Inter-ministerial cooperation indispensable for Blue Economy: says Maritime Minister
ISLAMABAD, Jul 15 (APP):Minister for Maritime Ali Zaidi Monday said the the Blue Economy in Pakistan has a huge potential to generate billions of dollars for the country and inter-ministerial cooperation was indispensable to achieve that goal.
Chairing the first meeting of Committee on Blue Economy recently formed by Prime Minister Imran Khan here, the minister said that globally, the Blue Economy was measured to be of approximately twenty three trillion dollars.
Pakistan’s potential to have a major share in the pie could be guaged by our geographical position which was at the crossroads of major economic sea routes, he added.
Emphasizing the importance of Maritime sector, Ali Zaidi said, our 1100KM coastline was blessed with enormous natural resources ready to be harnessed but unfortunately, this sector has been a victim of utter negligence of the previous governments.
