Ok Agreed but making an environment, framework to run your mentioned industries should be the first priority. We already have Pakistan steel mill but in loss.Steel and Sulphuric acid are the fuels of industrialisation.
Sadness to me is the happiest time, When a shining city rises from the ruins of my drunken mind. Those times when I'm silent and still as the earth, The thunder of my roar is heard across the universe.
BTW thanks for your courageous response.
"industrialization" is a very vague term. It is open to subjective interpretation and different people will have different ideas about it.
Totally agreed with you specially the part of planing rail line between a coal producing area connected to an iron ore producing area. fortunately Iron ore is found in various regions of Pakistan including Nokundi, Chinot and the largest one in Kalabagh, I think it is Less then 42% quality, Haripur and other Northern Areas too, on 11 February, 2015 The reserves were found in Chiniot, around 160 kilometres northwest of Lahore, by Chinese group the Metallurgical Cooperation of China.
We have also massive coal reserve in tharcoal. But despite all these facts our still mill imports the iron ore & coal too & icing on the cake for the corrupt public office holders & bureaucracy are running this industry which resulted heavy loss. Now again back to square for corrupt mafia of the country. And whole focus will be diverted.
I'm unaware of the on ground progress of CPEC, but from what I've read from media reports, a major part of CPEC seems to focus on building the industrial capacity of Pakistan, has that not gone through?
As for oil, it's like an open secret at this point, developing countries like ours pay more than the developed ones, it's not a very fair economic system imposed on us.
The work is done for the existing industry of pak with the collaboration of Chinese companies. But few industries are facing some difficulties in order to work with Chinese on a speedy phase. My main concerns is final production cost which is comparatively high with the region. Yeah all new SEZs are just in papers no ground reality yet.
