The Government of the United States has partnered with the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (GoKP) to organize a ‘Zameen Mela’ (Land Fair) supporting economic growth and development here at a local hotel on Tuesday. The event was aimed to encourage public interest in land registration in the Merged Areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), showcase the more accessible and simplified land registration process, and highlight the growing opportunities in the province’s real estate market. Following the merger of KP and the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas, the KP government and development partners are re-imagining land registration and real estate and driving economic development. The Zameen Mela brought together key players from the real estate industry, government, media and local communities to discuss and promote land registration and investment in these areas. Addressing on the occasion, US Consul General Shante Moore reaffirmed the commitment of the US government to support KP’s economic development, stating, “Together, we’re working toward a future where every person in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, especially in the Merged Areas, can thrive and prosper.”
