“Pakistan-China industrial cooperation is destined to make Pakistan a manufacturing hub in the region while establishing industrial zones would create vast investment opportunities for local industrialists and absorb huge workforce. The shifting of industries from China to Pakistan would result in export promotion, import-substitution, transfer of technologies, and employment generation, which are the government’s primary goals.”, said Federal Minister for Planning, Development, and Reforms, Asad Umer, reports Daily Times.
He added that both the countries are collaborating to promote industrialization in the country as work on Special Economic Zone (SEZ)’s including Rashakai, Allama Iqbal Industrial City Faisalabad, and Bostan Balochistan was under progress.
