KARACHI: Amid a gloomy economic atmosphere and lingering wheat, cotton and dollar crisis, Army Chief General Asim Munir has signalled towards the country’s bright future in view of the upcoming huge foreign investments in various sector















In a four-hour meeting with some 50 businessmen on Saturday, the army chief said during his recent visit to Saudi Arabia he had informed Mohammad Bin Salman that he had not arrived here for a $1-2 billion investment into Pakistan.


Later, the Saudi prince assured the army chief of investing $25bn in Pakistan under the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) aimed at attracting investment in the agriculture sector by offering land and ensuring exports.


Sources said the army chief has asked the Saudi prince to set aside $10bn to overcome the country’s foreign exchange issues which would be returned in rupees.



While referring to the meeting in the UAE, the army chief had also requested the UAE ruler to provide $10bn for improving foreign exchange reserves on which the UAE ruler had reportedly agreed. Another $25bn investment is also committed by the UAE ruler in case the army is with us.


Gen Asim Munir also assured businessmen of bringing $25-30bn investment from Qatar and Kuwait in his next visit to improve the country’s economy. He said that he would try to bring a total of $75-100bn investment from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait.


A businessman, who attended the meeting, said that the army chief had also disclosed levelling of lands was being done in various areas of Punjab, Sindh and other provinces to encourage foreign investment in various crops.


Sources said Gen Asim had also hinted at not going towards the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for any new programme as the fund does not give any permission to work freely and an increase in power rates was also a part of the programme.


The meeting also discussed gas, power, export and corruption along with the role of bureaucracy. On smuggling of Iranian petrol, he asked the corp commander that the Iranian petrol should not reach Karachi. The issues relating to corruption in Sindh, the culture of tax evasion, privatisation of sick SOEs, the return of illegal Afghani people to their homeland and non-filing of tax returns also came up in the discussion.


A businessman termed the meeting highly encouraging which would yield positive results at a time when the country is facing deep sugar and wheat crises and soaring dollar value against the rupee.


He said a follow-up meeting had been arranged with Corps Commander V in Karachi in light of Saturday’s meeting.


“Gen Asim Munir looks firm and optimistic to bring huge foreign investment from our Muslim countries and it will certainly make a difference in economic indicators,” he said.


The meeting was attended by Businessmen Group Chairman Zubair Motiwala, Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Tariq Yousuf, FPCCI President Irfan Iqbal Sheikh and some prominent businessmen of Karachi.

But isn't it your army generals who seem more capable in loosening the fists of foreigners to drop coin? As a famous man said, it doesn't matter if the cat is black or white if it catches mice.

The opinion of 10,000 men is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject.

- Marcus Aurelius

Notice the bold 'if'?

That's the important bit.

The above quote describes this situation perfectly.

 

[The Accountant]

This is the 5th COAS in my lifetime who has said all this. I am sure there will be a 6th and 7th too.

IF this one let Pakistan survive

IF this one let Pakistan survive

حاجی بشیر نے رات خواب دیکھا اور صبح اپنی بیوی پروین کو سنایا کہ میرے ہاتھ میں
AK47 ہے.. اور جی ایچ کیو کے گیٹ پر کھڑا ہوں دو بندے میگزین بھر بھر کے دے رہے.. اور میں فائرنگ کر رہا ہوں...
پروین نے حاجی صاحب کا خواب اپنی پڑوسن رخسانہ کو سنایا، دو دن بعد ویگو ڈالہ آیا اور حاجی صاحب کو نامعلوم مقام پر لے جا کر ان کی خوب درگت بنا کر ہفتے بعد گھر کے دروازے پر پھینک گئے....
اگلے روز دوپہر کو وہی ویگو ڈالہ دروازے پر آیا اس بار حاجی صاحب نکلے اور روتے ہوے کہنے لگے کہ میں تو بتا چکا ہوں کہ خواب دیکھا تھا اب کیا ہے
ویگو والے نے کہا وہ تو ٹھیک ہے مگر آج ہم یہ پوچھنے اۓ ہیں کہ وہ دو بندے کون تھے جو تم کو میگزین بھر بھر کر دے رہے تھے ،،
حاجی صاحب نے کہا سر وہ پروین اور رخسانہ تھیں۔

 

[Clutch]

The regime change by the duffers have already cost the country 20 billion USD and increasing with every passing day, by the minute.

Didn't any business man asked about it .

They are too scared to speak up in a Military Dictatorship of Pakistan...

 

[EternalMortal]

If this guy delivers on the promised amounts, I think Pakistanis should ditch their infatuation with elections and have this system run for a while till it bears fruits.

EVERY successful country, including China, has elections to keep the government leaders accountable, has civilian rule & most importantly the state has the support of the people.

You faujeets are completely delusional if you think ***-im can deliver anything.

But isn't it your army generals who seem more capable in loosening the fists of foreigners to drop coin? As a famous man said, it doesn't matter if the cat is black or white if it catches mice.

Yea good in scamming & blackmailing foreigners, sure. Running an economy & bringing money from overseas Pakistanis, no.

 

[PradoTLC]

If this guy delivers on the promised amounts, I think Pakistanis should ditch their infatuation with elections and have this system run for a while till it bears fruits.

yes his "deliverance"

can you give one example of his "deliverance"

except his song on U tube

 

[Hakikat ve Hikmet]

Road to the Hell is paved with good intentions....

As for this corrupt-to-the-soul traitor-at-the-heart naked-beggar-on-DC-street fake Hafiz, his life is entirely Haram, let alone intentions.....

This mother of all duffer is talking about economics, finance, investment etc. and everything else under the sun other than how to militarily defeat the TTP, BLA etc. who are roasting his forces on a daily basis!! Even crows will laugh to death...

It's more torturous than being put inside an condemn cell like IK...

Simple

We will tax the poor and you guys can keep milking the world fifth largest market

I guess he thinks the Saudis are suckers.

What the hell does he have to offer the Saudis???.... What the hell do they get in return for the $75Billion!??????..... A pile of sh** from a failed banana republic of Faujistan???

If he offers them lucrative deals like let say 30% return rate they will come.

After all it's kicking the cane down

Didn't nawaz sharif bought foreign IPPs with 20% RR

They won't come if the return is offered comparative to the region

I think it's time pakistan go into debt restructuring fast...the rating is junk anyway there is no point not doing it now it was worth it in 2020 before our triple downgrade but not anymore

 

[General Dong]

Army Chief assured success and profit to business community, he told them to just start offering Fajr ki Namaz and they will be swimming in Haram ki Kamai just like Army. Asim Munir have also said, by just offering Fajr ki Namaz they can also have their own country where they will be worshipped as God, they can get away with Murdering Journalists, creating Terrorist Organizations, making P-rn videos of Ministers and their Mothers/daughters/sister while their subordinate jerk off. Asim Munir will make Pakistan Wakanda+Atlantis all they have to do is start offering Fajr ki namaz just like Army does.

I would be surprised if these duffers even knew how to pray namaz. From what I hear, majority of generals are all whiskey drinking angrez wannabees

What's the benefit of lying so blatantly? Do they not even consider impact of such statements on bilateral ties?

 

[Olympus81]

Asim probably said.

Saudis have been told to set aside $25 bn (jaise ke MBS inke baap ka naukar hai)

10,000 jobs will be created.

You get duty free tax facility.

Make sure your employees come into tax net. For you guys its okay.

Buy the DHA properties and get water from tanker mafia operated by us.

 

[N.Siddiqui]

Fauj can win by loosing to the Awam, Fauj should loose to win Awam over.

Fauj can never win a fight with the people of the country, it would be a loss to the Fauj and to the country.
