Information Minister Ataullah Tarar said on Friday that the opposition to the government could not accept the “successful visits” that the new administration was making to attract investment opportunities in an effort to boost the economy, just a day after the United Arab Emirates (UAE) announced allocating $10 billion for additional investments in Pakistan.
“We discuss trade and investments everywhere we go. Accompanied by Commerce Minister Jam Kamal, the minister declared during a press conference in Islamabad, “We do not talk about loans or grants.”
A day prior, the minister had made a visit to the Gulf state, where he met with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the president, in Abu Dhabi with the aim of encouraging investments in Pakistan.
