KARACHI: Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah chaired a high-level meeting today to review the progress of the Dhabeji Special Economic Zone (SEZ).

It was informed that construction work at the SEZ has reached approximately 12%, while work on electrification, laying of the 10 MGD water pipeline, and gas infrastructure is almost complete .

CM Murad Ali Shah emphasized the strategic importance of the Dhabeji SEZ in positioning Sindh as a prime destination for international investors. He noted that in the aftermath of the ongoing tariff tensions between global economies, especially the U.S. and China, many Chinese manufacturers are looking to relocate or expand their operations to more cost-effective regions.

Dhabeji SEZ being a CPEC Priority Project will attract 2-3 billion dollars of investment and create 100000 direct and indirect jobs, besides enhancing the socio economic conditions in the area.

“Sindh must seize this opportunity to attract foreign industries, particularly Chinese enterprises seeking stable, business-friendly environments,” said the Chief Minister.
