QUETTA: The government of Pakistan is pursuing a proactive policy to promote foreign investments in the country, Balochistan Board of Investment and Trade (BBoIT) Chief Executive Farman Zarkoon said on Wednesday.

“Balochistan has become very important in the current international economic situation. Due to its geographical importance and abundant mineral resources, Balochistan is a fertile ground for investment,” he added.

Pakistan’s emerging economy is proving to be very supportive of foreign investments, the BBoIT chief said.

“The government of Balochistan under the leadership of Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan Alyani has realised the need for development that it is based on the promotion of investment and trade activities,” Mr Zarkoon said.
