Zardari offers Pak warm waters to Chinese
* President tells Chinese corporate leaders to take advantage of geo-strategic location, trade and economic potential of Pakistan
=======================================================GUANGZHOU: President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday invited Chinese investors and entrepreneurs to benefit from Pakistan’s geo-strategic location as well as its trade and economic potential for a win-win situation for the two neighbourly nations.
“I invite you to take advantage of the geo-strategic location, trade and economic potential and the warm waters of Pakistan, which has all the ingredients to become a progressive and developed country,” the president said while addressing corporate leaders of the Guangdong province at the Pakistan-China Forum on Economic Reconstruction.
Besides Chinese business leaders, the forum held on the sidelines of the 16th Asian Games and jointly organised by China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and Pakistan Consulate in Guangzhou was also attended by Guangdong province Vice Governor Liu Kun and representatives of the Guangdong provincial government.
Zardari added that if China used Pakistan’s warm waters for mutual benefit, the country would facilitate by all means. He said the strong Pakistan-China bond, the seeds of which had been sown by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Chinese leader Mao Zedong could be further strengthened through united efforts and going together in economic development.
He said China was fast emerging as the world economic leader and could use the trade and economic potential of Pakistan as a multiplier force for its further development growth. Referring to close brotherly relations between Pakistan and China, the president recalled that “when the floods hit northern areas of Pakistan, the Chinese ambassador in Pakistan called me and offered all out assistance”.
About the recent devastating floods in Pakistan, he said the people and government of Pakistan had the will and resilience to convert this catastrophe into opportunity. He invited Chinese construction companies and entrepreneurs to help Pakistan in reconstruction of the infrastructure destroyed and damaged by the recent floods. Zardari urged the Chinese corporate leaders and entrepreneurs to help Pakistan in achieving the goal of enhanced economic development and prosperity by investing in various infrastructure and development projects. app (daily times)
