KARACHI: Pakistan on Friday urged Saudi Arabia to invest in agricultural research and storage infrastructure as part of a broader push for sustainable food security, according to an official statement. The call was made during a meeting between Federal Minister for National Food Security Rana Tanveer Hussain and Saudi Ambassador Nawaf bin Said Al-Malki in Islamabad, following the launch ceremony of the third phase of the Saudi Food Security Support Project in Pakistan. 'Rana Tanveer Hussain shared Pakistan's long-term vision for achieving sustainable food security through investment in agricultural research, innovation and modernized farming systems,' said the statement circulated after the meeting. 'The Minister proposed deeper collaboration between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in key areas such as joint agricultural research, technological exchange and investment in food processing and storage infrastructure,' it added. Hussain also highlighted Pakistan's commitment to improving irrigation practices and promoting climate-adaptive agriculture to address the growing challenges posed by environmental degradation. He invited Saudi investors to explore opportunities in agri-based projects, particularly in high-yield zones, and called for institutional cooperation between universities and research centers in both countries. The minister also proposed joint work on desert agriculture, seed development and water efficiency, describing them as high-impact areas for regional collaboration. Earlier, he distributed food baskets to families under the Saudi Food Security Support Project and interacted with recipients. Now in its third phase, the Saudi-backed initiative is delivering essential food supplies to thousands of households across Pakistan, providing much-needed relief amid climate-related challenges.
