The visiting delegation told the chief minister that they were interested in working with the provincial government in the water sector, including distribution, solar systems, and cattle breeding for Hilal meat.

“Our company would make direct investment and where necessary they would work on PPP mode,” the CEO Abdullah Al Mutairi said.

The chief minister said that his government was launching a water scheme to provide tap water in different districts of Karachi. “We would welcome you if the Kuwaiti company started a water distribution system in the city,” he said.
