British High Commissioner Jane Marriott recently said that the United Kingdom is ready to support Pakistan in reaching its goal of becoming a $2 trillion economy. She made these remarks while speaking at the Leaders in Islamabad Business Summit.
Marriott highlighted that the UK is committed to building even stronger ties with Pakistan, especially in the areas of finance, education, energy, and healthcare.
She shared that if Pakistan continues with economic reforms and maintains stability, it could achieve major progress and growth. The current trade between the UK and Pakistan is worth £4.4 billion, and there is a strong plan to double this figure in the coming years.
Jane Marriott also pointed out that the UK is not only focused on trade but also investing in key sectors that affect the lives of everyday people.
One such example is a $45 million programme already being implemented to support clean energy and reforms in the social sector. This includes improving access to education, better healthcare services, and efforts to promote sustainability.
She emphasized that the UK and Pakistan share similar goals and values, and both are working closely to achieve them together. According to her, the relationship between the two nations is growing stronger, and both countries are moving forward as strategic partners.
This support from the UK could play an important role in helping Pakistan build a stronger economy and improve the quality of life for its people. With continued cooperation, trade, and investment, the future of UK-Pakistan relations looks positive and promising. The summit served as a platform to discuss these goals and highlight opportunities for both countries to work together for mutual benefit.
