Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif trumpeted record profits by Colgate-Palmolive Co. and Nestle SA to investors in the U.S. as he seeks to improve ties between the two nations and turn around a struggling economy.

Sharif, who will meet President Barack Obama tomorrow at the White House, told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that his government was focused on providing a secure environment for investments. Pakistan wants good relations with the U.S. and its South Asian neighbors, he said.
