Pakistan is paying a high price as a consequence of this short-sightedness.

I will refer to my experience as State Minister & Chairman of the Board of Investment (BOI), which opened this whole new world of possibilities, to reiterate the same point because for me the priority is the continuity of good work and who leads the project a question for time only.

I write with the sole objective of highlighting the very urgent need for the continuity of policies and implementation of a roadmap instead of a “new plan and no action” after the departure of any government.” Pakistan is paying a high price as a consequence of this short-sightedness.

We worked extraordinarily hard to facilitate the Chinese investors in continuous coordination with the Prime Minister’s Office and led initiatives under the Chair of the Prime Minister. My friend and Ambassador of China in Pakistan Nong Rong was super active also and we worked as ONE TEAM. We were in daily communication and our focus was to create a solid foundation for investors from both sides.

We enabled BOI to establish the “Pakistan China Business & Investment Forum” and the objective was to facilitate investors from both sides for JVs and collaborations and focus on maximum outreach from China with both Embassies as a point of contact. We managed the historical signing of the Framework Agreement. I am honored to be the signatory from Pakistan with NDRC Chairman from China’s end.

I always believe in future feasibility and therefore all work with CPEC Authority, including working with large-size Chinese corporations, our objective was to attract maximum FDI and I have complete faith that this window is worth a realistic potential of a few billion USD investments annually.

I am presently working on my article on China’s case study in the context of Pakistan’s Investment Climate as the second in the line of Investment articles like my recent one on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Here is the link https://lnkd.in/dbwA5Jba.

Pakistan’s potential is unquestionable but the lack of long-term vision and stable framework is pushing us back. This is the time to resist this pushback and persist in our demand for vision and shaping of the potential into a possibility. I hope that my voice resonates with the millions who read this and we manage to move forward as Pakistan needs us to. BOARD OF INVESTMENT Nutshell Group

Looks like a new line of scrounges is being
formed

How long are you going to continue looting ordinary Pakistanis giving
them high hope?

Why do you have to involve investors from other countries like CPEC
milking billions?

Why don’t you encourage the common man to stand on his two feet and start
rebuilding the Nation with his own efforts?

Every time self-importance is showed in so that when the milk round
begins you guys are ready for the

Policy/program continuity and consistency, by and large,
unless something is truly proven counterproductive – would be the greatest
service to the nation and our economy. And I also echo your words in a
politically agnostic manner.

authorities could realize this fact and work accordingly which will be
