Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif said his government aims to attract billions of dollars in investment in the agriculture sector from the GCC countries, according to the Associated Press of Pakistan news agency.
On Twitter, Sherif tweeted that GCC countries import agricultural materials and products worth up to $40 billion annually.
Such a step would be taken under the auspices of the Special Investment Facilitation Board, which had been prepared for its formation.
In the next four to five years, there will be about $40 billion in investment and four million new jobs.
Sharif noted that during the National Symposium on Agriculture and Food Security held on Monday, he stressed the importance of revitalizing agriculture as the signal of a second green revolution.
