"Pakistan is proud to have partnered with China in this transformative endeavour. We have been among BRI's earliest and most enthusiastic proponents," he said.</p> <p>"The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, one of the BRI's major components ─ and one of its earliest manifestations ─ has made substantial progress. Pakistan's energy supplies have increased massively, critical infrastructure gaps are being plugged, Gwadar ─ once a small fishing village ─ is transforming rapidly into a commercial hub. The Gwadar airport will be the largest in our country," he told his audience. </p> <p>He informed the audience that special economic zones being set up along the CPEC offer investment opportunities for Pakistani, Chinese and foreign entrepreneurs and invited them to "avail Pakistan's liberal foreign investment regime and participate in our economy, in particular infrastructure, railways, dams, IT and manufacturing."</p> <p>"Together Pakistan and China are entering the next phase of CPEC, with greater emphasis on socioeconomic uplift," he said, adding that the next phase would be "supplemented" by the signing of an expanded Pakistan-China Free Trade Agreement. </p> <p>He added that Pakistan wants to promote cooperation with China in agriculture, health and education sectors.</p> <p>"We are changing Pakistan's economic landscape and <em>Insha Allah</em>, the destiny of our people. I want to thank China and its leadership for their unwavering support for Pakistan," he said.</p> <p>Prime Minister Imran suggested that, as the BRI takes on a more concrete shape, world leaders direct their efforts and focus onto the people of their countries by addressing impediments in the path towards sustainable growth. </p> <p>He suggested collaboration on five points: mitigating the adverse effects of climate change by launching an ambitious tree-planting project; establishing a BRI tourism corridor; establishing an office for anti-corruption cooperation; creating a poverty alleviation fund; further trade liberalisation and encouraging private sector investment.</p> <h2 id="5cc2852186ff2">Xi's address</h2> <p>Chinese President Xi Jinping in his keynote address at the three-day forum said that the joint construction of the Belt and Road has opened up new space for the world's economic growth, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190426060640/http://www.radio.gov.pk/26-04-2019/bri-created-new-platform-to-boost-intl-trade-president-xi"><em>Radio Pakistan</em></a> reported.</p> <p>He said that the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) had also created a new platform to boost international trade and investment, expand new practices to optimise global economic governance, and make new contributions to improving the wellbeing of people of all countries. </p> <p>The Chinese president said that Beijing would negotiate and sign high-standard Free Trade Agreements with more countries, and that it would allow foreign investors to operate businesses in more sectors with a controlling or full stake.</p> <p>He said that China would work with other parties to promote a coalition of sustainable cities and an international coalition for green development under BRI.</p> <h2 id="5cc2852187072">PM's agenda in China</h2> <p>The prime minister arrived in China yesterday on a four-day official visit. According to the Foreign Office, he will attend a world leaders’ meeting representing around 38 countries. He will also speak in the first session of the leaders’ meeting, and hold meetings with several heads of states/governments and corporate and business leaders on the sidelines of the BRF.</p> <p>In addition to participating in the Belt and Road Forum, the premier will hold bilateral meetings with President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang. Pakistan and China will also sign several memoranda of understanding and agreements to enhance bilateral cooperation in diverse areas.</p> <p>After the forum, the prime minister will address a Pakistan business and investment forum on April 28. Prominent Pakistani and Chinese businessmen will attend the event.</p> <p>The prime minister will also participate in the Beijing International Horticultural Exhibition along with President Xi and other world leaders.</p> <p><em>More details to follow.</em></p> </div> </div> <!-- ******** /template/main ******** --> <!-- ******** template/footer ******** --> <div class="template__footer clearfix modifier--open px-1 "> <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-10 col-sm-offset-1"> <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-11"> <div class="ml-0 ml-sm-6 px-0 px-sm-2"> <hr> <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-6"> <div class="mb-0 mb-sm-4"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <span class="uppercase size-two font--arial"> <a class="text-red-darker" href="/web/20190426060640/https://www.dawn.com/trends/cpec">CPEC</a>, <a class="text-red-darker" href="/web/20190426060640/https://www.dawn.com/trends/pak-china-ties">Pak China Ties</a> </span> </div> <div class="col-12"> <!-- box/label --> <span class="badge size-two uppercase "><a title="World" href="/web/20190426060640/https://www.dawn.com/world" class="">World</a></span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-sm-6"> <div class="mt-2 mt-sm-0 clearfix float-left sm-float-right"> <!-- box/social --> <div class="social social--icon social--black social--flat social--facebook social--count float-left mr-1 "> <a onclick="return !window.open(this.href, 'Share on Facebook', 'width=640, height=536')" rel="noreferrer" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190426060640/https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1478521&display=popup&ref=plugin" target="_blank"><span style="clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px); height: 1px; overflow:hidden; position: absolute; white-space: nowrap; width: 1px;">Facebook Count</span><span data-fb-count-url="https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1478521"><span class="count"></span></span></a> </div> <div class="social social--icon social--black social--flat social--twitter float-left mr-1 "> <a onclick="return !window.open(this.href, 'Tweet', 'width=640, height=300')" rel="noreferrer" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190426060640/https://twitter.com/share?text=PM%20Khan%20calls%20for%20tackling%20climate%20change%2C%20poverty%20as%20Pakistan%2C%20China%20enter%20next%20CPEC%20phase%0A&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1478521&counturl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1478521" target="_blank"><span style="clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px); height: 1px; overflow:hidden; position: absolute; white-space: nowrap; width: 1px;">Twitter Share</span></a> </div> <div class="social social--whatsapp block sm-hidden float-left mr-1 social--icon social--black social--flat"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190426060640/whatsapp://send/?text=PM%20Khan%20calls%20for%20tackling%20climate%20change%2C%20poverty%20as%20Pakistan%2C%20China%20enter%20next%20CPEC%20phase%0A%20-%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dawn.com%2Fnews%2F1478521%3Fref%3Dwhatsapp"></a> </div> <div class="social hidden sm-block social--print social--icon social--black social--flat float-left mr-1"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20190426060640/https://www.dawn.com/news/print/1478521"> </a> </div> <div class="social social--email social--icon social--black social--flat float-left mr-1"> <a onclick="$('.mailer [name^=id]').val(1478521);$('.mailer').modal().open()" href="javascript:void(0)"></a> </div> <div class="mailer themodal themodal--centered" style="width:400px;height:260px;background:#fff"> <h3 class="size-seven mb-2">Email</h3> <form accept-charset="utf-8" class="form-vertical emailer" id="email-story" onsubmit="javascript:$.post(this.action, $(this).serialize(), function(data,status,xhr) { $('#email-story').html(data.message);});return false;" method="POST" action="https://web.archive.org/web/20190426060640/https://www.dawn.com/news/email/1478521"><input class="form-control" type="hidden" name="jscheck" value=""><div class="form-group required"><label class="size-three control-label" for="sender">Your Name<sup>*</sup></label><input class="form-control" required id="sender" type="text" name="sender"></div><div class="form-group required"><label class="size-three control-label" for="to">Recipient Email<sup>*</sup></label><input class="form-control" required id="to" type="text" name="to"></div><input class="form-control" type="hidden" name="id" value=""><input class="btn mt-2 size-three" type="submit" value="Email"><input class="form-control" type="hidden" name="_token" value=""></form> </div> <div class="social social--comment social--icon social--black social--flat social--count font-normal float-left mr-1"> <a data-comments-status="open" href="#comments"><span class="count">8</span></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row no-gutters"> <!-- -

There is no doubt, we have to be united, determined and loyal and be ready to sacrifice and come out of our comfort zone and contribute positively in every way for our present and future generations. We also have to recover all looted money from corrupt politicians and set an example, as there is no other way to tackle our current financial crisis - we simply cannot rely on loans and foriegn aids, we have to be self sufficient.
