Furthermore, both sides also deliberated on the CPEC Industrial Cooperation Business to Business (B2B) Investment Conference which the BOI is organizing in Lahore in December 2021.

The ambassador extended his full support for the conference, as it may serve as a bridge between the Private and Public sector stakeholders of both Countries.

The ambassador apprised “a satisfied Chinese investor is the ambassador of Pakistan in China”.

Both sides agreed to ameliorate the experience of the existing investors while reaching out globally for marketing Pakistan as an attractive investment destination. The endeavors taken together will be pivotal for advancing the second phase of CPEC that is ‘Industrial Cooperation’.
