Senate’s Standing Committee on Commerce Convener Dr Karim Ahmed Khawaja on Tuesday said the Pakistanis who migrated to other countries at the time of Partition should be attracted to invest in the country. He said at the time of partition, hundreds of families migrated to Europe and Arab countries and established their businesses abroad. “Pakistani billionaires living abroad specially in Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Australia, and India should be facilitated and given maximum opportunities to invest in Pakistan”, Dr Karim Khawaja said while chairing the committee on Tuesday. Senator Haji Saifullah Bangish, Vice Chancellor Sindh University Nisar Ahmed Mughul and other officials attended the meeting. Mughul informed the committee that Pakistani people who migrated to the US are serving in different fields including Engineering, medical and education in the US. Dr Khawaja said that overseas Pakistanis should be attracted to invest in Pakistan through Interior Ministry, Foreign Ministry and commercial attaches abroad. “If overseas Pakistanis use their sources in Pakistan, the country can get rid of depending on other countries and loan providing international institutions.”
