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’.
