The Federation Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) has extended an invitation to Chinese investors across various sectors, urging them to explore investment and joint venture opportunities in Pakistan.

In a recent meeting with a delegation of Chinese investors, Karim Aziz Malik, Chairman of FPCCI Capital Office, emphasized that now is an ideal time for Chinese investors to capitalize on investment opportunities in Pakistan. The delegation was led by Zhang Yang, Director of Chongjiang Federation of Investment and Commerce and Chairman of Chang Jiang Management Company.

During the meeting, Malik highlighted the attractive incentives and liberal policies that Pakistan offers for investment in all sectors. He emphasized that these incentives, available in both special and traditional sectors, provide significant opportunities for local and foreign investors to maximize their profits.

The discussion also touched on Pakistan’s top exportable items, which include textiles, rice, pink salt, plastic articles, and gemstones. Malik specifically invited Chinese investors to explore the growing sector of pink salt for potential investment and joint ventures. Pakistan is the world’s sole producer of pink salt, and the global market for pink salt is valued at approximately $12 billion.
