Thar Coal Block-1 Project
KARACHI: Work on Shanghai Electric’s Thar Coal Block-1 Project, a priority implementation project of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), is expected to speed up following the arrival of a batch of 500 Chinese engineers and managers.
The Chinese personnel arrived on a special chartered flight that took off from Shanghai’s Pudong International Airport on Tuesday noon and arrived in the night at Karachi’s Jinnah Terminal.
The engineers and managers were given a warm farewell by Executive management of Shanghai Electric, Mr. Chen Ganjin, and Mr. Liu Guoping before their departure for Karachi. On their arrival here they were received by company officials at the Jinnah Terminal.
The return of Chinese engineers and managers to Pakistan, which had been delayed because of the Covid-19 pandemic, is expected to provide a boost to the Thar Coal Block-1 Project.
Mr Li Jigen, CEO, Sino Sindh Resources (Private)Limited, an overseas subsidiary of Shanghai Electric, commented that it is a major development for the company and the return of technical and managerial staff will pave the path for construction and production work at the Thar Coal Block-1 Project.
“Because of the Covid-19 situation, international travel has become really difficult. But it is great that a special chartered flight was arranged successfully to bring 500 of our colleagues to Pakistan,” he said.
He thanked the authorities both in China and Pakistan for facilitating the chartered flight.
