The Prime Minister lauded DP World’s contribution to enhancing Pakistan’s trade and logistics infrastructure. He reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to expediting the implementation of intergovernmental agreements signed with DP World.
He informed the DP World Chairman that Pakistan, through the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), has streamlined investment procedures, making them more transparent and investor-friendly.

He also briefed the Prime Minister about the allocation of a dedicated exhibition hall in the UAE to showcase Pakistani products. This initiative, he noted, would enhance market access and increase the visibility of Pakistani goods in the UAE.
Welcoming this initiative, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed optimism about the growing trade and investment ties between Pakistan and DP World.
