While on a five-day visit to China, Prime Minister Shehbaz said he was impressed by Huawei’s creative operations and encouraged the business to expand its investment in Pakistan.

The Prime Minister thanked Huawei for its Safe City initiatives in Pakistan and extended an invitation to the business to invest in these projects, especially in the cities where CPEC projects were being carried out, during a bilateral discussion he subsequently had with Chairman Liang Hua and his group.

He briefed the chairman of the company on the measures the government has made to encourage investment and facilitate doing business in the nation.

A framework agreement between Huawei and Pakistan’s Ministry of Science and Technology was later signed by the prime minister, who also witnessed the training of approximately 200,000 young people in artificial intelligence and information technology at no cost. In addition, the business would help Pakistan with the creation of Safe Cities, e-governance, and economic digitalization.

In addition, the prime minister and his entourage were given a luncheon reception by the chairman of the corporation.

Following his visit to Huawei’s headquarters, the prime minister said on X, “I was impressed by the most recent innovative technologies that are transforming the world and our way of living.”

The cornerstone of economic cooperation between the two brothers and all-weather friends is still the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, the initiative’s flagship project.

In contrast to reports of a slowdown, recent events indicate a renewed vigour and strategic emphasis on pushing the second phase of CPEC, known as CPEC Phase-2, according to the Ministry of Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives.

According to the statement, this crucial stage seeks to reshape the foundation of bilateral ties via increased cooperation, cutting-edge technology transfer, and revolutionary socioeconomic initiatives.

Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal is leading Pakistan’s participation in a number of high-profile gatherings in China, such as the 3rd Forum on China-Indian Ocean Region Development Cooperation in Kunming and the High-Level Seminar on CPEC-2 in Beijing.

His involvement demonstrates Pakistan’s commitment to reviving CPEC, resolving outstanding concerns, and developing a strong phase-2 roadmap that considers both countries’ long-term prosperity.

At the core of these interactions is China’s steadfast determination to turn CPEC into a strategic alliance that promotes development, progress, and connectivity.

Instead of being marginalised, CPEC is developing into a multifaceted framework with five main thematic corridors: the Opening-Up/Regional Connectivity Corridor, the Innovation Corridor, the Green Corridor, the Growth Corridor, and the Livelihood-Enhancing Corridor.

With the help of projects like these, the two countries will fortify their partnership, and CPEC phase-2 will become a model of global economic integration and collaboration that benefits not just China and Pakistan but the entire region.
