The Pakistan-China Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCJCCI) has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening institutional linkages aimed at enhancing industrial cooperation and promoting bilateral economic progress under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) framework.
In a statement, PCJCCI President Nazir Hussain emphasised that the chamber was fully aligned with the broader vision of industrial development and stood ready to act as a dynamic platform for fostering Pakistan-China collaboration.
He underlined the dire need to establish dedicated "China desks" at various public organisations across Pakistan. These desks will act as centralised facilitation points to provide Chinese investors and enterprises with streamlined access to regulatory support, project guidance and business services.
Having China desks embedded within public institutions would significantly improve investor confidence, reduce procedural delays and align stakeholders around shared industrial goals.
PCJCCI Senior Vice President Brigadier (Retd) Mansoor Saeed Sheikh said, "We aim to integrate private-sector strengths with enabling policy frameworks. This will not only attract greater Chinese investment but also support industrial modernisation across key sectors in Pakistan."
He noted that PCJCCI would play a proactive role in facilitating access to Chinese green technologies and promoting eco-industrial transformation in the country.
PCJCCI Vice President Zafar Iqbal highlighted the longstanding industrial partnership between Pakistan and China and said "we believe in enhancing practical linkages that lead to innovation, value addition and long-term economic impact."
Joint ventures between Pakistani and Chinese companies would be encouraged in sectors such as engineering, agro-processing, renewable energy and electric vehicles. Innovation hubs and pilot industrial projects would also be explored, he stressed.
Secretary General Salahuddin Hanif stated that coordination and institutional synergy were the key to driving progress. In this regard, PCJCCI is working towards launching joint working groups, policy roundtables and industrial matchmaking sessions.
"The chamber continues to serve as a vital bridge between Pakistani industries and Chinese enterprises, with a focus on enabling investment, promoting technology transfer and enhancing competitiveness in strategic sectors," he said. "It remains committed to facilitating structured dialogue, business matchmaking and project development that will contribute to Pakistan's sustainable industrial growth and regional economic integration."
