ISLAMABAD:

The Suki Kinari Hydropower Project in the north-western part of Pakistan achieved dam capping this week, marking its entry into a new construction stage.

The successful capping of the concrete dam on Kunhar River will help advance the construction of power station, located in Mansehra district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, under CPEC.

Calling the capping a key milestone of the 884-megawatt hydropower project, Chen Jiangbo, Deputy Manager of Suki Kinari Hydropower Project of China Gezhouba Group Company Ltd, which invests in and implements the project, attributed the achievement to the joint efforts made by the Chinese and Pakistani constructors despite multiple challenges.

Pakistan will give naval bases military bases air bases and drone bases to China and in return China will move hundreds of thousands of factories to Pakistan s Special Economic Zones for manufacturing. Pakistan will always stand with China no matter what. I had asked western countries a lot to move millions of factories to Pakistan but they all suckers refused to move their factories to Pakistan and now it is Pakistan s turn and I will make sure that China become a superpower . I will try everything in my capacity and in my power to benefit China whatever wherever and whenever China wants. Mark my words and mark them well I will always stand with China no matter what . Western countries made a very big mistake by not moving its industries to Pakistan and now they will pay dearly. Believe me.
