Nawaz is going there for loans. Fancy name for projects. He wants his share, his percentages, his cuts. projects doled out to his family. conglomerates.. That is more money. All going to his off shore accounts. salman is there. taking care of business.
the only thing we pakistani are good at is signing these stpid deals,... till date we have signed hundreds of these stupid photo op deals with negligible investment... even if 33 million of this comes it would be good.. also at the cost of local industry, since almost all the manufacturing will happen in china, most of the labor will be chinese, the management will be chinese, and the profit will also go to beijing... so much for the foreign trip on tax payer money
Yo nawaz yo. Sad day for immy and his backers in UAE.
If these agreement are materialized massive investment will pour in without any effort.In ten year Pakistan will be a developed country provided there is no coup in between.Nawaz Sharif must work hard to achieve the target.
