Investment Diplomacy & Public Policy Specialist Muhammad Azfar Ahsan briefed Pakistan’s Minister for Finance & Revenue, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, on GLOBAL CONNECT, a flagship initiative aimed at unlocking investment opportunities, enhancing economic collaboration, and strengthening Pakistan’s international partnerships.
During the meeting, the Finance Minister appreciated the initiative and assured his full support, along with complete facilitation from the Ministry of Finance. He acknowledged GLOBAL CONNECT’s potential to contribute meaningfully to Pakistan’s economic and investment landscape.
Headquartered in Islamabad, GLOBAL CONNECT has established a strategic presence across major global markets, including the Middle East (Riyadh, Abu Dhabi); Central Asia (Tashkent, Astana); Africa (Cairo, Nairobi); China (Beijing, Hong Kong); the Americas (Washington, New York, Toronto); Turkey (Istanbul); and the United Kingdom (London). This extensive global footprint enables strong connectivity between businesses, institutions, academia, and key economic and commercial hubs worldwide.
As a forward-looking and action-oriented platform, GLOBAL CONNECT brings together policymakers, senior corporate leaders, academia, and global investors to foster economic cooperation, spotlight high-potential sectors, and promote long-term, meaningful partnerships across regions. The initiative aims to serve as a credible bridge between Pakistan and the international community, facilitating investment, trade, knowledge exchange, and sustained economic growth.
