Nishat Group Chairman Mian Muhammad Mansha has agreed to explore investment opportunities in a proposed new port project in Pakistan, signalling potential private sector participation in the country’s maritime infrastructure development.
The development was shared by Federal Minister for Maritime Affairs Muhammad Junaid Anwar Chaudhry after meeting Mansha on Friday. Discussions focused on attracting private investment to expand Pakistan’s port capacity.
The proposed port is expected to support export-oriented industries and help the country utilise its export potential. According to the minister, additional port facilities could also create employment opportunities, encourage economic activity and strengthen Pakistan’s position as a regional trade and logistics hub.
Chaudhry highlighted the importance of private sector investment in mobilising funds, introducing modern technologies and expanding maritime infrastructure. He added that the government aims to facilitate domestic and foreign investors interested in the sector.
