In a high-level meeting, Russian representative Mr. Denis Nazaroof met with Mr. Haroon Akhtar Khan, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, to explore the prospects of collaboration in the steel sector.

The two sides held detailed talks and agreed to form a joint working group aimed at developing and executing the proposed steel mill project.

Mr. Khan reaffirmed Pakistan's commitment to fostering foreign investment, emphasizing Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s vision of expanding economic opportunities through international partnerships.

Highlighting Pakistan’s emergence as a strong and secure investment destination, Mr. Khan encouraged Russian businesses to consider opportunities within the country.
