ISLAMABAD: Addressing the Pak-Turk Business Forum in Islamabad on Friday, Prime Minister Imran Khan said Turkish businessmen had immense opportunity to invest in Pakistan.
“The object of my address to this forum as PM is to reiterate that our government will do everything to improve trade relationship with Turkey,” PM Imran Khan said while addressing the forum.
“We will be facilitating the Pakistan and Turkish business community to invest and do joint ventures, the areas that we specifically want to invite Turkish business community number one is tourism industry,” he added.
He said Pakistan could learn a lot from the way Turkish tourist industry developed, because Pakistan was one of the most untapped tourist potential land anywhere in the world. In top magazine of the United States, Pakistan was considered number one tourist destination for 2020, but it lacked the infrastructure, which in Turkey was well developed, he maintained.
