Foreign investors assured of secure business in Pakistan

PARIS, May 5 (APP): Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani Wednesday urged the foreign businessmen not to fall for the propaganda about security situation in Pakistan and rather invest in diverse sectors for securing tremendous dividends. He was responding to a query during a Q&A session with the heads of multi-national companies and French and Pakistani businessmen at the office of MEDEF - Mouvement des Entreprises de France (Movement of the French Enterprises), the largest union of employers in France. Gilani said the perception about Pakistan did not match with the on-ground situation. He urged the western media not to portray Pakistan's negative image but focus on the real picture of the challenges which the country was facing while fighting the issues of terrorism and extremism. The prime minister encouraged the French businessmen to visit Pakistan and see themselves the state of foreign corporations working well in the country under secure conditions. He said it was not the job of a single country to continue fighting the menace of terrorism, rather the entire world had the responsibility to overcome it through joint efforts.
