"To all those parties looking at Pakistan today as it begins it’s uphill journey, my message from the World Government Summit is: this is the time to invest in Pakistan, don’t miss the boat
during the World Government Summit, “Invest now in Pakistan while you can, while it is still at the beginning of it’s upswing. Don’t miss the boat,” he added.
The former cricket star added, ""As we create wealth, we will use that money to bring people out of poverty, encouraging equitable growth."
