ISLAMABAD — British High Commissioner Jane Marriott has urged Pakistani business leaders to look toward the UK as a key destination for future investments, promising an environment ripe for innovation and long-term returns.
Addressing a gathering of entrepreneurs this week, Marriott highlighted the UK’s focus on emerging industries such as renewable energy, fintech, education, and healthcare. She assured that British policymakers are committed to creating new avenues for Pakistani investors and companies seeking to establish a foothold in Europe.
“Pakistan and the UK already have strong people-to-people connections,” Marriott said. “By expanding trade and investment into newer sectors, we can multiply our shared success.” The envoy underlined the British High Commission’s role in facilitating partnerships, visas, and local business matchmaking events.
Economic analysts view the initiative as an effort to strengthen commercial ties in the wake of Brexit, with Pakistan becoming a priority market under Britain’s global trade strategy.
Business representatives attending the event expressed interest in learning more about incentive schemes, tax relief, and guidance on navigating the UK’s legal and commercial requirements.
With promising prospects and official backing, this latest outreach could pave the way for greater economic collaboration between the two countries.
