‘NEW VISTAS OF PROSPERITY’:
Separately, Fawad hoped that Prime Minister Imran Khan’s first visit of China will open up new vistas of prosperity through expanding its exports to China and attracting more Chinese investment in the country.
In an exclusive conversation with PTV, he said Pakistan’s main interest lies in cooperation with China on matters of trade, security and agriculture sectors as the country is expecting a support package from the Chinese side and the premier’s visit will be vital in this regard.
China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic partners and the relationship between the two countries has always been operating at a high level, he added.
He said the main emphasis of the government, under CPEC, will be socio-economic, human resource development and modern technology in the agriculture sector.
Prime Minister Imran Khan’s visit to China is a move aimed at a major reset in relations between the neighbours like Saudi Arabia and China, he added.
“Both countries maintain close and regular strategic communication for the promotion of regional peace and stability and economic cooperation.”
“Economic and industrial cooperation between Pakistan and China expanded significantly after the establishment of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC),” Fawad remarked.
He hoped that enhanced cultural exchanges between China and Pakistan would offer the people of the two great nations an opportunity to further strengthen the historical and cultural bonds that hold them in a strong affinity.
It will be an opportunity to understand each other’s chemistry, he said, adding during the visit, the PM will discuss the techniques, especially in the field of space and technology.
“We will exchange the skills regarding the new technologies in space with Chinese expertise”, he added.
To a question, he said corruption is always a reason that stops a country from achieving its potential,” adding China could share with Pakistan its expertise in fighting white-collar crimes, which the PTI-led government was also striving to combat.
