Looking at some previous info I think this means that PAF and PAC were planing on developing a civil aviation air craft and China is going to help.

As pakistan has gained experience of manufacturing air craft framework under JF-17/FC-1 project,I think Pakistan Aeronautical Complex can participate the manufacturing of some parts of the Comac ARJ21 and the incoming C919 and C929,but maybe not so soon,coz COMAC needs to gain reputation in Aviation and need to delivery as much as aircrafts as possible,for the time being,one supplier is better than many suppliers in order to cooperate and integrate easily and fastly.

China makes many aircraft/trainers, Pakistan can make parts for them.

That is somethings we should do in the near future.

For aircrafts,especially pessager ari crafts,China was also a beginner not long time ago,Pakistan bro could wait and let China accumulate techs and management experiences and then participate the manufacturing of some parts that Pakistan Aeronautical Complex are good at or can be handled by Pakistan Aeronautical Complex engineers with new solutions.

Pakistan has proven it can meet Chinese aviation manufacturing standards through the JF17 programme, so expanding that out to involve Pakistan manufacture certain assemblies for the Chinese Aviation programme makes sense for China. Especially when you consider that the work can be batch based, where Pakistan can osciallate between civilian and military programmes.

I am sure that is the next step for China and Comac to take to make benifits for both our countries.
