Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday, assuring all-out facilitation to Chinese investors, and security of Chinese individuals, projects and investments in Pakistan, emphasised that mutually rewarding business-to-business cooperation was key to a bright future for the two people.
The prime minister, addressing the Pakistan-China Business Forum during his five-day China visit, highlighted bilateral trade and investment potential, especially in key sectors including transfer of Chinese technology, industry and partnership in IT, agriculture, mining, steel, textiles and renewable energy.
The premier repeatedly lauded the Chinese model of development and economic transformation and vowed to replicate the same in Pakistan.
“I will go back to Pakistan with this resolve, come what may, we will follow this model of great economic transformation in Pakistan,” he told the gathering of hundreds of business leaders from both countries.
“This model is enough to copy and simulate if we are sincere to our purpose and people. By God, I can tell you this is difficult but not impossible.”
As the Business Forum also marked the B2B matchmaking, he urged the Pakistani businessmen to sit with their Chinese counterparts and find out ways to move Chinese textile industries to Pakistan and make collaborations in steel and other industries.
