ISLAMABAD: Islamabad and Riyadh on Sunday reached a consensus on investment modalities, paving the way for ratification of a free trade agreement with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

Caretaker information minister Murtaza Solangi who is in Saudi Arabia, in a message on X, said that the agreement with GCC, a regional, intergovernmental, political, and economic union comprising Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, had been pending for the last 19 years.

He expressed optimism that if approved, it will mark the first trade and investment agreement which the GCC enters into with Pakistan in the past 15 years.

The federal government's decisions regarding hydropower projects in Pakistan demonstrate a commitment to transparency and public value creation. Positive aspects include the formulation of guidelines for the issuance of Letters of Interest (LoIs), the proactive review and streamlining of hydropower projects, emphasis on quality oversight in construction, reassessment of criteria under the Integrated Generation Capacity Expansion Plan (IGCEP), establishment of oversight committees, and collaboration with provincial governments. These actions collectively indicate a comprehensive and systematic approach to addressing challenges in the hydropower sector and promoting responsible and transparent development.

If Pakistan becomes successful boosting up trade with Saudi Arabia then it will definitely help country in overcome it's deep-seated economic challenges. The country is in dire need to attract foreign investment and alternative sources of trade. Saudi Arabia can be a game changer for Pakistan

@Munawar , Unluckily since the the last 3 months we we have no elected government. The caretaker government is just to run the daily business and conduct free and fair polls as per the SC schedule. Nobody can trust the caretakers as they don't have public mandate.
