Speaking to overseas Pakistanis at the Pakistan Embassy in Doha, Qatar, during his two-day visit to the Gulf state, the minister said that overseas Pakistanis had a key role to play in the country’s economy, and soon the expats would be given a favourable investment climate in their own country.

During his interaction with Qatari dignitaries, the minister emphasised on the need to increase bilateral economic, security and cultural cooperation.
