Punjab Minister for Energy, Malik Sher Ali Khan has stated that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leadership is resolutely determined to overcome the chronic menace of load-shedding and for this purpose in addition to increasing power generation, it has launched an aggressive campaign against massive electricity and gas theft which is costing up to Rs 250 billion annually to the country. He expressed these views while addressing opening ceremony of the world reputed Chinese North West Electric Power Institute office in Pakistan at a local hotel on Tuesday. The minister said that newly-established Chinese design institute would open up new vistas of mutual cooperation between business entities of China and Pakistan in the energy sector. Earlier, NWEPDI President Zaho Wen Xue stated that it was an established principle of the Chinese leadership to develop a sound relationship with Pakistan and push forward the ties among power generation firms of the two nations.
