Addressing business community at the Hyderabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (HCCI) on Tuesday, he said German-made turbines for power generation were already functioning in various projects of Pakistan and now investors desired to tap the wind power sector. “German companies want to work in Pakistan on the pattern of companies of the US, UK and France,” he added.
