ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and China inked 35 agreements and memorandums of

Of the 35 agreements, 13 will be implemented in the public sector and 22 in
the private sector. They are expected to bring around $25-$30 billion of
investment over the next five years. The signing ceremony was witnessed by
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani and his Chinese counterpart Wen Jiabao,
who said Beijing would “never give up” on Pakistan.
Agreement and MoUs relating to investment worth $10 billion are to be
implemented under the public-private partnership basis while $5 billion
investment is to be undertaken under the private sector to private sector
investment initiatives. According to a list handed out to journalists, the
biggest deal was worth $6.5 billion to develop wind and solar power. Though
not specifically mentioned, behind-the-scenes talks were expected on China
building a one-gigawatt nuclear power plant as part of Pakistani plans to
produce 8,000 megawatts of nuclear electricity by 2025 to make up its energy
shortfall.
China extended full support to Pakistan’s sovereignty, security and
political integrity besides extending strong support in enhancing defence,
cooperation in economic areas and the space programme, said Foreign
Secretary Salman Bashir. In their address to Pak-China Business Cooperation
Summit, both the premiers vowed to strengthen economic and trade relations
between the two countries. Speaking on the occasion, Chinese Premier Wen
Jiabao said that China was aware of Pakistan’s desire for cooperation to
bridge the pressing gap in energy and would continue to cooperate in
peaceful use of nuclear energy with Pakistan. He said that the Karakoram
Highway, Gwadar Port and newly inaugurated Pak-China Friendship Centre were
a symbol of friendship between the two countries.
Prime Minister Gilani said that China had always been a generous and
reliable partner in Pakistan’s national development efforts. He said that
monumental projects such as the Karakoram Highway, Chashma power plants,
Heavy Mechanical and Electrical Complexes, the Gwadar Port, were all
examples of the outstanding cooperation between our two countries, he added.
“We have established an all-weather friendship and engaged in all-round
cooperation. The China-Pakistan relationship has withstood the test of time
and changes in the international landscape,” Wen told a lunch in his honour
. “Under no circumstances we will give up on our commitment to pursuing
this partnership.” Wen pledged China’s full support in the wake of the
floods, saying Beijing would help the country “lay a new solid foundation
for you to achieve self-owned, stable and sustainable development.” He
inaugurated the Pak-China Friendship Centre built as a monument to Pak–
China friendship and held talks with opposition leader Nawaz Sharif and
senior figures in the military. staff report/agencies |
