Army chief set to leave for China

[nadeemkhan110]

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Raheel Sharif is set to leave for a crucial visit to China where he will be holding important meetings with Chinese political and military leadership on bilateral matters.

An informed source told Pakistan Today that besides military to military relations, the army chief would be discussing the implementation of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and challenges and threats to this multi-billion project with the Chinese leadership and would return home on Thursday.

Recently, media reports suggested that the Chinese government was concerned over the slow implementation of CPEC-related projects and that the capability and capacity of Pakistan’s bureaucracy and skilled workforce was the major cause behind delays.

One of the reports suggested that China had hinted at Pakistan military’s monitoring of the CPEC projects as army was considered the only state institution which was fully functional and effective throughout the country.

Nevertheless, the federal government is reluctant to share any responsibility with the army as regards the CPEC since it aims at getting political mileage out of this significant mega project which involves energy projects of $ 38 billion and infrastructure development projects besides free economic zones mostly in the Punjab province.

Moreover, Beijing seems happy over Pakistan army’s security cover to Chinese workforce and engineers. Also Pakistan has developed a 17000-strong division to provide security for the CPEC route and Chinese nationals.

Furthermore, expansion of military to military relations between both the friendly strategic partners would also come under discussion during General Raheel Sharif’s visit to China against the backdrop of India’s agreements with the US and Russia for purchase of fighter jets and other military equipment.

With the US having already cancelled its aid to Pakistan for F-16 fighter jets, Pak-China talks are in progress for expanding Pakistan’s nuclear capability, as China has also reinforced JF-17 jets with Russian engines.

JF-17 Thunder is another symbol of the level of defence cooperation between both the strategic partners. Beijing has provided Islamabad with its most developed J-10 helicopters.

The WS-13 engines (Chinese: 涡扇-13), with codename Taishan, is a turbofan engine designed and manufactured by Guizhou Aircraft Industry Corporation to power the Pakistan-China jointly developed JF-17 Thunder light-weight multi-role fighter, and in the near future the Shenyang J-31 fifth generation stealth fighter currently under development. Talks are underway for future cooperation between Pakistan and China for training of troops as well.

From China other than APC and HJ-12 and Air Defence systems I don't see any other thing coming

"Recently, media reports suggested that the Chinese government was concerned over the slow implementation of CPEC-related projects and that the capability and capacity of Pakistan’s bureaucracy and skilled workforce was the major cause behind delays."

The corrupt politicians don't want Gawadar port to be functional & they tried their very best in ppp's corrupt time of rule to destroy Gawadar port once & for all. The above mentioned point is a clear proof that corrupt politicians have no interest in developing Pakistan because they want IMF to fill their pockets & keep robbing Pakistan. I don't believe that we have a weak labour force, there are thousands who want to work but it is because of corruption by the bureaucrats & corrupt politicians who are obstacle in this mega project, why? Because there is no family business for them & no commission for these bastards.

All credit & million thanks goes to Gen. Raheel who personally stepped in Gawadr project & is so far supervising it & the project should be supervised by him & PA all the way.

 

[tarrar]

I hope to see new military deals for new defence hardware, like air defence, attack helicopters, military gear, navy & airforce. Of Course nothing will be disclosed & the deals will remain confidential but with the passage of time we will get to see the new hardware.

[ADIL SHERDIL]

Gen Raheel is just going to show them that Pakistan is very much Serious in CPEC.
This visit is to relax China ofcourse our leadership is not acting as it should have been but the question remain who will supervise CPEC once General Raheel is retired. There might be some news about any military acquisition,
