opportunities for enhancement of bilateral trade and economic relations
between both nations.
Presiding a meeting of board of directors held here at, PFC Chief Mian
Kashif expressed the confidence that Prime Minister’s visit will be
instrumental to further expanding the scope and depth of the bilateral

Belt and Road Initiative and the stronger trade and business ties with
China will not only help Pakistan’s economic situation, but will also lead
to greater stability and economic prosperity in the region.
He said, the previous rulers Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan Peoples Party and
Mian Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan Muslim League (N) had jeopardized all sectors
of economy, but always portrayed a rosy picture to masses.

$9.7 billion in 2018 and Chinese products are replacing local goods and
becoming a dominant force in the domestic market.
