Owners of vaccine manufacturing companies in Pakistan also participated in the meeting. The delegation appreciated Pakistan’s vaccine manufacturing capabilities and the performance of its pharmaceutical industry.
The delegation praised the Government of Pakistan’s revolutionary initiatives in the health sector and the current business environment, saying that with mutual cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, both countries would become self sufficient in the field of vaccines.
On the other hand, Mustafa Kamal said that cooperation between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in the health sector would set an example for the region and that local vaccine production would save valuable foreign exchange.
