A key moment was when I had a productive conversation with Minister Christian Santos, where we both discussed the possibility of PBBC leading a delegation of UK and Pakistani businesses to Gibraltar in early 2025. Travel and tourism were identified as key sectors for potential collaboration. I was accompanied by my team, including Adeel Khan, Director of Trade and Investment, Amir Liaqat, Head of Media & Podcast, and Irfan Ali Atif, Associate Producer for Podcast.

This exclusive event successfully highlighted Gibraltar’s potential as a dynamic player in the global business landscape.
