‘Pakistanis given equal employment in CPEC projects’

ISLAMABAD: Linyi Trade City Director General Wang Dong said that they were already working in Gwadar on a project where they have built an Exhibition Centre of 6,000 square meters and a warehouse of 140,000 square meters.

The project is heading towards completion and the workforce includes Chinese and Pakistani men, said Wang, adding that the perception that only Chinese have been hired by Chinese companies working on CPEC projects and in Gwadar is devoid of truth.

He expressed interest in signing a MoU with the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) for mutual cooperation in trade, investment and increasing import and export between the countries. He also invited the Pakistani businessmen to participate in China (Linyi) International Trade and Logistics Fair (CLITLF) being organised from September 23-25, 2017.
