ISLAMABAD:

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday directed the authorities concerned to facilitate all Chinese investors, who were setting up industries in Pakistan, and resolve their issues related to road connectivity and provision of utilities on an emergency basis.

The prime minister met Chinese business delegation led by Chen Yan from Challenge Fashion (Pvt) Ltd, a statement said. The Chinese businessmen told the prime minister that they were almost ready to start their operations in the glass, ceramics and information technology sectors.

Premier Imran said that Pakistan and China were connected not only in the past or present but would remain united through their future generations too. “We will support Chinese businesses in Pakistan on a priority basis,” he told the Chinese delegation.

The prime minister thanked the Chinese businessmen for their keen interest in accelerating investment in special economic zones (SEZs). “We appreciate the valuable relationship of the peoples of the two countries,” he added.

The meeting was also attended by Energy Minister Hammad Azhar, Adviser on Commerce Razak Dawood, prime minister’s special assistants Dr Shahbaz Gill and Khalid Mansoor and Chinese Ambassador Nong Rong.

In his remarks, Ambassador Nong expressed his pleasure over the resolution of several issues of Chinese businessmen following their meeting with the prime minister on September 13. He added that the Chinese entrepreneurs were encouraged and hoping for a great progress after this meeting.

A Chinese entrepreneur, representing OPPO, told the meeting that his company had already been present in Pakistan for more than seven years. He said OPPO was going to establish a local mobile manufacturing unit and a research and development centre in Pakistan.(With input from APP)

samir sardana | 3 years ago | Reply For Pakistan it is key to ELIMINATE India from Central Asia.The pipedream of the Chaiwala of the gas and energy corridor from Central Asia and Russia is now blown to smithreens - but the Bania will not give up What the Indian vermin will do next is to tap the energy and convert it to power as gas corridors are unviable - which is easy and several Indian PSUs like NTPC etc and PGC can set up power plants and grids in Central Asia. Then the Chaiwala will set up industries in Central Asia to use that power to OBVIATE IMPORTS INTO CENTRAL ASIA AND ALSO MAKE IT AN EXPORT HUB - using the entire matrix of SEZs etc.Chaiwala might also set up industries in Central Asia to target the export market of Pakistan. Which is Y Chaiwala and India has to be eliminated. Therefore the plan of Chaiwala can be replicated by PRC and CPEC whereby the Power capacities and Grid capacity and efficiency is raised exponentially in Central Asia to make consumer Goods for Central Asians fed by intermediate inputs supplied by CPEC and transported by the electric grid. Similarly energy intensive intermediates required by CPEC to make export goods for US EU can be imported from the PRC funded Central Asian SEZs The PRC Central Asian SEZ can also feed the Russian Federation. So we have a natrix of SEZs and Rakes E-powered across Central Asia.Once the gas is used up - Chaiwala will have no gas to build a gas corridor. Pakistan and PRC have to erase the Indian entity from the map.Jiye Jiye Pakistan Indians have to make toilets for their people - as a first step - that is the 1st verse of the Book of Genesis Chaiwala is the largest gas producer in the world - he had gassed all his life - from the Rs 15 lacs for every dumb Indian Indians still vote for this gaspot - whose place was in the shit pot where he was born - as a result of a prolapsed uterus
