    Amid Indo-Pak tensions, China to invest $1bn in Pakistan
  • Amid heightened tensions between India and Pakistan, China is planning to invest $1 billion in development projects in the latter nation, the Ambassador of China to Pakistan, Yao Jing, reportedly said on Saturday.

    Jing made the announcement while speaking to a delegation at the Islamabad Women's Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IWCCI), The Express Tribune reported.

    Here's more on what happened.

  • Speaking at the IWCCI delegation, Jing called the pace of development projects under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) "satisfactory".

    Notably, it's a $46 billion infrastructure project aimed at deepening Pakistan-China economic ties.

    The Chinese diplomat also said the second phase of the China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement (CPFTA) will be finalized in October after which China will grant Pakistan 90% of tariff lines at 0% duty.

  • Further, Jing said, "Market access will increase Pakistan's exports by $500 million, which will reduce the disparity between bilateral trade."

    Informing the delegation that Chinese businesswomen will be invited to the fifth Islamabad Expo in November, he said, "In addition, women entrepreneurs of Pakistan would be sent to China to participate in the expos and explore business opportunities."
