Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday asked the US-Pakistan Business Council to play its role in urging the US legislators the importance of providing preferential market access to Pakistani goods.
Addressing the Council’s business delegation here at a meeting, Mr Sharif expressed confidence that the Council would also continue to play an active role in sharing with the larger US business community, positive experiences of doing business with and investing in Pakistan.
He said the Pakistani nation was now on a course of realising its true potential as a democratic country with strong institutions and a vibrant economy.
He added that Pakistan was among the few places in the world that offers the promise of resources, geography and people, all at the same time. Increasing urbanisation, favourable demographics, a growing middle class and economically empowered women and youth are some of the key drivers of the growth.
The Prime Minister said US remains one of the most important economic and trading partners of Pakistan. He said leading US companies have invested billions of dollars in Pakistan and are making healthy profits.
