholders.
The engagement underscored the potential for stronger Pakistan-Uzbekistan economic relations through greater private-sector participation, improved business links and cooperation in areas of shared economic interest.
The SIFC said it remained committed to promoting international investment partnerships and turning emerging business opportunities into concrete economic cooperation, as Pakistan seeks to attract more foreign investment.
