He assured full cooperation for the smooth operation of the Malaysian airline and emphasized that the nation must work together for Pakistan’s progress. He noted that the entry of the airline will enhance Karachi’s standing on the global aviation map, calling it a reflection of international trust and opportunity aligned with the Government of Pakistan’s broader vision.
‘This development is not just an air connection,’ he said, ‘but a firm step toward Pakistan’s integration into the global economy and aviation network.’
The Governor also highlighted the potential benefits of the new air link, including increased tourism, trade, and cultural exchange. ‘It will open new doors for economic activity, generate employment opportunities, and further promote people-to-people ties between Pakistan and Malaysia,’ he added.
The Malaysian Consul General and the CEO of the airline expressed their gratitude to the Government of Pakistan and Governor Sindh for their support and hospitality. They reaffirmed their commitment to providing world-class service and enhancing connectivity between the two countries.
