Suzuki Mehran has nothing to do with Japan. It is manufactured and marketed by Pakistani branch of Suzuki for Pakistan only since it is not available anywhere else. And this branch is owned by a Pakistani. Until the govt changes the policy, this kind of cheap cars will keep selling in Pakistan.Start by taking the junk that is Suzuki Mehran off the road.![]()
Thanks but no thanks we do not want to be part of either CEPC or OBOR period if Japan wants to be they can beWonder if Indian companies can also invest in CPEC?
Every day of my life I mix with Chinese having breakfast, lunch and Dinner- know Chinese culture unlike Pakistanis.
Also I have Chinese friends from mainland who have stayed with me- learned Mandarin in 1995/96- in two weeks continuing my Mandarin classes to improve to a higher level.I know what I am writing.

if it is true then pak & china should have understanding regarding japanese investment.(investment should be FDI). i think pak & china should encourage minimum investment by other nations. once they would have invested then there will be less chances to oppose this project by investors. pak & china will always have superiority

If you want to talk about why Japan is falling behind in Pakistan, look into Diamer-Bhasha Dam.
Pakistan is open for business to all. Japan choose to follow World Bank which is their prerogative since they have a much larger trading relationship with US but then lets not pretend that somehow Pakistan has been unfair to "decades old business partner". As far as Pakistan is concerned, we are just looking for investment and development.

Suzuki is a relatively small motor firm (market cap ~$20 B) positioned in niche market segment (A00, A0 small sedan), similar to Subaru, Mazda. As Pakistan consumption power grows, huge chance that bigger auto firms from Japan with comprehensive product lines will be attracted to setup (or expand) in CPEC, say the world's top 10 auto & truck conglomerates (Fortune 2000, market cap 2016) are:Japan first needs to reign in their sister company Pakistan Suzuki here in Pakistan. Most of their investment is very much restricted to automobiles in the form of suzuki cars with huge price tag. With CPEC happening, and reasonable prices control, their transport vehicles can earn huge profits over the next decade or so.
Toyota and Honda are already there in Pakiatan since..forever.. But now VW and Audi are coming and that's a good news for the automarket and the consumers.Suzuki is a relatively small motor firm (market cap ~$20 B) positioned in niche market segment (A00, A0 small sedan), similar to Subaru, Mazda.

In my opinion, CPEC should welcome Japanese investment, an example is auto manufacturing, it's beneficial to the whole industrial complex.
