@ali ahmed: "two brothers on investment trip..for shareef empire"
Can you back up your statement with facts? Or you are just another IK fan boy? Today ECNEC has approved projects worth more than a trillion PKR. At least give NS and his team some time. I am not a fan of PMLN and their ideology, but I do appreciate their efforts. They are serious this time because they have seen what happened to PPP.
two brothers on investment trip..for shareef empire
@ahmed it's just you. the baloch CM is there.
@Jayesh: if we can get indians to read our newspapers, then surely we can get the chinese to invest in our country!
"Shahbaz Sharif seeks investors for Punjab in China visit" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Can we shift Gwadar to Punjab?
"He maintained that Pakistanis were a talented nation and he is sure that the country can make rapid progress like China under the dynamic and sagacious leadership of Nawaz." ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Chairman Nawaz.
Punjab CM is inviting investors for his province. On the other hand, stakeholders in Sind are busy collecting extortion money thru their Namaloom Afrad
Is it just me or the chief ministers from other privinces not on this tour?
I don't think that chinese investors can get much return for there investment in pakistan.
