The Pakistan Regional Economic Forum (PREF) and Saudi Bridge have signed a Strategic Memorandum of Understanding to establish the “Saudi–Pakistan Bridge Initiative”, a structured bilateral platform designed to accelerate private sector investment flows, market entry, and cross-border economic partnerships between Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and other regional countries.

Signed in Riyadh in the presence of senior government and institutional leadership, the MoU establishes a long-term framework aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, focused on moving beyond general cooperation toward operational execution and measurable outcomes. The Initiative will function as a standing activation platform, enabling transaction-oriented collaboration between investors, enterprises, funds, and ecosystem stakeholders.

Covering priority sectors including energy, mining, sports goods manufacturing, logistics, food and agri-processing, healthcare, technology, industrial manufacturing, construction, and strategic services, the platform will roll out sector-focused delegations, market-entry and soft-landing programs, regulatory workshops, joint investment forums, and a One-Stop Bridge Desk to support bilateral engagement over its initial three-year term.
