Pakistan is the best place to invest in given its geographical location and lands full of natural resources, said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday.

"Measures against terrorism have yielded positive results, resulting in improvement in law and order and internal situation of the country," the premier said while addressing the business community in Davos, Switzerland.

"Pakistan has been experiencing economic stability in the country as economic development is linked with peace and security."

Sharif said the country's current GDP growth rate of 4.2 percent would cross the five- percent rate, Radio Pakistan reported.

The premier further said that the government believes in transparency in the policies of governance, and Pakistan is on its way to self-reliability.

 

"Pakistan is a confident and secure country," he maintained.
