PM Shehbaz vows to follow Chinese development model
Appreciating the Chinese development model, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Thursday Pakistan can become a great nation if it followed that model through hard work and focus on industrial and agricultural growth. “All Pakistanis will also have to pass through this thorny process. There is no other way to earn respect in the world,” the prime minister said at the 4th Pakistan-China Friendship and Business Reception in Beijing. Earlier, PM Shehbaz met the Chairman of China International Cooperation Agency, Ambassador Luo Zhaohui and exchanged views on promotion of cooperation driven by common development, strategic trust and mutual benefit. The prime minister appreciated the CIDCA’s support for CPEC projects and establishment of Pakistan-China Friendship Hospital, the Desalination Plant in Gwadar, and the New Gwadar International Airport. They expressed confidence that the momentum would continue in the CPEC phase II.
