BEIJING – Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Sunday vowed that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led federal government would ensure implementation of effective measures to facilitate investors in Pakistan.
He addressed Pakistan and China Investment Forum in Beijing, and pledged that Pakistan’s government would eradicate all hurdles which resist foreign investors from investing in Pakistan.
Specifically, he praised Chinese investors for having foresight in terms of investment by stating that they were well aware of in which country to invest.
PM Khan has emphasised that China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has transformed into a strategic partnership between Pakistan and China and encompasses more areas of cooperation.
He said CPEC, that was considered a network of roads and a few power projects, has now blossomed into various areas of cooperation.
He said a new area of cooperation [between China and Pakistan] is agriculture, while calling it backbone of Pakistan.
He said Chinese help in seed and agriculture development would help increase Pakistan’s agricultural productivity manifold. “It will also increase growth trajectory in order to improve lifestyle of our people.”
“During today’s meetings with Chinese president and premier, the issue of Chinese assistance in Science and Technology to Pakistan also came into discussion. We want to learn from Chinese expertise in information technology and other areas,” he added.
