Sharif informed the visiting president that his government is focused on reviving the economy, overcoming the energy shortage.

“We are committed to good governance, curbing corruption, ensuring fiscal discipline and widening the tax base to revive the economy to its true potential”, he said.

The prime minister further said that Pakistan today is one of the most investor friendly countries; offering excellent opportunities for foreign investors with investment-friendly regulations and a huge market of nearly 200 million people.

“I am happy to note that both sides have established various platforms and tools to promote trade, business and investment between the two countries, which provides a solid basis for enhancing multi-dimensional relations,” he said.

He noted that both the Joint Economic Commission and the Joint Trade Committee are actively pursuing these issues.

“Pakistan wants peaceful resolution of all outstanding issues with India, including the issue of Jammu and Kashmir. I want to thank you for your expression of support for peaceful resolution of Kashmir dispute,” he said.
