Sindh CM seeks Russian support for revival of Pakistan Steel Mills

Author: Agencies

Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has sought assistance from the Russian embassy in reviving Pakistan Steel Mills, proposing the installation of a new plant to strengthen the economy and boost employment.

The request was made during a meeting with Russian Ambassador Albert P. Khorev, who was accompanied by Russian Consul General Andrey Fedorov and other officials.

Chief Minister Shah emphasised the importance of Pakistan’s relationship with Russia, highlighting that a functional steel mill could stabilise the economy and resolve employment issues for mill workers.

He also discussed the prospect of expanding bilateral trade and welcomed discussions on introducing Russian electric buses in Karachi.

In response, Ambassador Khorev expressed Russia’s willingness to support the steel mill’s revival and announced that Russian and Pakistani experts will hold online discussions next week. Following the talks, a Russian delegation is expected to visit the mill for a site assessment. Further, Russia proposed establishing a cultural centre in Sindh to promote heritage and cultural ties. The Sindh government’s Department of Culture will coordinate with Russian officials to explore this initiative.
