"I told them (his hosts in US) that we do not believe in seeking help or loan at all... We want partnership on public-private basis... n areas where we have a competitive edge and attraction for foreign investors," he said.The Nazim said that Karachi and Houston, both port cities, were declared as sister-cities after signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU), and a delegation from Houston would soon arrive in Karachi for making investment in the metropolis, which is economic and intellectual hub of the country.
Kamal said that, on his invitation, the visit of the businessmen from Houston would be followed by Houston Mayor Bill White's visit. The city nazim said that Karachi and Washington DC would soon sign an MoU on giving the two cities sisters status. He said the proposal came from the Mayor of Washington DC although US administration signs such MoUs with capital cities.
Kamal said his visit to the US was on reciprocal basis during which he motivated the American investors to be engaged in the metropolis as a result of which a delegation of US investors would soon visit Karachi.Terming recent visit of top American officials to his office and the invitation from the State Department as an honour for Karachiites, the nazim said that developments indicated that the international community had recognised the importance of Karachi as a developing and strategically important city.
The city nazim met with top US officials including Assistant Secretary of State Richard Boucher, US Ambassador to the United Nations Zalmay Khalilzad, congressmen, US think-tanks, mayors and deputy mayors of Houston and Washington DC and other prominent personalities, and termed his visit as successful.
Kamal said he had also met the Mayor of Chicago and agreed to promote mutual cooperation in the field of technology transfer and economic development.To a query that whether the country's political environment was favourable for foreign investment the nazim said: "We are living in a challenging world, facing many hardships, but this should not stop the process of development.
