More chinese firm to invest in pakistan in future

LAHORE: Around 700 small, medium and large scale Chinese companies are currently working in Pakistan investing in various sectors, including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), and the number is likely to grow in the future.

Chinese companies are interested in investing in sectors such as electronics, automotive, education exchange programmes, insurance, agriculture, textiles, shoe manufacturing, chemicals, battery recycling plant and real estate.

“We are also expecting to introduce the first Chinese commercial vehicle to Pakistani market by the end of next year,” said newly elected Pakistan-China Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCJCCI) President Wang Zihai here on Tuesday.

He told reporters at the PCJCCI office that textile millers of Shandong province were in talks with their Pakistani counterparts for re-positioning of the textile industry in Pakistan.

The All Pakistan Textile Mills Association and Punjab Board of Investment and Trade have also expressed willingness for such joint ventures that would help local textile millers upgrade their outdated technology.

Zihai said $46 billion investment deal under the CPEC was not the end for Pakistan, as fresh investments and joint ventures between business groups of Pakistan and other nations under the corridor could push the investment figure to $100 billion.

To a question about major inflow of Chinese investment in Punjab under the CPEC or business-to-business groups, Zihai argued that Punjab was a big market with over 100 million people and its infrastructure and inter-city connectivity was much better than in other provinces.

Replying to a question about balance of trade, which was inclined towards China than Pakistan, he said majority of Pakistani businessmen did not realise what was being provided to them under the Free Trade Agreement.

He said China offered zero to 5pc tariff rates for Pakistani products, which were much lenient, adding that Pakistan needed to overcome smuggling and under-invoicing to improve balance of trade.

Earlier, the second Annual General Meeting of PCJCCI was held at its office which elected Wang Zihai, chairman of all Chinese companies working in Pakistan, as the unopposed president; Ahmed Faheem Khan as senior vice president; and Moazzam Ali vice president besides executive committee members.

Om Puri blasts indian anchor, and support pakostani artists

NEW DELHI: Days after Bollywood superstar Salman Khan opposed ban on Pakistani artists, veteran actor Om Puri lent his support in favour of Pakistani actors, saying the ban on them will not change the situation, Indian media reported.

In a TV talk show, Om Puri said, Pakistani actors are not working illegally in India. If they are sent back, Indian producers, who have signed them for their films, will suffer heavy losses.

He said art and politics should be kept separate and banning the artistes will not change the situation.

During a live debate Om Puri said something which did not go down well with the audience and even his friends from the industry.

During the show, Puri blasted at the anchor while talking about Indian soldiers. He said, “Who had asked the soldiers to join the army? Who told them to pick the weapons?”

The veteran actor called for peace between India and Pakistan saying, "Do you want India-Pakistan enmity to turn like Israel and Palestine, and fight for ages?

Several Indians have their relatives staying across the border and vice-versa, how can they fight a war with their cross-border families, he said.

Om Puri’s remarks came days after superstar Salman Khan opposed the ban too, by saying “Pakistani actors are not terrorists”.

Following his remarks about Indian soldiers, a police complaint has been filed against veteran actor. The complaint was lodged at Andheri Police Station in Mumbai, the media reported.

Om Puri visited Pakistan in August to promote the Pakistani film 'Actor in Law"' in which he plays a key role.

Besides many several social media users, filmmaker Ashoke Pandit and veteran actor Anupam Kher came out against Om Puri and slammed him over his remarks.
