KARACHI: Governor Sindh Mohammad Zubair has said the world is witnessing Pakistan as an important player in the region with the Chinese mega investment plans which will bring the country closer to Central Asian Countries with a strategic role.

Governor Sindh said that Pakistan has been changed into a different and a progressing country having a lot of potential for foreign and local investors and businessman to start and expand their business on the land of world’s new emerging economy.
He said the corporate sector and masses should alter their approach towards Pakistan as positive in tandem with visible development and peaceful scenario across the country which was made possible with the efforts of the democratic government.
He also added that “Pakistan’s economy was facing an uncertain situation in 2013. The government has worked day and night in its first three years to revive Pakistan’s economy and our hard work has put the economy on the path of prosperity. Pakistan Stock exchange is now the best stock exchange of region and its rise is a proof of the government’s successful economic policies.”

He said the government is taking solid initiatives in collaboration with local and foreign investors who believe Pakistan is a lucrative and high-returned market for them.
CEO Club Pakistan Founder & President Ijaz Nisar said, “We always quote success stories of western CEOs but do not highlight achievements of local entrepreneurs like Sohail Wajahat Siddiqui, Sohail Shams, Shazad G Dada and Muhammad Zubair. We have our own local Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Laxmi Mittal who can turn the fate and face of the country if they are provided with a conducive and friendly environment for doing business.”
