It is a fact that from the last three decades Pakistan is relying on the chines technologies the most, except cars and auto mobiles. After the agreement of CPEC, project it is the foremost duty of Pakistani officials to give fool proof security to the Chinese projects and investors to carry out their activities in all over Pakistan. It should be remember that from the laying of foundation stone of the CPEC project the chinses experts and engineers being targeting from the culprits and terrorists to harm that great economical project of the millennium and to destroy the peace of the region. As a result, now a days the Chinese officials are demanding high profile security for their investors and other technical workers in Pakistan. Therefore the Chinese businessmen on Tuesday called on the Pakistani government to enhance security for investors, prioritize one-window operations and ensure the continuation of supportive policies to foster industrialization and business growth in the country.
We know that china is our all seasons tested friend and it helped Pakistan in very hard time. Now china is investing the projects of more then 46 billion dollars in deferent projects and businesses in our country, not only for the revival of old Silk Road or Belt and road initative (BRI) but also to support the weak Pakistani economy which nearly collapsing, so the country have no chance to disappoint such a good friend.
On Tuesday the Chairman of China Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Pakistan (CCCPK), emphasized that Pakistan must create a secure investment environment to encourage Chinese private sector participation. He specifically pointed to the importance of learning from China’s Green SEZ model, which emphasizes eco-friendly development and sustainable practices, including the use of renewable energy.
According to the media these zones not only contribute to long-term industrial growth but also play a critical role in poverty alleviation and job creation. “SEZs have the potential to boost Pakistan’s industrial sector, reduce poverty and foster trade liberalization,” Wang said, noting that CPEC’s infrastructure development could be a game-changer for the country’s economy. He urged Pakistan to focus on modernizing industries, leveraging technology and boosting industrial competitiveness.
A recent survey by the CCCPK revealed a Business Climate Index of 49.63 for Chinese firms in Pakistan, just below the crucial 50-point threshold separating optimism from pessimism. It surveyed its major companies and found that 83.4 per cent of companies cited deteriorating security as a primary barrier to business, alongside concerns over foreign exchange controls and policy inconsistencies. Nevertheless, 70 per cent of respondents remained optimistic about future economic conditions.
The remarks came during a high-level policy dialogue hosted by the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI), titled “Driving Special Economic Zones (SEZs) Development under CPEC 2.0: Opportunities for Sustainable Industrial Growth.” The event was held in Islamabad. Mushahid Hussain Sayed, Chairman of Pakistan-China Institute, underscored the need for Pakistan to take decisive steps to benefit from China’s global rise, particularly through CPEC and other infrastructure initiatives. “There are multiple institutions involved in managing these projects, but too ‘many cooks spoil the broth’. Pakistan needs a singl, independent and autonomous authority to oversee CPEC-related investments especially SEZs.
It is very thinkable for our officials to note that consecutive demand of pool proof security because it could damage the CPEC, and other investments of Chinese in the future. Thus this is responsibility of all stakeholders to look after the brotherly Chinese experts and traders that they can feel themselves safe and secure in Pakistan. If our related officials could not give any attention to these valid demands then it will be very hard to convince the chines companies and enterprises to invest more in our country therefore it is the voice of the time to fulfill those genuine demands for the batter future of sinking economy.
