BEIJING:

Former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, in an interview with China’s Xinhua news agency on Friday, said the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) had brought great opportunities for Pakistan.


He said the BRI would enhance connectivity, promote peace and development, better realise a community of shared future for mankind, and make people feel that tomorrow would be better than yesterday.

The former PM said the future development of the two countries was based on mutual interests. The mutual assistance and connectivity were of great importance to peace, harmony and common progress, he added.


Aziz attended the third “Read and Understand China” international conference recently held in Beijing.

The conference was co-sponsored by the national institute of innovation and development strategy, the Chinese people’s institute of foreign affairs, the council for the 21st century and the Beijing municipal people’s government.

Nearly 600 people attended the conference.

I hope the former government officials, once cleared of any wrong doings, debrief the new governments of all the efforts they made in their time in office. All the initiatives they tried and what exactly went well and what didn't pan out. We need to have those that what the best for the nation and its people to work their contacts and seek any avenue for support to the nation. Shaukat Aziz was a former banker at a high level. He may be able to better understand the elements of the economic situation that others might be missing. I hope his presence in Beijing indicated the government already has reached out to him, to work his abilities and do his part to get Pakistan back on track.
