The meeting was attended by Special Assistant to CM Syed Qassim Naveed Qamar, Chief Secretary Sindh Syed Asif Hyder Shah, Chairman P&D Najam Ahmed Shah, DG PPP Unit, and Abdul Azeem Uqaili CEO SEZMC.
The meeting 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.
