According to an official statement, the delegation, led by APM Terminals’ Senior Director, outlined Maersk’s long-term plans to strengthen its footprint in Pakistan’s maritime and supply chain sectors. The company described the investment as mutually beneficial, citing Pakistan’s strategic location and growing trade needs.
Welcoming the delegation, the finance minister said the government was committed to extending maximum facilitation to global investors. He added that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Finance Ministry were aligned in their efforts to accelerate foreign investment inflows.
