Pakistan, China sign ML-1 railways agreement

[maverick1977]

No mention of Karakoram railway track from havelian to China. Current trade between China and Pakistan at $9B, with SEZ coming up all across Pakistan China route, railway line can easily take this trade to $30B a year due to low cost of transportation ... Gawadar to khuzdar and jacobabad railway line should be laid.
Secondly, China can start importing goods from Karachi and Gawadar, saving billions of $ from SLOC through strait of malacca and South China Sea.

Similarly, Quetta taftan railway line need to be upgraded to increase trade with Iran.
New railway line from landi kotal to Kabul needs to come up...
Once peace settles between India and Pakistan then Pakistan can be transit with India to access central Asian states...

Pakistan can truly change in next 10 years.

Can we keep nationalism shit aside

Well it’s very heart warming that an Indian cares more for the interest of Pakistanis then his own aboriginal creed, however we are ok so no need to worry.

 

[Behram Khilji]

Can we keep nationalism shit aside

Racial not nationalism, good day to you.

 

[Aryeih Leib]

Whatever

Racial not nationalism, good day to you.

Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan expects the implementation of the “One Belt, One Road” cooperation project
巴基斯坦总理伊姆兰·汗推动中巴“一带一路“合作落地

巴基斯坦总理伊姆兰·汗到访福田汽车 推动中巴“一带一路“合作落地

4月28日，正在对中国进行国事访问、并出席第二届“一带一路”国际合作高峰论坛的巴基斯坦总理伊姆兰•汗（Imran Khan）一行到访福田汽车北京总部，对福田汽车在商用车智能领域及在巴业务发展进行全面了解，福田汽车也成为唯一一个峰会国家元首造访的车企。福田汽车党委书记、总经理巩月琼对伊姆兰·汗总理一行的参观到访表示感谢，并赠送车模。

【巴基斯坦总理伊姆兰•汗到访福田汽车并接受福田汽车党委书记、总经理巩月琼赠送的车模】

中巴是全天候战略合作伙伴关系，中巴经济走廊也是“一带一路”的重大先行先试项目，此次巴基斯坦总理到访福田汽车，就是为进一步夯实“一带一路”峰会精神达成的建设成果，有力推动中巴全天候战略合作伙伴关系和中巴经济走廊建设进一步走深、走实。

【巩月琼陪同伊姆兰•汗参观福田数字展厅】

伊姆兰•汗总理明确要求，作为中巴经济走廊的核心支点的瓜达尔港，在港口内运输和出口物流方面存在巨大的运力需求，福田汽车具有的干线物流一体化解决方案以及港口内用车解决方案，将有效帮助港口提高运输的效率和效益。此外，针对巴基斯坦5000套保障住房建设需求，希望福田汽车提供高端的工程建设用车，帮助项目落地。

彰显中国自主品牌风采

在集团领导的陪同下，伊姆兰·汗一行参观了福田汽车商用车全系产品，听取了福田汽车的发展历史以及在商用车领域的发展情况。现场，伊姆兰·汗分别乘坐了欧曼超级重卡、欧辉氢燃料车，对于车辆的舒适性以及车辆的智能科技给予高度评价，同时还参观了福田的新能源车型，并围绕如何降低使用成本、运营效率如何保障等方面进行了提问。

【一行人参观重卡】

伊姆兰•汗表示：“中巴经济走廊”创造了大量的投资机会。在干线物流运输上，福田汽车可以为“中巴经济走廊”物流运输提供帮助。尤其是通过建立合资项目，引入智能化高水平商用车，利用福田汽车的先进技术和产品，可以推动“中巴经济走廊”物流运输的全面提速。针对瓜达尔港，福田汽车的港口牵引车能为港口物流提供高效率的解决方案。

【巩月琼向伊姆兰•汗介绍新能源车零部件】

据统计，中国一直位居对巴基斯坦直接投资的首位。巴基斯坦也是最早支持和参与“一带一路”建设的国家之一，同时也是福田汽车在中南亚区域的重要市场。此次巴基斯坦总理来访福田汽车，是对福田汽车在全球商用车领域发展的肯定，福田汽车也将凭借自身在商用车智能制造体系中的技术优势，助力巴基斯坦汽车工业升级、发展。

品牌力驱动“一带一路”打造共荣发展

中巴友谊源远流长，巴基斯坦作为“一带一路”重点国家之一，2002年福田汽车即在巴基斯坦崭露头角，建立了第一个属地工厂。截至目前，已建设销售网络36家，服务网络55家，累计销量14882台。2016年，福田汽车向巴基斯坦警署交付了425台皮卡车，成为福田汽车承担的中国建国以来最大援外项目；参建巴基斯坦喀喇昆仑公路（KKH）及瓜达尔港建设，尤其在春节假期，福田汽车依然在保证质量的前提下，大幅缩短车辆投入使用适应期，满足了交付需求，用实际行动推动瓜达尔港自由区建设。

福田汽车顺应属地市场需求，调整优化产品，凭借产品品质和极具竞争力的价格优势逐渐赢得了海外市场。通过更加属地化的管理模式、更加成熟的服务体系与本土深度融合。福田汽车将智能制造体系及技术优势复制到属地，助力巴基斯坦汽车产业的发展，为巴基斯坦培养优秀的汽车人才、创造就业，并进一步完善福田汽车中南亚市场的产业布局。

在“一带一路”创新、开放、共赢的倡议下，福田汽车在全球产业化发展过程中，更加追求与属地合作伙伴建立长效合作机制，努力打造更为紧密务实的伙伴关系网络。通过更加开放、创新的属地产业投资与合资合作模式，福田汽车朝着有利于当地产业建设方向发展，创新打造了其践行“一带一路”2.0的新动能。

Get a factory that produces trains to Pakistan to.

 

[Adam WANG SHANGHAI MEGA]

Firstly get factories established in Pakistan wherever they comes from or whatever ownership they present,then build your own or at least partially your own factories and brands(Pakistani brands,when everythings in Pakistan are mature,such as infrastructures,law system,labor regulations,mordern company management system,open mind and skilled labor force,investment freindly environment) to march into middle and high end industries fields,this will takes 30 years to 80 years to accomplish but is the right thing to do,even China itself is still only beginner of the 2rd phase,but Huawei is already leading the world.

Economic laws tell us that those who do not care economic laws will be punished by economy severely!

 

[shi12jun]

Congratulations to the Pakistani Railway Brothers and hope that the railway will be opened to traffic soon. There is a famous saying in China: If you want to build a road ahead of the road, the train will ring in gold. The cooperation between China and Pakistan brothers has become stronger.
