Islamabad, Feb 13/Nationalturk: In a move to attract investors to his country, Prime Minister of Pakistan Raja Pervez Ashraf said his country, which is battling militancy, has a friendly climate and conducive environment for foreign investment and business ventures.

“Pakistan has a friendly climate and conducive environment for foreign investment and business ventures,” Ashraf said while speaking at a dinner-cum-reception hosted by UK Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and Industry (UKPCCI) in his honour in London.

He said Pakistan is an investment-friendly country and international companies are working there smoothly, which is reflective of normal situation prevailing in the  country.

“I urge investors, businessmen and representatives of international business organizations to invest in public-private business ventures since liberal economic policies in Pakistan allowed the foreign investors to repatriate principal as well as profit without hindrance,” Ashraf said.

Negative, distorted perception needed to be countered

He said that negative and distorted perception portrayed about difficult situation in the country, needed to be countered and corrected since ground realities were contrary to that.

Pakistan is currently battling militancy and blasts, firing and explosions are taking place in the country on a daily basis and it has become a routine now.

Ashraf said Pakistan had excellent relations with the United Kingdom and both countries were determined to bolster trade to 2.5 billion pound by 2015.

Referring to his meeting with British counterpart David Cameron, he said the two sides discussed bilateral and other issues of international importance and had convergence of views in this regard.

He was on a five-day visit to UK and during his stay in the country, he met British Prime Minister and other top officials of the country. He left for Pakistan this evening.
