According to a statement issued by the Pakistan embassy in Washington DC, the envoy held separate meetings with business leaders, investors and corporate representatives and invited them to explore investment opportunities across diverse sectors such as the digital economy and banking services, special projects financing, agricultural technology and aviation.
