Shahbaz shareef would discuss matter related to Thar coal, Gaddani and Gawader I think he should change his designation to deputy PM and save all the fuss..
I hope they raise the issue that our muslim brothers and sisters are facing in Xinjiang, China. But again, it's PML-N, so I should not expect such things from them! Prove me wrong?
Do we have am embassy in China?
Doesn't seem to work though.
Every time the government even think of a dialogue, instead of the embassy doing the required, the political leadership along with the favorite cronies have to run to China themselves.
All on funds that could be used on the IDPS instead,
But then if they don't travel, how will the 'democratically elected' leaders and their dubiously appointed cronies will party?
Shahbaz is in the province but involved in the center.
Other relatives are already there in the royal court. The daughter, the daughter's father in law, son in law, nephew and other friends and family.
Therefore the government is one big happy family, in one big happy party.
The country is at war, but the political leadership is engrossed in its own world.
Mr Shahbaz leading this delegation, as well as lead in other central govt. initiatives, I wonder if Shahbaz should resign his post as CM and join the central government. Or one is to assume that central and the Punjab government are one now!
I have never seen the Chinese media use such flowery words and phrases. The love is for sure, totally one-sided. The sooner, Pakistan loses its blinkers, the better, else it will be a big heart-break soon.
Please push the economic corridor implemented as soon as possible....
This is a great initiative
Also please ensure a proper law and order system so our chinese friends can feel secure about making additional investments
