The Silk Road Fund of China has expressed interest in exploring additional investment opportunities in Pakistan, including infrastructure, energy, private sector development and projects capable of generating broader economic and social impact.

This interest was shown during a meeting between Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb and a high-level delegation of the Silk Road Fund led by its Chairperson, Ms. Zhu Jun in Islamabad today.

The Finance Minister welcomed the delegation and briefed the participants on Pakistan's recent economic progress, including improvements in fiscal discipline, external account stability, foreign exchange reserves and the overall macroeconomic outlook.

He said greater collaboration with leading international investment institutions such as SRF can support capital formation, infrastructure development and the expansion of productive economic activity.
