Speaking at the 35th Annual General Meeting of Pakistan Textile Exporters Association (PTEA), the minister said that due to a favourable business environment, local and foreign investors were investing in Punjab. The government has set up 23 small industrial estates in Punjab within a span of three years, he said, adding that 13 Special Economic Zones were also being established in the province.
