of Sindh, Syed Muhammad Nihal Hashmi highlighted the potential to strengthen the economic partnership between Pakistan and Germany through trade, investment, and industrial cooperation. This was stated during an important meeting with the German Consul General, Thomas E. Schultze, at the Governor’s House today.
Sindh is considered an important province for investment and industry in Pakistan, and can offer vast opportunities for German investors. Highlighting the significance of the province, the Governor reiterated the government’s commitment to providing full support to foreign investors.

In conclusion, both officials reiterated their commitment to deepening bilateral relations and enhancing cooperation in various sectors.
