Islamabad: Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Syed Asim Munir has urged all the stakeholders to play their role for the revival of the country’s economy saying, “We must never lose hope”.
Addressing the “Pakistan Minerals Summit”, the COAS invited foreign investors to play their due role in exploring the hidden reserves of Pakistan and to fully utilise this potential as the country is blessed with rich mineral resources. The army chief said there are vast mining opportunities in our country that will be realised through joint efforts.
He said the authorities will ensure an investor-friendly system to soften terms and avoid unnecessary delays.
Gen Munir said Pakistan’s first mineral summit laid down new rules of ease of doing business for domestic and foreign investors in Pakistan as mineral projects are keys to success. He said the government of Pakistan in collaboration with all the institutions assured the establishment of Special Investment Facilitation Council, which brings all the stakeholders on one platform.
The COAS said it is our social responsibility to play our role in unison for the country’s economy. The Army chief also gave references of various Quranic verses in his speech.
