The Caretaker Prime Minister announced that Saudi Arabia and the Middle East will invest $25.25 billion in Pakistan over the next five years. Specifically, Saudi Arabia will invest $25 billion in sectors such as mining, agriculture, and information technology. This investment aims to boost foreign direct investment in the country. “The Middle East will also contribute $25 billion during this period,” he said.
