Karachi—We are to make our city as the best developed cities of the world like Seoul, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur in the next five years and for that we have to own our country by empowering our masses. This was stated by Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis Faruq Sattar while inaugurating the tallest building of the country Ocean Towers.

He said Karachi is the 12th fast growing city of the world according to the World Economic Forum, and this was made possible by dint of enabling the people of this city to show the versatility of Karachi to the world.

The Minister further said that this is a historic day for Karachi in terms of the gift of the tallest building being given to the public as a recreational spot. ‘It’s fun place, this project of Ocean Towers is the best model of public private partnership with the theme ‘unity in diversity’,’ he added.

He further said that Karachi contributes 60% to the national economy due its industry and ownership that means flyovers, bridges, underpasses etc. and if we need to have sustainable growth in the long run we have to own our country.

Tariq Rafi Chief Executive Officer of SiddiqSons Group and Tripple Tree Associates while speaking on the occasion said that total investment of Rs 7billion made possible for the country to have its tallest skyscraper, which also has a huge shopping centre THE MALL for the citizen of Karachi.
