Aziz Ahmad Khan, who served as HC to India from 2003 to 2006, gave an account of Ratan Tata’s visit to Pakistan. Notably, Aziz Khan made these remarks in a discussion with Tariq Zameer, who served as Pak’s Ambassador to Sweden, and Finland. In an Ambassadors’ lounge discussion, the former Envoy said that Tata Owner had visited Pakistan with his group of directors for Investment. “There was a time when there was so much interest in India on investment in Pakistan. I recall that Tata Group came in a big way to Pakistan. Even Ratan Tata paid a visit here with his 5 directors. He visited very quietly and neither Indian nor Pakistani media were aware of it. He met the senior officials here regarding investments and at that time I put lots of effort so that Tata Group was flush with money and they were very keen to invest in Pakistan,” said Aziz Ahmad Khan, Former Pakistan HC to India. Aziz Ahmad Khan also claimed that Ratan Tata visited Pakistan “very quietly” and no media houses in India, or Pakistan were aware of it. However, Ratan Tata didn’t succeed in his plan as there was complete silence on investment from Pakistan. “There were lots of things they wanted to do and I was very excited about it also. I was very happy as they would revamp the hotel businesses. Later, they return to India. There was a silence on investment from our side. Tata took their money and invested in Land Rover and other things. They wanted to invest in Pakistan and that was their preference. Such things should be given importance.
