Overview

• The committee is co-chaired by Senator Musadik Masood Malik and SIFC national coordinator Lt. Gen. Sarfraz Ahmed.
• Membership draws from key economic ministries and regulators, including commerce, energy, food security, IT, SECP, SBP, FBR, and Pakistan’s embassy in Riyadh.
• Co-chairs will set up core negotiation teams, members must be available from Oct. 6, and PMO-approved travel is to be cleared within one hour.
• Officials say the mandate extends cooperation beyond defence and energy to climate and environmental protection under a broadened economic framework.
• Sources report Pakistan will seek Saudi investment in oil and agriculture using buy-back proposals, revive a long-delayed refinery plan, cut a roughly $3 billion trade gap, and may schedule a late-October prime ministerial visit to pursue agreements.
