In this vlog, Vicky Agha discusses the recent visit of Mohammad bin Salman to Pakistan and the economic breakthrough that it turned out to be for Pakistan. He says it isn't a personal achievement of some leader but economic agreements between two countries.
- Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman’s recent Pakistan visit
- was undoubtedly a great economic breakthrough
- and the beginning of foreign direct investment in Pakistan
- Govt stance on this and the impression being built in media
- is that a particular leader is responsible for this investment
- Has the global perspective become so minute
- that countries are investing in other countries
- because certain persons are ruling those countries
- and they’d only invest when their favourites are ruling?
- This is not the case
- Such decisions are taken in accordance with financial interests
- The main reason behind this investment is CPEC
- because CPEC has become a reality today
- and the world now considers Pakistan a major investment avenue
- Govt needs to make sure that the multi-segment investment MoUs
- worth USD 20bn are turned into agreements
- and when the agreements are signed, it should work
- on the investments and their execution
- The environment in the region is ripe for this purpose
- It can be a joint economic activity for the entire world
- So looking at this investment in personal perspective is incorrect
- These are economic interests
- and are more important than personalities
