ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s investment minister Qaiser Ahmed Sheikh said on Tuesday the country was fully committed to providing support to investors in a meeting with his Indonesian counterpart Rosan Roeslani, as Islamabad seeks to improve the ease of doing business.

The talks come amid a recent uptick in high-level engagement between Pakistan and Indonesia.

In December last year, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto made a rare state visit to Pakistan, with both sides signing multiple agreements and memoranda of understanding covering areas such as higher education, scholarships, small and medium enterprises, archives cooperation, anti-narcotics efforts, health and halal trade.

“The Board of Investment remains fully committed to facilitating investors, providing end-to-end support and guidance,” Sheikh said, according to an official statement.

Sheikh told the visiting Indonesian minister that the government was prioritizing investment-led growth and had launched regulatory reforms aimed at making Pakistan a more business-friendly destination.
