Chinese urged to set up labour intensive industry in Pakistan

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said on Thursday the government under its economic reforms agenda offers attractive incentives for investment and asked the Chinese entrepreneurs to take advantage of the friendly policies and set up labour intensive industry in Pakistan. “The labour cost is very competitive and much less as compared to the current labour cost in China. Agriculture, textile, mining and information technology are the prime areas where there is a great scope to do business in Pakistan,” he said while speaking at the Pakistan-China Business Roundtable Conference organised by the Pakistan Embassy in Beijing.
