Islamabad, March 15, 2016 (PPI-OT): Minister of State for Board of Investment Dr. Mifta Ismail met with the Ambassador of Spain Carlos Morales at his office today. Agenda of the meeting was to increase the investment in Pakistan from Spain. Mr. Carlos said that the GSP plus is working well with Pakistan as far as Spain is concerned.
