China with Pakistan

[ghazi52]

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday said his recent visit to Beijing and bilateral meetings with its leadership had added further strength to the time-tested ties between the two countries and would accelerate the pace of work on the ongoing projects of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

During an interaction with a number of former ambassadors and think-tanks, the prime minister said his recent visit to China was very relevant in connection with the fast-changing global political map.

“The Chinese leadership has appreciated our government’s steps to overcome the Covid-19 pandemic and acknowledged that the economic indicators are positive,” he said, adding it had reaffirmed economic support to Pakistan through specific projects.

Federal ministers and PM’s special assistants were also present during the interaction.

The premier said he had held a meeting with President Xi Jinping after a period of two years since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“These bilateral meetings added further impetus to CPEC projects,” he said. The prime minister also completely dismissed the impression that work on these projects had slowed down.

Referring to the functioning of the Chinese government, PM Imran said when a decision was made, it was implemented, but this was lacking in Pakistan, attributing the problem to differences between the federal and provincial governments.

PCJCC chief for vigorously tapping Chinese market​

February 18, 2022

​

LAHORE: Wang Zihai, President Pak China Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCJCC) said that China was a huge consumer market with increasing buying power, and there was a greater demand of all kinds of Pakistani commodities in China.

Local exporters should vigorously tap the Chinese market by producing high-quality products and establishing good brands, stated by President PCJCCI during a think tank session which is held Wednesday at PCJCCI premises.

He added Pakistan should spare no efforts to further strengthen the Pakistan-China trade relations. He said country’s exports to China increased by 34 percent to 2.33 billion dollars during the fiscal year 2020-2021 (July 1-June 30), as compared to 1.74 billion dollars in the previous fiscal year. Leather, textiles, seafood and agricultural products were among the major products exported to China during the period.

Wang Zihai also added that the traditional friendly relations between Pakistan and China had become more pragmatic and productive with time. A new awareness is seen among the Pakistani exporters, who previously preferred the European, US and other markets. These Pakistani businessmen, with the help from the government, started to see the Chinese market opportunities.

Ehsan Choudhry, Senior Vice President PCJCCI said the Pakistan-China trade volume had shown an upward trajectory over the years. According to official figures from the Ministry of Commerce of Pakistan, in the year 2018 the trade volume between the two countries was 16.4 billion dollars, seeing a jump from 4.8 billion dollars in 2007.

He added the recent upward trend in exports to China was encouraging. Pakistani manufacturers need to understand the Chinese market and should focus on improving the quality and standard of their products to be exported to China to further increase exports.
