ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari has expressed Pakistan’s interest in expanding trade with Oman in the information technology, construction, health care, food security and energy sectors, state media reported on Wednesday.
Pakistan is actively working to deepen economic ties with Gulf nations and attract foreign investment across key sectors. With Oman positioned as a key regional player, the emphasis on expanding trade signals Islamabad’s intent to access new markets and build long-term economic collaboration.
Oman’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Fahad Sulaiman Khalaf Al Kharusi, met with Zardari to discuss ways to further strengthen bilateral cooperation, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP).
“Pakistan is keen to increase bilateral trade and investment in areas such as information technology, construction, health care, food security and energy,” APP quoted Zardari as saying.
“He stressed that government-to-government engagement would encourage robust private-sector collaboration, thereby boosting trade and investment between the two nations.”
