US business delegation explores investment opportunities in Pakistan

  • Meets Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, expresses interest in key sectors including mining and minerals, according to PMO statement
Published January 29, 2025

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Wednesday met a delegation of US investors, led by Gentry Beach, a prominent hedge fund manager from Texas, and a close business associate of the Trump family, to discuss Pakistan’s investment landscape and economic potential.

During the meeting, the US business delegation expressed interest in exploring investment opportunities across key sectors, including mining and minerals, renewable energy, infrastructure development, and technology, read a statement released by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

PM Shehbaz expressed gratitude for the delegation’s keen interest in exploring business opportunities in Pakistan.

“He reaffirmed the government’s unwavering commitment to facilitating foreign investors by ensuring a conducive business environment, streamlined processes, and robust institutional support,” read the release.

Highlighting Pakistan’s strategic geographical location, a skilled and youthful workforce, and a rapidly expanding consumer market, the prime minister underscored the country’s unique appeal as a global investment destination.

The visit, occurring soon after the new US administration assumes office, is being viewed as a major diplomatic and economic milestone.

During the meeting, Gentry Beach commended Pakistan’s immense economic potential and conveyed his delegation’s enthusiasm to explore diverse investment opportunities in Pakistan.

As per the statement, Beach acknowledged the government’s pro-investment policies and expressed confidence in the nation’s future growth trajectory.

“This high-level engagement reflects the government’s proactive efforts to attract foreign direct investment, foster sustainable economic growth, and generate employment opportunities for the people of Pakistan,” it added.

Recently, during an event at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago after the US presidential elections, Beach praised Pakistan for its resilience and sacrifices in the fight against terrorism.

“Pakistan has made tremendous sacrifices in the fight against terrorism, with thousands of lives lost to this menace. The country deserves immense recognition for its efforts,” he said.

Beach also described Pakistan as “an incredible country,” emphasising its investment-friendly environment, particularly for US investors under the Trump administration. He stated that Pakistanis are eager to work with the US on equal terms as positive partners and good friends.

In his speech, Beach urged US President Trump to strengthen ties with Pakistan, advocating for deeper collaboration and a stronger partnership between the two nations.

How come they look the same as us? Is it the Texas sun or the Mexicans have infiltrated their society far worse than had previously been thought?

emphasize on local talent and technology only seek help where you are deficient. always make contracts which you will make public and interest of local employment and economy and national interests are served with mutual benifits. All contracts should be conditioned, no party will support any oppressor, fuss creator or occupier criminal or killer of innocent at local and international levels around the globe. You can do business any one you like too.
