Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday pledged to revamp Pakistan’s economy by emulating China’s model, to achieve similar economic success on a smaller scale.
Speaking to a 12-member Chinese delegation led by Mr. Wang Fukang, the Prime Minister said that during his recent visit to China, he requested President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Li Qiang to send experts to Pakistan.
“The goal is to model Pakistan’s economy after China’s. Today, these experts are here, and we’re confident that progress will follow soon.”

He anticipated that it would enhance bilateral arrangements in areas such as industry, agriculture, and economic zones, and help increase Pakistan’s capacity to produce agricultural items in high demand in China.
He noted that Pakistan could meet Chinese requirements by exporting high-quality goods and exploring opportunities in mining and minerals, IT, and export zones.

泽米尔先生，我是您的中国朋友陈胜超，我个人认为目前中国朋友对于投资巴基斯坦的热情是非常高的，但是前期所需要的是巴基斯坦要保证信誉良好、安全、便利的商业服务环境及规则，设计好良性循环的外贸和生产商业架构。我个人认为巴基斯坦政府开始要以政府国企作为信用背书，向中国朋友伙伴发起合作，从而实现良好的信用基础，各行各业以点带面面向全国，从农产品科技种植到轻工业加工，都需要选择动力火车头，以火车头去拉动千千万万的加工配套作坊企业，从而拉动老百姓的高效收入高。泽米尔先生，我作为一名您的中国朋友，也可以代表几个行业和您谈谈之后巴基斯坦的投资事宜，但在此之前我需要了解巴基斯坦的国家政策，商业环境，社会治安，城市规模，各城市人口规模，人口分布，人均消费水平，百姓基本收入来源等等一些问题，从而去分析怎样一种合作模式，以什么项目作为一个动力火车头，去拉动一条产业链，形成良好的商业闭环。个人一点浅见，如说错，请泽米尔先生见谅。
热烈欢迎。 加强中巴传统意义。 加强各个领域的战略合作。
