“This conference will give leverage to industrial cooperation and boost the spirit of partnership in Pakistani and Chinese investors,” Memon reaffirmed.
During the conference, dialogue sessions would also be held among Chinese think tanks and intellectuals/experts and their Pakistani counterparts including professionals from the academia, so that maximum information on CPEC can be disseminated to the stakeholders.
