Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said that the government is fostering a secure and business-friendly atmosphere for the Chinese community in Pakistan.
“The trust of Chinese firms in the Pakistani economy is vital for our economic prospects,” the prime minister said while presiding over a meeting on security measures for Chinese citizens in Pakistan.
PM Shehbaz said that various steps are being implemented to bolster the safety of Chinese nationals across the country, including in Islamabad.
The prime minister said that the Safe City projects serve as a prime example of this growing capability. “Safe City projects were being built across the country as per the international standards,” he added.
“China is our friendly country,” PM Shehbaz said while stressing that the protection of Chinese brothers was the top priority of the government.
He said the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) was a highly important joint project between the two countries which had now entered its second phase, where business-to-business cooperation will be prioritized between the two countries.
