Other speakers at the event will include SAPM on CPEC Affairs Khalid Mansoor, Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Nong Rong, Pakistan’s Ambassador to China Moinul Haque, and Minister of Industries and Commerce Punjab Mian Aslam Iqbal.
This is the Punjab edition of the conference in the series of countrywide conferences initiated by BOI early this year. The first conference was held in Peshawar as KP Chapter in March 2021, which received an overwhelming response of Pakistani and Chinese private sector enterprises. The conference aims to promote CPEC-related Special Economic Zones (SEZs), facilitate public private projects, matchmaking of Pakistani and Chinese enterprises for successful B2B Joint Ventures (JVs) and Showcasing Punjab’s public sector projects.
The priority sectors being focused in conference as per their significance from Punjab’s context include textile, agriculture and livestock, IT, housing and construction and green energy. Few MoUs between private companies are also being signed on sidelines of the conference.
The conference is hybrid in nature with options of both physical and virtual participation. Many companies will be joining online from China to present their project proposals for which they are seeking JV partners in Pakistan.
The BOI will be holding such conferences in future in other provinces with the next ones in Karachi and Gwadar.
Pakistan and China enjoy close and friendly relations since the establishment of diplomatic relations in May 1951. Pakistan was one of the first countries that recognized the People’s Republic of China. Over the years, the relationship has blossomed into an “all weather strategic cooperative partnership”. Pakistan considers China as one of its closest friend and partner and China considers Pakistan as its “Iron Brother”.
