ISLAMABAD: The Investment and Climate Summit organised by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) underscored the US government’s commitment to fostering foreign direct investments (FDI), elevating bilateral trade between the two countries, and addressing Pakistan’s climate change challenges.

A key highlight of the summit was the USAID Green Alliance Gaming Challenge Awards, which celebrated the innovation of Pakistani game developers. Their creation raises awareness about critical climate issues and contributes to the country’s growing gaming industry.

The event witnessed the presentation of grant completion certificates to Pakistani firms that successfully implemented USAID grants, showcasing the efficacy of these initiatives in facilitating economic partnerships and attracting FDI.

USAID’s Mission Director Kate Somvongsiri presented the Pakistan Investment Guide to Secretary Board of Investment Sohail Rajput.
