ISLAMABAD: A delegation under the auspicious of JS Global and led by Governor Sindh Muhammad Zubair met with officials of the US treasury and department of foreign affairs during a visit to the US.

Zubair during the meeting said that investment by China in China-Pakistan Economic Corridor projects does not mean US investor?s confidence is Pakistan has lessened.

On Thursday, while speaking at a reception hosted by the Consul General of Pakistan in New York, the governor said the visit has helped enhance the confidence of American investors.

Zubair said that the very purpose of the visit was to apprise American investors and businessmen of the factual situation as well as the ground realities and to attract them to invest. Pakistan provides a very conducive, business-friendly and profitable environment, he said.

He stated that the delegation's meeting with the office bearers of the New York Stock Exchange was very encouraging and the two-day investment conference remained quite positive.

Governor Sindh was of the view that US investors and businessmen were keen to invest in Pakistan but seemed reluctant owing to a negative perception which, in fact, was contrary to the ground realities.

Pakistan is seeing a wide range of business, economic, cultural and literary activities, Zubair informed US officials.

The Governor said that US investment would help overcome unemployment and poverty and will also help foster bilateral ties.
