During the discussion, Federal Minister stated that the protection of local manufacturers was highly significant for the development of the local industry. He highlighted that although it would not be feasible to compete in the manufacturing of solar panels, we can work on competitive manufacturing of other components of the solar system both for exports and domestic requirements.
It was agreed to develop a thorough plan to start groundwork in this regard. He highlighted that overseas Pakistanis were our greatest asset and their facilitation was among the top priorities of the incumbent government under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan. He said that the Ministry was working on a thorough strategy to develop effective coordination with our vibrant and highly skilled diaspora for the transfer of technology and product development.
