Very important to deliver a clear policy in the keynote. With the business community and heads of state from across the globe present, the PM should insist upon in his keynote how welcoming Pakistan and new policies are for investments. Good luck to PM

We trust you but you have to increase production and export soon, and cut on the imports. All imports without which our country can survive are to be stopped at least for coming few years to give boost to our local industries.

A hard-working prime minister...As an all-rounder in cricket, he used to change the face of the game from the get-go. On the political turf, we should give him some time, to dig in, take a stance and play some memorable "innings" for Pakistan..

I hope and pray that PM Imran will give a speech that should mention that Pakistan is on the right track and has professional and competent people .
The present government will bring peace and stability in the region and also bring the key world powers more close so that the interests of each other is respected. Pakistan will protect the interests of foreign investors .
PM Imran should avoid mentioning the previous corruption issues as it creates doubts on new investors.

Imran Khan is on the right track. Let us give him some reasonable time (2 to 3 years) and then see where we are. Those who are expecting some miracles in 100 days are naive.
