Their pavilions will showcase “potential and investment opportunities in country’s maritime sector.” PIMEC will offer a great chance to foreign delegates, government officials, and maritime stakeholders to interact and forge lasting partnerships and investments.
In the curtain raiser briefing, the media was also told that the International Maritime Conference (IMC) will run in parallel; “a two-day event scheduled from 4 to 5 Nov 25, will be organized by the National Institute of Maritime Affairs (NIMA).”
PIMEC was first launched in 2023 under the patronage of Pakistan Navy, and managed by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs. The goal of this event is to attract investment in the country’s maritime sector and capitalize upon blue economy potential in a sustainable way.
Established in December 2008, The Diplomatic Insight is Pakistan’s premier diplomacy and foreign affairs magazine, available in both digital and print formats.
