KARACHI: Sindh Senior Minister and Provincial Minister for Information, Transport and Mass Transit, Sharjeel Inam Memon, has said that a large number of investors from Pakistan and China participated in the investment conference held in Shanghai by the Government of Sindh.

During the conference, investment opportunities in Sindh were highlighted, and a total of 34 memorandums of understanding (MoUs) were signed in various sectors, including 10 agreements at the government-to-government (G2G) level and 24 agreements between business entities at the business-to-business (B2B) level.

In a video statement, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon said that during the conference, MoUs were signed in various sectors to promote Pakistan-China business cooperation, including energy, coal, universities, and other important sectors. He said Pakistan-China friendship holds immense importance for Pakistan and the entire region, while economic cooperation between the two countries can play an important role in improving the economy and creating new opportunities for development.
