Pakistan's Federal Communications Minister Aleem Khan has invited Saudi investors to fund three major highway projects, including the long-delayed Sukkur-Hyderabad Motorway (M6), which would complete an uninterrupted motorway link stretching from Karachi Port in the south to Peshawar and onward to Gilgit in the north. The pitch was made during a meeting in Islamabad with Prince Mansour bin Muhammad Al Saud, chairman of the Saudi-Pakistan Joint Business Council, and also covered the M10 Karachi Port and M13 Kharian-Rawalpindi motorways. The outreach signals Pakistan's push to attract private foreign capital into its transport sector, with the 306-kilometre, six-lane M6 alone — a project stalled for nearly three decades — seen as a critical missing link in the country's north-south trade corridor.
