Pakistan and Qatar have signed a protocol confirming $3 billion in Qatari investment through the @Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) to strengthen economic cooperation across key sectors.
The signing took place during the Sixth Session of the Pakistan-Qatar Joint Ministerial Commission in Islamabad, attended by Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan and Qatar’s Minister of Commerce and Industry Sheikh @Faisal bin Thani Al Thani.
The agreement emphasises direct coordination between the QIA and Pakistan’s @Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) to streamline investment and enhance collaboration in transport, health, education, and technology.
Both countries agreed to explore partnerships in green public transport, aviation, and infrastructure projects, including the Kharian–Rawalpindi (M-13) and Karachi–Hyderabad motorways. Education and health cooperation will expand through new MoUs on vocational training and medical exchanges, while cultural ties will grow via a “Year of Culture” programme.
Officials said the protocol reflects a shared commitment to advancing trade, tourism, and digital innovation between Pakistan and Qatar.
