KARACHI: Sindh Governor Syed Mohammad Nahal Hashmi on Wednesday met a delegation of the Memon community at the Governor House, discussing the city’s economic outlook, trade activity and the role of business groups in Karachi’s development.
The 20-member delegation congratulated the Governor on assuming office and expressed expectations of improved engagement with the business community.
Hashmi said he would strive to meet the confidence reposed in him by former Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, adding that the federal government was extending full support for Karachi’s development. He expressed optimism that investment would pick up following improved regional stability, while highlighting efforts to upgrade Karachi’s coastal belt and revive its tourism potential.
“People once came to Karachi for tourism; today they go to Dubai,” Hashmi said, underscoring the need to restore the city’s appeal. The Governor also called for constructive criticism, saying it would help improve governance and performance.
