LAHORE: Tuwairqi Steel Mills Limited Project Director Zaigham Adil Rizvi has urged the government to create a conducive and friendly environment for manufacturers for production of value-added products.
He said that South Korea and Japan were two main countries in the world which had only human resources and not mineral resources but still they became developed countries.
On the other hand, he added, Pakistan is blessed with both human and mineral resources and has the potential to be listed among developed countries within a short span of time but unfortunately, the potential is not being used properly.
He said that the primary need to make Pakistan an industrial state is to export value-added items rather than exporting raw material.
