Yea, I am really interested but .......... afraid ................. ................
Very true that Pakistan has tremendous potential for supplying items to Qatar and also for Qatari investors. After Iran, Pakistan is the closest country from where all types livestock, agricultural and manufactured goods can be imported. There were will considerable savings in freight due to the shorter distance between the two countries. With the opening of the Gawadar port which will be operational soon, the distance between Pakistan and Qatar will just be a hop. The savings in freight costs, can be passed on to consumers.
I had been searching for a Qatari investor for several years as I had an idea up in my mind for starting a very lucrative business in Pakistan that would give fast returns, but have been unlucky in this respect. I will keep on trying to see if anyone would be interested.
