All Day Gwadar Oil City Project -- ISLAMABAD - APP
Gwadar oil city project
Gwadar oil city project stumbles By Khalid Mustafa ISLAMABAD: A mega oil city at
Gwadar port, which is the most strategic project with an investment of $40 billion,
has hit snags as the process of acquiring land has been delayed because of a
massive rise in prices of real estate. The Government of Balochistan has informed
the federal government that the cost of land for the oil city has increased manifold,
which is why it is not possible to acquire land on nominal rates. The government
wants to establish at the Gwadar port the biggest crude and refined oil storage base
in the region, for which it had allotted 12,500 acres of land in 2006. It had
announced that the required land be made available on lease at nominal rates to
interested parties for setting up refineries or making investment in oil logistics and
storage facilities. But in the latest scenario, the cash-strapped Balochistan
government has no money to pay the high cost of the land needed for the project.
An official said the Balochistan administration had told the Centre that it had
identified 100,000 acres of land for the project at a cost of Rs38,000 to 40,000 per
acre. Balochistan also requested for release of Rs3.8 billion to acquire the land and
warned of more increase in land prices if funds were not released timely. Under the
plan, the official said, the project would be executed in two phases. In Phase-1, a
petrochemical city will be set up with an initial investment of $12.5 billion. In this
city, a big refinery, along with petrochemical, oil logistics and storage complexes will
be set up. In the first three years, the refinery will be able to refine 10.5 million
tonnes of oil annually. This capacity will be increased up to 21 million tonnes in
seven to nine years. The official said Chinese Petroleum Chamber would come up
with a $12.5 billion investment plan for the project. On behalf of China, Great United
Petroleum Holdings Company Limited (GUPC) is working on the feasibility study of
the petrochemical city project. The official said GUPC would first conduct the
feasibility study and preparation work for the project and then both countries would
enter into a formal agreement for materialising the petrochemical city project. The
official said GUPC would also build 1,000-2,000 service stations in Pakistan as
service terminals for the petrochemical city.

All Day Gwadar as Capital -- The News
Gwadar as capital
Saturday, May 16, 2009
A proposal is on to make the port city of Gwadar on the Makran Coast Balochistan's
winter capital. The plan could bring big economic gains for the area, currently one of
the least developed in Pakistan, and for the province as a whole. For these reasons
the plan should be encouraged. Using two centres as administrative capitals is after
all not unique, and was the established practice in colonial times when the entire
administrative apparatus shifted with the first heat-laden winds of summer from New
Delhi to Simla.

All Day Shah Zain Bugti to Support PML-N -- LAHORE - The News
Wednesday, August 05, 2009
By By Faizan Bangash
LAHORE: Shah Zain Bugti, the president of the Jamhoori Watan Party (JWP),
Balochistan, and a grandson of slain Baloch leader Nawab Akbar Bugti, has
demanded the trial of former president Pervez Musharraf for subverting the
Constitution and allegedly killing the people of Balochistan.
In an interview with The News the other day, he supported the stance of Nawaz
Sharif on democracy and the Federation, saying his party would back all the
positive steps taken by the PML-N.
Shah Zain alleged that the establishment was conspiring to form another faction of
the JWP, led by Sardar Aali Bugti, to serve its interests. But, he added, the new
faction was being formed under a man who ditched his own people and had no
political standing.
He said formation of the new faction was aimed at dividing the real party of Akbar
Bugti, led by Nawab Talal Bugti, who was nominated by the central executive
committee of the party. He alleged that Aali Bugti had provided information about
the location of Akbar Bugti to the military.

LAHORE
SHAH Zain Bugti, grandson of Nawab Akbar Bugti, has alleged that Indian
involvement is being claimed in Balochistan to justify the military operation. He said
the government should prove the allegations about the Indian interference in
Balochistan with cogent evidences.
He negated the allegations of target killing of Punjabis in Balochistan. The

allegations were wrong because Balochs did not hate Punjabis and considered
them their brothers, he said.

Balochistan wants 250mmcfd of Iran gas for Gwadar: National Assembly informed
ZAFAR BHUTTA
ISLAMABAD (August 08 2009): Balochistan government has requested the federal
government to allocate 250 mmcfd gas for Gwadar port, out of the gas to be
imported through Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project. In the 8th steering
committee/subcommittee meeting of the Economic Co-ordination Committee (ECC),
Balochistan Chief Minister requested for allocation of 250 mmcfd gas for Gwadar
port, Advisor to Prime Minister on Petroleum and Natural Resources Dr Asim
Hussain told National Assembly in a written reply on Friday.
He informed the lower house that the ECC supported the proposal, subject to
clearance of price affordability issue, adding that afterwards the matter would be
taken up by the ECC and the Cabinet for allocation of additional gas to Gwadar
port. Soon after the approval of additional volume, gas would be supplied to the port
of Gwadar, the Advisor said responding to a question raised by Maulvi Asmatullah.
About Saindak project, he said that royalty amounting to Rs 787,268,000 had been
paid to Balochistan government by MRDL from 2004 to December 2008, and no
amount remained unpaid against the Chinese company. The Chinese company
earned Rs 38,989.938 million during last five years, against expenditure of Rs
33,377.14 million.
He said that according to information furnished by Saindak Metals Limited, total

amount of Rs 36,580,000 has been spent by Chinese company, MCC, out of its
income from Saindak project on the provision of facilities to locals like education,
medical, electricity and water. He told National Assembly that oil marketing
companies (OMCs) and oil refineries had earned Rs 14770464 during last six
months, from December 8 to May 9.

The limping Gwadar port By Syed Fazl-e-Haider
Monday, 10 Aug, 2009 | 09:33 AM PST |
In view of the port operations, which have boosted the trucking activity, the Gwadar
Development Authority (GDA) needs to build a truck stand in the port area. — File
The arrival and anchorage of first commercial cargo ship Al-Fahdah carrying 650
tons of dates at the Gwadar deep-sea port on July 22 indicated that the port can
handle big cargo vessels. Presently, three berths are functional but significant
issues in making the port fully operational have yet to be addressed.
‘There are two key issues in port operations: one is land connectivity and other is
land acquisition’, said Khurram Abbas, director PSA Gwadar, while talking to this
scribe on phone. He said, ‘the land under possession of Pakistan Navy and coast
guards has not yet been handed over to the Singapore Port Authority (PSA) for
development of free zone and other port-related infrastructure.’ ‘Without port
connectivity through rail and road links, goods cannot be transported to
Afghanistan, the Central Asian States and other regional countries’, he added.
Abbas said, ‘we need land for the development of a free zone for the port related
facilities at East Bay of Gwadar. Without land acquisition, the PSA is unable to
develop offices, residential facilities, port back up area in the proposed free zone
and provide the traders, industrialists, businessmen, shipping companies,
stevedoring firms, transporters with all possible facilities for doing business at
Gwadar’. The ball is in government’s court to make the port fully functional. Under
the concession agreement signed with PSA in February 2007, the government was
committed to hand over 923 hectares of land to the Singaporean firm by June 2008
on lease for the development of a free zone. The Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) is
bound to acquire 350 hectares for ‘free zone area’ in addition to 584 acres in the
possession of Pakistan Navy and 70 acres with the coast guards.

November 15, 2009 by Moin Ansari

gas pipeline rail track linking Karakorum Highway to Gwadar. the Federal Minister
informed that in this connection a six-member committee comprising equal number
of experts from both China and Pakistan was already constituted to move forward in
this regard. China has already prepared a feasibility report of laying a railway track
in the difficult terrain of Karakoram linking both the states through Khunjarab Pass.
To another question, Bilour said that it was the policy of Pakistan Railways that in
future it would lay all the new tracks as per the international specification. He
explained that at present the existing railway tracks in the country were of broad
gauge whereas internationally the narrow gauge tracks are in vogue.
He said that initially they would be planning to establish a rail link with China and at
later stage they could connect Torkhum with Jalalabad from where they could go
into Central Asian states up to Russia.
To a question he said that India was also expressing interest in getting Rail link with
Iran and Turkey from Pakistan and hoped that this would help boost the country’s
economy.

Germany assures cooperation in railway, CDM, HRD sectors
ISLAMABAD: A German delegation Friday called on minister for Railways, Haji
Ghulam Ahmed Bilour and discussed matters of mutual interests and future
cooperation in railways, Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and human
resources development. The delegation comprised German Consular Head Press
and Economic Section Dr Gregor Schotten and Minister Counselor Deputy Head of
Mission Stephan Roken. During the meeting, the Railways’ Minister sought German
cooperation in CDM and infrastructural development including signaling,
environment and low carbon emission. He requested the German government to
provide grants or soft loans in these sectors and also sought cooperation in freight
train management, adding that in 1970, the Islamabad Carriage Factory was
established following technical and economic cooperation by the German
government. The delegation assured the government of Pakistan for maximum
possible cooperation in CDM, human resource development and hinted at support
for standard gauge for new railway lines from Gwadar to Afghanistan, Iran and
Havelian to China. The delegation said Pakistan railways is environment friendly so
it could be realised that investment could be made by German government in
Pakistan’s railways sector to make it more environment friendly and pollution-free.
The delegation also reassured cooperation in Rolling Stock and highlighted various
aspects of Pak-German historic ties in economic and other sectors, hoping that
these relations would enrich in future. Secretary Ministry of Railways and chairman
Pakistan Railway briefed the delegation about functioning of Pakistan Railways and
its ongoing projects with the cooperation of different international partners. app

invaluable assistance and support for Gwadar Port project had contributed towards
the socio-economic development of Balochistan and would stand as a living
testimony of Pak-China friendship for generations to come. Talking to Sun Ziyu,
President China Harbour Engineering Company at Aiwan-e-Sadr, the Prime
Minister said, “We envisage developing Gwadar not only as a trans-shipment port
but also an energy port which can serve the economic interests of both Pakistan
and China.”
He said the success of Gwadar Port can serve as a catalyst for Chinese exports
from its western regions to the rest of the world, adding “we would like Chinese
enterprises to undertake developmental projects and increased Chinese investment
in the area.”
President Zardari said Pak-China friendly relations and mutual cooperation had
become a shining example of friendly co-existence between two neighboring states.
Minister of States for Ports and Shipping Sardar Nabil Ahmed Gabol, Secretary
General to the President Salman Faruqui and Spokesperson to the President
former Senator Farhatullah Babar were also present during the meeting.

Balochistan package: PC proposes allocation of Rs 31 billion for 36 projects
(ZAFAR BHUTTA)
ISLAMABAD (December 12 2009): The Planning Commission has proposed

allocation of Rs 31 billion under the Balochistan package, which is Rs 7.8 billion
less than the package allocated for the Prime Minister's constituency, Multan,
informed sources told Business Recorder on Friday. The Planning Commission has
finalised a list of 36 projects valued at Rs 31 billion under the Balochistan package.
This list will be submitted to Central Development Working Party (CDWP) for
approval and recommendation to the Executive Committee of the National
Economic Council (Ecnec). The special meeting of CDWP was scheduled to meet
on December 9, but was postponed as the venue of the meeting was changed from
the Planning Commission to Balochistan.
"We are waiting for clearance from the Balochistan government to convene a
special meeting of CDWP," sources said, adding that the Prime Minister would also
participate in the meeting. The Federal government intends to signal the
Federation's commitment to the development of Balochistan province and its
people.
The Rs 31 billion Balochistan package compares unfavourably with the Rs 38.180
billion allocated for Multan. Under the Multan package, Rs 13.2 billion funds will be
released during the 2009-10 fiscal year. The Larkana package is valued at Rs 9.6
billion and the government has already allocated Rs 2.1 billion during the current
financial year, said the sources.
Under the Balochistan package, the Planning Commission identified five projects in
food and agriculture, one in education, 12 projects in industry and commerce, four
projects in physical planning, 14 projects in transport and two projects in the water
sector.
In mining sector, the CDWP will consider Reko Diq gold and copper, costing Rs
5.892 billion with foreign exchange component of Rs 2.947 million. According to
joint venture agreement of Reko-Diq project, Chilean mining company, Antofagasta,
and Canadian company, Barrick Gold, jointly hold 75 percent and the Balochistan
government 25 percent shares.
The two foreign companies estimated an investment of five billion dollars over a
period of five years with an investment of one billion to three billion dollars in the
first phase to produce 72, 000 tons of copper per annum. After full commissioning of
the project, the annual export of copper is forecast at 400,000 tons.
The Planning Commission focused on development of road infrastructure that is

considered essential to boost trade activities in Gwadar Port. The CDWP will
consider construction/upgradation of Dirgi-Shabozai (N-70) to Taunsa project,
costing Rs 7.478 billion; reconstruction of the 110-kilometre- long National
Highways N-30 worth Rs 4454.631 million; and construction of Sibbi-Dhadar
section costing Rs 1,008.8 million.
The other projects include: construction of Kanj irrigation scheme in Mawand area
of district Kahlu worth Rs 16.437 million; six dispersal structures on Nario river-
Phase ii worth Rs 1.172 billion; and construction of Ghazi Khokhor dispersal
structures costing Rs 859 million.
In food and agriculture sector, fisheries sector has been given more importance and
"strengthening of fisheries infrastructure along Sindh and Balochistan" worth Rs
1,999.64 million will be tabled before the CDWP. Balochistan province is rich in oil,
gas and mineral reserves and the CDWP is likely to approve "acquisition of three
drilling rigs for Geological Survey of Pakistan" costing Rs 238.561 million.

simple but dignified ceremony held in port city of Gwadar which is deemed a great
step to bolster the Federation. The historic ceremony was attended by Prime
Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, Sindh
Chief Minister Qaim Ali Shah, NWFP Chief Minister Ameer Haider Khan Hoti and
Balochistan Chief Minister Nawab Aslam Raisani, members of Federal and
Balochistan Cabinets. Under the NFC Award, provinces will get 56 per cent share
from the federal revenues and 44 per cent share has been allocated for the Centre.
Under the new formula, the Federation and the provinces of Punjab, Sindh and
NWFP realised the difficulties of Balochistan and agreed to provide the province 83
billion rupees (9.09 per cent) of the provincial pool. Addressing the gathering after
the historic signing of the NFC Award, Prime Minister Gilani congratulated the
nation, federal minister for finance and chief ministers of the four provinces for
reaching a consensus on the Award. “The Federal Government is committed to
empower all four federating units and they will also be given provincial autonomy
which will further strengthen the country,” he added. He assured the 17th
Amendment and 58-2B would be abolished as a constitutional committee was
working in this regard. He said they would remove restrictions on becoming prime
minister for the third time. He said 1973 Constitution was an achievement of
Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto which strengthened the Federation and added that
incumbent government was firmly believed in politics of reconciliation. “Consensus
after 19 years over NFC Award is a proof of the success of our reconciliatory
policy,” the Premier maintained. He pointed out the country would develop only if all
institutions work within their limits and the government was committed to eradicate
corruption from the country. Regretting the toppling of democratic governments,
Gilani said that Ayub Khan had disqualified all the politicians who had played a
significant role in creation of Pakistan. He said former President General (r)
Musharraf removed the government of Nawaz Sharif on charges of kidnapping. He
said Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti was a big supporter of the Federation but he was
brutally murdered and stressed that those who were responsible for his murder
must be tried in a court of law.

LAHORE: Syed Sumsam Ali Shah Bokhari has said that the agreement of all the

‫‪He said that his party follows the policy of reconciliation and this policy should be‬‬
‫‪same for all the Pakistanis.‬‬
‫‪“We are committed to the cause that the constitution of 1973 would be revived in its‬‬
‫‪original shape. We are against all those people who distorted the constitution,” he‬‬
‫‪said and added that the constitutional committee is working on the amendments in‬‬
‫‪the constitution. The PPP refers to Nawab Akbar Bugti as Shaheed and his name is‬‬

‫‪to establish road and rail links which could link Gwadar with other parts of the‬‬

‫‪Hasil Bizengo said that NFC Award is a good step as the formula of NFC has been‬‬

All Day ECNEC likely to approve construction of new Gwadar Int'l Airport --
ISLAMABAD - Daily times
ISLAMABAD: The Executive Committee of the National Economic Council
(ECNEC) in its meeting on January 21 is likely to approve construction of new
Gwadar International Airport (GIA) and allied facilities with initial cost of Rs 7.5
billion including Rs 1.312 billion as Foreign Exchange Component (FEC).
The scheme envisages construction of state of the art GIA, along with allied
facilities over a piece of land already acquired measuring 4300 acres. The airport
would be developed as a green-field airport and all major components of an airport
would be developed as part of this project. The sources claimed that the NGIA
would be the business gateway to Pakistan through the city of Gwadar. The
government has already allocated Rs 750 million in the PSDP 2009-10 for its
construction. Official sources claimed that the government attached high priority to
the development of Gwadar Airport. They said that the new airport would be six
times larger than the existing airport in Gwadar, which would be completed in three
years after its initiation.
Master plan for the project, for which a PC-1 of Rs 7.5 billion has already been
approved with an allocation of Rs 750 million in the current Public Sector
Development Programme (PSDP), has been finalized and the survey completed.
The passenger terminal for Gwadar International Airport is perceived to facilitate
350,000 per year passenger traffic. The Prime Minister at Gwadar was informed
that Oman, which had already contributed $ 17.5 million for the project, is ready to
provide another $ 100 million after beginning construction of the airport. The revised
scheme envisages acquisition of around 4,300 acres of land for construction of GIA
at Gurandani, 26 km east of Gwadar City.
The construction of New Gwadar International Airport forms an integral part of the
overall objective of the transport sector in providing easy and efficient access to the
southern region of Balochistan. The new airport would augment the airport facilities
in Pakistan and as an advantage of its construction; a network of roads and other
essential infrastructure would be developed.
Gwadar, which is strategically located has an enormous trade potential, which could
not only help alleviate poverty and boost the socio-economic uplift of Balochistan
but can contribute in the national economy through transit trade.

Gilani lauds Chinese cooperation for developing Gwadar Port
KARACHI, Feb 8 (APP): Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani has lauded
Chinese cooperation in the development of Gwadar Port.He was speaking as chief
guest at the induction ceremony of PNS Shamsheer at the Naval Dockyard here on
Monday. The keel of the vessel was laid in July 2008 in Hudong Shipyard of China.
The Prime minister also admired the Chinese cooperation in the development of
Gwadar Deep Sea Port which has significantly contributed towards strengthening
the maritime infrastructure in Pakistan.
Prime Minister Gilani said the port has opened new avenues of growth and
prosperity in Balochistan. The port would serve as a vital link in developing over-
land trade route from Makran coast to the western region of China and the Central
Asian republics, he added.
The Prime Minister said he was aware that the Pakistan Navy was also focusing on
the development of coastal areas through its projects like development of Jinnah
Naval Base and other support establishments.
He said the Navy’s lead role in contributing towards maritime awareness among
the people of Pakistan was another positive undertaking that would accrue long
term benefits for the nation.
Gilani reiterated the government’s commitments towards development of the
maritime sector and emphasised upon the Navy not only to defend the sea frontiers
but also ensure safe conduct of maritime activities during peace time.

Automated port ops can change destiny of country: PCA
ISLAMABAD (March 03 2010): President Pakistan Computers Association (PCA)

Munawar Iqbal on Tuesday said deep sea port in Gwadar has the potential to
become the main trade hub for this area. This brilliantly planned project having
radically distinctive economic and strategic importance can change the destiny of
Pakistan, says a news release issued here on Tuesday.
Speaking at a meeting of PCA, Munawar Iqbal said that Gwadar is located only 180
nautical miles from the Strait of Hormuz through which 40 per cent of world's oil
passes. "The port thus emerge as the key shipping hub in the area providing mass
trade to Central Asian Republics as well as across Pakistan and China," he said.
He further said that large ports with huge cargo handling capacities can attract
business community if efficient, modern and transparent customs services were
also made available. "The efficiency, transparency and speed that has become
available to Customs today through the Automated Customs system of PaCCS,
was the only logically solution for Gwadar," said Munawar Iqbal.
Munawar Iqbal said that the multi-billion- rupee projects of Gwadar port and Rs 7.5
billion Gwadar Airport should be connected to the rest of the country through world
class network and roads. "These facilities should be fully automated so that
importers as well as exporters can carry out business activities successfully and
with peace of mind. He said that capacity of 4,300-acre Gwadar airport should be
increased to handle 1.5 million passengers and 70,000 tons of cargo a year.
Business community hope that political leadership will use their acumen to pacify
negative feelings among some locals to get maximum advantage of the project,
said Iqbal.

Antofagasta sees Reko Diq operational in 2015
Balochistan is apprehensive about foreign companies mining Reko Diq site.

By Reuters
April 09, 2010
Santiago: Antofagasta Minerals is confident it will start producing copper at

Pakistan’s Reko Diq mine by 2015 despite friction with local authorities.
The development of the mine has been opposed said the company’s CEO Marcelo
Awad said on Wednesday.
Pakistan’s government is keen about seeing the project through, despite opposition
by the regional government of the Baluchistan province, said Awad.
“There were a lot of rumours and a lot of negative press earlier this year, but that
was a misunderstanding of a cabinet resolution of the Baluchistan province …
we’ve met the chief minister and he’s still very supportive to see the project up and
running,” Awad said. A provincial government official told Reuters in January that
the project may be canceled, but Awad later said that view was held by a small
minority pressing for independence of Baluchistan.
He said that regardless of the friction with Baluchistan officials Antofagasta hopes to
bring the Reko Diq mine on stream in 2015.
Antofagasta and Canada’s Barrick Gold Corp each have a 37.5 per cent stake in
the project, with the provincial government holding the remaining 25 per cent.
“We’re at this moment finalising the feasibility study and the environmental impact
assessment. We plan to apply for a mining licence to the Baluchistan government
during the middle of this year,”he said.
London-listed Antofagasta expects Reko Diq to produce by itself roughly as much
as the whole group churns out currently. Antofagasta produced 442,500 tons of
copper last year and expected production of 540,000 tons in 2010 due to the
expansion of its flagship Los Pelambres mine in Chile.
Based on 2008 production figures, a move to one million tons would make
Antofagasta the world’s fourthbiggest copper producer.

All Day Handling of $100 million Saudi urea at Gwadar: TCP, PSAG and
stevedore companies in litigation -- Business Recorder
Handling of $100 million Saudi urea at Gwadar: TCP, PSAG and stevedore
companies in litigation
ISMAIL DILAWAR
KARACHI (2010-04-27) : The smooth handling of thousands of tonnes urea
imported from Saudi Arabia on deferred payment of around $100 million may be
clouded at Gwadar Port where the clash in relevant rules is said to have brought the
Singaporean operator and local users at loggerhead with each other.
The sources told Business Recorder that two stevedoring companies, M/s Portstar
and M/s Waqar and Company, have sued the Trading Corporation of Pakistan
(TCP) in a local court for what they claim breaching a one-year stevedoring
agreement signed between the two on July 17 last year.
They said the stevedores had pleaded that the state importer had violated the pact
through awarding an 'out of tender' stevedoring contract to the Port of Singapore
Authority Gwadar (PSAG), the concessionaire of Gwadar Port, for the handling of at
least 0.25 million tonnes importable cargo at the deep seaport.
They said under the post-tender agreement the TCP had awarded a one-year
stevedoring contract to the lowest bidder, M/s Portstar and M/s Waqar and
Company, for cargo handling at Gwadar Port at the rate of Rs 798 per ton. "TCP
awarded work to the PSA Gwadar out of tender ignoring an agreement with the
stevedoring firms that would expire in July this year," the sources said.
They claimed that the Corporation was enticed by an offer of Rs 725 per ton from
the PSAG's which, unlike the other private firms, was not liable to pay any taxes
under the Concession Agreement. However, Sindh High Court is said to have
issued a stay order to the respondents, the TCP and the PSAG, also made a party
to the case, directing the former not to assign further vessels to the latter till next
hearing which is scheduled on the 13th of next month.
The court, in what the sources said its interim judgement, further directed that next
vessel at the port should be allocated to the petitioners at arrival. The sources in
TCP told Business Recorder that the court's order was implemented last Saturday
and since then the petitioners were discharging the vessel, M/v Tala carrying
26,558 tonnes urea.
"In fact the matter is between the PSAG and the stevedores... we awarded the work
to PSA after taking a nod from the PPRA which allowed us to go for direct
negotiations with the PSA," the TCP officials said. The dispute arose when the
Singaporean port operator pressed on its "sole and exclusive right" to stevedoring
work at Gwadar Port under Article 4.1 of the Concession Agreement.
Whereas the two stevedoring companies try to make their point by referring to their
one-year contract with the TCP, the officials in PSAG reject the contract as invalid
saying the stevedores were not qualified for the contract that requires a bidder to
have a license from the competent authority, namely Gwadar Port Authority.
"In its tenders TCP's eligibility criterion requires a bidder to possess license of work
at the concerned port," they said. On the other hand, the sources said, the
stevedoring firms question the PSAG over lack of equipment, like bagging plants,
grips etc, and the resultant slow rate of discharge which the TCP officials, however,
said on a satisfactory average of over 3,000 tons per day.
The PSAG officials also rejected the claim as baseless saying the gear had never
been a problem for an internationally-reputed port operator like the PSA. All said
and done, the dispute would keep haunting efficiency of the cargo-starved
Balochistan-based deep seaport until and unless the relevant rules are clearly
defined and are respected by all concerned in a letter and spirit.

China has taken the lead in developing Pakistan’s Gwadar port city as an emerging
energy hub with oil refining capacity, tanker capacity, and transit point for the
recently announced Iran-Pakistan natural gas pipeline. It is expected that China
seeks to take full advantage of the Gwadar facilities by establishing a network of
pipelines to Xinjiang in order to reduce its dependence on the long and insecure
sea route that it must currently rely upon for some 80% of its energy imports.

China to build two 650-MW Nuclear Reactors in Pakistan - Chashma-3 and -4.
After the completion of 300 MW Chashma-I and Chashma-II Nuclear reactors China
today signalled building of two more Nuclear Reactors. Pakistan Deal Signals
China's Growing Nuclear Assertiveness
A mum US watches the pending Sino–Pakistan reactor deal turn into reality and
reflects the growing confidence and assertiveness of China’s nuclear energy
program. Contrary to guidelines adopted in 1992 by nuclear equipment supplier
states in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), China is poised to export two
650 MW Nuclear power reactors to Pakistan. This transaction is about to happen at
a time when China’s increasingly ambitious nuclear energy program is becoming
more autonomous.
Guidelines of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), representing 46 NPT states, call
on parties to the NPT not to supply nuclear equipment to non–nuclear-weapon
states without comprehensive IAEA safeguards, including Pakistan. China joined
the NSG in 2004.
The United States and other NSG states may object to the pending transaction but
they cannot prevent China from exporting the reactors. Senior officials in NSG
states friendly to the United States said this month they expect that President
Barack Obama will not openly criticize the Chinese export because Washington, in
the context of a bilateral security dialogue with Islamabad, may be sensitive to
Pakistan’s desire for civilian nuclear cooperation in the wake of the sweeping U.S.–
India nuclear deal which entered into force in 2008 after considerable arm-twisting
of NSG states by the United States, France, and Russia. The United States may
also tolerate China’s new nuclear deal with Pakistan because Obama wants
China’s support for United Nations Security Council sanctions against Iran this
spring.
China’s Civilian Nuclear Industry On The March:
The pending Sino–Pakistan reactor deal reflects the growing confidence and
assertiveness of China’s nuclear energy program as it establishes a track record of
reliability in reactor construction and operation. Chinese nuclear entities are wary of
interference from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in their programs
and are keen to establish their freedom of action vis-à-vis cooperating foreign
governments and firms. China within a few years also wants to become a global
nuclear equipment exporter.
If China succeeds, ten years from now it will likely become the world’s second-
biggest nuclear power generator after the United States. After years of bilateral
disputes over nonproliferation issues, in 1998 the U.S. Congress allowed a 1985
Sino–U.S. nuclear cooperation agreement to enter into force. After that, U.S.
nuclear cooperation with China dramatically increased, culminating in China’s 2006
selection of a consortium of companies led by Westinghouse to build four AP1000
power reactors in China. Westinghouse bested bidders from France and Russia in
a competition set up by China to determine which of the three would provide the
technology blueprint for the future standardized development of China’s nuclear
power industry.
China chose Westinghouse after it agreed to transfer to China ownership of the

technology for the new and untried 1,000-MW reactor. China then awarded
contracts to Westinghouse and its partners to build four AP1000s in China. The first
two are scheduled to be finished in 2013. Westinghouse scored another coup when
in 2008 China selected AP1000 for China’s first raft of inland power reactors.
Westinghouse’s apparent emergence as primus inter pares among foreign reactor

vendors in China in 2006 was linked to the fortunes of the State Nuclear Power
Technology Co. (Snptc). It was set up by China’s State Council of Ministers to take
110

Thu
charge of technology selection and transfer for China’s future nuclear power
program, after two decades during which China organized a handful of “boutique”
reactor projects in cooperation with Canada, France, Japan, and Russia.
China also does not share NRC’s view that a terrorist attack on reactors, using a
hijacked passenger aircraft as a weapon, is a realistic enough scenario to warrant
modifying the design. Right now, China operates only eleven reactors representing
about 9 gigawatts (GW) of installed generating capacity, but these have established
a record of reliability, and have convinced China’s leaders that nuclear power is
safe, efficient, and profitable. Fed by galloping energy demand and concerns for
global warming among Chinese leaders, China’s appetite for nuclear power is now
increasing. In 2005 China expected to have 40 GW on line by 2020. Chinese
officials and executives now routinely assert that by 2020 China will have a total
installed capacity over 70 GW. If China succeeds, ten years from now it will likely
become the world’s second-biggest nuclear power generator after the United
States.
Shortly after China selected Westinghouse to shape its nuclear future, rival Areva
made a separate deal with China to build two of its new EPR reactors in
Guangdong Province in China’s southeast, where French nuclear firms have been
engaged since the late 1980s. Unlike Westinghouse, Areva also offered China a
suite of fuel cycle technology options, and French officials hoped that a mammoth
fuel cycle deal would coax China to continue building the EPR.
In line with plans by China to build more reactors, China promulgated that it would
follow the path of France, Russia, and Japan and embark on commercial-scale
plutonium separation from China’s spent fuel, and recycle of the plutonium as
reactor fuel. Areva offered China to help set up a reprocessing industry in China,
modeled on its own experience in France. More recently, Russia has made a
counteroffer to do the same, vowing to integrate Chinese labs into advanced fuel
cycle R&D work now ongoing in Russian centers.
China’s nuclear power program has become more aggressive, politically organized,
and independent of its foreign partners in the wake of recent changes in China’s
decision-making structure. China will certainly build more reactors than it
anticipated when beginning in 2003 it organized the competition leading to selection
of Westinghouse. But many or most of these set up this decade will likely not be
AP1000s or EPRs but instead be based on the original French design built in
Guangdong and now dubbed China Pressurized Water Reactor or CPR-1000. To
meet China’s higher targets for more nuclear capacity, China is now replicating
these CPRs.
Rumors in Beijing circulated last month that China will therefore go back on its plan
to permit Westinghouse to build all of the first group of inland power reactors in the
country. Chinese officials won’t confirm that, but utility executives―including at
China Power Investment Corp. (CPI), a major AP1000 investor—said that China
through 2020 will shift resources away from more AP1000s and instead toward
cookie-cutter construction of the CPR at many Chinese locations, including at inland
sites.
In the meantime, the ambitious construction schedule for the U.S.-designed

reactors in China has come under heavy pressure.
In part out of Chinese concern to keep construction on track, China’s nuclear

regulator, the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA), will not agree to a
proposal, favored by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and
Westinghouse, to modify the design of the containment structure of the AP1000 to
provide improved protection against an air crash. In the United States, NRC, after a
design review prompted by post-9/11 concerns about terrorist threats, asked
Westinghouse to change the design of a shield building which is part of the
containment and to use stronger materials. Westinghouse then urged China to also
follow that advice.
China will not do that, Beijing officials said last month after consultations with

Westinghouse and U.S. regulators. “China will build Revision 15,” the AP1000
design version originally approved for construction in both the United States and in
China, one official said. “It will not approve Revision 17,” which incorporates the c

All Day China's Pakistan Corridor -- China Pakistan investment moid ansari

China's Pakistan Corridor
Even though Pakistan is fighting its war on terror China is investing in Pakistan's
economy like there is no tomorrow. China's main interest in the treacherous territory
of Balochistan are the copper mines and the Gwadar Port on the Arabian Sea.
In the Pakistani province of Balochistan, South Asia and central Asia bleed into the
Middle East. Bordered by Afghanistan, Iran and the Persian Gulf, and well endowed
with oil, gas, copper, gold and coal reserves, Balochistan is a rich prize that should
have foreign investors battering at the gates. But for a half-century it has been the
exclusive playground of the Pakistani government and its state-owned Chinese
partners. China would prefer it to stay that way.
China is Pakistan's oldest military and political ally, but in the last two decades it is
the economic component of the alliance that has taken center stage. Pakistan, and
in particular Balochistan, is China's physical link to its sizable investments in Iranian
gas, Afghan hydropower and Gulf oil. Explains Andrew Small, a fellow at the
German Marshall Fund, the Sino-Pak relationship "matters more now, because of
India's economic growth. Pakistan being a trade and energy corridor means that
possible pipelines and projects [in Pakistan] have a strategic significance beyond
the specific investments." Chinese control of Pakistan's commodities corridor can
"bind India down in South Asia, restricting its capacity to operate elsewhere."
Chinese companies have poured at least $15 billion into Baloch projects: an oil
refinery, copper and zinc mines and a deepwater port at Gwadar, in the Gulf of
Oman. "They wanted Gwadar to be another Dubai," says Khurram Abbas, the port's
managing director, "to capture the transit trade with countries that are landlocked,
like Afghanistan, and to encourage transshipment trade from the Persian Gulf to
East Africa."
China's Tianjin Zhongbei Harbor Engineering has invested $200 million to build the
first three berths and plans to invest a total of $1.6 billion to expand the port in the
future. But business at Gwadar has been slow. Though the three berths have the
capacity to handle $2 billion worth of cargo a year, the port saw only $700 million in
2009. "The challenge," says Abbas, "is that Gwadar is not yet linked to the rest of
the country. The government was supposed to provide road connectivity. Without
roads there can be no commercial activity [in Balochistan]. And we need
commercial activity, investors to set up factories around Gwadar, to get cargo for
the port."
China is taking matters into its own hands, starting to build a highway from Gwadar
to the capital of Balochistan, Quetta, on the Afghan border, where it will connect to
Pakistan's national highway network, and from there to the Karakoram Highway that
leads into China. China's Harbor Engineering Corps is also working on a new
airport at Gwadar, due to open in 2013.
Infrastructure is not the only challenge that Chinese investors in Balochistan face.
The province is a key battleground in the wars currently threatening Pakistan.
Quetta is rumored to be hiding wanted leaders from the Afghan Taliban. Small
towns in the Baloch heartland, meanwhile, are a launchpad for a decades-old
separatist movement that capitalizes on populist resentment of federal agencies
and foreign investment Chinese firms can usually weather these threats. Explains
the German Marshall Fund's Small, "They are less concerned about security than
the U.S. because they have faith in the Pakistani military's ability to look out for their
interests, a level of faith that Chinese workers will get privileged levels of protection
even amidst destabilizing [political] circumstances." Unsaid: China is willing to play
in the bribery culture traditional to the area.
Moreover, China recruits local figures as managers. Muhammad Sanjrani, the

managing director of China's Saindak copper mine in Chagai, Balochistan, is also
the head of the local tribe, with historic control of the Chagai region, and has
113

worked to sell the project to the populace.
Beijing is willing to play hardball to protect its position in Balochistan. That's a

lesson learned the hard way for Tethyan Copper, a joint venture between Canada's
Barrick Gold ( ABX - news - people ) and Chile's Antofagasta. In 2006 Tethyan
signed a deal to survey, and then develop, the Reko Diq reserve in Balochistan,
estimated to hold $70 billion in copper and gold.
Though the provincial government holds a 25% stake in the venture, the deal was
signed between the federal government and Tethyan's foreign execs, and no
prominent tribal authorities are involved. As a result, the mine has been unusually
unpopular, exacerbating threats to other foreign investments in the province,
including China's highway project.
In January the Baloch government, struggling politically and looking to appease

separatist hardliners, announced it would cancel Tethyan's license and force
investors to absorb a $3 billion loss. Almost immediately the U.S. intervened,
putting pressure on the Pakistani central government to dissuade Quetta from doing
this. U.S. diplomats believe the sanctity of the Tethyan deal is essential to its efforts
to encourage Western investment in Pakistan as a counter terror tool.
For China, however, American intervention was an alarm bell, confirming

longstanding suspicions in Beijing that Pakistan's alliance with the U.S. in
Afghanistan would come at the expense of China's relationship with the Pakistani
military establishment and its exclusive access to Pakistan's wealth and strategic
location.
But the confrontation between Pakistan's central government, responding to U.S.

pressure, and a more intransigent provincial leadership also presented China with
an opportunity. The giant Metallurgical Corp. of China, which controls the Chinese
stake in the Saindak site, bid to take over the Reko Diq site from Tethyan, too.
Though the provincial and federal governments have yet to agree, MCC made a
compelling case. In private meetings with Baloch leaders the Chinese
representatives agreed to build a railroad and a power plant in Balochistan as well
as to waive any requirements for sovereign guarantees. Says a frustrated William
N. Center, the U.S. State Department's foreign commercial attaché in Pakistan,
"These are terms that no private company could compete with."
Push to the Sea

A highway from Gwadar to Quetta will serve as a pipeline for China. Metallurgical
Corp. of China, a stakeholder in the Saindak copper mine, is aiming to take over
Barrick's Reko Diq site.
Reko Diq :
Reko Diq is a small town in Chagai District, Balochistan, Pakistan, in a desert area
70 kilometres north west of Naukundi, near to the Iran-Afghan border.
Reko Diq, also the name of an ancient volcano, literally means sandy peak, but this
is something of a misnomer. It could be called Tangav Diq, or gold peak, because
according to development expert Syed Fazl-e-Haider, below the sands lie some
12.3 million tons of copper and 20.9 million ounces of gold. The copper-gold
deposits at Reko Diq are believed to be even bigger than those of Sarcheshmeh in
Iran and Escondida in Chile.
Reko Diq is a large copper-gold porphyry mineral deposit on the Tethyan belt,
located in southwest Pakistan in the province of Balochistan in which Barrick holds
a 37.5% interest. A pre-feasibility study was completed in third quarter 2009; a full
feasibility study is being finalized and is under review and progress continues with
the expansion studies and the baseline environmental and social impact
assessment which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2010.

All Day How quickly can Pakistan tap into huge coal reserves -- APP
How quickly can Pakistan tap into huge coal reserves
Posted on 30 April 2010
Vision needed to use huge coal reserves to build Carbon-Chemical industry
Should Pakistan burn coal or use coal set up carbon-chemical industry which could
be utilized to export value added materials to the planet and used for domestic
consumption. Burning coal is like burning sandal wood. How quickly can Pakistan
wean itself off the “burning coal” paradigm–perhaps after using it to meet the
immediate energy needs. A lack of vision would just burn the carbon–smart people
can come up with a lot of innovation.
Pakistan coal reserves are estimated at 175 billion tons which according to the
Vice-Chancellor (VC) of Punjab University, Professor Dr Mujahid Kamran equal 618
billion barrels of crude oil. According to the most reliable analytical reports Saudi
Arabian crude oil reserves are estimated at around 260 billion barrels. At 60 Dollars
per barrel this equates to 3708 Billion Dollars or approx. 4 Trillion Dollars (at current
prices). At future prices these reserves will be worth 8 or 24 Trillion Dollars. This is
enough money to build the most modern infrastructure, the best roads, the best
hospitals, the best education, the best universities, the best hi-speed rail system
and the best public transportation system on the planet
ISLAMABAD – President Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry Zahid
Maqbool Friday said there is need to utilise Thar coal as it has the potential to
produce 100,000 MW for 300 years, which is the solution of the power crisis.
He observed this while presiding over a meeting of ICCI Sub Committee on Energy.
“According to the Geological Survey of Pakistan (2005), Pakistan has huge coal
reserves of about 185b tons bulk of which are located in Sindh,” he informed,
He said that all South Asian economies including Pakistan are confronted with a
massive crisis of power shortage leading to excessive load shedding due to which
their economies are badly suffering. However, they can overcome this problem if
they agree to a single point agenda of utilising untapped energy potential found in
Pakistan and Nepal, he opined.
Not only Pakistan but Nepal also has the largest hydropower potential in South
Asia, as it possesses 83,000 MW of hydroelectric power potential he said and
added that both the countries have the potential to meet the energy needs of the
entire South Asian region, but due to financial constraints, they could not tap this
potential.
He stressed that to exploit this massive energy potential coal and water in Pakistan
and Nepal, South Asian countries including India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and
Bhutan should pool their financial resources and technical expertise and start mega
energy projects in Pakistan and Nepal and develop a consensus energy distribution
formula for meeting their energy needs.
He said there are many examples of power sharing among countries of Africa, Latin
America, Central Asia and South East Asia and South Asian countries should also
take benefit from such arrangements.
KARACHI: The Thar Coal and Energy Board has constituted a committee to
prepare a formula for determining Thar coal price based on international best
practices.
The committee consists of Murad Ali Shah, Secretary Irrigation and Power and
Asad Ali Shah, a private member of the board.
Board’s secretary Aijaz Ali Khan told Dawn that while Ogra is regulatory regime for
determining prices of oil and gas, there is no coal pricing agency or pricing formula
in place for Thar coal.
He said that the absence of regulatory regime for Thar coal is one of the barriers in
determining tariff for coal-fired power plants to be set up at Thar.
In the past a Chinese company, which had reached an advance stage of setting up
a power plant at Thar, was refused a reasonable tariff by a federal agency, which
compelled the company to pack off.
115
Fri
Meanwhile, the Thar Coal and Energy Development department is preparing
detailed information guidelines, which will provide specific information on legal and
regulatory framework as well as commercial benefits to the national and
international investors participating in international bidding for Thar Coal Block I.
The board has decided to offer 20 per cent Internal Rate of Return (IRR) to firms
which achieve financial close before Dec 31, 2015 for power plants based on Thar
coal.
It will offer 25 per cent IRR to firms, which achieve financial close by 2014.
Two international and two local companies are working in various Thar blocks to set
up coal-fired power plants. A UK firm Cougar Energy is exploiting Block III for
underground coal gasification, which will lead to a 400mw power plant.
UK firm Oracle Gas Fields also plans to develop 1.4 billion tons coal in Block V1
integrating the mine with the construction of a mine-mouth power plant.
The Thar Coal Power Project (TCPP) would attract over $20 billion foreign
investment within next six months, an official of Sindh Coal Authority Board (SCAB)
told Business Recorder on Sunday. According to Sharjeel Memon, one of the
SCABs governors, a host of interested companies from United States, China,
Britain, Singapore, South Korea, Germany, Poland, Australia etc would invest over
$20 billion in the Tharparkar-based energy project.
Memon, who is also the member of provincial assembly of Sindh, revealed that
even the neighbouring India had shown interest in the attractive coal-based power
generation project, TCPP. He, however, opined that tension at border and an
ongoing blame-game between the two nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours were
likely to keep New Delhi away from the project. The SCAB official also linked the
expected investment with an early end to the ongoing political turmoil in the country.
“Lots of MoUs have been signed and a host of foreign firms keen to invest in the
coal sector are visiting the Chief Minister on almost daily basis… work is underway
on war footing basis,” he added. Also, he said, President Asif Ali Zardari, during his
recent visit to China, had inked different MoUs with the investors in Beijing.
He said a nine-member Korean delegation, which had held a “fruitful” meeting with
Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah last Thursday, would soon start boring for
mining in Blocks 4 and 8 of the site.
The coal exploration work would follow the power generation process that, the MPA
said, was a federal subject and would be carried out by Islamabad.
According to Memon the TCPP would help Sindh province generate at least
7000-8000 MW electricity by 2012, which would not only cater to the countrys
3,500MW power shortage, but would also be exported to the neighbouring
countries. He said the provincial government had undertaken a fast track
infrastructure development in Thar, along with a coal based mine-mouth thermal
power plant by a Korean firm at an estimate cost of $3 billion. According to Asad Ali
Shah, another SCAB member, a coal-based power generation plant in Thar would
help Pakistan save a huge sum of $8 billion it was presently paying for imports of oil
to run its power generation units. A recent study has revealed that Tharparkar has
175 billion tons of coal reserves with a best power generation quality, he added.
Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi has said that the feasibility
report of the Thar Coal will be ready by June this year for submission to Sindh
Government. Qureshi said that he has very good interaction with China’s top
corporate leaders here in Beijing and also held talk with a top official whose
company is carrying out the feasibility report on Thar coal. The company will finish
the work on feasibility report by June and thereafter it will be submitted to the Sindh
Government. The foreign minister said that he has discussed the prospects of
utilizing the Thar coal for generating thermal power and was pleased to learn that
the quality of Thar coal is far better than the imported coal being presently used for
the purpose.
“So the chances for using Thar coal for power generation is very bright, according
to initial report”, the foreign minister told APP in an exclusive interview during his
stay in Beijing.

Pakistan to get Shadow Drones and 18 F-16's from the US !
Pakistan is scheduled to get 18 of the Block 52 F-16s, Oliver Hazard Perry Class
frigate by fall and is expected to receive Shadow Drones within a year, a Pentagon
official has said. Islamabad is set to receive all this military help under the enhanced
US-Pakistan strategic cooperation.
"I would like to think that we would get them (Pakistan) within the year," the official
said on Monday. "Shadow (Drone) is one of the things that they had asked for, and
as we expanded and talked about other UAV platforms to be able to use is when
they said: Well, let's take a look at them and then let's make sure we're picking the
right one," the official said, adding that Shadow drones may in fact be the right
platform at the end of the day.
In the last three years, the US has provided 14 F-16s, five fast patrol boats, 115
self-propelled howitzer field artillery cannons, more than 450 vehicles, hundreds of
night- vision goggles, day and night scopes, radios, protective vests and first aid
items to Pakistan's security forces. "Other significant military assistance to be
provided later through this year through our Foreign Military Sales and Foreign
Military Financing programs includes the delivery of the first batch of 18 of the Block
52 F-16s scheduled for the Pakistan Air Force, to arrive sometime this summer; and
an Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate, the first for Pakistan Navy, this fall," the official
said.
In fiscal year 2008, the US provided in excess of USD 1 billion as grants to Pakistan
in security assistance and training. It, then, doubled in the last fiscal to just over
USD 2 billion, and the figure is now projected to surpass this year.
"This significant commitment highlights the importance we place on our strategic

long-term relationship and support for Pakistan," the official said, while observing
that this was being done to assist Islamabad in the fight against terrorism.
The Obama Administration values Pakistan's strategic insight when it comes to

Afghanistan and the region, and continues to consult their leaders closely, as
exemplified by numerous visits by senior US officials to Islamabad, the official said.
"Pakistan, is a key ally, and we face a common enemy and a common goal: a
stable and secure Pakistan and the region," he added.
The Pentagon official said Pakistani officials were recently shown models of some
drones in Afghanistan so that they would articulate their requirements. However, the
US would not provide Pakistanis with drones having strike capabilities. "On the
strike capability of drones, it's not US policy to be able to give any lethal capabilities
with any of the drone technology that we do for any of the countries," the official
said in response to a question.

Tajikistan offered use of Gwadar Port
Saturday, May 01, 2010

ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said Pakistan and Tajikistan have
been facing common challenges.
Talking to media in Dushanbe on Friday, the minister said, “I conveyed the best
wishes of the people of Pakistan, President and Prime Minister to the President of
Tajikistan.” He said: “Tajikistan and Pakistan are great friends, we share common
religion, share borders and now we share hearts.”
While appreciating the leadership qualities of the Tajik president, the minster said
the challenges for these two countries are common. “Especially his leadership,
wisdom has steered out Tajikistan from many challenges and problems,” he said.
Rehman Malik said he held fruitful meeting with minister of defence, head of
security and the interior minister.
“We discussed and worked out a roadmap to further enhance cooperation in the
field of extremism as they exist in the region. We also worked out ways and means
to curb human trafficking, drug trafficking and any heinous crimes.” He said the two
countries will not allow any act of terrorism from the soil of both countries. “We treat
enemies of Tajikistan as enemies of Pakistan.”
Answering a question, he said Tajikistan is helping out and pointing out in taking
action against the terrorists.” Replying to another question, he said there is no doubt
that certain Tajik and Uzbek extremists are fighting out in Swat and Fata. The
minister said there was no room for terrorists in both countries and they will
continue their action.
He said terrorists are enemies of humanity and they have no religion and
boundaries. “They have their own motives and follow their masters. They want to
destabilise Pakistan, Afghanistan and the region,” he asserted. Rehman Malik said
Pakistan has left no stone unturned to fight terrorism and extremism and has
broken their backbone.
“There are many challenges and we have to face it. There is no room for
extremists.” He said the people of Pakistan appreciate the cooperation being
extended by Tajikistan.
The minister said cooperation between Afghanistan, Pakistan and Tajikistan will be
a milestone in fighting terrorism.
He also appreciated the achievements of the government of Tajikistan in the field of

hydro carbon and praised steps, wisdom and leadership of Tajik President for
improving the economy of the country. He hoped that Tajikistan will progress by
leaps and bounds under his leadership. The minister also offered the Tajik
government to use the Gwadar port in future.

All Day Electricity import talks held with Iran team -- Daily Dawn
ISLAMABAD: Iran has sought about 90 per cent increase in tariff for the 39MW of
electricity it currently sells to Pakistan and the two countries agreed on Monday to
expedite import of an additional 1000MW from the Islamic republic.
Informed sources told Dawn that Pakistan had been importing 39MW of electricity
from Iran for Gwadar and border areas of Balochistan at about 5 cents per unit
since 2003.
The import contract has expired and Iran wants to increase the tariff to 9.5 cents per
unit. Pakistan considers it high and has offered 8 cents per unit. The two sides are
yet to formalise a revised contract, according to the sources.
An Iranian delegation led by deputy economic minister for foreign affairs Seyed
Amir Mansoor Baroghei held a meeting here with Pakistani team headed by
Minister for Water and Power Raja Pervez Ashraf and discussed ways of speeding
up work on import of 1000MW electricity.
According to an official statement, the two sides agreed to expedite the import of
1000MW power project and decided to hold experts level meetings every two
months.
The meeting was briefed on the current status of the project. It was informed that
the Pakistani side had completed its feasibility study while the Iranian company,
Mushanir, was yet to complete its report. After completion of feasibility studies work
will start on the project and a transmission line about 700 kilometres long will be
constructed at an estimated cost of $600 million in five years. The tariff for the mega
project would be negotiated after completion of the studies. The Iranian side has,
however, dispelled a perception that electricity would be provided at cheaper rates.
The imported electricity will be for the national grid.
The meeting was informed that work on a 100MW import project for Gawdar would
be completed in June, 2012. It observed that negotiations for the revision of tariff for
the 39MW electricity for Gawadar were in progress.
Raja Pervez Ashraf said Pakistan was taking all possible measures to overcome its
energy crisis, adding that the country was eager to complete the import of 1000MW
power project well before time.
Mr Ashraf accepted Mr Baroghei’s invitation to visit Iran for further talks. He asked
members of the Iranian delegation to use their good offices for early completion of
feasibility report by the Iranian company.
The Iranian minister noted with satisfaction Pakistan’s willingness to buy electricity
from his country and said his country would be happy to help Pakistan tide over the
energy crisis. He said although the import of 1000MW project would take at least
five years because of the long distance high voltage transmission line there was
need to jointly explore ways of completing the important project sooner. He said the
Iranian company would be asked to complete the feasibility report at the earliest.

All Day Chinese companies have poured at least $15 billion into Baloch projects:
-- China's Tianjin Zhongbei Harbor Engineering
Chinese companies have poured at least $15 billion into Baloch projects: an oil
refinery, copper and zinc mines and a deepwater port at Gwadar, in the Gulf of
Oman.
"They wanted Gwadar to be another Dubai," says Khurram Abbas, the port's
managing director, "to capture the transit trade with countries that are landlocked,
like Afghanistan, and to encourage transshipment trade from the Persian Gulf to
East Africa."
China's Tianjin Zhongbei Harbor Engineering has invested $200 million to build the
first three berths and plans to invest a total of $1.6 billion to expand the port in the
future. But business at Gwadar has been slow. Though the three berths have the
capacity to handle $2 billion worth of cargo a year, the port saw only $700 million in
2009. "The challenge," says Abbas, "is that Gwadar is not yet linked to the rest of
the country. The government was supposed to provide road connectivity. Without
roads there can be no commercial activity [in Balochistan]. And we need
commercial activity, investors to set up factories around Gwadar, to get cargo for
the port."
China is taking matters into its own hands, starting to build a highway from Gwadar
to the capital of Balochistan, Quetta, on the Afghan border, where it will connect to
Pakistan's national highway network, and from there to the Karakoram Highway that
leads into China. China's Harbor Engineering Corps is also working on a new
airport at Gwadar, due to open in 2013.

All Day Beijing is reviving the idea of 'empire' with the launch of the world's
most ambitious high-speed rail line --
http://www.newsweek.com/id/237306
The New Silk Road
Beijing is reviving the idea of 'empire' with the launch of the world's most ambitious
high-speed rail line
Thousands of years ago, trade caravans packed with spices and silk crisscrossed
the Eurasian land mass along routes collectively known as the Silk Road. These
caravans connected Constantinople to China's then-capital, Changan, and even
today the city (now Xian) has an ancient Muslim quarter and a self-assuredness
evoking that bygone era. In those days, all roads led to China, which lived up to its
name as the Middle Kingdom. (In Chinese the country is called Zhongguo, literally
Middle Country.) Now with an audacious scheme to link 17 countries with more than
8,000 kilometers of high-speed railway—ultimately capable of transporting cargo as
well as passengers all the way to London—China hopes to revive its role at the
center of the universe.
Even by larger-than-life Chinese standards, the plans seem mind-boggling. The first
long-distance line inside China, linking inland Wuhan to coastal Guangzhou,
opened in December, hit-ting top speeds of 350kph, faster than the speediest trains
of Europe or Japan. Beijing hopes to have 800 bullet trains running across China by
2013 and, soon after that, across the border. Two networks will connect China to
Europe—with terminuses in London and Berlin—and a third will link to Vietnam,
Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, and Singapore. Chinese engineers have begun work in
Burma, and Beijing says Central and Eastern European countries are keen for the
building to start. The planned rail deals will vastly improve China's ability to
transport crucial energy resources from suppliers in developing countries. "If the
system is completed, it'll be more convenient for us to tap into natural resources,
especially oil and gas, in Myanmar, Iran, and Russia," says Wang Mengshu, a
Jiaotong University professor and consultant to China's high-speed-rail projects.
China's vision is at odds with the hopes that opened this century for a world of free
markets and open borders, and it animates many of China's latest mega-projects. A
new gas pipeline from Turkmenistan to China's remote Xinjiang province has
already siphoned off 50 billion of the country's 80 billion cubic meters of gas. China
is helping secure its access to strategic ports in Pakistan, Burma, Bangladesh, and
Sri Lanka. The Chinese leadership is intensely focused on securing and expanding
its shipping routes. These new Silk Roads are a sign of how China sees the world
of the future—less predictable and more dangerous. Threats, including a potential
trade war with the West, and conflicts over energy security abound. Witness
China's unease over U.S. threats of sanctions against one of its main oil suppliers,
Iran. In this world, Beijing believes it will be better to have constructed strategic
facilities—railways, ports, pipelines—especially in less developed countries that
lack experience or financing for such projects. In return, China is eyeing important
long-term transport or supply contracts for natural resources. In one such
technology-for-resources deal, Beijing is building a rail system for Burma in
exchange for Burmese lithium.
Still, Beijing can't control everything that comes and goes on a network this big. If
the ancient Silk Road was one of the first grand avenues of globalization, fueling
trade from the Celestial Kingdom to medieval Europe, the new railroad will be the
latest. All of its lines will carry both passengers and cargo, and are designed to
keep China's economic miracle on track, as trade with Europe and the emerging
markets grows. Thanks to China's energy hunger, its involvement with Mideast
nations is also growing fast, as the Chinese exploit Iranian natural gas, Iraqi
oilfields, and Afghanistan's Aynak copper mine. Ben Simpfendorfer, chief China
economist for the Royal Bank of Scotland and author of The New Silk Road: How a
Rising Arab World Is Turning Away From the West and Rediscovering China, says
mainland merchants are fine-tuning products to appeal to these new consumers.
Chinese-porcelain sellers are hawking less blue porcelain, popular among
European buyers, and more red porcelain, popular among Arab buyers. China's
new Silk Road strategy is meant to fill the vacuum of "strategic emptiness" that
121

Sun
emerged in Central Asia after the fall of the Soviet Union, and could lead to bilateral
tensions. Over the last decade Chinese economic influence has been slowly but
surely eroding Russian power in what Moscow regards as its Central Asian
backyard. Although Beijing has been careful to avoid public confrontation, its
inroads in the region have riled Russians. "By building their new Silk Road [railway],
China is interfering in Russia's sphere of influence in Central Asia," says pro-
Kremlin Russian lawmaker Konstantin Zatulin, the head of the Commonwealth of
Independent States committee in the Duma, Russia's parliament.
The key to the new Chinese empire is not occupying turf but seeking reliable
transport networks that aren't easily disrupted by powerful potential rivals, such as
the U.S., Russia, or even India. Beijing's heavy involvement in developing
infrastructure at Pakistan's port of Gwadar, for example, is linked to the fact that
Gwadar is the downstream hub for pipelines linking Central Asia to China. In short,
the new Silk Road is aimed at building a whole new world of infrastructure links that
diminish Chinese reliance on traditional trade routes through the Strait of Hormuz
(turf of the U.S. Fifth Fleet) and the Strait of Malacca (stamping ground of the U.S.
Seventh Fleet). "If [those waterways] were to become blockaded, it would be a big
problem for Chinese sea transport," says foreign-policy analyst Gao Heng of the
Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, who believes authorities are very concerned
about bottlenecks to energy imports. High-speed rail is part one of a backup plan to
ensure energy security.
All high-speed trains run on the European gauge, meaning that Central Asian
nations will have to change over if Beijing lures them away from the old Russian
models. The geopolitical fallout could be intense. "Chinese projects in Central Asia
sound threatening to Russia's economy, especially if China actually does build the
railroad through Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan," says Azhdar Kurtov, a senior
researcher at the Russian Institute of Strategic Research. "Russia has lost Central
Asia," says Yuri Krupnov of Moscow's Institute of Demography and Regional
Development. While Russia was "asleep" or distracted by conflicts with Ukraine and
Georgia, China moved in—under the cover of the global economic crisis—to seal
energy deals in Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, and now the same will happen with
rail projects in Central Asia, he predicts.
Beijing is already building high-speed rail routes in Turkey, Venezuela, and Saudi
Arabia. It's also signed preliminary agreements with the state of California and
General Electric, reflecting China's hopes to provide technology, hardware,
engineers, and some financing to build high-speed rail lines on the West Coast of
the U.S., which now lags behind China in the field. Officially at least, Beijing
authorities tout the mutual good that its global rail schemes will bring—as well as
the advertisements such deals will represent for the "Made in China" brand.

All Day Chinese companies in recent years have invested billions of dollars in
Baluchistan -- By Tom Wright, The Wall Street Journal;
By Tom Wright
Of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
ISLAMABAD -(Dow Jones)- Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX, ABX.T) and Antofagasta PLC
(ANFGY, ANTO.LN) are considering making a new revenue-sharing offer for
development of a Pakistani gold mine after the local government threatened to
cancel the deal and a Chinese state-owned company tried to muscle in.
In February, Baluchistan's chief minister said the province was canceling Tethyan's
contract and was considering setting up its own public company to develop the
Reko Diq site, one of the world's largest gold deposits located near Pakistan's
border with Iran and Afghanistan.
Any overturning of the deal by the local government could hurt Pakistan's
investment climate, which is already reeling due to Taliban terrorist attacks and a
balance-of-payments crisis that led to International Monetary Fund intervention in
2008, analysts say.
The Reko Diq project, in which Tethyan has invested $500 million since acquiring
the project from BHP Billiton Ltd. (BHP, BHP.AU) in 2006, is one of the few big
investment projects by Western companies in Pakistan, although Chinese state-
owned firms have been more active. Foreign direct investment fell 49% to $1.6
billion in the nine months ended March 31, according to figures from Pakistan's
central bank.
The federal government has been keen to see the project go ahead. A spokesman
for the Pakistan Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources said Tethyan's
contract remains valid. But under Pakistan laws, local governments have the
greater share of say in mining projects.
The Baluchistan government hasn't followed through on its threat to cancel

Tethyan's exploration contract, said Mushtaq Ahmed Raisani, secretary for mines
and mineral development in the Baluchistan provincial government.
Pressure on Tethyan to sweeten its deal increased after a unit of China

Metallurgical Group, a state-owned Chinese company, made a counteroffer to take
over the project, which is believed to contain 12.3 million tons of copper and 20.9
million ounces of gold.
Raisani said Baluchistan province had received a letter from China Metallurgical
offering to develop the project but replied that it had an existing contract with
Tethyan. Attempts to reach the Chinese company Thursday were unsuccessful.
Chinese companies in recent years have invested billions of dollars in Baluchistan,

which is rich in natural resources, Pakistan officials say. Another unit of China
Metallurgical is developing the Saindak copper and gold mine in Baluchistan, not far
from the Reko Diq site.
The Chinese government has given financial and technical assistance to the
development of Gwadar port in Baluchistan, which the government hopes will
become a major global shipping hub and conduit for its natural resources. And
Chinese companies are looking at bidding for infrastructure, power and coal
projects in Baluchistan and other areas of Pakistan, local officials say.

All Day Karzai's Balancing Act: Bringing 'China' In? -- By Shanthie Mariet
D'Souza for ISAS
By Shanthie Mariet D'Souza for ISAS
China’s interests in Afghanistan are perceived to be mainly economic. It is unlikely

that the March 2010 Sino-Afghan joint declaration, following President Hamid
Karzai’s visit to China, will bring about a dramatic change in the present Chinese
policy of abstaining from military engagement in the conflict-ridden country.
However, as the scenario of United States (US) withdrawal from Afghanistan looms
large, China will have to prepare itself for a much larger and crucial role for long-
term stabilisation and reconstruction of the war-ravaged country given that its
interests would be at stake. Its friendly ties with Pakistan would continue to be a
great leverage when it decides to pursue such a policy.
President Karzai’s three-day state visit to China, beginning 23 March 2010,

culminated with the establishment of the China-Afghanistan comprehensive
cooperative partnership. This first visit after the Afghan President’s re-election
evoked immense international attention as an attempt by a beleaguered leader to
indulge other big powers in the region at a time when he faces increasing criticism
on corruption, cronyism and electoral reforms at home and abroad. Considering the
fact that China’s role in Afghanistan thus far has remained limited, this visit has
sparked speculations regarding increased Chinese engagement in that country. In a
joint declaration, Chinese President Hu Jintao emphasised on five aspects of the
cooperative partnership - (1) political and diplomatic; (2) economic and trade; (3)
humanitarian; (4) security and police affairs; and (5) multilateral efforts to build the
comprehensive cooperative partnership of good-neighbourliness, mutual trust and
friendship for generations.
The huge prohibitive costs notwithstanding, the Chinese Metallurgical group is

willing to invest in the insurgency afflicted Logar province. This is in conjunction with
China’s larger regional economic strategy of development of its underdeveloped
western regions and linking them with regional trade routes through Central Asia,
South Asia, Iran and Middle East. In recent years, the region has witnessed highly
visible and substantial Chinese investments into the Gwadar port (Baluchistan
province) and Karakorum Highway in Pakistan and a multi-billion dollar pipeline
from Kazakhstan to Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). Afghanistan and
Pakistan are seen as key transportation and trade links to actualise this strategy
extending from Iran to China. The Gwadar port facilitates China to import 60 per
cent of its energy needs from the Middle East.12

Pakistan, China sign five agreements; Gilani says Chinese support source of
strength
ISLAMABAD, Jun 9 (APP): Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani Wednesday said
China’s support for Pakistan’s security, stability and economic development is a
source of strength.He thanked China for its steadfast support and solidarity to
Pakistan through thick and thin and termed Pakistan-China relations a central pillar
of Pakistan’s foreign policy.The Prime Minister expressed these views at the start of
bilateral talks held between Pakistan and China here at the PM House on
Wednesday evening.The Chinese delegation was headed by Vice Premier Mr.
Zhang Dejiang.Pakistan and China on at the conclusion of the bilateral talks also
signed five agreements.
The agreements included Concessional Loan for PAKSAT I-R Project, Cooperation
in Port Construction and Port-Management-Training, Cooperation in Information
Technology, China-Pakistan Cable System Construction and Maintenance
Agreement and contract agreement for engineering, procurement and construction
works of the Darawat Dam Project.
Earlier, in the bilateral talks, the Prime Minister said that President Asif Ali Zardari
would be visiting China next month and is also expected to meet President Hu
Jintao in Tashkent on the margins of SCO Summit.
He expressed the hope that exchange of high level visits this year would provide
further impetus to our expanding partnership.
Talking about regional situation, Prime Minister Gilani said that establishment of
durable peace and respect for sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of
Afghanistan is a prerequisite for peace and stability of Pakistan.
Applauding Chinese support, the Prime Minister said that Pakistan highly
appreciates the US $ 1 billion Balance of Payment support extended by Beijing in
2008-09.
He said that Pakistan-China friendship is a factor of peace and stability for the
region and “we look forward to jointly celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the
establishment of Diplomatic Relations next year”.
The Prime Minister said that Pakistan strictly adheres to “One-China Policy” and
fully supports China’s principled position on the return of Taiwan to the motherland.
Islamabad regards Tibet as an inalienable integral part of China and is firmly
opposed to any attempts to undermine China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,
he added.
The Prime Minister said that both countries are committed to fight the three evils of
terrorism, separatism and extremism and mentioned in the same context that “we
unequivocally condemn ETIM and assure China of our complete cooperation in
countering and defeating it”.
Appreciating the Chinese assistance/extension of credit in setting up Chashma
Nuclear Power Plants, the Prime Minister said that Mega projects like Gwadar,
KKH, HMC and Neelum-Jhelum Hydro-electric Plant are shining symbols of our
friendship.
Prime Minister Gilani emphasized that Pakistan and China should take full
advantage of the FTA and both Governments should encourage and facilitate the
bilateral cooperation between their private sectors by starting projects mutually
facilitated by both Governments and run by the private sectors.
“We should strive to meet the bilateral trade target of US $ 15 billion”, he
maintained.
He urged the Chinese Government to encourage its private sector and arrange for
a Chinese Buyers delegation’s visit to help bridge the ever widening trade gap
between the two countries.
He stressed the need for Joint Economic Commission and Economic Cooperation
Group to meet at an early date to review the entire range of economic cooperation.
The Prime Minister said that Karakoram Highway is the most vital trade and
strategic link between Pakistan and China and its upgradation would greatly help
boost economic ties.
Unfortunately, some sections of Karakoram Highway, he added, have come under
deep water of Attabad lake, caused by recent landslides. Pakistan would like a
Chinese technical team to evaluate the situation of Karakoram Highway, in the
131

Thu
wake of creation of Attabad lake, with a view of its urgent restoration, he added.
He called on the Government of China to consider immediate assistance for
Pakistan for construction of a bypass on KKH to re-open it for traffic and to facilitate
issuance of visa permits and licenses to the personnel of the transport companies
and business houses involved in arranging much needed surplus from China to the
people of Hunza and other affected areas near Attabad lake.
Pakistan, he maintained, is keen to pursue rail link between Havelian and
Khunjerab, which would provide a direct link between Pakistan and China. The
Gwadar port, he said, will provide an optimal trade route for China, Pakistan and the
Central Asian States after completion of Havelian Khunjerab rail link.
While appreciating the significance of IT sector, the Prime Minister said that both
countries need to explore the possibility of development of an Integrated high-tech
Manufacturing and ICT Services Technology Park in Pakistan and a Telecom
University at a mutually agreed location with Chinese help.
The major Chinese Electronics Companies, he said, should be encouraged to
establish telecommunications equipment production facilities in Pakistan for the
project.
The Government of Pakistan, he maintained, could provide land and incentives
package including corporate and personal tax holidays. Pakistani Companies excel
at outsourced software development and this expertise combined with the skills of
Chinese IT companies can be channelized for setting up of joint ventures between
Chinese and Pakistani IT companies, he said.
The Chinese Vice Premier while reciprocating the feelings expressed by the Prime
Minister said that the growth of relations between Pakistan and China are very clear
and visible.
He lauded the Prime Minister and his family’s role in promotion of ever closer
Pakistan-China friendship and hoped that this remarkable sense of amity will be
passed onward to his next generation.
The Vice Premier noted with satisfaction that contacts at the highest level as well as
people to people have gained strength over the years and resultant expanding
relations had given boost to trade and economic ties and opened up new avenues
of cooperation in the multifaceted ties.
He assured that China would take every possible measure to rectify the trade
imbalance between the two countries.
He stated that relevant Chinese Ministries and departments will be directed to give
top priority and favourable consideration to the specific projects proposed by the
Prime Minister for assistance and cooperation in the fields of infrastructure
connectivity, telecommunications, agriculture, energy, water conservation, and
railways.
The Chinese Vice Premier greatly appreciated Pakistan’s role as a frontline state
against terrorism.
In the wake of economic losses to Pakistan in fighting war against terror, he
assured, China would extend unilateral concessions to Pakistan in trade and
commerce.

Zardari to discuss open access policy for Railways in China visit
Sunday, June 27, 2010

By By Aftab Maken
ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari in his scheduled week-long visit to China
will deliberate upon an open access policy for railways, roads network to China and
other viable options for oil and gas pipeline, The News learnt on Saturday.
Besides these two key sectors, the president with his Chinese counterparts will not

All Day Enhanced Chinese interest in Pakistan -- (Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian
Enhanced Chinese interest in Pakistan
by B.Raman
(July 01, Chennai, Sri Lanka Guardian) The Chinese Foreign Ministry has
announced that at the invitation of the Chinese Government President Asif Ali
Zardari of Pakistan will be visiting China from July 6 to 11,2010, for talks with
President Hu Jintao, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and other Chinese leaders.This will
be his second official visit to China at the invitation of the Chinese Government. His
first visit was in October,2008, shortly after he took over as the President. In fact,
after assuming office as the President, he chose China for his first official bilateral
visit to emphasise the importance attached by him to his country's relations with
China.
2. He had announced during his first visit that he would be visiting various Chinese
provinces once a quarter to learn from the Chinese experience in economic
development. In pursuance of this, he had visited China thrice last year. These
visits were not undertaken at the invitation of the Chinese Government. He visited a
number of Chinese provinces and discussed with the local officials and
businessmen about their experience in developing their provinces. He also
discussed with them prospects for co-operation between their provinces and
Pakistan. During these visits, he did not go to Beijing. The Chinese Foreign Minister
flew to one of the provinces being visited by Mr.Zardari and called on him. Before
leaving for Pakistan, he spoke with Mr.Hu and Mr.Wen over telephone.
3. The most productive of his visits so far has been his visit to Hang Zhou in the
Zhejiang province and Guangzhou in the Guangdong province from August 21 to
24, 2009. During this visit, he sought Chinese participation in the development of
hydel, thermal and solar energy projects, irrigation and fisheries and mobile
telephone networks and in creating facilities for higher technical education,
including the setting-up of a telecommunications university and research complex.
Among the concrete results from this visit were:
* The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to promote cooperation in

river fisheries and related technologies by representatives of the Indus River Fresh
Water Fisheries Research Institute and the Pearl River Fishery Research Institute
of Guangzhou.
* The signing of an MOU for the construction of a dam at Bunji in the Astore district
of Gilgit-Baltistan by officials of Pakistan’s Ministry of Water and Power and China’s
Three Gorges Project Corporation. The Chairman Board of Investment Saleem
Mandviwala and Li Yang’an of the Chinese corporation signed the MoU. The dam,
one of the eight hydel projects short-listed for construction by the Water and Power
Development Authority (WAPDA), will have a capacity of generating 7,000
megawatts of electricity.
* The signing of an MOU on cooperation in drug regulation and production of

hepatitis B and C vaccines.
* The signing of another MOU between the Sindh Agricultural University in

Tandojam and the South China Agricultural University in the Guangzhou province
for cooperation in agricultural research, plant protection and animal husbandry.
* The signing of two separate MsOU by the Board of Investment of Pakistan with
the China Council for Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), Guangdong
province and the Guangdong Sub Council of CCPIT.
4.Mr. Zardari attended a presentation on small and medium sized dams, water
conservation and irrigation by the Zhejiang Design Institute of Water Conservancy
and Hydroelectric Power. Li Yueming, the President of the institute, said they had
carried out feasibility studies of a couple of medium-sized dams in the Pakistan-
Occupied Kashmir (POK).Shakeel Durrani, Chairman of the WAPDA, who was
137
July 1, 2010 Continued
Thu
present on the occasion, said that Chinese companies were already working on a
number of hydel projects in Pakistan, including Neelum-Jhelum and Gomal Zam
and the raising of the height of the Mangla dam in the POK. He said the institute
would be invited to bid for the construction of 12 small dams. Five of these dams
were to be built in Balochistan, four in Sindh, two in Punjab and one in Khyber-
Pakthoonwa.
5.In a report carried by the "News" of August 18, 2009, before Mr. Zardari's visit, Mr.
Kamran Khan, its journalist, alleged that without inviting open bidding from
interested companies and investors, the Pakistan Steel had signed a non-
transparent secret MoU with the Metallurgical Corporation of China (MCC) for a
$2.2 billion expansion programme to raise its current production capacity of 1.1
million tons to five million tons. According to him, contrary to relevant government
rules and regulations as well as basic norms of transparency, the Pakistan Steel
didn’t place any advertisement in the local and international press to seek the best
international offers before entering into secret negotiations with the Chinese
company, which was long seeking to clinch this deal. He said: "The most shocking
element of this MoU, available with this correspondent, which will bind Pakistan with
an additional foreign loan of $2.2 billion, is a clause that requires complete secrecy
of this understanding. Clause 6.1 of this MoU states: “This MoU and any
discussions related to it shall remain strictly confidential between the parties and no
public announcement shall be made without written consent of both parties.”
Kamran Khan quoted a Pakistani official as saying: “This was not our requirement
but the Chinese company asked for this secrecy clause and we agreed.”
6. During his interactions with local officials and businessmen in the course of this
visit, Mr.Zardari kept pointing out that the Western regions of China now being
developed were closer to Pakistani ports than to Chinese ports and invited ideas
and proposals for developing rail and road communications between Pakistan and
Xinjiang. Since taking over as the President, he has reportedly been pressing the
Chinese for early implementation of the ideas mooted by Pakistan when
Gen.Pervez Musharraf was in office for the construction of gas and oil pipelines
between the Chinese-constructed port of Gwadar and Xinjiang and for the
construction of a railwayline between Pakistan and Xinjiang. Pakistan had also
mooted with Beijing the idea of China purchasing part of the gas which will be
coming into Pakistan from Iran when the proposed Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline is
completed.
7. The Chinese have agreed to conduct a feasibility study on the proposed railway
line between Pakistan and Xinjiang. Two MsOU were signed on October 28, 2009,
and March 6,2010, between the Railways Ministry of Pakistan and China Railway
Group Limited on the feasibility study. The progress made in this regard is expected
to be discussed during Mr.Zardari's forthcoming visit to Beijing.

Ambassador invites Pak businessmen to visit Tajikistan
LAHORE, July 2 (): Ambassador of Tajikistan Zubaydullo Zubaydov has invited
Pakistani businessmen to take part in the Business Forum being arranged by the
Tajik government from July 18 to 22 in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan, to
promote trade between both countries.Addressing a meeting held at the Lahore
Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Friday, he said marvellous opportunities in
fields including pharmaceutical, textiles, fresh fruits, juices, milling products, sugar,
beverages, oil, inorganic chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, soaps were available to
Pakistani businessmen.
He said that traders should visit Tajikistan for getting first-hand knowledge.The
Ambassador said that presently huge business between Pakistan and Tajikistan
was being done through third party, depriving Pakistani businessmen of real
dividend, therefore, the business community in Pakistan should initiate a direct
contact with their Tajik counterparts to expedite the volume of two-way trade.
He said Tajikistan had eased its visa policy for Pakistanis with the sole purpose of
promoting trade and investment in both countries.
The Ambassador said during the visit of the President of Republic of Tajikistan to
Pakistan eight agreements were signed between the two governments and the
agreements contributed a lot to enhance and develope economic relations between
Pakistan and Tajikistan.
Speaking on the occasion, LCCI Vice President Faisal Iqbal Sheikh said that it was
very encouraging that both Tajikistan and Pakistan were trying to revive and
strengthen their historical relationships, which he added remained dormant during
the period of Soviet occupation of Tajikistan.
He said a greater interaction among chambers of the two countries, exchange of
trade delegations and holding of single country exhibitions could increase the
volume of our trade.
He said Pakistan would also be able to serve as a trade corridor for Tajikistan
through the Gwadar port connected to the Central Asian States and China with a
network of roads.

All Day PM calls for taking Pak-Sino bilateral ties to new heights -- Daily Times
PM calls for taking Pak-Sino bilateral ties to new heights
* Gilani says Pakistan has always adhered to Òne China Policy’ considering
Taiwan part of the mainland
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister (PM) Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani on Friday expressing
his satisfaction over Pakistan’s longstanding comprehensive strategic partnership
with China called for re-doubling of the efforts by both sides to take the bilateral
relations to new heights.
The PM was talking to Liu Jian, the newly-appointed Chinese ambassador to

Pakistan who called on him at the Prime Minister’s Secretariat. Gilani expressed
confidence that the new Chinese ambassador would continue the tradition of the
previous ambassadors in further strengthening the friendship between the two
countries. He assured the ambassador of his government’s complete cooperation in
pursuing his mission and in supplementing his efforts in this regard.
The PM stated that Pakistan deeply valued the contributions of the Chinese
government and its cooperation for the economic development of Pakistan. He said
that Pakistan has always adhered to the Òne China Policy’ and considers Taiwan a
province of China and regards Tibet as an inalienable part of the Chinese mainland.
The PM noted that both the countries were committed to fighting the three evils of
terrorism, sectarianism and extremism and Pakistan had unequivocally condemned
the nefarious activities of the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM). He
reaffirmed that Pakistan would continue to extend its fullest cooperation to China in
countering and fighting the ETIM threat in the future as well. Gilani termed the
regular contacts between the two countries particularly the people to people
contacts and youth exchanges as vital for passing on the excellent Pakistan-China
ties to the future generations.
He was of the view that President Asif Ali Zardari’s visit to China next week would
open up new vistas of bilateral cooperation as a number of memorandum of
understandings (MoU) and agreements were to be signed by the two sides during
that visit.
The PM also reiterated his invitation to the Chinese premier to visit Pakistan and
asked the Chinese ambassador to convey it to the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao
that the government and people of Pakistan were keenly looking forward to
welcome him, later this year.
Gilani thanked the Chinese government for its prompt action to send its technical
team for assessing the damages caused to Karakoram Highway by the artificial lake
at Ataabad. He hoped that on submission of the Chinese team’s report, both the
sides would jointly take the required measures to immediately address the problem.
Welcoming the satisfactory progress in the ongoing Karakoram Highway upgrade
project, the PM stated that Pakistan would also welcome the investment by the
Chinese corporations to develop infrastructure and connectivity projects linking
Gwadar to upper parts of the country and establishment of transportation,
communication and oil and gas pipeline corridors.
He also hoped that the Chinese government would continue assisting Pakistan in
the defence sector and in the ongoing joint defence production projects would be
resolutely pursued. Ambassador Liu Jian conveyed to the PM, the best wishes of
the Chinese prime minister.
He termed his appointment as ambassador of his country to Pakistan as a singular

honour and assured the PM of his determination to work for further strengthening
and promotion of the bilateral relations between Pakistan and China during his
tenure.
He expressed the hope that Pakistan would also accord him the same level of

China to invest $10b in hydro-power projects in Pakistan

BEIJING: President Asif Ali Zardari, during his visit to China, met with the Chairman
of a Chinese firm that is willing to invest $10 billion in hydro-power projects in
Pakistan.
On his sixth visit as President to China, Zardari also met with the President of Exim
Bank as well as the President of The Three Gorges Corporation.
Breifing reporters after the meetings, Zardari said the company will build dams in
Bunji and Kohala areas. The dams are to generate 7,000 and 12,000 megawatts
respectively.
China has said it has the right to pursue nuclear power projects with Pakistan —
which China treats as acounter-weight to Indian influence. Chinese nuclear
companies have built one reactor unit at the Chashma atomic complex in Pakistan’s
Punjab province, and they are building another one likely to be finished in 2011 or
2012. Chinese companies have also unveiled plans to build another two bigger
reactors at Chashma in coming years.
President Zardari also held talks with his Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao and Prime
Minister Wen Jiabao.
A nearly $7 billion trade deal between the two countries is also expected to be
discussed.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang told the media that China and
Pakistan will sign cooperation agreements in agriculture, healthcare, economy and
technology sectors during President Zardari’s visit.
Commenting on some media reports which claimed that China is striving to balance
relations with India and Pakistan, Qin said China expects good neighbourly, friendly
and cooperative relations with its two South Asian neighbours.
“We are willing to make joint efforts with both India and Pakistan to promote our
bilateral ties, which will benefit the people in the three countries and common
development and prosperity of the region,” Qin said, noting that China is also glad
to witness improvements in Indo-Pak ties.

BEIJING
BEIJING — China and Pakistan pledged to step up joint efforts against terrorism
Wednesday as the presidents of the two neighboring nations vowed to expand
trade and economic cooperation, state media said.
Chinese President Hu Jintao welcomed Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari to the
Great Hall of the People where the two leaders expressed their commitment to
deepening ties in energy, communications and infrastructure construction.
"China and Pakistan are both victims of terrorism," China Central Television quoted
Hu as telling Zardari.
"To strengthen Sino-Pakistani anti-terrorism cooperation and strike at terrorism,

separatism and religious extremism is in the fundamental interests of the people's
of both nations."
Hu urged Pakistan to continue to look out for the safety and security of Chinese
nationals and companies in Pakistan following a spate of kidnappings in recent
years, it said.
Zardari is in China until Sunday and will meet with Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and
other leaders on Thursday, Chinese diplomats said.
Earlier Zardari met with top Chinese bankers and business executives pledging
146
Wed
greater protection for Chinese investment in his nation, his office said in a
statement.
Besides talks with executives from NORINCO, China's top arms manufacturer,
Zardari also met with leaders of Sinohydro Corporation, the nation's main dam
builder and China Petrochemical Corporation, also known as SINOPEC, the
statement said.
China is Pakistan's strongest ally and Islamabad relies heavily on Beijing for its
defence and infrastructure needs.
Many Chinese companies operate in Pakistan and China is involved in the

construction of a deep-sea port at Gwadar on the Arabian Sea.
China has also agreed to build two new civilian nuclear reactors in Pakistan, the
government said in March, amid persistent concerns about the safety of nuclear
materials in the restive south Asian state.
News of the reactors elicited concerns from Washington over the security of nuclear
materials in troubled Pakistan, where the Taliban movement is waging a bloody
offensive.
In recent days a Pakistan army contingent has been taking part in joint anti-terror
exercises with the Chinese military in China in the latest sign of closer relations
between the two countries, state press reported.

Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, second right, and Chinese President Hu Jintao,
right, shake hands while Zardari's daughters stand beside at the Great Hall of the
People in Beijing, China, Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Pakistan President Asif Ali
Zardari appealed Wednesday to Chinese business leaders for help in developing
his country's ailing energy sector, pointing to nuclear power as one area of growth
but making no public mention of a deal with China that has alarmed the U.S. and
others.
Pakistan's president appealed Wednesday for Chinese help in developing his

country's stagnant energy sector, pointing to nuclear power as one growth area but
making no public mention of a deal with China that has alarmed the U.S. and
others.
The weeklong visit to China is Asif Ali Zardari's fifth since he came to office in
September 2008, underscoring the robust diplomatic, military and commercial ties
between the neighbors. He met President Hu Jintao on Wednesday and signed six
agreements, including one on economic and technology cooperation. Details were
not made public.
The visit highlights China's support for Pakistan as they face scrutiny over a 2008
deal that would give energy-starved Pakistan two new nuclear power plants. Critics
said transferring the reactors would violate international nonproliferation
agreements.
"This deal comes at a time to assure the people of Pakistan that despite their
repeated requests to the West to give them such a deal ... it is China once more
which they rely can on as an all-weather friend," said Adnan Bukhari, an associate
research fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies of Singapore's
Nanyang Technological University.
The deal also came shortly after a wide-ranging deal that allowed the U.S. to sell
nuclear fuel, technology and reactors to India, a regional rival of both China and
Pakistan.
Bukhari said the China-Pakistan deal is sending a message in particular to India,
147
Wed
whose relationship with Pakistan has been of varying tensions for decades. Both
countries have nuclear weapons.
Zardari met with Chinese business leaders Wednesday in industries ranging from
banking to defense in a bid to attract investment, according to a statement from his
spokesman, Farhatullah Babar. He singled out energy as a growth industry in
Pakistan.
Electricity shortages are chronic in Pakistan, where expansion of supply has lagged
fast-growing demand. Some regions experience electricity outages of up to 18
hours a day and it is not uncommon for prolonged blackouts to provoke riots.
Authorities planned to feed the grid through "hydro, coal, gas, nuclear and
renewable energy sources," the Pakistan statement said, without elaborating on the
growth of nuclear energy.
Pakistan, whose former top nuclear scientist has been accused of trafficking
sensitive nuclear technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea, has not signed the
Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, the main international agreement meant to stem
the spread of nuclear weapons technology. China signed the treaty in the 1990s.
India also has not signed the treaty.
Mark Hibbs of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace said in an April
report that the U.S.-India deal was given the go-ahead by member states of the
Nuclear Suppliers Group - which seeks to limit the spread of nuclear-related
equipment - only after "considerable arm-twisting ... by the United States, France
and Russia."
Yet Washington has expressed concern that China's nuclear deal with Pakistan
doesn't have the necessary approval from the NSG, and has called for China to
provide more information about it.
"In the past half-year or so, making peaceful use of nuclear energy has been a
sensitive issue," said Wang Lian, an associate professor in the School of
International Studies at Peking University. "The U.S. government has been urging
the Chinese government to make the process more transparent."
So far, planning for the construction of the two reactors at the Chashma site in
Pakistan's Punjab province has apparently gone forward.
"The United States and other NSG states may object to the pending transaction but
they cannot prevent China from exporting the reactors," Hibbs said in his report.
Other countries are also concerned about the risk of an attack on nuclear facilities
by insurgents battling the Pakistani military in the country's northwest tribal areas
adjacent to Afghanistan, Bukhari said.
"The more you expand your nuclear programs or installations, there is more threat
of attacks on them or maybe stealing of your equipment or your weapons," he said.
Pakistan maintains that it has stringent security at its existing nuclear facilities and
screening of staff to prevent infiltration of their ranks.
China has said the deal would be carried out in line with "international obligations"
and subject to international safeguards and supervision.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman did not answer a question about a nuclear
deal with Pakistan in a news conference Tuesday.

CHINA TO INVEST IN TWO HYDRO POWER PROJECTS IN PAKISTAN
Chinese Company Three Gorges has announced to invest in two hydro power
projects in Pakistan, SAMAA reported Wednesday.
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari has met with Chairman of Three Gorges
Corporation Cao Guangjing. After the meeting, Cao Guangjing while giving a
briefing to media he said that his company Three Gorges has agreed to invest more
than $ 100 billion in two hydro power projects in Pakistan. For this purpose at the
point of Bunji in Gilgit Baltistan, a dam of 7,000 MW, whereas 12, 00 MW dam at
Kohalla will be constructed.
Zardari’s visit aims at strengthening strategic partnership will also promote

economic and trade cooperation and enhance cultural ties between the two
countries.
During the past two years over five dozen new initiatives and nearly forty MoUs
were signed between the two countries. These include hydro dams, transfer of
hybrid technology, expanding banking operations, roads and communication
networks, agriculture sector with optimum use of water, development of new high
yielding varieties of wheat and cotton, proposed Thar Coal project and dredging of
Tarbela reservoir.
Today, Zardari will hold a separate meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao.
Zardari will leave Beijing for Shanghai later this week, and visit the Pakistani
National Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo.
This is Zardari's fifth visit to China since he became president of Pakistan.

APP
Pakistan-China for enhancing strategic partnership
BEIJING July 8, (APP): In separate meetings with Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and
Chairman of the Chinese Peoples Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)
Chairman Jia Qinglin President Asif Ali Zardari held wide ranging discussions on
bilateral, regional and international issues on Thursday. They stressed unanimity of
views on a host of regional and international issues and called for further stepping
up economic cooperation and enhancing people to people contacts between the
two countries.
1.Briefing journalists Presidential Spokesperson Farhatullah Babar said that the

talks focused on joint economic projects, promoting regional connectivity, militancy
and terrorism and modalities for enhancing people to people contacts as an
essential component of the strategic relationship between the two countries.
2.President Zardari said that language was the most potent instrument for
promoting people to people contacts and called for elaborate institutional
arrangements for teaching Chinese and Urdu languages to the students, workers
and people of Pakistan and China.
3.In the long term this was a most effective way for giving boost to the existing
relations, he said.
4.About connectivity the President said that the disruption in the Karakoram
Highway recently due to landslide had demonstrated the need for establishing a
railway line and also a pipeline from Gwadar to China to connect the two countries.
5.Farhatullah Babar said that the two sides agreed that a meeting of the Pak-China
Joint Economic Forum would soon be held in Islamabad to adopt measures to take
to new heights the economic cooperation between the two countries.
6.The Joint Forum will take up issues including that of currency swap, opening of
branches of Chinese banks in Pakistan and relocating industries in the special
proposed industrial zones in Pakistan. The Chinese Commerce Minister will lead
his country’s delegation at the talks.
7.It was also agreed that the China National Energy Administration will hold
discussions with Pakistani authorities on how best to tackle Pakistan’s energy
needs.
8.A day before President Zardari had impressed upon President Hu Jintao that
Pakistan needed assistance in developing energy mix that included components of
hydro, coal, thermal, wind and solar and nuclear power reactors to overcome the
yawning gap between power supply and demand.
9.The two sides also decided to celebrate in a befitting manner the 60th anniversary
of Pak-China diplomatic relations next year and agreed to set up special
committees in both the countries to develop plans for this purpose.
10.Premier Wen Jiabao said that China deeply appreciated Pakistan’s policy of One
China and assured President Zardari of his country’s continued support to Pakistan
at the UN and at multilateral forums including SAARC and ECO. China has
supported Pakistan’s full membership of the SCO.
11.President Zardari said that Pakistan wanted international help to help itself and
that was why it was stressing on trade and not aid.
12.He said that access to international markets would help promote industrial
activity in the country that would generate employment and help in turning away the
unemployed youth from militancy.
13.President Zardari reiterated that trade relations between the two countries fell
152
Thu
short of the potential and needed to be stepped up. He also said that strengthening
strategic and economic cooperation was a key element guiding Pakistan’s foreign
policy towards China.
14.The President also briefed the Chinese leaders on Pakistan’s fight against
militancy and the political support for it in the country. Premier Wen said that China
deeply appreciated Pakistan’s fight against extremism and pledged his country’s
unflinching support in it.
15.The Spokesperson said that connectivity projects including the 500 million
dollars KKH up gradation project and the National Trade Corridor (NTC) also came
under discussion. The over 800 km long KKH provides a trade and strategic link
between Pak and China and to Central Asia.
16.China is assisting Pakistan for the improvement of 335 km long Khunjrab-Raikot

section of the KKH that is expected to be completed in 2012. Pakistan is also
implementing a NTC Program to modernize the trade, transportation and logistics
system in the country and to provide improved regional connectivity, he said.
17.The meeting with the Chairman CPPCC Jia Qinglin took place in the Great Hall
of the People while that with Premier Wen Jiabao was held in his office in
Zhongnanhai. The meeting with Wen Jiabao was followed by separate meetings
with Chen Lei Minister for water Resources and Han Changfu Minister for
Agriculture in the state guest house.
18.Earlier in the day the President inaugurated photo exhibition at the Tsinghua
University in Beijing which he described as “an important element of soft power”.
19.Addressing the students and faculty on the occasion the President said that
Moenjodaro was the cradle of human civilization that was known as the “Manhattan
of the Bronze Age”. He said that the Moenjodaro ruins revealed man’s wisdom and
fortitude and also the power of that civilization. The need for wisdom and struggle
was never so great as it was today, he further said.

and work will be completed in four years, an official said. -- The Express
Tribune
KARACHI: The Pakistani segment of the gas pipeline from Iran will cost $1.2 billion
and work will be completed in four years, an official said.
Managing Director Interstate Gas Systems, Naim Sharafat, said the project is
planned to be funded through a debt-equity ratio of 70:30, requiring debt financing
of $872 million and equity investment of $373 million. The Interstate Gas Systems is
a joint venture of Sui Southern Gas Company and Sui Northern Gas Pipelines.
He was giving a presentation to the Senate standing committee for Petroleum and
Natural Resources on the status of Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project at the Sui
Southern Gas Company (SSGC).
This was the first Senate committee meeting at the SSGC since Iran and Pakistan
inked the historic agreement in Tehran in June for the supply of natural gas from
2015.
Chairman Standing Committee Sabir Ali Baloch chaired the meeting, which
discussed salient features of the 1,150-kilometre pipeline that will connect Iran’s
South Pars gas field with Balochistan and Sindh provinces.
Sharafat said the project’s debt portion is expected to be secured from domestic
and international financiers including Sindh and Balochistan governments, Sui
Southern Gas Company, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines, Oil and Gas Development
Company, Pak Petroleum, Pak-Arab Refinery Company and National Bank. The
NBP will contribute $190 million or 51 per cent of equity structure.
Besides, potential private investors include Petronas of Malaysia and Gazprom of
Russia which will contribute $183 million or 49 per cent of the equity structure.
Further elaborating, Sharafat said Pakistan will construct about a 780-kilometre 42-
inch diameter pipeline from the border, traversing along the Makran Coastal
Highway to connect with existing gas transmission network at Nawabshah. Almost
665 km of the pipeline will pass through Balochistan while about 115 km of the

‫‪Thu‬‬
‫‪pipeline will be laid in Sindh.‬‬
‫‪He said under the Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement (GSPA), Pakistan will import‬‬
‫‪750 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) of gas with a provision to increase it to one‬‬
‫‪billion cubic feet a day (bcfd).‬‬
‫‪The senators suggested that the stakeholders in the pipeline routes must be taken‬‬
‫‪into confidence, majority of which are remote and less-developed areas, with clear-‬‬
‫‪cut assurances about providing new schools, hospitals and vocational training‬‬
‫‪centres.‬‬
‫‪In response to queries, the MD Interstate Gas Systems said being one of the‬‬
‫‪largest infrastructure projects, the Iran-Pak pipeline will create new job opportunities‬‬
‫‪in the provinces of Balochistan and Sindh, thus improving income level and‬‬
‫‪standard of living of citizens.‬‬
‫‪Sharafat stated the Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement was broad enough to allow‬‬
‫‪force majeure in the event the project is hampered due to United Nations sanctions‬‬
‫‪on Iran. He said in case the project does not materialise, a liquefied natural gas‬‬
‫‪terminal will be set up at Gwadar to allow re-gasified LNG to the system.‬‬
‫‪Giving the current status of the project, Sharafat said a detailed route survey was in‬‬
‫‪progress to pave the way for engineering and design of pipeline facilities.‬‬
‫‪Later talking to media, the chairman Senate committee said it was important that‬‬
‫‪the project start as soon as possible to bridge the rising natural gas demand-supply‬‬

All Day The development of Sino-Pakistani ties has been shaped by regional
geopolitical dynamics. -- THE NEWS
Saturday, July 10, 2010
By Nauman Asghar
The development of Sino-Pakistani ties has been shaped by regional geopolitical

dynamics. Pakistan solicited China's support in its search for security with the aim
to balance the asymmetry of power in the region.
China too has not extended support to Pakistan out of altruism. China's assistance
to Pakistan has been motivated by two major factors. Firstly, China believes that the
separatist elements in Xinjiang province, posing a direct threat to China's territorial
integrity, have links with extremists in the tribal areas of Pakistan. Pakistan has
taken effective steps to mollify China's concerns by coming down hard on Uighur
elements and their training places. The two countries have established a joint anti-
terror mechanism at the level of interior ministers and have held joint military
exercises to combat the threat of terrorism.
Secondly, China appreciates the fact that an unstable and economically weak
Pakistan can jeopardise the prospects of a peaceful and stable South Asia. China
has an observer status in SAARC and the volume of its trade with South Asian
countries has increased manifold. China also views Pakistan as a counterweight to
India in its strategy to establish a sphere of influence in the Indian Ocean.
The growing economic and military ties between Pakistan and China have prepared
the ground for a vibrant, multidimensional and comprehensive strategic partnership.
Since the signing of a Free Trade Agreement in 2006 between the two countries,
significant improvement has been witnessed in bilateral trade, which has crossed $
7 billion and is expected to rise to $15 billion in the foreseeable future. Chinese
investment in Pakistan has reached $1.5 billion and presently 60 big Chinese
companies are involved in 122 projects in Pakistan in the fields of oil, gas, power
generation, engineering and information technology.
China has also played a remarkable role in infrastructure development projects, like
the construction of Karakoram Highway, Gwadar Port and development of Thar coal
reserves. The first phase of Gwadar project has been completed with a total cost of
$248 million, of which $198 million was provided by China. China has also invested
$200 million for the construction of the coastal highway linking Gwadar to Karachi.
Chinese entrepreneurs, technicians and engineers are also engaged in developing
top-priority hydel power projects, including the Neelum Jhelum Hydroelectric Project
and Basha-Diamer Dam.
The Pakistan-China civilian nuclear deal signed in March will serve to firm up
bilateral strategic cooperation. This nuclear cooperation dates back to 1986, when a
comprehensive agreement was concluded under which China also assisted
Pakistan in the enrichment of weapons-grade fuel. Later, in 1995, despite US
protests, China also transferred 5,000 specially designed ring magnets to Pakistan.
Under the deal, China will build two nuclear reactors at Chashma with a power
production capacity of 690 MW.
Voicing their objections to the Pakistan-China nuclear deal, Washington and New
Delhi say it will breach the norms of the international nuclear non-proliferation
regime and the guidelines of the Nuclear Suppliers Group. But these objections
have no legal validity because in 1986 China was not a member of the 46-nation
NSG. China insists that it is in accordance with IAEA safeguards.
President Zardari's six-day visit to Beijing is of vital significance. He and Chinese

president Hu Jintao have vowed to deepen strategic relations. The two countries
have resolved to formulate a joint strategy to fight effectively the three forces of
"separatism, extremism and terrorism." Currently a joint ant-terrorism exercise,
"Friendship-2010," has also been arranged in China to bolster cooperation between
the two armed forces against the scourge of terrorism.

In April this year, on the sidelines of 16th SAARC Summit, Pakistan and China
agreed on trilateral cooperation between Pakistan, China and Afghanistan. The two
countries are moving closer to expand the parameters of their cooperation to
address their common security concerns.

All Day Kashgar-Gwadar railway line would give Beijing a window on the Persian
Gulf -- ASIA NEWS
Kashgar-Gwadar railway line would give Beijing a window on the Persian Gulf
Such a railway line would allay China’s greatest fear, a naval blockade that could
stop oil shipments from Africa and the Middle East. However, major political,
technical and financial problems remain, including India’s opposition.
Beijing (AsiaNews/Agencies) – Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Chinese

President Hu Jintao met last Wednesday during an official visit of the Pakistani
leader to the mainland. They discussed plans to build a railway line from Kashgar in
China’s Xinjiang province to the Pakistani port of Gwadar. This could give China
direct access to the Persian Gulf and make Pakistan an alternative route for
Chinese goods and Middle East and African oil, which currently have to go around
India.
The ambitious plan has been on the drawing boards for many years. It has
advantages for both parties. Beijing would have direct access to the Arabian Sea;
currently, 80 per cent of China’s oil travels through the Indian Ocean and the Strait
of Malacca, an area plagued by piracy. More importantly, in case of war, China’s
enemies could easily block its oil supplies. Pakistan would especially benefit from
increased traffic in the Gwadar port, which was built with Chinese capital and
assistance and opened in 2008.
Now the railway, which until recently appeared to be technically impossible because
of the difficult terrain, at 5,000 metres above sea level, could be built thanks to the
experience and knowledge China has accumulated during the construction of the
Qinghai-Tibet railway.
However, Professor Wang Mengshu, a rail expert at Beijing Jiaotong University,

said that the Kashgar-Gwadar project would be "more difficult than the one in Tibet"
because Chinese surveyors and mappers will not have as good an understanding
of the local terrain as they did in Tibet.
This would also create uncertainties about the cost, which Wang estimates would
be around 200 million yuan (US$ 30 million) per kilometre, a bill too great even for
Beijing.
In addition, India is not going to look favourably at closer Sino-Pakistani relations.

New Delhi has always regarded Islamabad as its main adversary and Beijing as its
main rival.
In fact, the proposed railway would have to pass through Pakistan-administered

Kashmir, a territory claimed by India, and would thus undermine the latter’s its
claim. Indeed, important Indian newspapers have described the project as a serious
threat to India's security.
However, the idea still has many supporters in China and many see its completion
as only a matter of time.
People's Liberation Army Navy Rear Admiral Yin Zhuo said China relied too heavily
on sea transportation for its oil imports. Hence, "We must either build a much more
powerful navy or find alternative transportation channels."

All Day LNG terminal at Gwadar Port likely alternative -- Pakistan Observer
LNG terminal at Gwadar Port likely alternative
Amanullah Khan
Karachi—The much needed Iran Gas Pipeline project seems to be in hot waters
international pressures and the UN sanctions against Iran it is learnt.
If the project fails to materialize the government is considering to set up an LNG

Terminal at Gwadar port as an alternative to Iran gas pipeline project which is being
considered as the savior in the persisting energy crisis in the country.
Meanwhile Naim Sharafat, MD SSGC in a briefing to the members of the Senate

Committee on Wednesday has said an LNG terminal will be set up in Gwadar to
allow re-gasified LNG to the system if Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project is
hampered due to sanction on Tehran.
It may be mentioned that the Senate Standing Committee for Petroleum and
Natural Resources was given a comprehensive presentation on the status of the
Iran-Pakistan Pipeline project by the officials of Interstate Gas Systems. This was
the first Senate Committee meeting held at SSGC since Iran and Pakistan inked the
historic agreement.

Pakistan plans to mobilise domestic
Thursday, July 08, 2010

By By Saad Hasan
KARACHI: Pakistan plans to mobilise domestic funding for a multi-billion dollar gas
pipeline from Iran in the wake of U.N. sanctions on Tehran, which bar global lenders
from supporting the project, a top government official said on Wednesday.
The government remains undeterred by the UN sanctions against Iran because of

the burgeoning energy needs of the country, which spends $10 billion annually to
import furnace oil just to run power plants, said petroleum secretary Kamran
Lashari.
“There is no doubt about financing being a big challenge,” he said after a meeting of
the Senate’s Standing Committee on Petroleum. “We need to arrange $1.2 billion
and we need to work hard for that.”
The committee was told that funding will be under a 70/30 debt to equity ratio, he
said. “SSGC, SNGPL, Pakistan Petroleum Limited, OGDC and National Bank can
easily put together funds for the equity.”
The Managing Director of Interstate Gas Company Naim Sharafat said that some
local pipeline manufacturers assured the government of suppliers’ credit.
The Interstate Gas Company is spearheading the construction of Pakistan’s 780

kilometers section of the pipeline.
“Getting financiers is not as hard as it seems,” he said. “The government has

already asked public sector entities to pump in the equity. The National Bank of
Pakistan and other commercial banks can also be approached to raise the money.
The National Bank will also contribute $190 million, or 51 percent, to the equity
structure.”
“In case the project does not materialise, an LNG terminal will be set up in Gwadar
to allow re-gasified LNG to the system.”

Tue
The total length of the pipeline from Iran to Pakistan is 1,900 kilometers. Iran has
already started the construction despite sanctions. There are different routes being
considered for the project, but the likely route would be through the restive
Balochistan’s Gwadar district.
Pakistan depends heavily on the natural gas to run factories and households. Gas
makes up nearly 50 percent of its total energy consumption. But demand has
surpassed supply in recent years as existing wells deplete.
Production stands at 4 billion cubic-feet per day, while demand stands at around
4,800mmcfd, according to some estimates. Pakistan seeks to import 750mmcfd
from Iran.
Lashari said that by the time Pakistan starts importing gas from Iran in 2015, the
demand would have doubled to 8 BCF. “There would be a need to import much
more.”
Security of the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline remains a big issue. Baloch militants, who
demand greater provincial autonomy, attack gas pipeline infrastructure regularly.
Chairman of the committee Senator Sabir Ali Baloch said that the project would
remain on track despite the security problems. “We will have to address the
grievances of the locals.”

KARACHI: Thar’s coal deposits are of national importance and are a primary source

Gilani directed the federal and provincial agencies to offer “all required support” for
the Thar coal projects and ensure the timely availability of infrastructure. He also
directed the Sindh government to plan the allocation of funds under the Public
Sector Development Programme (PSDP) with the federal minister of finance.
The Thar Coal and Energy Board (TCEB) plans to generate at least 1,000
megawatts from Thar coal by the year 2020, coal and energy development
secretary Ajaz Khan informed the prime minister. The project will save $79 billion
(net present value) on fuel replacement costs and will benefit the national economy
by Rs8 trillion on account of reduced power generation costs, Khan added.
Sources said that during the briefing, advisor to the CM on development, Kaisar
Bengali, said that due to financial constraints the government will face problems
developing the Thar coal site. He said that funds are not released by the federal
government on time. Sources said that the prime minister assured him that the
funds would be released without any delay.
According to a handout issued by Chief Minister House, the CM said that work on
roads and an airstrip is in full swing and by 2020 the government would start
generating power from the coal.
A pre-feasibiity study on Sindh-Engro JV, a flagship project of the Sindh

government, will be completed in August 2010, PPI report..
The PM also directed the Sindh government to improve law and order in
collaboration with other coalition partners as it was a provincial subject. He directed
the provincial government to take strict action against the land mafia. Interior
Minister Rehman Malik gave the PM a briefing on the overall law and order
situation.

Chitral to be linked with China
The government will link Chitral with time-tested friend China by constructing
Chitral-Gilgit road that would make the northern districts of Pakistan a hub of
economic investment, said Federal Minister for Communication Arbab Alamgir Khan
here on Monday.
He said Chitral-Gilgit road and Lawari Tunnel will open up Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for
investment and would give further impetus to development process in Chitral, Dir,
Swat and Malakand Agency, Dr Alamgir Khan remarked.
Addressing a big public gathering at Chitral and Garam Chashma here after starting
of his three days visit, he said the completion of these two mega projects will
revolutionise the communications sector, enhance trade activities with Central
Asian Republics and bring an industrial revolution in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The construction of tunnel will help establish strong road links with Central Asian
States and hopefully it would be completed in 2011 at a cost of Rs17.50 billion. He
said that Quid-e-Awam Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Shaheed loved Chitral from the core of
his hearts and his vision of construction of Lawari Tunnel would be fulfilled.
Bhutto had launched scores of developmental projects in Chitral and had great
desire to make it a hub of investment, he added. He said that 450 employment
vacancies would be created for talented youth of Chitral after construction of Lawari
Tunnel.
The construction of Booni, Shandur-Gilgit Raod and Chitral-Garam Cheshma-

Ashkasho Road would help strengthen trade ties with China also, he remarked. He
said that Chitral-Gilgit road would be linked with China to give further impetus to
development process in Pakistan.
Work on Chitral-Garam Chesma Road is in full swing and NHA are constructing it in
line with roads international standard, he added. Arbab Alamgir Khan said PPP had
rendered great sacrifices for return of democracy in Pakistan and her charismatic
leader Shaheed Benazir Bhutto sacrifices her life for the noble of cause to guard the
rights of poor and marginalised community. A modern Muslim welfare state was the
vision of slain PPP leader Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and we will ensure it for future
generation, he remarked.
The Prime Minister will soon visit Chitral and discus with him starting of Benazir
Shaheed University for people of Chitral, he remarked. He said that he would take
up the matter of giving Mastuj a district status to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government.
Other leaders of PPP including Chitral President Muhammad Hakeem Advocate,

Secretary Information Shah Murad Khan has thanked the government and the
communication minister for taking keen interest in the development of Chitral and
assured full support to them on behalf of people of Chitral.
All Day Pak China Railway Track to Cost $30 Million Per Kilometer -- APP
Pakistani President Zardari and Chinese President Hu Jintao in their July 7, 2010
meeting during an official visit of the Pakistani leader to China discussed plans to
build a railway line from Kashgar in China’s Xinjiang province to the Pakistani port
of Gwadar. This could give China direct access to the Persian Gulf and make
Pakistan an alternative route for Chinese goods and Middle East and African oil,
which currently have to go around India.
The ambitious plan has been on the drawing boards for many years. It has
advantages for both parties. Beijing would have direct access to the Arabian Sea;
currently, 80 percent of China’s oil travels through the Indian Ocean and the Strait
of Malacca, an area plagued by piracy. More importantly, in case of war, China’s
enemies could easily block its oil supplies.

Pakistan would especially benefit from increased traffic in the Gwadar port, which
was built with Chinese capital and assistance and opened in 2008.
Now the railway, which until recently appeared to be technically impossible because
of the difficult terrain, at 5,000 metres above sea level, could be built thanks to the
experience and knowledge China has accumulated during the construction of the
Qinghai-Tibet railway.
However, Professor Wang Mengshu, a rail expert at Beijing Jiaotong University,

said that the Kashgar-Gwadar project would be “more difficult than the one in Tibet”
because Chinese surveyors and mappers will not have as good an understanding
of the local terrain as they did in Tibet.
This would also create uncertainties about the cost, which Wang estimates would
be around 200 million yuan (US$ 30 million) per kilometre, a bill too great even for
Beijing.
In addition, India is not going to look favourably at closer Sino-Pakistani relations.

New Delhi has always regarded Islamabad as its main adversary and Beijing as its
main rival.
In fact, the proposed railway would have to pass through Pakistan-administered

Kashmir, a territory claimed by India, and would thus undermine the latter’s its
claim. Indeed, important Indian newspapers have described the project as a serious
threat to India’s security.
However, the idea still has many supporters in China and many see its completion
as only a matter of time.
People’s Liberation Army Navy Rear Admiral Yin Zhuo said China relied too heavily
on sea transportation for its oil imports. Hence, “We must either build a much more
powerful navy or find alternative transportation channels.”

ON SECURITY RELATED EXERCISE FROM HIGH MOUNTAINS

Karakoram to Gwadar via Chashma!
ACROSS THE LINES
DR.JAVID IQBAL COMMENTS ON SECURITY RELATED EXERCISE FROM
HIGH MOUNTAINS TO SEACOAST
As Kashmir rises in fury and faces massive flexing of state power, a security
exercise is unfolding in the neighbourhood from the high peaks in Himalayas
closing on the vale down to the seacoast. Somewhere in the path is Chashma,
which is linked to the trail. Living a curfew ridden life, recalling Basharat Peer’s
Curfewed Night, the hard realties of geopolitics project through news channels on
TV, recalling too what way Allama Iqbal said back at the start of 20th century:
Gharan Khab Chini Sambalnay Lagey
Himaliya Kay Chashmay Ubalnay Lagey!
Chinese awake from a slumber deep
Himalayan streams on a date to keep!
Yes Chinese are up and coming, as Zardari gets to China for a bonus, he is met
with a bonanza…multiplier on 10%! Father-in-law had worked it out long back.
Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in foreign office in sixties, ridden with imbalanced security
scenario vis a vis India, worked to bring Chinese in the equation. Some say,
Manzoor Qadir-Pakistan’s foreign minister before Bhutto conceived it earlier.
Manzoor or Zulfikar wouldn’t matter, were the Chinese not equally interested. China
like Russia is not exactly a huge land mass with a narrow sea coast and that too,
with the cold sea coastline. South China Sea forms a considerable coastline.
However what is missing is ready access to warm waters-the energy sea lanes-a
subcontinental security plus. Russian bear wearing its communist USSR garb came
roaring via Afghanistan to gain access. Americans came in the path riding on the
high tide of what is now derisively called-militant Islam! It served a purpose then; it
is taken to be a deterrent now, as the civilizational hypothesis comes to fore.
Russian bear didn’t burn its fingers only but lost its USSR garb too, as Afghanistan
far from taking it to warm waters led it to ‘Glasnost’ and to oblivion as a superpower!
China on the contrary came creeping, not to lord over but provide help, albeit help
needed to suit her designs. With diplomatic overtures to Pakistan, heat was turned
on Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai-brothers after all have scores to settle, more often than not
seemed to be strategy. Apart from making strides in Aksai Chin, it picked a slice of
erstwhile [pre 1947] J&K State, in a border settlement with Pakistan. It came with a
proviso to review it, in a final settlement of Kashmir issue, in and when it takes
place. It did not translate into making China a stakeholder, nor did it assert any
claim. Nevertheless, role of a watcher, even if distant was unmistakable. That is on
high mountains, coastline tale has a geopolitical link.
While as Russians wanted to gain access to warm waters by a bloodbath, Chinese

got positioned right on the coast on Gwadar. A port used for clandestine
subcontinental trade of yore with the Gulf was given a modern hue to accommodate
bigger vessels. In the bargain Pakistan’s maritime trade potential was sought to be
widened, lessening the stress on overworked Karachi port. The huge works in
Gwadar are still on. China in the process has lost many men-victims of insurgency
in Balochistan. Pakhtuns in NWFP and Balochis continue to resent their assets
passing into official hands. Many Balochis are citizens of gulf too-Oman and UAE,
they thrive on clandestine trade. Chinese are bringing new perceptions in
subcontinental power equations.
Bhutto’s input in the geopolitical balancing exercise was carried forward by Yahya-
perhaps his only positive input was easing Kissinger’s Chinese path via Peshawar.
Ever since USA has taken a light view of Pak/China axis to India’s chagrin.
Eventually the Karakoram link-up was converted to a viable road, widening
Pak/China geopolitical prospects. Pakistan gradually was coming out of insecurities
vis a vis India. India’s 1974 Pokharan atomic workout had Bhutto swearing to eat
grass but get the bomb. He looped oil rich Libya and others promising to share
technology. By the time Pakistan had the technology, Bhutto was out. Zia inherited
his China policy and while he took Bhutto to gallows, he ensured to continue where

Bhutto had left. Thus the policy became the cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign
policy, even while Pakistan’s officialdom swore by Pak/USA strategic relationship.
With Chinese push for a rail link on Karakoram, as Zardari visits China, Indian worry
is understandable. As if Karakoram to Gwadar link-up were not enough, Chashma
falls somewhere close to geopolitical bridge. To the one nuclear reactor already in
place, China has been preparing to build two more. As per reports Andrew Small,
an expert on Pak/China- a fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States,
commented "For China, the counter-balancing element of the Pakistan relationship
is more important than it was a few years ago,” The deal as weighed by various
experts has various aspects:
(a) a "counter-weight" to the partnership between India and the United States, who
signed a nuclear power pact in 2008,
(b) rising India, and the India-US factor, China's traditional element of backing
Pakistan is back more in play,
(c) little room for Washington to oppose outright the Chashma deal after it sealed
its own energy pact with New Delhi,
(d) alienating Pakistan is not in the U.S. interest,
(e) offers Chinese nuclear exporters an opportunity to hone their prowess in
building reactors abroad, Chashma helps keep them in the game,
(f) protecting ties with Beijing and Pakistan or risking a diplomatic brawl-a western
dilemma
India is already being accused in some quarters of opening the ‘Pandora’s box’ by
going whole hog for Indo/USA nuclear deal. This is projected as opening up the
provision of more such deals. However Indian plea of having fool proof nuclear
safeguards in place, with Pakistan failing to explain the technology transfer, in
violation of international safeguard norms has takers too. Pakistan's domestic
instability is another concern. China, it is said may not go whole hog in winding up
the deal during Zardari’s visit, however as the reports suggest, China is confident it
would get over whatever be the international concerns in its expansion plans at
Chashma-prime project, which is taken as a national objective. Karakoram rail link,
coming down from high Himalayan peaks right upto Arabian Sea in Gwadar, the
intensity being shown in developing Chashma has an added geopolitical factor of
concern to India- establishing the rail link to Tibet, a technological marvel.
While Indian strategists make out the contradiction, Pakistan sees only concurrence
of interests. Indian concerns nevertheless remain. In fact 2010 started with ominous
reports of Chinese push in Ladakh. There were musings of J&K Government
officials conveying concerns to GoI. Chinese evasiveness in settling the
Indo/Chinese border is a known factor in this geopolitical power play. In fact, it
predates the communist regime in China. During the British Raj in India, the
Chinese displayed a similar attitude, leaving room for a claim, whenever it fitted into
Chinese game plan. Strange, it might seem, an un-settled border suits Chinese,
much as it served the German interests in 19th and first half of 20th century Europe.
The push in Sudetenland on the plea of un-settled German/Czech border turned
into prodding the Second World War. Chinese followed the same pattern in 1962.
Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru had been warned by Sardar Patel and even his own
daughter; Indira Gandhi, who got suspicious of Chinese moves in fifties. Nehru
however thought China could be contained, even if it had a few tricks up the sleeve,
by his charm offensive. The result was the debacle of 1962.
India of 2010 is not the India of 1962. Post 1962 debacle, defence has assumed the
form of genuine investment. And could those versed with that debacle fault the
Indian national leadership, down from Indira Gandhi to Sonia Gandhi and her
techno-savvy Prime Minister? In 1962, the forward posts did not have the needed
logistic support, nor was the training of troops, as precise as it is today. India has
learned the hard way t

Pakistan and China’s economic cooperation
By Ismat Sabir
China is a friend and a strategic partner promoting stability and economic progress
in Pakistan, said Chinese President Hu Jintao. While responding to this statement,
President Asif Ali Zardari said, “It is our belief that Pakistan can act as a force
multiplier for China and we will continue to work towards this end.”
These views were expressed at the time of the president’s fifth five-day visit to
China, since assuming presidential office in 2008. He said Pakistan is determined to
strengthen relations with its neighboring country through people-to-people contacts.
This visit would enhance bilateral trade and commercial ties between the two
countries and reach new heights, as both the countries are partners in the
economic growth of the region.
Chinese interest in Pakistan’s economic growth is growing day by day. For

instance, in Pakistan there are more than 120 companies and about 10,000
Chinese working in different sectors like mining, energy exploration and
infrastructure building.
Energy: The Chinese government reconfirmed to carry out its project of installing
two nuclear reactors in Pakistan. China said these projects are in total compliance
with all international obligations.
Presently, China and Pakistan are cooperating in civilian nuclear energy. The
cooperation is exclusively for peaceful purposes and to accept International Atomic
Energy Agency safeguards. The agreement was signed during the president’s visit
last year. The Chinese president and president of Pakistan were present at the
signing ceremony of the Sino-Pakistani economic and technological cooperation
agreement. The other agreements were in the field of agriculture, health, justice and
information.
Zardari met representatives of different sectors, in particular, wind, solar, and

renewable energies to seek solutions to overcome energy crisis in Pakistan.
A Chinese firm would invest $10 billion in hydro power projects in Pakistan. The
company would build dams in Bunji and Kohala areas. The dams would generate
7,000 megawatts (MW) and 12,000MW, respectively.
In his last visit to China, Zardari emphasised on implementation of all agreements

signed between the two countries. It is pertinent to mention that during the last two
years of the Pakistan People’s Party government, more than five-dozen new
projects have been undertaken and nearly 40 MoUs signed.
Under the Five-Year Programme for trade and economic cooperation 62 projects
have been identified, out of which 27 have been launched, 26 are being examined
and 12 are being reviewed. Pakistan also offered China access to emirates through
Pakistani ports. Pakistan always encourages China to reap maximum benefits from
Gwadar Port.
A Chinese firm has finalised a deal with the Pakistan Stone Development Company.
China is the largest importer of chromites. The black coloured stone contains
around 55 percent steel properties and is used in steel making and steel material
for tank making. Chinese investors are showing great interest in Pakistani marble
due to its quality and demand in the international market.
Chinese firms have signed agreements to buy 2,000 tonnes of Cotan beige and two
grades of Mastung beige quality marble, found in Balochsitan. It is expected that
China will become the largest buyer of stone in the coming years.
Another Chinese firm will invest $50 billion in Punjab during the next 10 years. The
investment will be done to build a state-of-art industrial city, along with an industrial

Tue
estate on 100,000 acres.
Trade: In 2009 the total foreign trade of China declined by 13.9 percent but trade
value between Pakistan and China declined only 2.9 percent, reaching $6.8 billion.
The total export of China declined by 16 percent but reduced by 7.7 percent only
with Pakistan, at $5.5 billion. China imported $1.3 billion from Pakistan, showing an
increase of 25.3 percent, which was the result of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
China-Pakistan trade in the first five months of this year reached $3.3 billion, up 31
percent. Chinese commerce minister said that bilateral trade could hit $15 billion in
2015.
Hu Jintao said that China had become Pakistan’s second largest trading partner
and gave assurance to make steady progress in cooperation with Pakistan in
energy, telecom sectors, Neelum-Jhelum project and Pakistan’s telecommunication
satellite project.
Pak-China bilateral trade touched $7 billion from $2 billion in 2002. China has
granted four types of trade concessions to Pakistan, one-sided, which would help
increase Pakistan’s exports to China by $1 to $1.5 billion annually. China would
provide duty concessions on tariff lines not covered under Pakistan-China FTA.
The two states signed an agreement to establish a joint venture company in the
private sector to promote sale of certified hybrid seeds and other varieties of seeds,
which are to be developed according to the soil conditions and environment of
Pakistan.
Pakistan and China would cooperate in the fields of water conservation, water
resource management, hybrid seed technologies, drip and sprinkling irrigation
systems.
During the visit, Zardari also stressed the need to set up railway line and a pipeline
from Gwadar to China to connect the two countries. Importance of connectivity
through railway link was felt in the recent disruption in the Karakoram Highway due
to a landslide that blocked the road transportation.
China said that cooperation for the construction of railway link between the two
countries is because China and Pakistan are strategic partners; have a deep
traditional friendship cooperating in various fields. The cooperation would not only
benefit the two countries but also help regional stability, common development and
prosperity and not against any third country.
Zardari said that a road connection with China is one of his ideas to be realised.
The travelling time, by sea, from China to Pakistan or Southeast Asia takes months,
but by road transportation to Pakistani port, is only 1,100 miles from the Chinese
border. The construction of road link with China would surely boost bilateral trade.
Zardari met executives of NORINCO, China’s top arms manufacturer and leaders of
Sino Hydro Corporation, the China’s main dam builder and China Petrochemical
Corporation, SINOPEC. The president also told Chinese business tycoons that
authorities had planned to feed Pakistani grid through hydro, coal, gas, nuclear and
renewable energy sources.
MoUs were also signed in the fields of health and Geological Survey of Pakistan
and China. An MoU was also signed for cooperation between Pakistan
Broadcasting Corporation and China Radio International for Urdu service
broadcasts in selected Pakistani cities on FM channel with the China Radio
International (CRI). China has promised a 50 million yuan grant for new projects to
be set up in Pakistan.
Zardari termed Pakistan and China as the joint cornerstone of stability in South
Asia. The Chinese prime minister said Pakistan is an important country of the
176
Tue
region and fighting war against terrorism made it even more important. The
international community should come forward to help Pakistan and make the war on
terror a success. He further said we can jointly think about going upward in Asia
exploring new markets through Pakistan.
In the next meeting issues will be taken up including currency swap, opening of
branches of Chinese banks in Pakistan and relocating industries in the special
proposed industrial zones in Pakistan. It was also agreed that the China National
Energy Administration would hold discussions with Pakistani authorities to solve
Pakistan’s energy problem.
The Chinese PM said his country appreciated Pakistan’s policy of “One China” and
assured Zardari that China would continue supporting Pakistan at the UN and
multilateral forums, including SAARC and ECO.
Chinese president said that he had instructed his foreign minister to make
arrangements for the exchange of youth delegations, cultural and writers’
delegations between the two countries and also incr
All Day Pakistan, U.S. to enhance cooperation in energy and developmental

sectors -- Xinhua
Pakistan, U.S. to enhance cooperation in energy and developmental sectors
08:19, July 20, 2010
The Pakistan-U.S. Strategic Dialogue concluded here on Monday with a positive

note sugarcoating the security concerns as both countries have finalized a
comprehensive strategy to enhance the bilateral cooperation in the energy and
developmental sectors.
"In order to deepen our relationship we have gone far beyond security," the U.S.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told a joint news conference flanked by
her Pakistani counterpart Shah Mehmood Qureshi.
Enveloping the security concerns under the five-year 7.5- billion-dollar economic
and development package that was offered under the Kerry-Lugar Berman Act,
Clinton responded a question saying "of course, there's legacy of suspicions which
won't be able to be eliminated overnight."
"I heard about the trust deficit," she commented recalling her last year's visit while
tactically deflecting through the sensitive security-related issues and highlighting the
more appealing core economic and development matters.
Since the first round of bilateral dialogue in March 2010, 13 working groups were
formulated that would help Pakistan in key areas of energy, water, education,
health, employment, infrastructure building and others.
"Our partnership would go far beyond," said Clinton who arrived on a two-day
official visit on Sunday with a heavy purse of 500 million dollars. Her participation in
a forthcoming international donor's conference in Kabul right after successfully
holding the second round of strategic dialogue to be held in Washington in October.
Pakistani Foreign Minister Qureshi said that Pakistan and U.S. have shifted to a
productive mode as the U.S. will assist Pakistan in building water projects in Satpar,
Skardu and Gomal-Zam dams.
"We are tapping an energy mix resources," Qureshi said while elaborating the
various means the energy-hungry country has been employing to meet its needs.
The electric power shortfall in Pakistan has reached 4,500 Mega Watts.
Brushing aside a question on Pakistan's nuclear energy resources, particularly

nuclear power plant with the help of China, Qureshi said that Pakistan holds 35
years of experience in generating nuclear energy and "no untoward incident has
ever happened."

Pakistan is "very satisfied" with the performance of the frigates it bought from China
and hopes to further strategic maritime cooperation with the nation, a top Pakistani
official said. "We are very happy with the performance, and some technology is as
good as in Western countries," Admiral Noman Bashir, Pakistan's chief of naval
staff, was quoted as saying by China Daily.
Two of the four F-22P frigates Pakistan ordered from China are already in service
its navy, with the third one scheduled to be commissioned in September this year.
Pakistan also hopes to buy bigger ships with more firepower from China, he said.
It also proposed to develop strategic maritime cooperation with China in both
military and commercial sectors, such as fishery and cargo, he said.
"The friendship between China and Pakistan is greater than the Himalayas and
deeper than the ocean. We already made progress in air force and other areas,
now we should expand cooperation in navy," he said.
"We can provide facilities, ports, logistics, maintenance among other things (to the
Chinese navy)," another Pakistan navy official said.

30,000 employees, he said.
“The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the investment may be signed

sometime next month,” he said.As per talks, the Company would manufacturer
10,000-15,000 units of split air conditioners, 3,000-4,000 units of refrigerators and
2-2.5 million units of televisions in first year of its commissioning, he said.
The project will be on a very large scale and was expected to provide employment
to approximately 2,000 people in the country. Chinese engineers will also train the
local labor in the operations process and provide technical support, he added.
The members of the Chinese firm’s delegations, who called on minister, were
included Senior Vice President Frank Teng; Manager Overseas market Ms Susie;

All Day Build Pakistan, Don't Buy Pakistan -- Ameria
Build Pakistan, Don't Buy Pakistan
On her recent trip to Pakistan, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton unveiled over $500
million in civilian projects as part of the $7.5 billion aid package the U.S. has
promised Pakistan over the next five years. The purpose, according to Secretary
Clinton, is to leave behind an era of mistrust and launch a new period of
cooperation. Is there evidence that this will this work?
Let's look at the figures. From 2001 to 2009, Pakistan received over $11 billion in
aid. The result? A whopping 68% of Pakistanis have an "unfavorable" view of the
United States. This is not to say that aid to Pakistan has no benefits, indeed aid
projects should continue to play a part in a comprehensive solution. However, if the
past 9 years has taught the U.S. anything, it is that throwing money alone at the
problem won't solve it.
What else can the U.S. do? Push for closer trade ties with Pakistan. The U.S. is
already Pakistan's single largest trading partner and effective trade legislation will
therefore help build Pakistan's domestic industry, create employment opportunities,
and provide sustainable development. It will also demonstrate to Pakistanis that the
U.S. is serious about its long-term engagement with Pakistan and the region.
Unfortunately, not only has the administration done very little on this front, but its
only initiative is simply off the mark. The current legislation pending before
Congress seeks to create trade preference zones in Pakistan's conflict ridden and
destitute Federally Administrated Tribal Areas (FATA). Ideally, it would create
legitimate jobs and long-term prosperity in a region widely regarded as an al-Qaìda
safehaven. It is a noble idea, but is flawed for three critical reasons.
First, this bill aims to spur textile and apparel production in FATA. Strangely,
however, it excludes critical products from this duty-free eligibility, namely cotton
knit tops and cotton trousers, which make up 25% of the total value of U.S. imports
from Pakistan. As the Association of Textile Importers points out, excluding these
products is an obvious disincentive for new investment in apparel in Pakistan's
border regions.
Second, Pakistan is able to compete against China in the textile-processing arena
due to its quick turnaround time on orders and not because of lower costs. Not only
is the FATA region geographically isolated from ports and the cotton producing
regions of Pakistan, but it also lacks secure rail or road links to the rest of the
country. Simply put, apparel produced in the ROZ would cost more and take longer
to arrive at the intended destination--eliminating Pakistan's comparative advantage.
And third, prior experience with special economic zones has demonstrated that
governments consistently need to provide higher levels of infrastructure and
security than the domestic norm in order attract foreign investors. Given that the
FATA region remains embroiled in conflict and any further expenditure in the region
would strain an already fragile government budget, the prospects for a successful
ROZ are limited.
Congress must rethink this legislation to ensure that it has real benefits for the
Pakistani population.
First, trade benefits should build on existing capacities and not create new
industries. FATA boasts vast, untapped mineral resources including marble and
semi-precious stones whose extraction is limited due to a lack of equipment,
infrastructure and investment. However, despite these challenges and constant
violence, there is a committed group of entrepreneurs who have continued their
business operations in this arena. Focusing trade preferences on products
indigenous to FATA would bring more sustainable employment opportunities as well
as direct economic benefits to the region.
Second, the U.S. government should make a concerted effort to pair aid programs
with trade preference programs. For example, the State Department recently
announced a $2 million grant to provide modern machinery for marble mining in
some parts of FATA. Aid which is targeted at entrepreneurs and developing the
private sector would help complement the trade benefits and would enable FATA to
develop a business sector that is competitive on national and international levels.
Finally, the U.S. should cut tariffs on top Pakistani textile exports. As of now, the
average tariff rate on the top ten Pakistani exports to the US is 11%--an obscenely
high figure for a country which continues to spend its money and shed its blood in
the war on terror. Cutting tariffs will increase Pakistan's competitiveness, create
jobs, reduce instability, and have a positive effect on perceptions of the U.S. in
190
Thu
Pakistan.
If Secretary Clinton is serious about resetting America's relationship with Pakistan,
it is imperative that the administration uses all the tools at its disposal. Simply
throwing more money at the problem will not solve the critical issues facing
Pakistan. As a Pakistani trade advisor said recently to an American audience: "We
are not interested in aid; we are interested in trade."

Times
China carries Benazir Bhutto’s dream – by Antoaneta Becker
Source: Asia Times

BEIJING – When President Asif Ali Zardari appeared at a Pakistan-China
renewable energy forum in Shanghai on July 10, he rekindled a vision of his
assassinated wife and former prime minister, Benazir Bhutto, who had envisaged
gas pipelines, railway tracks and highways connecting China and Pakistan. Zardari
said that he, as the first businessman president of Pakistan, was going to work to
make that dream a reality.
Zardari’s five-day trip to China, his fifth since coming to power in 2008, was deemed
so successful by Chinese and wary Indian observers that Beijing felt the need to
defend its growing investment and trade links with Pakistan.
“New Delhi does not need to fidget each time it sees signs of intimacy between
Beijing and Islamabad,” said a commentary in the China Daily, the state-run
English-language newspaper. “Instead, it should look to the larger picture of the
India-China relationship and deepen its political trust with Beijing.”
Chinese analysts have noted that New Delhi dispatched National Security Adviser
Shiv Shankar Menon, a man from a family of diplomats with Chinese links, just a
day before the president of Pakistan arrived in Beijing.
“Sending Menon, whom we regard as an ‘old China friend’, means that New Delhi
was hoping to achieve as much as possible,” Han Hua, a South Asia expert at
Beijing University, told the 21st Century Business Herald newspaper. “India has all
along been very uneasy about Pakistan and China exchanges in the nuclear energy
field.”
Yet the prospect of expanded nuclear cooperation between China and India’s arch-
rival is only one of the factors to have caused disquiet in New Delhi this time.
Zardari and Chinese leaders reportedly discussed investment opportunities in
numerous sectors, including port development, hydropower, roads, railways, mining
and others.
Zardari said in Beijing that Pakistan could be a “force multiplier” for China’s
development. “We want to learn and recreate your success,” he stated.
As the United States and European Union hesitate over allowing trade concessions
to Pakistan, China has moved aggressively, promising liberalization of trade and
offering soft loans along with investment. Beijing is quickly becoming Pakistan’s
main trading partner and has ambitions of doubling bilateral trade from the current
annual US$7 billion to $15 billion in the next couple of years.
“The US sees India as a counterweight to contain Chinese influence, while China
wants Pakistan to emerge as a power to counter India’s ambitions for regional
hegemony,” says Syed Fazl-e-Haider, a development analyst in Pakistan. “Whether
it is the issue of transferring nuclear technology or Iran gas pipeline project, China
has always supported Pakistan against US and India.”
To Indian observers, the prospect of snowballing Chinese investment and an
increased Chinese presence in Pakistan reinforces a suspicion that China is using
soft power and cash to embed itself on India’s borders.
China is already the biggest investor and the largest aid donor in terns of
commitment in Sri Lanka. There, as in Pakistan, China has challenged traditional
trade partners like the EU and the United States, choosing not to ask questions or
impose conditions over human rights and labor concerns.
In Chinese eyes, both countries provide ready markets for Chinese consumer
goods, services and labor. As Beijing tries to rebalance the country’s economy
moving away from being dependent on exports to recession-hit markets like the
United States and the EU, developing countries in the region are becoming more
important by the day.
These countries are also seen as launchpads for China’s ambitions in strategic
191
Thu
industries like the nuclear sector and railway infrastructure. China’s aspirations of
becoming a global player in the nuclear energy sector have underpinned Beijing’s
decision to deploy nuclear know-how and investment to energy-starved Pakistan.
Indian concerns are not likely to stand in the way of agreements between
Islamabad and Beijing to proceed with plans to add another two nuclear reactors to
Pakistan’s modest fleet of modern reactors, Chashma 1 and Chashma 2, also
designed and built with China’s help in the province of Punjab.
Although China is a member of the Nuclear Suppliers’ Group (NSG) and thus
subject to rules that forbid the sale and export of nuclear technology to Pakistan,
Beijing has insisted that the new deal is an “extension” of the old cooperation over
Chashma 1 and Chashma 2, which has been under safeguards of the International
Atomic Energy Agency.
Chinese leaders can argue they have their own domestic reasons for pursuing
accelerated economic development in the region. Beijing has just announced a new
multi-billion US dollar investment package to boost the development of its laggard
western regions. The decision comes in the wake of violent unrest in the restive
minority areas.
The $100 billion package includes railways, roads, airports and hydropower
projects and shows Beijing is intent on pursuing stability by infrastructure
investment in both Buddhist Tibet and Muslim Xinjiang.
Kashgar – the southern hub of Xinjiang – long eclipsed by the more developed and
resource-rich cities in the region’s north, is being given a new lease of life as an
important center to spread China’s influence in Central and South Asia.
Among the projects discussed between Beijing and Islamabad is a proposed
railway to link Kashgar to the southern Pakistan port of Gwadar. If realized, it would
give China direct access to the Arabian Sea and provide an alternative route should
a naval blockade cut oil supplies from the Middle East. The problem for Beijing is
that the proposed line is to pass through Gilgit-Baltistan – an area seen by both
India and Pakistan as part of the larger Jammu and Kashmir issue, which has not
yet been resolved.
“All Chinese plans for gaining access to resource-rich Central Asia and building
energy pipelines pass through Gilgit-Baltistan,” said Syed. “Gilgit, the northern
areas capital, has acquired the status of gateway to Central Asia after Pakistan-
China barter trade agreement and accords with Central Asian States.”
It is easy to read China’s actions as intent on infuriating India, but Gao Heng,
researcher with the Institute of World Economics and Politics of the Chinese
Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), said this is misleading.
“One should not view everything China does in the region through ideology or
geopolitics,” he says. “A lot is driven by the market. The country’s national interests
are those that dictate the direction of China’s relations with countries in South Asia.”

All Day Military aid to Pakistan not a threat to India: US -- PTI

Military aid to Pakistan not a threat to India: US
Published: Wednesday, Jul 28, 2010, 15:26 IST
Place: Washington, DC | Agency: PTI
Washington, DC: Days after India voiced concern over the misuse of the massive
US military aid by Pakistan, the Obama administration has said that the security
assistance to Islamabad, including the supply of sophisticated F-16 jets, should not
be seen as a threat to New Delhi.
"In giving military assistance to Pakistan, we have systems of accountability to be
sure that it is being employed in accordance with the agreements that we have with
Pakistan," state department spokesman PJ Crowley said at his daily news briefing
last evening.
"Where we have questions about the nature of Pakistani employment of US
assistance, we raise those questions directly with the Pakistani government. We
have in the past and we will continue to do that," he said.
So, building up the capability of Pakistan to deal with the threat within its own
192
Thu
borders "should not be seen as a threat to India," Crowley said.
He argued that a stable Pakistan is not a threat to India and a stable India does not
need to be a threat to Pakistan.
His remarks came five days after India expressed concern over the misuse of US
military aid by Pakistan and asked America to set up a monitoring mechanism as a
remedial measure.
During the visit of US joint chiefs of staff committee chairman Admiral Mike Mullen
to New Delhi on July 23, defence minister AK Antony told him about India's worries
that Pakistan was diverting the American military assistance to building capacities
against India.
Antony said that the arms aid to Pakistan, worth billions of dollars annually, was
"disproportionate to the war on terror" for which it was intended and the US should
ensure it was used only for the purpose meant for.
Pakistan has also recently acquired sophisticated air-to-air missiles from the US for
its newly inducted F-16 fighter jets.
Crowley also strongly recommended Indo-Pak peace talks, while underlining that
Islamabad should address New Delhi's concern with regard to 26/11.
"It is important for Pakistan and India to have a stable relationship. They, likewise,
will have to have a relationship going forward, and if it is stable, then the world,
including the US, benefits,"
Responding to a question, Crowley said that there are concerns about making sure
that Pakistan bring to justice those responsible for the Mumbai attacks.
"We've had that conversation with Pakistan and India many, many times. Our
concerns about elements within Pakistan and connections that those elements
have with the Pakistani government, we've had that conversation with Pakistan
many times," he said.
All Day Pakistan Could Bid for BP Assets -- Singapore

Pakistan Could Bid for BP Assets
SINGAPORE—Pakistan's government could make a bid for BP PLC's assets in the
country if the oil major decides to sell them as part of its global campaign to raise
money to clean up the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and pay for damages, the head of the
country's upstream regulator said Friday.
The U.K. oil company, which has spent about $4 billion on the spill and has agreed
to pay $20 billion for a cleanup and compensation fund, has informally told the
government of Pakistan of a possible sale of its assets in the country, but has yet to
seek a formal approval from the government, Naeem Malik, head of the Directorate-
General of Petroleum Concessions, told Dow Jones Newswires.
BP, which has a substantial presence in Pakistan's oil and gas sector including
budding offshore exploration, has yet to decide whether it wants to sell its stakes in
individual assets or the entire business as a whole, Mr. Malik said.
"Instead of these assets going to others, we think, 'why not the government or our
public sector companies buy them?' Of course, we have to see the financial costs
first."
It isn't clear what BP's business in the country is worth. The company produces
about 250 million cubic feet of gas a day and 14,000 barrels a day of crude oil.
The government could buy BP's assets via its state-run oil companies, Mr. Malik
said.
BP earlier agreed to sell its oil and gas assets in North America and Egypt for $7
billion to Apache Corp., and had decided to sell its stake in the Argentine unit Pan
American Energy, which could be worth $9 billion, and is also in talks with Bridas
Corp., Dow Jones Newswires said Friday.
Mr. Malik said the oil ministry would take up the proposal to acquire the company's
assets if and when BP decides to seek formal approval. The completion of
negotiations and final sale could take as long as a year.
"The government of Pakistan can exercise its pre-emptive right to buy out BP's
interests, but we have to see how much are they asking. They told us about the
possible asset sale only a few days ago, so it will still take us some time to start due
diligence."
Mr. Malik said the government would prefer for a prominent oil major like BP to stay
invested in the country but understands that the company is going through a difficult
phase and has expressed its intentions to evaluate its option to sell the assets.

UK ‘not to turn its back on Pakistan’
Friday, July 30, 2010

By Our correspondent
Islamabad
British High Commissioner to Pakistan, Adam Thomson, who joined Youth

Parliament here on the first regular session after the tragedy of the death of 6
Members of Youth Parliament, offered his condolences and observed a minute of
silence on the sad and tragic death of Members Youth Parliament (MYPs).
“UK will never turn its back on Pakistan,” said Thomson while addressing the Youth
Parliament on the topic of UK’s Foreign Policy towards Pakistan. “Pakistan has lost
more soldiers in the fight against militancy than Britain has lost in many wars and
the sacrifices Pakistani citizens are huge,” he said.
British High Commissioner, who discussed in detail the support UK has committed
to provide to Pakistan, despite cuts in every government department back home,
said that education, population and democracy are three key areas that youth of
Pakistan may like to focus on. He said that the societal discourse on these three
key areas needs to be accelerated.
“UK’s policy towards Pakistan has to focus on Youth, as Pakistan is a very young
country in terms of demographics. This is both a unique opportunity and a challenge
for Pakistan as well,” he said adding that democracy in Pakistan will succeed only
when one democratically elected government precedes another. Thomson said that
UK’s policy towards Pakistan focuses on trade, youth, education, and skills building.
Answering a question about what is the role UK is playing in resolving Kashmir and
the water disputes, he said that Britain wishes to see friendly relations between
Pakistan and India, but the issues between the two nations need to be resolved
between the two. He believed that while Pakistanis look for ways to resolve water
issues, water conservation should also be one of the major strategies adopted.

Govt gears up for market access to EU, US: commerce secretary
Staff Report
KARACHI: Ministry of Commerce (MoC) has actively taken up the issue of market
access to EU and US markets by negotiating the bilateral trade agreements with
them.
“There is a ready market of our products in these two regions especially for the
textile goods, whose market access is of prime importance,” said the Secretary
Ministry of commerce, Zafar Mahmood, during a visit to All Pakistan Textile Mills
Association (APTMA), Karachi on Friday.
Secretary Commerce informed the meeting that a delegation of textile importers

from United States is expected to visit Pakistan in September-October, 2010, and
said that China is considering facilitating Pakistan by providing concession in
exports as well as concessionary arrangements for participating in a number of
exhibitions taking place over there.
In reply to a query, he said that he strongly believes in free market mechanism and
advocated against any ban or restriction on a sub sector of a value chain as it is
against the rules of WTO Agreement.
Earlier, Chairman APTMA, Shahzad Ahmed, commended Secretary Commerce for

his efforts in helping APTMA to achieve the restoration of the free market
mechanism in the textile trade and has allowed the regulatory duty on yarn exports
to lapse. He informed Secretary Commerce that the industry has to import about 3.5
million bales i.e. 25 percent of our consumption but have never demanded any ban
195
Fri
or restriction on export of cotton.
Shahzad Ahmed informed Secretary Commerce that APTMA, on various occasions,

has pointed out that the spinning industry has a serious shortage of both its primary
raw materials - cotton and polyester, and as a result a number of trade restrictions
have been imposed on PSF, usage of synthetic fibre is only 18 percent of
Pakistan’s raw material mix as compared to 60 percent prevalent in the world.
He said that currently, there is a serious tariff anomaly whereby PSF blended yarn
has 0 percent import duty but the import of PSF as raw material is subjected to a
punitive regime of 6.0 percent import duty. Due to closure of Dewan Salman Fiber’s,
difference between local Pakistani PSF and international PSF prices has ballooned
to a staggering figure of almost 30 percent, making our exports uncompetitive.
He appealed to the Government that if Pakistan has to reach an export target of

$25 billion by 2014 all restrictions and tariffs on import of raw materials of limited
availability in Pakistan have to be removed and also to allow import of PSF from
India to meet its shortage through all entry points including Wagha and Khokhrapar
etc.
The meeting was also attend by Chairman APTMA Sindh Balochistan Region, M
Yasin Siddik, Former Chairman APTMA, Nadeem Maqbool, and others, including,
Nadeem Abdullah, Imran Maqbool, Zahid Mazhar Puri.

other concerned senior officials would be constructive and fruitful in making
progress on both these counts.

the economic sector despite enormous challenges that it is faced with and noted

months of 2010. She also expressed satisfaction over the volume of bilateral trade
between the two sides, which had crossed $4 billion mark in the same period and
was likely to touch $10 billion by the end of this year. She assured the Prime
Minister of her bank’s proactive efforts to expedite the process for opening its
branches in Pakistan and for considering equity participation in Pakistan’s Finance

President Zardari to discuss economy in Paris
PARIS, Aug 1 (APP): President Asif Ali Zardari is arriving here on Sunday on a
three-day visit to discuss a deeper and broader bilateral political, economic and
defence relationship with French leaders, besides ways to jointly fighting
terrorism.“The visit will provide an opportunity to address the issues relating to
security and the fight against terrorism, the regional situation, as well as our
economic cooperation,” French Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
President Zardari, who last visited France in May 2009 will review the progress
made so far and will discuss ways to have a long term strategic relationship with
France that occupies an important place in the 27-member European Union, when
he meets French President Nicholas Sarkozy and Foreign Minister Bernard
Kouchner.
The statement by the French Foreign Office said France would like to strengthen
its bilateral relationship with Pakistan “which is of key importance given the
challenges associated with it, and wants to develop cooperation in many areas,” as
has been reflected by the number of high-level meetings between the French and
Pakistani authorities.
France which is lending its support to Pakistan in the water and energy sectors and
has pledged to implement projects worth 300 million Euros over three years will be
implementing new projects in 2010 and 2011.
The French Ministry also announced that the visit of President Asif Ali Zardari will
be followed by the official visit to Paris by Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani in
October.
Pakistan will be urging France, that is an important member of P-5, G-8, to support
its bid for greater access to the EU markets.
, to compensate it for the heavy losses that the country has to bear owing to its
front-state role in the war against terror and to lure away those on the fringes of
extremism, by providing them better health, education and economic opportunities.
President Zardari will also apprise his counterpart about the ongoing operations
against the militants in its tribal belt along the border with Afghanistan.
President Zardari will also discuss ways to raise the level of bilateral trade that
hovers around US $ 1.1 billion during 2009 and will be urging increased interaction
between the private sectors for the mutual benefit of the two peoples.
Cooperation in the energy sector will also be high on agenda as Pakistan continues
to face a shortfall of around 2000 MW to 4000 MW, that is negatively impacting its
industrial and agriculture sectors.
The two countries also have a history in defence cooperation, including exchange
and transfer of expertise related to the counter-insurgency.
France that has been supportive of the democratic dispensation in Pakistan, has
also extended full cooperation to Pakistan in helping it fight the scourge of terrorism.

Islamabad—Government is expecting $10 billion Chinese investment to ease its
ongoing energy crunch. According to plans unveiled by a dozen Chinese power-
related companies, the proposed investment in energy generation, ranging from
hydro to nuclear and wind power, can surpass this amount. In addition, other
Chinese companies have indicated investing in projects varying from highways to
housing. Boosting Pakistan-China trade is yet another area, agreed between the
Chinese leadership and President Asif Ali Zardari during his recent visit to China.
Two highways are to be built in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan area, including 165

kilometre long Skardu-Jaglot, and 135-kilometre long Thakot-Sazin. Out of the total
cost of Rs45 billion, or $530 million of two highways, China will provide 85 and
Pakistan 15 per cent.
The Presidents and CEOs of a dozen leading corporations specialising in defence

production, petroleum, banking, industrial units, construction, civilian nuclear
cooperation, agriculture, health, energy, mining, petroleum, and
telecommunications discussed their investment plans with Mr Zardari.
The business leaders showed interest in investing in these other sectors. Pakistan
plans to launch a mega housing project to build high-rise apartments in all cities for
government employees. These will be joint project between consortia of Chinese
and Pakistani private companies. The government will provide land and some
essential inputs. The Corporations which participated in the discussions
included:
EXIM Bank of China,

The Three Gorges Dam Project Corporation,
China Northern Railways Corporation,
China Northern Industries Corporation,
China Petrochemical Corporation,
Sinotruk,
Tebian Electric & Apparatus Stock Co.,
Sinohydro Corporation,
and Industrial & Commercial Bank of China.
A Chinese company plans to generate 500 megawatts of wind power. It will set
wind turbines along the coastal areas of the southern Sindh province, alongside the
Arabian Sea. It will cost $1 billion.
Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao said China attaches a great importance to its
trade with Pakistan which not only benefits the people of the two countries but also
had a strategic significance.
The Chinese Minister for Trade estimates, the present two-way volume of trade with
Pakistan can be doubled to $15 billion by 2015, under FTA and other plans.
President Hu Jintao said China has become Pakistan’s second largest trading
partner.

Pakistan is keen on a "serious and substantive engagement" with France in civil

nuclear cooperation, President Asif Ali Zardari said on Tuesday. Zardari, currently
on an official visit to France, made the remarks during a meeting with his French
counterpart Nicolas Sarkozy, an official statement
said.
Zardari also called for the early establishment of a framework for a strategic
dialogue between the two sides.
Pakistan has stepped up efforts to gain access to civil nuclear technology since its
rival India concluded a landmark deal with the US a few years ago.
It has urged the world community to adopt a "non-discriminatory" approach in civil
nuclear cooperation.
Zardari is on his second visit to France in 14 months and had raised the issue of
civil nuclear cooperation during his last visit too.
During his talks with Sarkozy, Zardari sought the establishment of a ministerial-level
Joint Economic Commission, aggressive support for preferential access to EU
markets and parliamentary exchanges to deepen political understanding between
the two countries.
The President also called for "massive international assistance" to help Pakistan
cope with the situation arising out of floods that had washed away hundreds of
villages and killed hundreds of people in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
Presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar quoted Zardari as saying that Pakistan
attached great importance to ongoing defence cooperation with France, including
the upgrade of Agosta submarines.
Zardari also stressed the need to further strengthen defence cooperation between
the two countries.
Referring to Pakistan's campaign against militancy, Zardari said his government
"had built political consensus and given ownership to the war against terror" even
as the country paid a "huge cost in terms of human and material losses".
It was "unfortunate if some people continued to express doubts and misgivings
about our will and determination to fight the militants to the finish", he said.
"Such misgivings will only undermine the international effort against militants and
extremists," he said.
Pakistan's efforts and contributions have not been matched by international
support, he added.
The meeting was also attended by Zardari's son and Pakistan People's Party
chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar and
Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir.
Zardari will meet Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner tomorrow before leaving
France on Tuesday evening for a four-day visit to Britain, during which he will meet
Prime Minister David Cameron.

Pakistan has bigger nuke arsenal than India: Report
2010-08-02 20:00:00
Racing to beat India in the nuclear race, Pakistan has already stockpiled more
nuclear warheads than India and has produced enough fissile material to double its
nuclear arsenal, according to a new report.
While India is estimated to have assembled 60-80 warheads and produced enough
fissile material for 60-105 nuclear warheads, Pakistan is estimated to have
assembled 70-90 warheads and produced fissile material for as many as 90

warheads, it says.
The disclosures posing a new headache for New Delhi are made in a report on
'Global Nuclear Weapons Inventories, 1945-2010' by top US nuclear experts and
researchers Robert S. Norris and Hans M. Kristensen for the prestigious Bulletin of
Atomic Scientists.
India and Pakistan are both increasing their nuclear forces and building new
plutonium production reactors, which could add to their fissile material stocks,
Norris of the Natural Resources Defence Council and Kristensen of the Federation
of American Scientists said.
However, the stockpiles of the four nations not recognized as nuclear weapon
states under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty - Israel, India, Pakistan, and
North Korea -are minuscule in comparison with those of Russia and the United
States.
For instance, 'India and Pakistan have a combined total of approximately 150
nuclear warheads, just a few more than what is carried on a single US Trident
submarine,' the report noted.
As Russia and the United States continue to reduce their Cold War arsenals, global
inventories of nuclear weapons will continue to decline, the report said.
'Yet eight of the nine nuclear weapon states continue to produce new or
modernised nuclear weapons, and all nine insist that nuclear weapons are essential
for their national security.'
Russia and the United States have recommitted to maintaining a triad of nuclear
strategic forces and China is seeking to build a triad, and France and Britain have
pledged to keep their nuclear weapons, the report said.
'Whether Israel's nuclear arsenal remains opaque probably will depend on Iran,
which appears to be as few as four and as many as 10 years away from joining the
nuclear club, depending upon different estimates,' it said.
The total world nuclear stockpile dropped to about 23,300 last year as a result of
reduction agreements by the US and Russia. Nonetheless, those two countries still
have 95 percent of all nuclear weapons in the world.
Russia topped the list with 12,000 warheads, followed by the US (9,400), France
(300), China (240), and the UK (225).

France, Pak to set up Joint Commission
Paris—France and Pakistan Tuesday agreed to set up Joint Commission to
undertake cooperative projects in areas of food and agriculture, economic
development, security and training of nurses on a large scale for export to
European and Middle Eastern countries.
The meeting of the Joint Commission comprising of four representatives from each
country from different areas will be held alternately in Islamabad and Paris with the
first meeting to be held in Islamabad by October this year. France also agreed to
expedite release of assistance committed under the Friends of Democratic Pakistan
(FoDP) initiative to help Pakistan in the relief and rehabilitation works in the wake of
massive devastating floods in Pakistan.
The decisions were taken when the French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner
called on President Asif Ali Zardari in his hotel suite in Paris. Those who attended
the meeting included France ambassador in Islamabad and other senior French
officials. From the Pakistan side those who attended the meting included Defence
Minister Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar, Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir, Ambassador
Shafkat Saeed, Secretary to the President and other senior officials.
Spokesperson Farhatullah Babar said that the President opened the conversation
by reminding the French Foreign Minister of the promise France had made at the
FoDP meeting and said that now that Pakistan had been hit hard by floods there
was an urgent need to release the promised assistance. We need to rebuild the
damaged infrastructure that has been destroyed first by the war against militancy
and now further by the torrential rains, the President said.
More than 1400 people have been killed in the Khyber Puktoonkhwah province
alone and hundreds of villages swept aside in rains and the subsequent floods. The
President informed the French Foreign Minister that billions had been lost and
infrastructure massively destroyed that needed to be rebuilt on an urgent basis.
The President said that there was need for regular bilateral coordination between
the foreign ministries of the two countries on important multilateral issues and called
for assistance in flood relief and rehabilitation, setting up income generating
projects, improving health and education in the tribal areas of Pakistan as well as
opening of branches of French banks in Pakistan.
The President said that tribal areas of Pakistan were under-developed and parts of
it were known to have sheltered the militants. There was an urgent need to embark
upon a massive economic development program in these areas to create job
opportunities for the jobless and frustrated youth and thereby wean them away from
falling prey to the lures offered by militants, Farhatullah Babar quoted the President
as saying.
The President said that one of the most practical ways of doing it was to create
economic opportunity zones in the tribal areas and allow its manufactures exported
freely to the markets of EU countries. This will create self-generating employment
opportunities for the youth, he said.
President said that being a signatory to important international human rights

covenants and having lately also ratified the Convention Against Torture (CAT) on
the one hand and having suffered huge material and human losses during the war
against terror Pakistan on the other Pakistan more than qualified to be allowed
market access by the EU countries. He urged France to take the lead in pleading
with the EU greater market access to it.
President Zardari also reiterated Pakistan’s interest in a serious and substantive

engagement in civil nuclear cooperation under the IAEA safeguards with France.
Pakistan was faced with a serious energy crisis and it needed to explore and exploit
all sources of energy including hydro, thermal, solar, wind and nuclear, the
President said.
203
Wed
The President also called for setting up a research fund to facilitate scientific
cooperation between the science institutions of the two countries and proposed
enhancement of cultural exchanges between the two countries. In this context the
President appreciated the holding of Gandhara Exhibition at the Guimet museum in
Paris and a month of “Pakistan in Paris” covering a vast number of cultural activities
and thanked the French government for its support.
Proposing deeper engagement in economic and trade fields the President asked
the French Foreign Minister to explore possibility of a debt swap arrangement.
Bilateral debt to France totaling 2.3 billion dollars includes 845 million dollars ODA
and 1.49 billion dollars of non-ODA assistance, the spokesperson said.
The President also raised the issue of travel advisories to French business
representatives and said that the advisories and visa restriction impacted on
Pakistani businesses and called for their review and relaxation.
Issues relating to the regional situation and Afghanistan also came under
discussion during the meeting. The President underlined the need for greater
cooperation in intelligence sharing between the two countries in the fight against
militancy.
The President called for setting up of French bank branches in Pakistan to further
boost trade and commerce.
The French Foreign Minister said that France deeply appreciated Pakistan’s role in
the fight against militancy and that France will continue to support it in security and
economic development areas. He said that France was keen to hold the first
meeting of the Joint Commission before October this year and work out a
practicable plan for assistance in various areas of economic development issues
and security.—Online

All Day Innovative China eyes seas -- IND
Innovative China eyes seas
Ninety per cent of India’s commerce is by sea. At present, 60 per cent of our
seaborne trade moves (and comes from) Westwards to Africa, Europe and the US,
while 40 per cent moves Eastwards (and comes from) across the Asia-Pacific
region. Hence, maritime developments impacting seaborne trade (e.g. Gulf of Aden
piracy or the rising maritime tensions in the Asia-Pacific region) need to be
monitored closely, and counter measures taken to safeguard our national interests,
keeping in mind that sea power takes generations to build up and is directly linked
to our national prosperity and security.
The recent spate of events in the seas bordering China and its neighbours (US-
South Korea Navy exercises in the Sea of Japan, and the Chinese Navy weapon
firing exercises in the South China Sea) have once again highlighted the
importance of sea power in the Asia-Pacific region. A few weeks earlier, the US
Navy conducted large-scale exercises with other Asia-Pacific regions, and US
secretary of state Hillary Clinton sought to internationalise the South China Sea
territorial disputes because global commerce flows through it.
Conventional wisdom lists seven “essentials” for a nation to become a great sea
power. These are, large size of country, large population, geographic location to
dominate sea trade routes, at least two coasts, science-technology-industry,
seafaring tradition, and political will of the government to exploit sea power in the
national interest.
China does not meet three of the seven “essentials” for sea power, but is striving to
overcome these handicaps. Firstly, China has historically not been a seafaring
nation, but is learning fast and today its sailors are sailing the world’s oceans on
merchantmen, fishing trawlers and warships.
Secondly, though sea commerce flows through the China and Yellow seas, China
cannot completely dominate the sea trade routes due to the presence of other
modern littoral states.
Thirdly, China has just one coast facing Eastwards, and its exit to the Pacific Ocean
“can be blocked” by South Korea, Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines. Its exit
southwards towards the Indian Ocean requires it to pass close to Vietnam, and then
through the choke points of the straits of Singapore-Malacca, Sunda and Lombok.
Almost 90 per cent of China’s oil requirements are imported from West Asia and
Angola, and these move by ship through the Indian Ocean choke points which can
be blocked in the event of war.
But China has taken the following measures in an attempt to become a global sea
power:
w A combination of technology and innovation is being used by China in an ongoing
experiment to detect and target “enemy” warships at sea, at long ranges using the
1,800-km range land-based DF-21 ballistic missile, with terminal homing. If the
DF-21 experiment succeeds, the concept of sea power will change globally since a
similar experiment can later be attempted with the 8,000-km range DF-31 and the
14,000-km range DF-41. The target data for the missiles could be provided by a
combination of long range “over the horizon radars” using high frequency “sky
waves” along with indigenous satellites for surveillance, communications and
navigation data.
w Ongoing attempts to make the South and East China seas its territorial waters,
and thus attempt to control international shipping movement, while exploiting the
mineral, oil and fishing wealth. On May 16, 2009, China imposed a “summer fishing
ban” in the South China Sea and sent ships to enforce this ban, overriding
Vietnamese protests about traditional fishing rights. On January 5, 2010, China
announced tourism packages to some disputed and uninhabited islands in the
South China Sea. On February 9, 2010, China announced new oil and gas fields in
the South China Sea, while its similar “finds” in the East China Sea led to Japan
appealing to an international maritime court. On April 13, 2010, a flotilla of 10
Chinese warships and submarines passed between the international waters of
Japanese islands of Miyako and Okinawa to exercise in the South East Pacific (On
July 4, 2010, two Chinese warships repeated this deployment). On June 30, 2010,
China announced a six-day live ammunition firing exercise by its Navy in the East
China Sea.
w China has financially, militarily and technologically supported two nuclear armed
206
Fri
nations (Pakistan and North Korea) to act as its proxies which will, respectively,
“distract and engage” India, Japan and South Korea.
w After the failure of half-a-century of coercive diplomacy, China has set out to woo
Taiwan. The recent June 29, 2010, ECFA (Economic Co-operation Framework
Agreement) to reduce or eliminate tariffs on 539 Chinese items and 267 Taiwanese
items, is financially advantageous to Taiwan, but if China eventually achieves
reunification with Taiwan, than it removes one strategic geographical obstacle for its
Eastwards move to the Pacific Ocean.
w Flush with over $2.5 trillion foreign exchange reserves, China has invested in
South Asian and African littoral states so as to secure its sea lanes of commerce
and to avoid sending its oil ships through the straits of Malacca, Sunda and
Lombok. In pursuance of its “strings of pearls policy”, China not only gifted and built
the Gwadar Port for Pakistan (which will unload West Asia oil, to be moved by
Chinese-gifted roads and pipelines to China through the proposed Karakoram
highway), but is now building ports in three countries which are India’s neighbours.
In Sri Lanka the Chinese are funding and building the $9 billion Hambantota seaport
(three times larger than Colombo) and the nearby Mattala International Airport, both
to be ready by 2015. In Bangladesh the Chinese are funding and building two deep
water terminals at Chittagong and a brand new seaport nearby. Both these
terminals and the new port will be linked by road and oil pipelines to Kunming in
China, and will pass through Burma. Similarly Sittwe deep water port in Burma is
being funded and built by China, and will also be connected to Kunming by road
and oil pipelines. China has also invested in similar facilities in Tanzania and
Angola.
w In 2009, Chinese think tanks suggested that once China gets its own aircraft
carrier by about 2015, the US Navy should “look after” the sea area east of Hawaii,
while the Chinese Navy would “look after” the rest of the Pacific and Indian Ocean
regions. Chinese investment in nuclear submarines too, will aid a “two ocean
deployment capability” in the future.
Strategically-located peninsular India, with 1,197 islands, meets six of the seven
requirements of sea power. It only needs to augment its sea power and display
palpable political will power to use that sea power in its national interest.

Govt to succeed in pulling country out of challenges: President
BIRMINGHAM, Aug 7 (APP): President Asif Ali Zardari said on Saturday that with
determination and resolve of the people of Pakistan, the present democratic
government will succeed in pulling the country out of its present problems and
challenges. Addressing a big community meeting here at International Convention
Centre, he said it was a dream of both Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Mohtarma
Benazir Bhutto Shaheed to see Pakistan as a progressive and democratic country
and the government was working hard to achieve those objectives.
The President said that democracy in Pakistan has been faced with various
challenges throughout its history and the government is taking steps to put
democracy on sound footings.
He said that party was pursuing the policy of reconciliation and mentioned the
passage of 18th constitutional amendment, NFC award, autonomy to Gilgit
Baltistan, Balochistan package and women empowerment bill as some of the steps
taken by the government to strengthen democracy.
The President appealed to the international community and political parties at home
to come together to help thousands of people who have become homeless in floods
and are in distress.
He cautioned against playing politics over calamity of floods and urged the nation to
stand united as it did during the earthquake of 2005.
Pakistan faced its worst floods in the past as well but nations come cross such
difficult times and face adversity with courage, he added.
The President said without looking at what the polls say, the government took tough
decisions.
Agreement with IMF, price hike, rising energy prices were difficult for people but the
government did not go for popular politics,he said adding the future generation
would not have forgiven them for not waging fight against the terrorist mindset and
for not ensuring food security.
He said Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto made Pakistan a nuclear power and Mohtarma
Benazir Bhutto Shaheed gave it missile technology and made the country secure so
that it could talk with its enemies on basis of equality.
He said he was meeting the world leaders to put across the country’s viewpoint and
tell them that Pakistan wanted to become self-reliant with opportunities of trade
instead of aid.
President Zardari said Pakistan could not make enough progress in the past as it
put more focus on its security but now they would create a new Pakistan as
dreamed by the martyred leaders of PPP.
He vowed to take forward the philosophy of Shaheed Zulfikar Bhutto and Shaheed
Benazir Bhutto and said his job as the leader of PPP was to take the nation to its
destination.
He said democracy was moving forward with the support of all political forces.
PPP could have formed governments on its own but it took along Awami National
Party in Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, formed government in Punjab with PML-N and made
every party part of government in Sindh, the President recalled.
He said the nation has to move forward as it has no chance to repeat the mistakes
which were made in the past.
President Zardari said he was planning for the next 30 years as Pakistan’s
population would rise to 250 million in the next 15 years.
President said history of PPP was replete with sacrifices for the cause of
democracy and for the rights of people.
He said after the martyrdom of Benazir Bhutto, the ruler of that time postponed the
polls to take advantage of the political vacuum but he took the right decision to
contest elections and persuaded Nawaz Sharif to do the same.
He was thankful that Nawaz Sharif agreed with him and now his party was in
corridors of power. He said the PPP and PML-N were political opponents but
holding different viewpoints was essence of democracy.
He said despite what was being said on television and reported in newspapers
about popularity of PPP, its candidates had won some recent elections.
208
Sat
PPP had been contesting elections with its leaders and workers in jails and getting
martyred and offering sacrifices which was not reflective of its true mandate, he
added.
President Zardari said the PPP is not a mere political party, but it is a philosophy
pursued by all its leaders and workers right from Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who
did not bow before the forces of tyranny and sacrificed his life for the country and
nation.
He recalled the saying of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto that he would like to die at the
hands of a dictator rather to die in history and said “we are taking forward this
thinking”.
The President said after the martyrdom of Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed,angry
youth in Sindh raised the slogans of “Pakistan Na Khappay”, adding, but he rejected
that view and came up with the slogan of “Pakistan Khappay”.
He said Pakistan was facing various challenges at this point in time which required
positive approach and unity.
President Zardari said the PPP’s policy of reconciliation was aimed at strengthening
democracy in the country. He said after the assassination of Mohtarma Benazir
Bhutto, dictator (Gen. Musharraf) offered the party the government of Pakistan and
then the federal government, adding, but he at that time, only followed the vision of
party’s Shaheed leaders.
The President said Defence Minister Ahmad Mukhtar, despite his hesitation and
reservations, accompanied ex-president Musharraf in his visit to China, and the
decision reflected that PPP was following the philosophy of Mohtarma Benazir
Bhutto Shaheed.
He hailed the PPP followers, workers and democracy-loving people across the
world including those in UK, whose struggle, support and conviction ultimately led to
the removal of a dictator (Gen. Musharraf) in Pakistan.
President Zardari said, “you people supported Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and
Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed and now supporting Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, who
today launched a fund-raising campaign in London for the flood affected people in
Pakistan and within half an hour 70,000 pounds were collected.”
Similarly, the President said Bakhtawar Bhutto Zardari has launched a fund-raising
campaign in Pakistan and “I announce Rs 5 million donation including Rs. 2 million
for Bilawal campaign, Rs. 2 million for Bakhtawar campaign and Rs 1 million for the
Prime Minister’s Flood Relief Fund”.
President Zardari said the government, the PPP and country were fighting against a
mind-set,that martyred our leaders and workers including Shaheed Zulfikar Ali
Bhutto, Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed, Shah Nawaz Bhutto, Murtaza Bhutto
and workers like Munawar, Khalid Shehnshah and Tauqeer Kaira.
“We are fighting that mind-set and following the vision and philosophy of our
Shaheed leaders, who sacrificed their lives for the country and nation and for the
right of people”, he stressed.
President Zardari said when he visits various countries and talks to the world
leaders, he does not care of what would be published in newspapers and what the
political actors would say, he only has in his mind the country’s interests.
“If anyone thinks that Pakistanis or the PPP were weak, then they are mistaken. We
are brave nation. We know how to live and our leaders have also taught us even to
give the life,” he remarked.
The President also congratulated the new Pakistani-origin Members of Parliament
in UK and hailed their efforts in promoting and strengthening the bilateral ties
between Pakistan and UK.
He said Pakistan, which was a front-line state in the war against terrorism, was
facing various challenges which need to be tackled effectively, otherwise the
coming generations would complain us what we did for the welfare of country.
President Zardari said despite the fact that PPP leaders were martyred he chose to
make his only son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari the chairman of party to serve the country
and nation.
“I see the graves of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto
Shaheed, Shah Nawaz Bhutto, Murtaza Bhutto and others in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh.
But despite this I say that I also have to get buried here”, he remarked.

Pakistan in Chinese fighter jet deal
Farhan Bokhari, Islamabad
China has agreed to sell Pakistan at least 36 advanced fighter jets in a deal worth
as much as $1.4bn, according to Pakistani and western officials.
Beijing will supply two squadrons of the J-10 fighter jet in a preliminary agreement
that could lead to more sales, said a Pakistani official. The official said Pakistan
might buy “larger numbers” of the multi-role aircraft in the future, but dismissed
reports that Islamabad had signed a deal to purchase as many as 150 of the fighter
jets.
Defence experts described the agreement with China as a landmark event in

Pakistan’s defence relationship with the military power. China’s transition from a
manufacturer of low-fighters to more advanced jets comparable to some western
models is seen as evidence of Beijing’s increasing strategic clout in Asia.
“China is developing a real capacity to produce and export its arms. At one point,
the Chinese were dependent on imported Russian technology, but obviously China
has advanced significantly beyond those days,” said Marika Vicziany, Professor of
Asian studies at Monash University in Melbourne.
“This agreement should not simply be seen in the narrow context of Pakistan’s
relations with China,” said Abdul Qayyum, a retired Pakistani general.
“There is a wider dimension. By sharing its advanced technology with Pakistan,
China is … also saying to the world that its defence capability is growing rapidly.”
China has supplied Pakistan with fighter jets for more than three decades. But
Beijing has seldom supplied Pakistan’s air force with advanced fighter aircraft.
Islamabad turned to France for Mirage fighter jets in the 1970s and to the US for
F-16s in the 1980s.
Pakistan has a fleet of 45 F-16s built by Lockheed Martin. The Pakistani air force is
using the fighter jet in its campaign against militants in South Waziristan.
The US has agreed to sell Islamabad another 18 new F-16s and Pakistani officials
also expected the US to supply about a dozen older versions of the aircraft.
Over the past decade, China and Pakistan have collaborated on building their first
jointly produced advanced fighter jet, known as the JF-17, or “Thunder”. Pakistan is
expected to roll out the first domestically built version of the Thunder within weeks.
Pakistan’s air force plans to purchase at least 250 of the Thunder fighters over the
next four to five years.
Experts see the new Pakistani focus on China as evidence that Beijing is trying to
expand its military power.
“Countries like Iran and possibly some of the Middle Eastern countries would be
keen to deal with China if they can find technology which is comparable to the
west,” said one western official in Islamabad.
“Pakistan will work as the laboratory to try out Chinese aircraft. If they work well with
the Pakistani air force, others will follow.”

not be available for free.
Talking to media persons at the US Embassy here, visiting US Under Secretary of
Defence for Policy, Michele Fluornoy said that the Obama administration has
offered Islamabad two intelligence systems- unmanned and unarmed aerial vehicle
(UAV) and Scan Eagles, and that a final decision to make a choice rests with the
country's military.
The visiting official said the US has given details of both the equipments and the

cost to the Pakistan military.
"We have offered them two. One is called Shadow and the other is called Scan
Eagles. One is typical UAV system which will provide intelligence to Pakistan
security operations in their operations," The News quoted Fluornoy, as saying.
The Scan Eagle system is designed for autonomous field operation. It carries a
payload of 6 kilograms, and can be operated from a height of 5,000 metres. It can
be launched and retrieved over any terrain, and can also be used for naval
operations.
The Shadow drones, which fly at a low altitude and are basically used for
reconnaissance and intelligence gathering, are used by the US forces for training
operations of bigger and armed drones such as Reaper and Predator.
Responding to a question, Flournoy strongly refuted observations that the US
forces were losing the war against the Taliban and Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan.
"No sir, you are badly mistaken. Neither are we losing nor is July 2011 set for the
forces to pack their bags. We are not going anywhere. Rather, this is just the
beginning of a process to evaluate our strategy in Afghanistan. We remain
committed to this region and will stick to Pakistan and Afghanistan," she said. (ANI)

His comments came after the 5th meeting of the technical working group of the

Pakistan, India and the Asian Development Bank discussed the critical technical
issues related to acceleration of construction of the gas pipeline that would ensure
long-term supplies of natural gas from Turkmenistan to the largest countries of the
Southern Asian region.
Unocal proposed a similar pipeline route in the 1990s, but pulled out in 1998 after
deciding the political situation in Afghanistan was too unstable.
The Turkmen President acknowledged that the project was complex but said that
there was concrete evidence of the pipeline’s relevance and viability.

The $US3.2 billion project includes the construction of a 1,460 km pipeline running
from Turkmenistan's Dauletabad-Donmez gas fields, through Afghanistan, to
Multan in Pakistan.
The pipeline will be extended to the port city of Gwadar, in Pakistan, where a gas-
liquefaction plant would allow gas to be supplied to international destinations.
In April 2008, Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India signed the framework
agreement on construction of the TAPI gas pipeline.
The project received a new impetus to develop in May 2010 during the state visit of
Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov to India, where the Turkmen
leader held the successful talks with President of India Pratibha Devisingh Patil and
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

BEIJING: Nearly half of the members of a medical team sent by China to assist
flood hit victims in Pakistan are women doctors. They were "specially to offer
medical aid for female Muslim Pakistani patients," Zhang Liyan, head of the medical
group, said.
An interesting aspect of relief operations is the use of land route to the Sust dry port
near the Pakistan-China border for supplies from Kashgar in northwest China's
Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
"The use of border roads for relief supplies has a strategic dimension. It will help
test the roads from the point of logistics as well as improve China's ability to
conduct anti-terrorism operations in the area," Srikant Kondapalli, professor of
Chinese affairs at the Jawaharlal Nehru University, told TNN. China is keen to
enhance its influence in the border areas of Pakistan to protect its investments and
also to ensure that Islamic fundamentalism do not spill over to its territory.
China's People's Liberation Army has also dispatched urgently-needed materials

including tents, power generators and sludge-cleaning equipment to the Pakistani
armed forces will arrive in Pakistan's Islamabad, according to the foreign ministry in
Beijing.
Beijing's swift and enthusiastic response to the need for support in relief and rescue
has resulted in several statements from Pakistani officials and politicians expressing
deep appreciation. But it has a significant strategic dimension.
Several Chinese operating in China including one involved in establishing nuclear

energy facilities have joined the Chinese government in the relief efforts. The latest
move involves sending a 55-member rescue delegation comprising 36 medical
workers including 14 female doctors.
Supplies from Xinjing might also help win over Pakistanis, who have been unhappy
over the condition of Muslims in this border province during recent riots.
Pakistani Ambassador to China Masood Khan made a statement to the official

media suggesting that questions are being raised about the purpose of Beijing's aid.
"It is not fair for any country or person to make oblique references to China's relief
assistance to Pakistan or to urge it to do more," Khan said. "China was one of the
first countries to respond to our relief needs when the worst floods in 81 years
came. China moved with speed," he said.

All Day Kashmir: the China connection -- The Economist
Kashmir: the China connection
Aug 29th 2010, 11:58 by Banyan
AN ODD row has broken out over the failed attempt of an Indian general, B. S.
Jaswal, who heads the army’s Northern Command, to visit China. General Jaswal
was refused a visa, apparently because of his work in Kashmir.
This is not entirely surprising. China has been irritating India for about a year now
with its unwillingness to issue normal visas to residents of the Indian state of
Jammu & Kashmir (J&K).
One interpretation of its rejection of General Jaswal is that it is engaged in simple

tit-for-tat diplomacy, following India’s refusal to allow a Chinese diplomat to visit its
troubled north-eastern state of Manipur to give a talk.
There is probably more to it than that, however. For B. Raman, a former head of the
Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), India's main spy agency, China’s policy is
consistent with a change in its stance on Indian-held Kashmir: “it has diluted its past
acceptance of J&K as a de facto part of India.”
As Mr Raman notes, this must delight Pakistan, which will see it as tacit support for
its claim to all of Kashmir. He points out it might also be seen as a way of bolstering
China’s position in possible future negotiations over Indian-claimed territory it now
occupies.
In the context of the long-running and largely suppressed strategic tension between
the two giant neighbours, China’s hints of sympathy for Pakistan over Kashmir, and
for secessionists in the territory itself, are extremely unwelcome for India.
It will also have noticed and been concerned by China’s increased activity in
Pakistan's “Northern Areas” (which were recently renamed as Gilgit-Baltistan), the
north-western part of the old J&K kingdom. Chinese soldiers there are working on
road, railway and other infrastructure projects. This will provide a fast route into
western China from the port it is building at Gwadar, on Pakistan's shore of the
Arabian Sea.
According to Selig Harrison, an American analyst, writing in the New York Times,
the Chinese influence is greater than had been known and Pakistan “is handing
over de facto control” of Gilgit-Baltistan, which is suffering a simmering revolt
against Pakistani rule. He says between 7,000 and 11,000 Chinese troops are
there.
Curiously, Mr Harrison equates this “collusion” by Pakistan with China with the
support of parts of its establishment for the Taliban, as evidence it is not an
American ally. Surely, to be “with” America, a country doesn’t yet have to be
“against” China?

TCC to invest $3.3bn in gold and copper mining
By Mohammad Zafar
QUETTA: Tethyan Copper Company Pakistan (Pvt) Limited (TCC) has submitted its
feasibility study report to the Provincial Government with a view of getting a mining
license to exploit copper and gold resources.
The project cost is estimated at $3.3 billion. It will be the biggest foreign financed
project in the history of Pakistan. Such a huge foreign investment is unparallel in the
economic history.
Estimated payable metal production over about 56 years of mine life is 22 billion
pounds of copper (10.000.000 tones) and 13 million ounces of gold.
The Feasibility study report had been submitted to the Department of Mines and
Mineral Development, which is representing the interests of the Government of
Balochistan. Earlier, it was with the Balochistan Development Authority and later on
Department of Mines and Mineral Development was given the assignment and Dr
Saeed Baloch had been appointed as the focal person.
“We are very happy that the Project has reached this important milestone. Based on
extensive world class engineering, technical and financial studies by TCC, the
viability of Reko Diq project has been established and we are looking forward to
work with our partner, the Government of Balochistan on taking this project towards
the construction stage,” said TCC CEO, Gerhard Von Borries.
“A feasibility study of a mining project determines whether the proven mineral

resource is technically and financially viable and is considered an important
landmark in mining project development phase,” he said
According to the feasibility report, the initial mine development investment for Reko
Diq project is estimated at $3.3 billion (approximately PKR 272 billion) which
includes development of basic infrastructure like power, water and concentrate
pipelines, roads, and port development.
The project will create 10,000 construction jobs and 2500 permanent jobs when the
commercial operations start. Significant opportunities will also be created for local
suppliers and contractors for providing services and goods to support mine
operations. The project offers state of the art transfer of mining and beneficiation
technology to Balochistan in addition to generating significant revenues in form of
taxes, royalties and profit sharing.
Gerhard Von Borries also confirmed that the Environment and Social Impact
Assessment (ESIA) of the Reko Diq project is being finalised and will be soon
presented to the competent authority. “We are committed to this project and the
way it has been designed, it will be a catalyst of social and economic development
for Balochistan,” he added.
TCC’s vision is to operate a world-class copper-gold mine at Reko Diq, Balochistan

in a safe and socially responsible way. TCC reports its resources and reserves on
two international Minerals Reporting Standards, JORC (Australia) and CIM
(Canada). Total mineral resource at Reko Dik is 5.9 billion tones. Mineral reserve
i.e. economically mineable ore at Reko Diq is 2.22 billion tones at an average grade
of 0.5 percent copper and 0.3 grams gold per tones.
Estimated payable metal production over about 56 years of mine life is 22 billion
pounds of copper (10.000.000 tones) and 13 million ounces of gold.
It may be recalled that the Government of Balochistan intended to operate the Reko
Dik in the public sector denying mining rights to the TCC. The Chief Minister, more
than once, had stated his stand. The Government plans to merge with the Siandak
221
Tue
Project and Reko Dik into a single metal mining company and operating it under the
Government control.
However, the TCC claimed that it had conducted the exploration and it is the right of
the company to exploit the mineral wealth. The Government job is only to collect
taxes and royalties, implement the laws protecting environment and enforce law
and order. Since the Government had not undertaken the exploration for years, it
had no right to mine the wealth under the international law, it is opined.

All Day Deepening investments in Pakistan - China -- Beijing
Deepening investments in Pakistan
But while the forces behind the mega infrastructure projects in the region remain
unclear, few dispute the fact that China has in recent years moved to shore up
investments in neighboring Pakistan and boost traditionally warm ties.
As part of its strategy to develop alternative trade routes to the Indian Ocean and
the Persian Gulf, China has helped Pakistan develop a deep-sea port at the naval
base at Gwadar in the province of Baluchistan on the Arabian Sea.
Beijing is also working to extend the strategic Karakoram Highway, built to link
China's Sinkiang province with Pakistan and other projects such as dams and rail
networks.
Harrison estimates that once high-speed rail and road links through Gilgit and
Baltistan are completed, China will manage to transport its oil tankers and cargo to
the Persian Gulf within 48 hours - a maneuver, he says, currently takes 16 to 25
days.

indeed an honour for him. He said that Pakistan and Indonesia are enjoying
brotherly and friendly relations since last many decades. The diplomatic relations
between two countries were established in 1949. Together Indonesia and Pakistan
form over 400 million of Muslim population which is over 1/3 of the entire Muslim
population of the world, he said. Abdul Majid said that Pakistan and Indonesia
bilateral trade could escalate upto US Dollar 2 Billion incoming year from the current
figure of around 800 Million US Dollars following the conclusion of the undergoing
PTA (Preferential Trade Agreement).
Abdul Majid said that he believes that the signing of Preferential Trade Agreement
PTA will bring closure the business communities of both countries and will give a
strong boost to the bilateral trade ties and he will make his best efforts to inspire
governments of both countries for signing PTA. The signing of PTA, Majid said,
would allow both countries to boost their own exports which will InshaAllah lead to
FTA. Indonesia would be able to increase its export of crude palm oil to Pakistan
whereas Pakistan can export to Indonesia its value added textiles, carpets, fabrics,
leather and export goods, chemicals, surgical etc., he concluded.—Agency

EU set to agree trade breaks for Pakistan

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union appears likely to grant trade
concessions worth hundreds of millions of euros to flood-hit Pakistan as part of an
effort to maintain stability in the country, diplomats said on Friday.
EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels asked EU Trade Commissioner Karel De

Gucht to draw up a plan for approval by EU leaders at a summit on Thursday that
would seek a World Trade Organisation waiver worth at least 230 million euros (190
million pounds) for Pakistan, the EU diplomats said.
Pakistan would also benefit from a review under way of the EU's Generalised
System of Preferences-Plus (GSP+) -- a trade support mechanism -- due to be
completed in January, which would also cover economies of similar size to
Pakistan, they said.
"It's a strategic situation, potentially the most dangerous situation in the world --
there was a feeling we needed to do something," one diplomat said.
The waiver -- a unilateral suspension of tariffs on certain goods -- would be granted

under the so-called "9/11" clause used to grant Pakistan trade breaks after the

frontline ally in the battle against Islamist militancy.
Any waiver is likely to trigger a dispute at the WTO from Pakistan's trade
competitors, but diplomats said bringing a case in the world trade body can take up

then be shut down before the complex litigation begins.
By that time Pakistan should also feel the benefits of GSP+ status, they said.
Some diplomats also think it is unlikely that India and Sri Lanka, two countries that
could challenge the waiver, would do so at such a politically sensitive time for
Pakistan.

All Day EU needs a ‘comprehensive approach’ to help Pakistan -- BRUSSELS:
EU needs a ‘comprehensive approach’ to help Pakistan
* European Union foreign policy chief says alliance considering ways to support
Pakistan
BRUSSELS: Ahead of a key European Union meeting over Pakistan, EU Foreign

Policy Chief Catherine Ashton has said that the bloc needed a “comprehensive
approach” that includes not only humanitarian aid, but also helping Pakistan fight
terrorism and boost trade.
Ashton met Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Thursday ahead of the
informal two-day foreign ministers’ meeting in Brussels that would discuss the flood
crisis in Pakistan.
The EU already has committed $89 million to help Pakistan recover from the
devastation, and now is looking for a long-term aid strategy to help the country get
back on its feet.
“What we’re trying to do now is link together all the different ways we support
Pakistan... it’s very, very important,” she said, as ministers headed into the talks in
Brussels. “They need help to develop civilian police forces, the potential to tackle
terrorism before it turns into actions by terrorists and, of course, the capacity to
develop their economic platform,” she said.
The EU now is attempting to help Pakistan feed flood victims and fight terrorism.
German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said he is pushing to open European
markets to Pakistan exports.
“Whoever wants to stabilise Pakistan and prevent it from drifting toward extremism
and fundamentalism must ensure that the economic consequences of this natural
disaster will be absorbed,” he said.
Pakistan has been urging the EU to grant it enhanced access to its markets in order
to boost its struggling economy, as well as provide more aid to Pakistan to help it
fight terrorists.
Pakistani Ambassador to the US Hussain Haqqani recently warned that flooding

had stretched thin the Pakistani military and would hamper its fight against
terrorists.
“The military’s resources, particularly its limited supply of helicopters, are busy with
flood relief,” Haqqani had said, adding that going after terrorists in North Waziristan
or other terrorist havens would depend on the military’s continuing capabilities. ap

Trade-linked aid to Pakistan tops Europe talks
(AFP) – Sep 11, 2010
BRUSSELS — Europe is likely to offer trade-linked aid to help Pakistan battle flood
devastation and fears of rising Islamist extremism at an EU summit next week,
diplomatic sources said Saturday.
Hosting a two-day informal parley of foreign ministers from the 27-nation bloc, EU
diplomatic supremo Catherine Ashton said Pakistan needed wide support -- ranging
through aid, institution-building, anti-terror assistance, reconstruction and trade.
"Everyone agrees we have to think comprehensively," Ashton said.
"If we want to stabilise Pakistan, so that it doesn't degenerate into extremism and
227
Sat
fundamentalism, we have to address the economic consequences of this natural
catastrophe," said German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle.
After the floods turned some 21 million lives upside down and left 1,760 dead,
Ashton suggested special exemptions from trade tariffs.
"It is in the vital strategic interest of the European Union to help Pakistan in the
longterm with trade," said British Foreign Secretary William Hague as the talks
wound down.
"I hope there will be agreement on it" at the September 16 summit, he added.
"There has been really strong support from the foreign ministers for some decisive
action to be taken."
EU leaders will have three options to ease Pakistani goods into Europe -- offering
duty-free access on some goods, deciding a unilateral waiver with WTO agreement,
or lowering Most Favoured Nation tariff on some products.
Most EU nations favoured a waiver for a limited list of products, diplomatic sources
said.
The European Commission, which polices EU trade matters, asked ministers to

consider ditching tariff barriers on 13 types of textile product, in an effort to kick-start
an economic fightback.
"We cannot stand on the sidelines," said Belgian Foreign Minister Steven
Vanackere, after the issue of "how we'll do it" was passed up from trade to foreign
ministers.
The idea of preferential treatment caused consternation within the industry.
A European association of textile producers (Euratex) articulated fierce resistance.
Euratex told EU trade commissioner Karel De Gucht last week that the "Pakistani
government is (repeatedly) using all sorts of excuses to demand free access to the
EU market," citing the "fight against terrorism, economic crisis and now the floods".
It said Pakistan is "already a major world player" on a par with India or China, and
warned that unilateral EU moves "will certainly be attacked" in the WTO and could
"seriously jeopardise" negotiations on a free-trade deal with New Delhi.
According to an EU source, though, the list of product areas qualifying for

exemptions was drawn up with likely objections in mind, and aimed at providing
some 25 million euros of annual benefits to Pakistan.
Europe has also been criticised by humanitarian organisations for struggling to

produce a coherent, collective position on Pakistan.

Europe preparing to grant Pakistan extraordinary trade concessions
BRUSSELS: Following a two-day meeting of European Union foreign ministers in

Brussels Friday and Saturday, Europe is preparing to grant extraordinary trade
concessions to Pakistan. The move is intended to bolster the flood-devastated
nation and help Islamabad tackle extremism.
The foreign ministers have reportedly opted for an option that would entail a World
Trade Organisation (WTO) waiver for key Pakistani exports, primarily textiles. This
would allow Brussels to temporarily grant Pakistan a tariff reduction.
Earlier, trade officials had spoken against this move anticipating resistance from
India and lengthy litigation at the WTO. A previous tariff exemption granted to
Pakistan after 9/11 attacks on World Trade Centre ostensibly in recognition of the
country’s drug enforcement measures, but widely seen as a reward for its role as
an ally in war in Afghanistan had in fact led to a WTO case initiated by India. The
EU had lost and been forced to withdraw the concessions.
However, thinking in Brussels at present seems to be that since bringing a case at

WTO can take up to a year, there would be enough time for EU measures to have
an impact and then be shut down before litigation begins. The waiver being
contemplated would bring benefits of at least Euro 230 million for Pakistan. Another
proposal that sought to eliminate tariffs on 13 specific textile and clothing products
on a most favoured nation (MFN) basis was shot down since such a move would
benefit India, China and other countries in addition to Pakistan.
Pakistan may also improve its chances of gaining GSP+ status - a European trade
incentive mechanism, from which Islamabad has until now been excluded, for
amongst other reasons, having an economy that is too large to be eligible.
However, a review is now under way of the criteria for GSP+ qualification, which
may allow economies of similar size to Pakistan to also qualify. The review is due to
be completed in January.
Following foreign minister’s meeting, EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht has

been asked to carry out a feasibility study, including estimates on the economic cost
of the concession. The findings will be presented at an EU leader’s summit on
September 16, during which the green light for the move may be given. ppi

David Cameron is pressing the European Union to agree a new regime of trade
concessions to Pakistan to alleviate the country's plight in the medium term, but has
run into formidable opposition among more protectionist EU countries.
David Cameron comes to Brussels for an EU summit determined to push the

Pakistan emergency to the top of the agenda. The summit was to be dominated by
foreign policy priorities on the US, Russia, China and India.
Britain is keen to give Pakistan what is described as "enhanced access" to EU

markets to help stabilise the country in the wake of the war in neighbouring
Afghanistan. Over the summer Cameron reached out to Asif Ali Zardari, the
Pakistan president, by saying he would fight hard to give Islamabad preferential
access to the EU.
A failure in the EU negotiations may harm Cameron's attempts to soothe relations

with Islamabad after he caused great offence by saying that Pakistan was exporting
terrorism.
The prime minister has written to Herman Van Rompuy, the president of the
European Council chairing tomorrow's summit, to call for "a concrete political
commitment from the EU to Pakistan to enhance significantly its access to the EU
market in the short term".
In the letter, also sent to other European leaders and obtained by the Guardian,
Cameron said: "I am absolutely convinced that we need to agree a significant
measure on trade which delivers greater market access in the short term."
Senior British diplomats argued that the scale of the Pakistani crisis meant that it
was the most pressing issue for the summit, although Van Rompuy barely
mentioned Pakistan in outlining his plans for the meeting.
The British push for trade privileges for Islamabad will be resisted by EU countries
with big textile industries that fear having their markets flooded with cheap goods
from the region. At least four countries, including Portugal, Italy and France, are
reluctant to give trade privileges.
"There are problems getting them on board. Each option is complicated," admitted a
senior British diplomat. "There is a risk of raising this as an objective and failing to
deliver."
EU foreign ministers discussed British demands last week but failed to conclude an
agreement. The concessions to Pakistan could entail reducing tariffs on its exports
or the EU suspending the tariffs unilaterally, but, apart from opposition within the
EU, this could also run into problems with the World Trade Organisation. The EU
has already committed more than €230m (£191m) in emergency aid and flood relief
to Pakistan, with the UK the biggest single EU national contributor at around €60m.
According to British government figures, the flooding has affected 20 million

Pakistanis or one in eight of the population. "This is a disaster of biblical
proportions," said the senior diplomat. "There's a need to deal with the longer-term
impact."
231
Wed
Brussels is planning a five-year "engagement plan" with Pakistan, but Cameron
insisted that the EU must do more. "We should go beyond [that] to set out an
ambitious new partnership on serious economic reform and trade, the benefits of
which will be worth more to Pakistan than even a sizeable aid package."

ISLAMABAD, Sep 15 (APP): Pakistan and United States Wednesday signed an
agreement worth US$ 482,000 for feasibility study in seven districts for Liquid
Petroleum Gas (LPG) Transport Fuel Conversion Project.The agreement was
signed by Managing Director National Energy Conservation Centre (ENERCON)
Faridullah Khan and Stephen C Engelken, Deputy Chief of Mission US Embassy at
the Environment Ministry in presence of the Minister for Environment Hamid Ullah
Jan Afridi, Secretary Environment Javed Malik and other officials from the US
mission and the Ministry.Speaking on the occasion, the Minister appreciated the US
cooperation in the environment sector and informed that the country has already
launched a project of running 8000 Green Buses in different cities of the country.
The project shall be executed by the US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA)
and National Energy Conservation Centre (ENERCON).
Afridi highlighted that under the LPG-TFC project, the operational requirements to
convert Karachi, Hyderabad, Multan, Lahore, Faisalabad, Peshawar and Islamabad
and Rawalpindi bus fleets to LPG will also be assessed in detail.
“A comprehensive analysis will be carried out demonstrating the viability of LPG as
an alternative fuel to CNG and diesel and operational requirements needed to adopt
LPG fuelled bus operations in these cities,” he said.
The minister explained that based on detailed economic and financial analysis, the
role of private capital and investment for implementation of the project will be
determined to supply a bus fleet with LPG equipment on a commercial versus
financial lease basis.
The options shall be discussed with representatives of the World Bank, Asian
Development Bank, and at least one other international financial institution that has
made significant investments in Pakistan, before formulating final
recommendations, he added.
Stephen C. Engelken, Deputy Chief of Mission expressed commitment of the US
Government for cooperation and collaboration with Pakistan in all fields of economy
especially in trade and development.
He explained that ENERCON will utilize the grant funds, on behalf of the Pakistan
Government to implement a project on LPG Transport Fuel Conversion in the
country, which is expected to be completed by December 2011.
It was further elaborated that a detailed and comprehensive feasibility study under
this project will produce useful information and data with necessary analysis
required to consider adopting liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a fuel source for
land transportation operations in Pakistan.
Supply and demand forecast and assessments, including supply from Persian Gulf,
among other sources, shall also be carried out, Stephen said.
The technical and operational specifications required to adopting LPG as a
transportation fuel, including any infrastructure requirements, as well as the

economic, financial and legal considerations will be worked out for the
implementation of the project, he added.
Secretary Environment, Muhammad Javed Malik pointed out that a preliminary
review of the project’s anticipated impact on the environment shall be conducted,
with reference to all pertinent national, provincial and/or local requirements.
The review shall identify potential negative and positive impacts, discuss the extent
to which they can be mitigated, and develop plans for an environmental impact
assessment as may be required under the rules and regulations in force in
Pakistan, as and when the project moves forward to the implementation stage, he

All Day China hands over 3rd F-22P Frigate to Pakistan -- Voice of Karachi
Pakistan and China have made yet another landmark achievement in expansion of
their long and unwavering bilateral defence cooperation.
_______________________________________________________________
Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Noman Bashir while performing the commissioning of
the third F-22P frigate, PNS SAIF here on Wednesday said that it is indeed a proud
moment for both Pakistan and China, where like first and second, the third F-22P
frigate is also being delivered ahead of schedule. “It is an extra ordinary
achievement when looked at the technical complexities of this mega project”, said
CNS Admiral Noman Bashir while addrerssing an impressive ceremony that was
largely attended including President CSSC, Senior Officers from Pakistan and PLA
Navies, Senior Management of SASTIND, CSSC, Hudong Shipyard and CSTC.
Congratulating Pakistan and PLA Navies, CSTC and Hudong Shipyard and CNO
(China) teams for their successful joint efforts Admiral Bashir also congratulated the
Commanding Officer Captain Zubair Shafique and his crew for their contribution.
“May Allah bless PNS SAIF and all those who sail in it” he said.
Admiral Noman Bashi said that no doubt, this feat has been achieved through
focused approach at all levels of management and total cooperation between PLA
(Navy), SASTIND, CSSC, Hudong Shipyard and CSTC.He pointed out that it would
not be out of place here to reaffirm that Pak-China relationship is unique and does
not draw any parallel in the world.
This relationship, the CNS said over the years has matured in all fields, particularly
in defence. “Present geo-political situation demands further strengthening of our
relations and I assure you, that Pakistan is deeply committed to achieve our shared
objectives”, the CNS observed.
Admiral Noman Bashir said that the environment around us warrants Pakistan Navy
to be prepared to counter the forces, challenging our sovereignty as well as
regional peace and security. “I am confident that induction of these ships will not
only supplement our combat potential but will also afford Pakistan Navy the
opportunity to distinctly uphold its forward presence in area of interest, contributing
to balance the power equation in the region” said Admiral Noman Bashir.
“Let me say that today I feel contended to see the project progressing smoothly”
said Admiral Noman Bashir adding that the commissioning of PNS SAIF concludes
the construction phase of F-22P ships in China. He expressed the confidence that
the construction of 4th F-22P Ship in Pakistan will also be accomplished
successfully with full cooperation of Chinese friends.

EU Cuts Tariffs to Aid Pakistan .By JOHN W. MILLER
BRUSSELS—European Union governments agreed to suspend some tariffs on
imports from Pakistan in an effort to help it recover from this summer's brutal
flooding.
The cuts, however, will be less than hoped for by many activists, EU officials said, a
sign that the recession is limiting what rich countries are willing to do to help those
in need. Donor countries are meeting Sunday in New York to discuss ways of
raising more money for reconstruction in Pakistan.
U.S. special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan Richard Holbrooke said Thursday
that the world will be able to fund only a quarter of the tens of billons of dollars
needed to rebuild Pakistan, according to the Associated Press.
Pakistan sustained economic damage of around $15 billion, roughly 10% of its
gross domestic product. Flood-relief aid committed to Pakistan so far amounts to
$1.1 billion. Pakistan will have to pay for much of the reconstruction, especially by
improving its meager tax-collection record, Mr. Holbrooke said. "I don't want to
withhold money they need, but I think we have to be clear that the Congress is
going to be reluctant to give money if the money is filling in a gap because people
are not paying taxes," he said.
With aid budgets limited, diplomats have turned to trade, where Pakistan has ample
room to grow. With 170 million people, Pakistan is the sixth most populous nation.
Yet its exports totaled only $13.1 billion last year, roughly the same as Ecuador,
population 13.4 million. The EU imported only $4.6 billion in goods from Pakistan
last year, ranking Pakistan 46th among all of the EU's trading partners. Pakistani
exports to the U.S. amounted to $3.2 billion.
Pakistani textile firms, under pressure from Chinese competition, have taken the
lead in lobbying for better market access in the U.S. and EU. They are finding some
allies. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce wrote to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
and U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk last month to advise tariff cuts.
The U.S., which has donated more to the Pakistan relief efforts than any other
country, has so far declined to offer tariff cuts due to pressure from American textile
producers.
"The United States already provides considerable long term assistance and
preferential market access for exports from Pakistan," said a USTR spokeswoman.
"We currently are considering how best to structure continuing U.S. assistance in
view of the changed circumstances presented by the flood," she said.
On Thursday, EU leaders offered "the immediate and time-limited reduction of

duties on key imports." Pakistan will also be allowed to join a low-tariff scheme
known as GSP-plus by 2014. EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht will
administer the specific cuts.
In the end, the cuts will be about $400 million a year, EU officials said. The officials
expect the commissioner to limit the cuts to around that amount to protect
manufacturers in textile-producing nations such as Italy, Spain and France, which
say they fear being drowned out by Pakistani imports. There are also some
reservations in the EU's trade office that Pakistan might take away too much market
share from other "vulnerable" countries, such as Tunisia, Turkey and Mexico, an EU
235
Thu
official said.
Aid agencies praised the move. "Europe today stood out from the crowd and
showed the political resolve that is needed when major humanitarian emergencies
emerge, like the one currently affecting over 20 million people in Pakistan," said
Elise Ford, head of Oxfam's Brussels office.
Pakistani officials also lauded the plan. A similar plan had been enacted for a few
years after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in the U.S.
"Preferential access for Pakistani textiles in the EU market would strengthen

Pakistan's hands in fighting terrorists by creating jobs and prosperity," said
Farahnaz Ispahani, a spokesman for President Asif Ali Zardari. "President Zardari
has consistently argued that enabling Pakistan to realize its full economic potential
will lead to our expanding trade and eliminating need for aid."

All Day The strategically situated port at Gwadar in Balochistan is all set to be
handed over to China
The strategically situated port at Gwadar in Balochistan is all set to be handed over
to China.
Having been constructed by Pakistan’s “all-weather ally”, the port’s control may just
have slipped from Singapore’s clutches due to financial issues.
The News reported on September 16: “It will mean much more than the transfer of
power at the Gwadar port. The Chinese will build Gwadar as a tax-free industrial
hub... and a network of roads and railways... to China through the ancient Silk
Route. An ambitious deal to build railways along the Khunjrab Pass has already
been signed between Pakistan and China. The Chinese are more suited to develop
the port and the network of rail and roads in Balochistan as they have experience
and the muscle to work in the troublesome part of Pakistan.”
An editorial in the newspaper the next day welcomed the development: “There are a
number of points which would suggest that the Chinese may be more profitable
partners for us at Gwadar. Not the least of these is the vast tonnage of shipping that
they could bring in, the oil and gas termini they could develop and the potential for
infrastructure development that would follow along. We have already inked an
agreement with the Chinese for a feasibility study of a rail link roughly parallel to the
Karakoram Highway. It is no stretch of the imagination to see that link running from
Kashgar to Gwadar in the next 10 to 15 years. They are already working with us in
Gilgit-Baltistan on the upgrading of the Karakoram Highway to an all-weather
highway, they are resilient people and able to work in the sometimes difficult
environment we present.”

‫‪Pakistan receives first shipment of power plant donated by UAE‬‬
‫‪Sep 17, 2010 - 03:31 -‬‬
‫‪WAM Islamabad, Sep 17th, 2010 (WAM)--Pakistan yesterday received the first‬‬
‫‪parts of the electric power station, which was earlier donated by the late Sheikh‬‬
‫‪Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan to help the Pakistani government to address shortage‬‬
‫‪in the electric power.‬‬
‫‪It is scheduled that all parts of the power plant with a capacity of 320MW, would‬‬
‫‪reach Pakistan in three stages, of which the last will be in the end of October.‬‬
‫‪The Pakistani Geo TV channel said the kind gesture came from His Highness‬‬
‫‪Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, during the visit of President Asif Ali Zardari,‬‬
‫‪President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to Abu Dhabi, referring to the‬‬
‫‪memorandum of understanding signed by His Highness Sheikh Diab bin Zayed Al‬‬
‫‪Nahyan, Chairman of Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority with Raja Pervez‬‬
‫‪Ashraf, Pakistani Minister of Water and Energy in February of 2009 to deliver the‬‬
‫‪power station, which operates on natural gas, to Pakistan.‬‬
‫‪The newspaper "Daily Times", said the delivery of the power station by the United‬‬
‫‪Arab Emirates reflects the depth of the friendly relations between the two countries.‬‬
‫‪Meanwhile, the Pakistani President said that the station is dedicated to the people‬‬
‫‪of Pakistan and will greatly assist in meeting the immediate needs of power,‬‬
‫‪stressing that people will never forget this noble gesture, which he described as a‬‬
‫‪symbol of love and fidelity.‬‬
‫‪The newspaper quoted a spokesman for the Pakistan Electric Power Company‬‬
‫‪"Bebeko" as saying that the station consists of five units each with a capacity of 16‬‬
‫‪MW and eight other units each generates 30 megawatts.‬‬

All Day Chinese takeaway -- The Dawn
Chinese takeaway
The strategically situated port at Gwadar in Balochistan is all set to be handed over
to China. Having been constructed by Pakistan’s “all-weather ally”, the port’s control
may just have slipped from Singapore’s clutches due to financial issues.
The News reported on September 16: “It will mean much more than the transfer of
power at the Gwadar port. The Chinese will build Gwadar as a tax-free industrial
hub... and a network of roads and railways... to China through the ancient Silk
Route. An ambitious deal to build railways along the Khunjrab Pass has already
been signed between Pakistan and China. The Chinese are more suited to develop
the port and the network of rail and roads in Balochistan as they have experience
and the muscle to work in the troublesome part of Pakistan.”
An editorial in the newspaper the next day welcomed the development: “There are a
number of points which would suggest that the Chinese may be more profitable
partners for us at Gwadar. Not the least of these is the vast tonnage of shipping that
they could bring in, the oil and gas termini they could develop and the potential for
infrastructure development that would follow along. We have already inked an
agreement with the Chinese for a feasibility study of a rail link roughly parallel to the
Karakoram Highway. It is no stretch of the imagination to see that link running from
Kashgar to Gwadar in the next 10 to 15 years. They are already working with us in
Gilgit-Baltistan on the upgrading of the Karakoram Highway to an all-weather
highway, they are resilient people and able to work in the sometimes difficult
environment we present.”

Japan grants $407,318 for supporting flood victims
ISLAMABAD: The government of Japan decided to extend financial support of $

407,318 to the Al-Khidmat Foundation, a non-government organisation, for the
Project for Supporting the Flood Affected People in Charsadda, Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa.
The agreement for the project was signed on Friday at the Japanese Ambassador’s
residence in Islamabad between Ambassador of Japan to Pakistan Chihiro Atsumi
and the president of Al-Khidmat Foundation Naimatullah Khan. The grant would be
utilised for flood relief activities in Charsadda. This project would benefit more than
150,000 people that have lost their property, livestock, crop and shelter.
Ambassador Atsumi expressed hope that Japan’s emergency relief would further
strengthen the existing friendly relations between the people of Japan and Pakistan.
The Japanese Disaster Relief Team started its airlift activities by helicopters in
Multan and also started its medical support activities in southern Punjab. staff report

UN launches $2.6 billion appeal for flood-hit Pakistan
* Money will help fund 483 projects
* New appeal includes $459.7 million requested earlier
UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations and its partners on Friday launched an
appeal for over $2.6 billion – the largest ever – to help up to 14 million flood victims
for one year.
The money would help fund 483 projects, which are to be carried out by 15 UN
bodies, the International Organisation for Migration and 156 national and
international non-government organisations (NGOs). The new appeal includes
$459.7 million requested earlier on August 11. A UN press statement said
Pakistan’s development prospects might be disrupted for many years.

“The damage to economic infrastructure and livelihoods is immense. Irrigation,

drainage and storage facilities are badly affected. Farmers who lost their crops and
who are not able to plant their fields by November are likely to remain dependent on
aid until well into 2012. Hundreds of thousands more lost their shops or other small
businesses.”
“We are seeing the equivalent of a new disaster every few days,” said Valerie
Amos, the UN under secretary general for humanitarian affairs and emergency
relief coordinator. “Yesterday, new breaches of the embankments of Manchhar
Lake flooded more villages. Millions of people have lost everything. Our task is to
give people the help they need,” she added. The appeal seeks funding for various
sectors, including agriculture; camp coordination and management, community
restoration; coordination; education, food, health, logistics, nutrition, protection,
shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene. From the initial request of $459 million, 80
percent has been received, leaving a gap of $1.6 billion.

Govt to ink GPFA of TAPI on September 20
Staff Report
ISLAMABAD: The federal government will reportedly ink the Gas Pipeline
Framework Agreement (GPFA) of Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI)
gas pipeline on September 20.
Sources informed Daily Times that Federal Minister for Petroleum & Natural
Resources Syed Naveed Qamar would ink the GPFA agreement along with the
counterpart ministers from Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and India on September 20.
TAPI gas pipeline project is being planned to bring natural gas from Turkmenistan
through Afghanistan to Pakistan and India. The Heads of State of Turkmenistan,
Afghanistan and Pakistan signed Inter Governmental Agreement (IGA) for joint oil
and gas pipeline projects between the three countries in 2002.
India joined the project in 2008 and a revised GPFA was initialled for the induction
of India, thus changing the project from TAP to TAPI. The Asian Development Bank
(ADB) sponsored pre-feasibility study – conducted in 2004, which indicated that the
1680 km pipeline project was economically and financially viable while the
estimated cost was $3.3 billion (revised to $ 7.6 billion in 2008).
“Pipeline would be designed to carry 3.2 BCFD gas from Turkmenistan, delivering
0.5 BCFD to Afghanistan and 1.35 BCFD each to Pakistan and India. Pakistan
would be able to produce 6000 MW electricity using 1.35 BCFD gas,” he added.
Sources maintained that President Asif Ali Zardari has directed Syed Naveed
Qamar to expedite concluding various agreements with the target of finalising Gas
Sales Purchase Agreement by the end of this year or early next year.
He further added that after the signing of GPFA in Ashgabat next week, rigorous
rounds of negotiations would be convened in order to finalise the Gas Sales
Purchase Agreement during a proposed TAPI summit in Ashgabat. The renewed
attention to this project from the present government would lead to significantly
improving energy availability for Pakistan and help resolve the energy crisis.
Turkmenistan and Afghanistan had signed an agreement on construction of the

Trans-Afghanistan (TAPI) gas pipeline for the transfer of Turkmen gas to Pakistan
and India, on August 31 (Tuesday), however TAPI project, first put forward in 1995,
was promoted by the country’s late leader, Saparmurat Niyazov, in the early 2000s.
It secured strong support from Washington after a US-led offensive ended the
Taliban’s five-year rule over Afghanistan in 2001. Turkmen President Kurbanguly
Berdymukhamedov and his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai have agreed to
discuss the project at the 65th United Nations General Assembly in New York in
September.

Two documents were signed Monday by the four countries at the meeting. These
included the heads of agreements for the proposed Gas Sales Purchase
Agreement (GSPA) and initialization of the Gas Pipeline Framework Agreement
(GPFA).
'The cabinet has already given in-principle approval to the GPFA. However the final
signing would be done only after the Cabinet approves this document,' the press
release said.
The meeting was also attended by Turkmenistan Deputy Prime Minister Baymyrat
Hojamuhammedov, Turkmenistan Oil and Gas Minister B. Nedirov, Afghan Mining
Industry Minister Wahidullah Shahrani and Pakistan's Petroleum and Natural
Resources Minister Naveed Qamar.
Under the TAPI project, a 1,680-km pipeline will be laid down with a capacity of 90
million metric standard cubic metre per day (mmscmd). India would get a share of
38 mmscmd.
As per the release, Prasada said the project could be successful only if the transit
fees for the gas through various countries is kept 'at minimum'. He added that the
pricing and the GSPA issues had to be resolved to the full satisfaction of all partner
countries.
Further, the security issues had to be 'properly addressed', so that there was
complete clarity on institutional mechanisms to address this subject, added

All Day Turkmen and Texan oilmen -- Nicholas Watson in Prague

Turkmen and Texan oilmen
September 20, 2010
Taking a leaf out of the geopolitical strategy book of neighbouring Kazakhstan,

Turkmenistan appears from its latest moves to be following a similar oil and gas
development policy that's geared toward balancing the competing claims of Asia,
Russia and the West.
The latest move concerns diversifying export routes for the country's natural gas.
On September 20, the energy ministers of Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and
India are scheduled to sign a agreement in Ashgabat to build the Turkmenistan-
Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline. This southern route for
Turkmenistan's gas exports – which currently consists of two pipelines to Iran that
sent just 6bn cm of gas in 2009 - offers a third way to the traditional northern route
to Russia and the new eastern route to China. The TAPI pipeline would run some
1,700 kilometres south and have a throughput capacity of 30bn cubic metres per
year (cm/y). At the same time, Berdymukhamedov is pushing his government to
conclude gas supply agreements with Pakistan and India, which have expressed
interest in buying up to 70bn cm/y of Turkmen gas.
However, pipelines are a bit like houses in that if one has been on the market for a
long time, it usually means there's something wrong with it. The problem for TAPI,
which has been on the drawing board since the 1990s, is the chronic instability in
Afghanistan, which shows no sign of improving any time soon. "I would say the
Turkmens are fairly serious about the pipeline, but the project itself seems to stand
little chance of proceeding; pushing for TAPI progress in itself could be beneficial
for Turkmenistan, however, in perhaps balancing out China's rising influence in
Turkmenistan with a potential counterweight in India," says Andrew Neff of the
consultancy IHS Global Insight.
China has been the main beneficiary so far of Turkmenistan's attempts to diversify
its export routes, with the building of the Central Asia-China gas pipeline that runs
through Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan and a long-term supply agreement struck with
China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) that should see Turkmen gas
exports eventually reach 30bn cm/y over the next few decades.
On 13 August, Turkmenistan state television reported that during a meeting with his
top energy officials, Berdymukhammedov pushed for the finalisation of a $4.1bn
loan from China's state development bank, which would go toward building a "state-
of-the-art complex for cleaning gas so its quality meets the highest international
standards", as well as development of the South Yolotan gas deposit, which UK-
based international advisory firm Gaffney Cline & Associates in 2008 estimated has
between at least 4 trillion cm and 14 trillion cm, with its "best" estimate at 6 trillion
cm, which would rank it among the world's top five gasfields.
"The Turkmen government has yet to say who, if anyone, it would involve in
developing the [South Yolotan] field, but China is light years ahead in the race - not
even a real competition at this point," says Neff. "China has the advantage in terms
of finances, infrastructure - the Central Asia-China pipeline is now a reality, whereas
Nabucco is still more of an idea than anything else and a trans-Caspian pipeline
would still be needed after that - and geographic proximity. Plus, CNPC has already
clinched a long-term gas purchase and supply deal with Turkmenistan, and South
Yolotan gas is likely going to be needed to help fulfil this deal."
Any mention of the European Union-backed Nabucco gas pipeline was notably
absent from the state television report, which will be a worry for Brussels. But

perhaps the most surprising omission was reference to the country's traditional
energy partner, Russia.

ADB expands Pakistan trade finance by $500m
Staff Report
ISLAMABAD: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is expanding its Trade Finance
Programme (TFP) in Pakistan by an additional $500 million, an ADB statement
issued stated on Monday.
It said that this could provide around $1.5 to $2 billion of trade finance to help the
country cope with the immediate needs arising from the recent devastating floods
as well as long-term reconstruction requirements.
ADB President Haruhiko Kuroda announced this at a high-level ministerial meeting

on the flood emergency in Pakistan, held at the UN building in New York.
The TFP provides loans and guarantees through, and in conjunction with,
international and ADB’s developing member country banks to support trade
transactions in developing countries. By attracting private sector financing, and
because the typically short-term trade finance can roll over, the impact of the
additional funding had multiplied. In 2009, TFP exposure of $249 million to Pakistan
banks supported $983 million in trade.
“The widespread flooding has exacted a heavy toll on the people of Pakistan. They
will need medicines and food straight away and, later on, capital equipment to get
the economy humming again,” Kuroda said

China to build 1GW nuclear power plant in Pakistan
BEIJING: China’s main nuclear energy corporation is in talks to build a 1GW atomic
power plant in Pakistan, a China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) executive
said on Monday.
China has already helped Pakistan build its main nuclear power facility at Chashma
in Punjab, where one reactor is running and another nearly finished, and it has
contracts to build two more there, despite the qualms of other governments. Qiu
Jiangang, vice president of the CNNC, told a meeting in Beijing that the company
was already looking beyond those deals to an even bigger plant.
“Both sides are in discussions over CNNC exporting a 1GW nuclear plant to
Pakistan,” he said. Qiu confirmed the two countries had signed contracts to build
the No 3 and No 4 reactors of about 300MW each at Chashma. He did not give
details about who was involved in discussions for the bigger plant and how far the
talks had progressed.
A senior Pakistani government official familiar with discussions between Pakistan

and China on nuclear cooperation said, “We are facing acute energy shortages and
these nuclear power plants are important for us to overcome these shortages.” “We
as well as China have said time and again that all this cooperation is under the
safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency and there should not be any
worries or concerns about it,” said the official, who demanded anonymity. reuters

All Day Column: Pakistan is a part of China's westward challenge to the U.S. --
BY XIAOXIONG
Column: Pakistan is a part of China's westward challenge to the U.S.
Buzz up!Twitter FarkIt Type Size A A A Beijing is embarking on a new strategy with
regard to Islamabad. Pakistan is becoming a key player in China's ambitious
westward expansion vis-à-vis the United States in West Asia and the Indian Ocean.
"A quiet geopolitical crisis," writes Selig Harrison, former South Asia Bureau Chief
of the Washington Post, "is unfolding in the Himalayan borderlands of northern
Pakistan, where Islamabad is handing over de facto control of the strategic Gilgit-
Baltistan region in the northern part of disputed Kashmir to China ... and 11,000
Chinese troops have poured into the Pakistani-administered Kashmir."
Indian military sources confirmed a Chinese infantry battalion now is deployed in

Gilgit-Baltistan at the Khunjerab Pass to provide security for Chinese workers and
railroad soldiers to work on widening the Karakoram highway and building a high-
speed railroad.
The control of Pakistani-administered Kashmir will give China a strategic land

access to the Gulf through Pakistan. As Harrison points out, "It takes 16 to 25 days
for Chinese tankers to reach the Gulf. When high-speed rail and road links through
Gilgit-Baltistan are completed, China will be able to transport cargo from Eastern
China to the new Chinese-built Pakistani naval bases at Gwadar, Pasni and
Ormara, just east of the Gulf, within 48 hours."
Chinese People's Liberation Army soldiers also are constructing 22 tunnels in

secret locations in Pakistan. One obvious use of these tunnels is for the projected
gas pipeline from Iran to China, but they also can be used for missile storage sites
in Pakistan.
Analysts in Southeast and South Asia now see Pakistan as "China's other North
Korea." As K. Subrahmanyam, senior defense analyst of Indian Express,
summarizes, "major projects in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), large-scale
military presence in PoK, plans for a railway line and oil and gas pipelines
connecting Xinjiang and the Pakistani port of Gwadar, and the agreement to supply
Pakistan with two nuclear reactors, all these taken together indicate that Pakistan is
253
Wed
likely to play the major role in China's West Asia strategy that North Korea does in
its East Asia strategy."
China is not only the biggest arms supplier for Pakistan, but Islamabad also
depends on Beijing for transfer of technology and military know-how. China has not
only modernized Pakistani armed forces, but also established many advanced joint
military projects in Pakistan. China has provided Pakistan's military with more than
400 combat aircrafts, 1,600 large tanks, and 40 navy ships.
Pakistan's nuclear and missile projects are backed by China as well. China has
consistently provided Pakistan with wide-ranging assistance in helping Pakistan to
develop nuclear weapons and a variety of missiles, ranging from short range M-11s
to medium range M-9s and intermediate range M-18s, capable of carrying nuclear
warheads with an estimated reach of 500-1800 kilometers. "If you subtract China's
help from the Pakistani nuclear program," says Gary Milhollin of the Wisconsin
Project on Nuclear Arms Control, "there is no Pakistani nuclear program."
China's "generous" assistance to Pakistan is not limited to military and nuclear

fronts, but includes the economic front as well. More than 60 Chinese state
corporations and more than 10,000 Chinese technicians are working on more than
120 projects in Pakistan. Chinese investment in Pakistan's defense, banking, oil
exploration and mining sectors was valued at $10 billion in 2009, a figure estimated
to grow to $15 billion in 2010.
Pakistan is a critical link in the chain of China's new "westward strategy." Beijing's
Pakistan policy, together with its support for Tehran's nuclear weapons program
and its sale of long-range missiles to Saudi Arabia, all are connected in China's
move to take advantage of what Beijing perceives as declining U.S. power in the
region.
China is marching westward through Pakistan. Beijing also is making Islamabad

increasingly dependent on China. When asked if Islamabad is worried about
Chinese state-owned enterprises taking control of some of Pakistan's most
important companies, Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari stated, "We don't have any
concern, and we don't feel China is a threat." "Pakistan's future lies in East with
China," Azam Khan Swati, Pakistan's Federal Minister for Science and Technology,
remarked recently.
Although the United States has confirmed the information about the growing Sino-
Pakistan nexus, and despite President Barack Obama's repeated declarations that
Pakistan is central to American security, Pakistan is a country that remains largely
ignored by the United States. Washington has made no effort to counter the rising
Beijing-Islamabad military alliance and adopted no tangible policy against the
nuclear aid by China. It is time for the U.S. to look seriously at the Sino-Pakistan
nexus.

Li Sen was also present on the occasion. He also briefed the participants about the
possibilities of bilateral trade between the two countries in different sectors.
Participants of the seminar said that the Free Trade Agreement should be beneficial
for both the countries and government should help the business men who wants to

Chairman Economics Department Government College University Lahore Asif
Saeed, Ex-Commercial Counsellor of Beijing Shahid Mahmood Khan, Chairman
Pak-China and ASEAN Economic Relations Siddiq-ur-Rehman Rana and Ex-
Defence Attaché Beijing Brigadier Muhammad Saeed.
Speaking on the occasion Director Privatisation Commission of Pakistan Kausar Ali

Zaidi while explaining the rules of Origin of Pak-China Free Trade Agreement said
that claim products be accepted for preferential concession is to be supported by a
Certificate of Origin issued by a government authority designated by the exporting
Party and notified to the other Party to the Agreement in accordance with the
operational certification procedures.
He also said that preservation of exportable products should be ensured. It should

be make sure that products should be in good condition during transportation and
storage process such as drying, freezing, keeping in brine, ventilation, spreading
out, chilling, placing in salt, sulphur dioxide or other aqueous solutions, removal of
damaged parts.
Head Research & Analysis Directorate WTO Cell, TDAP Mujeb Khan speaking on
the exploring Pakistan's Export Potential to China in the context of Pak-China Free
Trade Agreement said that Pakistan's import from China are quite diversified. It
imports every thing except petroleum from China.
He said that Except "frozen fish" all items exported to China are not final goods;
they are secondary goods or raw material, which is used for further production. He
further said that cellular phone sets and network installation equipments are the
biggest imports from China and in category - 1 of the FTA. During 2009 Pakistan's
import of all kind of telephony appliances including cell phones and its network
installation equipment was 66.4 percent of total import of Pakistan.
Pakistan imports almost its entire requirement of; Artificial/Synthetic & Man-made
filament yarn, Dredgers, Nitrile-function compounds, from China. However, items
like Pesticides/insecticides/herbicides, Electric transformers, Pneumatic tires of
rubber, Antibiotics, Oxygen-function amino compounds, Boilers, Plastic made
machine parts account for nearly of 50 percent of Pakistan's world imports.
Khan said that for the fiscal year 2009-10 TDAP issued 8058 Certificate of Origin for
Pak China FTA, which export value was $561.178 million. This is over 50 prcent
higher than last year performance. However, total final figure for this year is yet to
be released by FBS, after which detailed analysis can be done.
"Pakistan total export to China during last financial year 2008-09 was US $684.793
million, however under FTA this export value was 372.153 million, which is 54.34
percent of total export to China. This fact implies that importers of Pakistani
255
Wed
products in China were able to get only half of benefit available under Pak-China
FTA," he said.
He further said that 53 non-textiles and non-leather items in which Pakistan's world
exports was above $3 million and Chinese import was more than $10 million in the
year 2009. These items account for only $ half a million worth of exports to China,
whereas; Pakistan's export to the world of these products was $1,539 million.
China's world import of these items were $14,931 million.
There are 9 items, which are given zero rate market access. Pakistan total export of
these items to the world was $205.5 million. Pakistan could export only 3 items
which made $56 thousand export and remaining 6 items were not exported. It
implies that there was a large number of items, which have great potential in
Chinese markets, which if utilise properly can generate over $1 billion export
earnings.
About the potential items for the bilateral trade between the two countries he said
that Cotton yarn is the only product on export of which Pakistani exporters are
availing concession almost 85 percent of total export consignments. There are few
items, on export of which Pakistani exporters have availed concessions on a very
few consignments, these are Cotton fabrics, Chemicals, Handicraft (Marble), Goat
hair, Salt, Copper wire, Plaster of Paris and Razor Blades etc-etc.

Islamabad—German investors are keen to invest in Pakistan to take advantage of

investment friendly policy of the government here.
Stephen Roken, Charge d’Affairs of German embassy said this while giving details
about recently concluded visit of 21-member German business delegation to
Pakistan.
Talking to journalists along with Dr. Gregor Schotten, Counsellor Political and
Economic Affairs and head of Economic Section, Stephen Roken said, the 21-
member delegation went home with positive impression of Pakistan. Stehpen said,
“It was one if the most important visits of German investors to Pakistan.
The members of the delegation were German businessmen from various sectors
such as energy, construction, engineering, environmental technologies, business
consulting and other fields.
He said there is possibility for investment in solar and wind energy development.
Replying to a question, he said, although terrorism is part of the reality, but the 21-
member German delegation who visited recently was satisfied with the security
arrangements made in Pakistan and convinced that perception of security situation
being presented in media was wrong. He said 36 German companies are
successfully engaged in business in Pakistan and more would come in near future
especially in the sector of renewable energy sector.
Replying to a question on the possibility of German investment in other energy

sector, German Charge Affairs said, circular debt of billions of rupees, bad
management in energy sector and lack of proper energy policy were the major
hurdles in the way of foreign investment in this sector.
He said security of payment for the energy produced in the country, was not certain.
There is need to have a comprehensive energy policy to encourage foreign
investment in this sector.
The world, he said, is not in favour of increasing power rates for the poor, but the
subsidy to the influential who can pay, should not be given concessions. Answering
a question he said, German will representatives from agriculture sector would visit
Pakistan soon as there is great potential for joint ventures and start new projects in
Pakistan with German assistance.

BuzzPrint Pakistan’s central bank, seeking to double Islamic banking assets in
three years, is urging lenders from the Persian Gulf to open branches in rural areas.
Albaraka Banking Group, the largest publicly traded Islamic bank in Bahrain, is
increasing branches to 80 from 30, Kaleem Iqbal, a senior executive vice president
at the local unit, said in a Sept. 21 interview in Islamabad. Meezan Bank, controlled
by Kuwait’s Noor Financial Investment Co., is opening 25 outlets this year, said
Amir Ali, head of investment banking in Karachi.
Gulf banks are looking outside of the region for expansion after lending that
complies with Shariah law slumped 46 percent to $3.3 billion in Europe, the Middle
East and Africa this year, compared with $6 billion in the same period of 2009,
257
Thu
according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Pakistan has six Islamic banks with 668
branches and plans to approve two more as it seeks to boost lending to rural
communities, Saleem Ullah, director of Islamic banking at the Karachi-based central
bank, said in an e- mail on Sept. 16.
“The State Bank of Pakistan’s policy encouraging banks to open branches in rural
areas makes it easier to get new licenses,” Ali said yesterday in an interview. “We
may end up opening 225 more branches in the next four years and the majority of
those will be in smaller towns.”
Sukuk Issuance
Albaraka plans to spend $200 million on acquisitions and is looking at buying

assets in Indonesia and Malaysia, Chief Executive Officer Adnan Ahmed Yousif
said yesterday. The Manama- based bank also plans to sell $200 million of Islamic
bonds, or sukuk, by the end of 2010 and appointed Standard Chartered Plc as a
manager for the sale, Yousif said at a conference in Dubai.
“We prefer to either start an Islamic bank or acquire an Islamic bank,” he said.
Qatar Islamic Bank plans to sell its first dollar sukuk and will start meeting investors
in the Middle East, Asia and Europe from tomorrow, according to a statement from
the Gulf state’s biggest Shariah-compliant lender.
Global sales of sukuk have dropped this year as debt restructuring in the Persian
Gulf, falling property prices and doubts about the strength of the global recovery
damped demand for issuance. Planned fourth-quarter sales of $5.5 billion will help
relieve the shortage of supply, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Islamic bond sales declined 24 percent to $10.7 billion so far this year, compared
with $14 billion in the same period a year ago, according to data compiled by
Bloomberg.
Access to Credit
The spread between the average yield for emerging-market sukuk and the London
interbank offered rate widened one basis point to 376 yesterday, according to the
HSBC/NASDAQ Dubai US Dollar Sukuk Index. The yield difference has narrowed
91 basis points from 467 at the end of last year.
Shariah-compliant bonds returned 10.8 percent this year, according to the

HSBC/NASDAQ Dubai US Dollar Sukuk Index, while debt in developing markets
gained 13 percent, JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s EMBI Global Diversified Index shows.
The yield on Malaysia’s 3.928 percent Islamic note due June 2015 fell two basis
points to 2.63 percent today, according to prices from Royal Bank of Scotland
Group Plc. The yield on the Dubai Department of Finance’s 6.396 percent sukuk
maturing in November 2014 was unchanged at 6.37 percent, RBS prices show.
Pakistan’s central bank estimated in a December 2008 report that of the country’s
6.6 million farmers, only 2 million had access to credit. Policy makers plan to
increase Islamic financing to 12 percent of the total by the end of 2012, from 6
percent, to cater to Muslims, who account for 97 percent of the nation’s 170 million
population, Ullah said.
‘Urban Clients’
“Islamic banks are providing 80 percent of their services to urban clients,” said Iqbal
at Al Baraka Islamic Bank. “Islamic banks can provide best products to the farmers,
who will be more attracted to Islamic services because people in villages are
generally more inclined toward the religion.”
Pakistan plans to sell sukuk maturing in a year or less in the domestic market by the
end of this month, Syed Wasimuddin, a spokesman for the State Bank of Pakistan,
258
Thu
said in an e-mailed statement on Sept. 8.
Islamic banking assets in Pakistan reached 411 billion rupees ($4.8 billion) as of
June, or 6 percent of the total, Wasimuddin said. That compares with 303.3 billion
ringgit ($98 billion) in Malaysia, accounting for 19.6 percent of the total, the central
bank said in March. The Southeast Asian nation is the world’s biggest market for
sukuk.
‘Comparative Advantage’
A shortage of investment options and services offered to limited clients is

hampering growth in Islamic banking in Pakistan, according to Dawood Islamic
Bank Ltd., which is 35 percent owned by Bahrain’s Unicorn Investment Bank.
“Islamic banks have no short-term products to deploy their liquidity,” Pervez Said,
chief executive officer of Dawood Islamic, said in a Sept. 14 interview from Karachi.
“It is natural for us to go to non-traditional sectors like microfinance and agriculture.”
Agriculture in Pakistan accounted for a quarter of the nation’s $150 billion economy
in the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2010, government data in May showed.
The nation was hit by the worst floods since independence in 1947 last month,
destroying crops worth $1 billion.
“The central bank is encouraging Islamic banking institutions to tap non-traditional

sectors like agriculture, where they have a comparative advantage over their
conventional counterparts,” said Ullah.

Record 107 ships dismantled at Gaddani ISLAMABAD: Chief of the Naval Staff
Admiral Noman Basheer said here on Thursday that the Gwadar Port was not
serving the purpose for which it had been build and, therefore, an agreement with
the Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) for management of facilities and development
of infrastructure should be cancelled.
“The agreement is one-sided and a lot of incentives have been given to the PSA,”
he said while talking to reporters after presiding over a book launching ceremony at
the Bahria University.
He said the government should review the concessionary deal because the PSA
had not been able to develop the port up to its potential.
Admiral Basheer said the PSA was to be given 2,500 acres of land under the deal,
while the navy was being accused of illegally possessing 500-600 acres of it.
“The (ministry of) ports and shipping should stop finding excuses and levelling
allegations and focus its attention on the national asset the potential of which is yet
to be exploited.”
CHINESE SUBMARINES:
The naval chief said talks were under way with China for six to eight submarines
and the quality and cost were the basic factors behind the move.
He said the talks were launched after a deal with Germany for four submarines
could not be finalised because of exorbitant cost.
However, he said, both countries were still negotiating to resolve the issue.
Admiral Basheer said Pakistan badly needed submarines because four of the six
submarines in the fleet had passed their life and the other two needed to be
refurbished.
He said China was a time-tested friend of Pakistan and the only country in Asia
which had developed expertise in building submarines.
The delivery schedule and cost also suited Pakistan’s needs.
“We can seek soft loan from China to fund the submarine project,” he said, adding
that the time factor in acquisition of the submarines was of paramount importance.
The naval chief said eight used frigates would be acquired from the United States
and they would have to be refurbished before their induction into the fleet. He said

Pakistan set to award $25m consultancy to German firm
Thursday September 16, 2010 (1207 PST)
KARACHI: Pakistan is set to appoint ILF Consulting Engineers as the consultant for
the Iran gas pipeline within six days, making first step toward the much-delayed
project to meet energy shortage, a senior petroleum ministry official said on
Wednesday.
“The cost of the consultancy project will be $25 million and they will have to
complete the technical feasibility within 12 months,” Secretary Petroleum, Ejaz
Chaudhry, told our sources. The Germany-based consultants would be working on
the pipeline along with National Engineering Services Pakistan Ltd. (Nespak), he
said.
According to the Iran’s state-run television, Tehran has already built most of the
1,000 km pipeline on its territory. However, the work on the remaining 900
kilometres at the Pakistani side has been pending for years.
Chaudhry said that the project was very much in hand and the ministry understood
its importance in securing energy supplies for the country. “We have taken every
scenario into consideration, including the sanctions against Iran.”
The petroleum ministry official said that despite threats of losing ties with US
companies, investors from Dubai, China and Germany had shown interest in
financing the deal, Chaudhry said. “We have targeted January 2012 to start
construction of the pipeline and trust me, financiers are out there,” he added.
Iran and Pakistan signed the historic pipeline deal in March this year under which
750 million cubic feet of gas will be pumped daily by mid-2015. The 7.5-billion-dollar
project, dubbed as “peace pipeline”, will snake out of Iran’s South Fars field into
Balochistan and Sindh provinces.
Chaudhry said that there was a proposal to involve state-run companies in

arranging funds for the project. “There is EOBI, OGDCL and State Life for making
the initial investment.”
Pakistan has been looking at internal sources to fund the gas pipeline as financing
from international lenders becomes shaky in the wake of UN sanctions on Iran.
According to the secretary, the Petroleum Ministry had sought legal opinion of
international experts to ‘go around’ the sanctions. “We are studying every option,”
he added.
Under a force majeure clause of the gas sale purchase agreement, the project can
be stopped if sanctions are imposed on Iran. According to a government official, the
government would setup a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal in Gwadar if the
project failed to materialise.

Thar coal Reserve of Sindh, Pakistan is more than the oil reserves of Saudi Arabia
and Iran.
These reserves estimated at 850 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas, about 30 times
higher than Pakistan’s proven gas reserves of 28 TCF, said Abdul Quayyum Khan
Kundi, President Pakistan Chamber of Commerce & Industry-USA while meeting
with Zahid Maqbool, President of Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
He informed that a forum on "Coal: Lucrative Business Opportunities in Pakistan"

will be held in Houston, Texas on November 18-19 to give awareness to the
international community about the huge potential of coal and opportunities of
investment in Pakistan.
Mr. Waseem Rahiem, Chairman Standing Committee Coal PCC-USA said that
these Coal reserves, worth USD 25 trillion, can cater to not only the electricity
requirements of the country for next 100 years but also save more than four billion
dollars per year in oil import bill.
Despite having these vast reserves of Coal, Pakistan today meets less than 1% of
its electricity needs from Coal power generation. Instead it meets almost 35% of its
needs from the more expensive oil based thermal power plants. Compare this to
other developing countries in the region China and India, which meet 70% and 57%
respectively of their energy needs from Coal, said Kundi.
He said that the purpose of the two-day forum was to convince the foreign investors
to take advantage of investment in this sector and also to meet the energy demands
of Pakistan. President of PCC-USA said that teams of technical experts from other
counties will also be invited and forum will provide an opportunity to American
businesses to interact and network with the decision makers from Pakistan
attending this Forum.
Zahid Maqbool, welcoming the delegation, appreciated for organizing that important
event and said that international investors must be motived to invest in coal sector
to produce electricity. He said that government should also support this event and
look for other alternate energy resources to meet the rising energy demands of the
country.
President said that PCC-USA should also do efforts for increased access of
Pakistani products in the USA markets especially in the wake of current flood that
has damaged a large portion of the country. He said that USA should give more
market access for textile products and should also consider reducing duties on
Pakistani products to boost its exports and help sustain Pakistan’s economy.
He said that Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry will also bring a
delegation in the forum inviting businessmen from other parts of the country.

change in climate, not just random events. The dimensions of Chinese flood aid
were made clear in a briefing by the Chinese Embassy in Islamabad on Thursday,
as well as by the meeting of Ambassador Liu Jian with PML(N) Quaid Mian Nawaz
Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif at their Raiwind residence
the same day. China’s own flooding and landslides not only affected 110 million
people, and 7002 hectares of crops, but caused about $21.3 billion in losses; yet
not only had it announced aid of $50 million, now, since the flooding destruction has
been greater than originally feared, Chinese PM Wen Jiabao has announced a
further $200 million. This is in addition to the largest medical mission in Chinese
history, consisting of 200 doctors and paramedics, including a PLA team of 68, now
in Sehwan, where they arrived as recently as September 20. At the same time,
China will help fully in the rehabilitation phase, and will continue to provide
humanitarian aid based on Pakistan’s needs. All this has been done not because
China has any interest in Pakistan, but out of a humanitarian spirit, without any
desire to obtain benefits for itself. Meanwhile, Ambassador Liu accepted Mian
Shahbaz’s invitation to the donors conference convened by the Punjab government
for September 30.
Once again it has been shown that China’s friendship for Pakistan is not based on
China’s need, but on principles. It is only the historic friendship of the two which is
coming now to Pakistan’s help.
After the decision to build a nuclear power plant to help meet Pakistan’s power
needs, Pakistan should be aware of its true friends. Chinese help is not predicated,
as American, on doing their bidding, whatever the consequences for Pakistans own
interests, but on common interests. Therefore we see the USA so niggardly in
helping Pakistan in its hour of need, yet still attempting to impose its agenda, while
Chinese help is without any strings.

Islamabad: A high-powered 17-member German trade delegation visited Islamabad
Chamber of Commerce & Industry for B2B meeting. This was the first ever visit of a
German delegation to Pakistan after revisiting the Bilateral Investment Treaty by
both government almost after 50-years.
According to press release issued here on Thursday, the leader of the German
economic delegation Mr.Claus Baron Von Fersen thanked Islamabad Chamber of
Commerce for organizing the meeting of the German delegation with the Pakistani
businessmen and thanked President for giving a clear picture of investment and
trading opportunities in Pakistan.
He said that foreign investors have different perception about Pakistan, whereas in
reality things are quite encouraging to do business with Pakistan. German
businessmen have little bit small or wrong picture but in reality picture is much
bigger and on return a conference will be organized to give true picture to German
companies to take advantage of a big market of Pakistan.
He said that opportunity are much better as compared to the past and now
Germany considers Pakistan one of the booming markets in South Asia and for that
reason the delegation is visiting Pakistan to explore the possibilities of trade and
investment in the areas of mutual interest.
The leader of the delegation said that German business community and
government is contributing a great deal to provide relief to victims of flood. He

informed that business community has so far contributed 8 million dollars for the
flood victims.
Zahid Maqbool, President of Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry in his

welcome address said that Pakistan is a very promising economy and attractive
investment destination and urged German delegation to invest in engineering,
power, horticulture, dairy, construction, infrastructure development and
manufacturing.
He said that Pakistan is in the process of establishing many new industrial zones in
different parts of the country. Already about 650 foreign companies have made
investments in various sectors and said that new zones will offer excellent
opportunities to both local and foreign investors to reap the advantage of 100
percent repatriation of profit earned.
President said that recent flood in Pakistan has caused infrastructure damage at a
massive scale and asked contribution of German investors in developing
infrastructure including road network, railway, bridges and houses.
Germany should facilitate Pakistan in realizing a Free Trade Agreement with EU for
improving its trade and economic ties with Europe and for enhancing exports and
EU should provide non-conditional and easy access to Pakistani exporters to
provide relief because of massive flood that hit Pakistan, said President.
He said that Germany is Pakistan’s one the largest trading partner and is actively
involved in Pakistan’s socio-economic development and expressed the hope that
new Investment Protection Treaty definitely will promote multi-dimensional co-
operation between Pakistan and Germany including economy, defence, education,
vocational education and other sectors.

MoC to sign pact with Australia
Islamabad —Commerce Ministry is to ink a pact with Australia on strengthening
bilateral trade and economic ties, which would serve as a confidence-building
measure (CBM) between the business communities and investment enhancement,
official sources told.
Pakistan-Australia bilateral trade is in favour of Australia with Pakistan’s imports
averaging $350 million against exports of $150 million during last three years. There
is an immense potential for Pakistan to enhance exports to Australia and increase
its share in Australia’s global imports of US $192 billion.
Pakistan and Australia signed a bilateral trade agreement in 1990. Under the
provisions of the Agreement, a Joint Trade Committee (JTC) was created. The JTC
plays an important role in promoting aims and objectives of the agreement. It also
considers proposals for deepening and broadening trade and economic relations
and is headed by senior officials from respective trade ministries of both countries.
The second meeting of JTC was held on February 16, 2010 in Islamabad after a
lapse of four years. In the meeting, various avenues to enhance bilateral trade and
investments were discussed. Both countries recognised the need to update the
existing trade agreement to reflect contemporary priorities. The Australian side
indicated its difficulty in completing the required legal and constitutional formalities
for updating the existing trade agreement.
It was agreed that instead of renegotiating the existing agreement, the two countries
would enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which would provide a
mechanism to discuss, strengthen, and resolve trade and investment issues. The
proposed MoU will be helpful in encouraging Australian investment in Pakistan and
will further cement bilateral trade and investment relations.—Agencies

ISLAMABAD:A ceremony for the launching of Pak China Investment Company was
held at Governor House in Lahore.
The ceremony was presided over by the Governor Punjab, H.E. Lt. Gen. Khalid
Maqbool while Dr. Salman Shah, Federal Minister for Finance, Economic Affairs,
Revenue & Statistics was the Chief Guest. The ceremony was also participated by
Mr. Salman Taseer, Federal Minister for Industries, H.E. Ambassador of People
Republic of China to Pakistan and senior government officials/dignitaries including,
Secretary, Investment Division & BOI, Mr. Mushtaq Malik, Mr. Salman Siddque,
Chief Secretary Punjab, Mr. Chen Jianbo Managing Director/CEO PCICL, Syed
Iqbal Ashraf, Deputy Managing Director PCICL, , and Mr. Guo Yonghong CEO of
China Mobile Pakistan. Private sector also participated in the ceremony.
Mr. Chen apprised the participants about delivery of superior products and services
that would be available to Pakistani and Chinese businessmen with the launching of
Pak - China Investment Company. He appreciated Pakistan’s efforts and support
and highlighted some of the existing Pak-China friendship symbols that exist in the
form Karakorum Highway, Gwadar port, HMC, Heavy Electrical Complex, Saindak
Copper Mining Complex and the two Chasma Nuclear Power plants.
Syed Iqbal Ashraf, Deputy Managing Director PCICL said that Pak China
Investment Company Limited would provide investment banking services with an
objective to provide complete financial solutions to specialized areas including
Power, engineering, telecom, construction and infrastructure projects, mergers &
acquisitions, debt syndications and private equity placements. The initial authorized
capital of the PCICL is Rs. 12.14 billion equivalent to US $ 200 million, making it the
largest joint venture investment company in Pakistan. PCICL has become
operational with an initial paid-up capital of US $ 70 million, to be increased to US $
200 million by 2009.
Mr. Guo Yonghong CEO of China Mobile Pakistan said they have faced competition
in Pakistan which they did not face in China; this is a clear indication of the fact that
Pakistan has an extremely competitive economy to invest in and to make huge
profits. He further elaborated that Pakistan’s intriguing and improving economic
266
Sat
indicators has made it a lucrative destination for foreign investment. With the GDP
growth rate over 7%, liberal investment policy in place and with a sound network of
industrial zones and economic zones, Chinese entrepreneurs must take advantage
of this glowing opportunity and optimize their resources and investment returns by
investing in Pakistan.
Dr. Salman Shah, Federal Minister for Finance described the launching of Pak
China Investment Company as ""one window" between the Pakistani and Chinese
companies. He said that China could become resource base for Pakistani
companies and PCICL would provide momentum to growing trust shared between
the business communities of the two countries in trade and investment matters. He
further pointed out that China is one of the world’s most dynamic economies and is
destined to become biggest economy of the world in near future. He added, that
Pakistan is very lucky to have an extraordinary and strategic relationship with China
in almost every area of business, trade, commerce, politics and economy. He
highlighted strengths of Chinese economy in infrastructure development, agriculture
and agrofood processing and also mentioned that China is a leading player in all
sectors and Pakistan can benefit from China in areas of Textiles, Engineering, Ship
building, real estate and automobiles. China has capital and technology and
ultimately can become one window economy for Pakistan. He said that present
level of bilateral trade between the two countries is over US $ 5 billion and under
the recently signed Free Trade Agreement which has come into effect from July
2007, both the countries have decided to increase this volume of trade to US $ 15
Billion by 2012. While discussing economy of Pakistan he said that Pakistan is
ranked as 6th largest economy in terms of population, having 52% of the total
population under the age of 19 years. This fact also relates to Pakistan being a very
dynamic and diversified economy with relatively large consumer market with
growing middle class. Despite all security concerns and political developments, FDI
in Pakistan from July - Nov 2007 has risen by 16 % to $ 1712.5 million which was $
1480.2 million in the same period last year.
Governor Punjab while congratulating the management of PCICL said that

company marks a great investment opportunity for Chinese and Pakistani business
communities. He said that political relationship is also very important in
strengthening long term ties and over the years, Pakistan and China share an
extremely cordial relationship which is sweeter than honey in true sense. He also
said that President Musharaf has introduced modern diplomacy in our relationships
with China, thus enabling more human to human relationship. Therefore, for
Chinese companies, their decision to come to Pakistan is strategically and
economically very sound and viable. He also assured full support in providing
security to Chinese companies working in the province of Punjab and referred to it
as their prime responsibility. He also requested Pakistan business community to
interact more frequently with Chinese companies and seek investment opportunities
with China, as this is one country that Pakistan can always bank on. He asked
Chinese companies to also look at Faisalabad and explore investment opportunities
there.

Pak-Kuwait JMC to meet soon
Karachi —Pakistan is going to raise the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and other
trade related issues with Kuwait in a bilateral ministerial level meeting to be held
soon in Kuwait. Both the countries are going to hold the third ‘Pak-Kuwait Joint
Ministerial Commission’ (PK JMC) meeting by the end of next month in Kuwait.
The third meeting of the JMC is going to be held after a long break of over seven
years, as the second meeting was held in 2003 in Islamabad. According to sources,
Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) has proposed to the Ministry of
Commerce (MoC) a number of proposals for improving trade with the oil rich
country, where Pakistani products have a good demand.
Islamabad is said to be interested in holding the JMC meeting as early as possible

so that more trade concessions could be sought after the catastrophic floods that
have shaken the country’s economy. TDAP, through a letter, has proposed to MoC
267
Sat
that there should be joint a business forum of the two countries, which should
facilitate chambers of commerce to in exchange of trade delegations.
According to sources the authority was also planning to hold single country
exhibition in Kuwait and Pakistan’s commercial consular in Kuwait was busy in
arrangements for organising the event shortly. It was also proposed that both the
sides while re-energising the PK-JMC should take concrete steps in the light of the
bilateral trade agreements/understandings, to enhance the level of bilateral trade.
Pakistan, which has a share of only over $75 million in the imports of Kuwait, was
searching for more markets for its products in the gulf country as its neighbouring
country India, comparatively, had more shares in Kuwait’s imports. Besides the
economic relations between the two Islamic countries, the number of Pakistani
expatriates in Kuwait has almost doubled over the past five years, with a total of
153,000 who were living and working in the foreign country.
Though Pakistan was exporting rice, textile items, leather etc to Kuwait, Islamabad
is in highly disadvantageous position as far as the trade balance between the two
countries is concerned, due to the huge import of oil. Both the countries had ratified
the bilateral Trade agreement, which was signed on 24 July, 2002 which provides a
framework for promotion and diversification of economic relations between Kuwait
and Pakistan.—Agencies

UK to lobby for trade concession to Pakistan
UK has said that it would lobby with other countries for providing flood assistance
and trade concessions to Pakistan. Foreign Secretary of United Kingdom Mr.
William Hague expressed these views in his meeting with Foreign Minister Shah
Mehmood Qureshi on the sidelines of the 65th Session of the UN General
Assembly in New York.
Foreign Minister thanked the Foreign Secretary for the assistance provided by the
British Government and public for the flood victims of Pakistan. He underlined that
this support was an indication that the bilateral relationship between the two
countries went beyond the government level and needed to be built upon. The
Foreign Minister also appreciated the leading role played by UK in facilitating
discussions within EU for provision of trade concessions, says a press release
received here on Saturday.
On the flood situation in Pakistan, the Foreign Minister informed his British
counterpart that the government was now moving into the early recovery phase in
which priority was being given to agriculture and in particular the upcoming wheat
crop. Simultaneously, the government had initiated the process for damage needs
assessment which was expected to be completed before the upcoming meeting of
the Friends of the Democratic Pakistan in Brussels. The government had also
created the National Oversight Disaster Management Council consisting of
respectable persons to address the issue of transparency.
The British Foreign Secretary assured the Foreign Minister of UK's continued
support in meeting the challenges posed by the recent floods. In this regard, UK
would lobby with other countries for providing flood assistance and trade
concessions to Pakistan. He said that he would attend the October meeting of
FODP in Brussels.

All Day Manufacturing ‘China threat’ -- The Dawn
Mr Selig Harrison, a noted American scholar on South Asia, writing in The New
York Times on August 26 under the caption: ‘China’s Discreet Hold on Pakistan’s
Northern Borderlands’ observes: “A quiet geopolitical crisis is unfolding in the
Himalayan borderlands of northern Pakistan, where Islamabad is handing over de
facto control of the strategic Gilgit-Baltistan region in the northwest corner of
disputed Kashmir to China”.
Claiming that China had deployed 7,000-11,000 troops in the area, he further
observes: “The entire Pakistan-occupied western portion of Kashmir stretching from
Gilgit in the north to Azad (Free) Kashmir in the south is closed to the world, in
contrast to the media access that India permits in the eastern part, where it is
combating a Pakistan-backed insurgency.”
China has called the story “groundless,” saying it was being put out with “ulterior
motives” to hurt Beijing’s ties with New Delhi and Islamabad.
That the Chinese would take over Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan is a ridiculous thought.
But nothing is ridiculous when it comes to a hot propaganda war, particularly where
the Indians are set to create a scare in the western capitals about China. Mr.
Harrison has picked up the Indian script on Gilgit-Baltistan.
So ridiculous were Mr. Harrison’s assertions that Pakistan’s foreign office had to
dismiss them as “figment of imagination”. Its spokesman said, “Given Selig
Harrison’s well-known anti-Pakistan mindset, his gross misrepresentation of facts is
hardly surprising.
Nor is it unexpected of India to create unnecessary hype using Mr. Harrison’s

tendentious article. China, at our request, is helping us in repairing the Karakoram
highway, which has been severely damaged by the recent floods and landslides.”
The hard fact is that China and Pakistan are jointly working on several projects in
Gilgit-Baltistan, including the repair and upgrading of Karakorum Highway, which
will take several years to complete and requires the presence of a large number of
Chinese workers, but far below the numbers Harrison suggests. The road design
requires tunnels to be constructed that he mischievously refers to as possible
missile storage facilities.
Why, one may ask, would Pakistan store its missiles in this difficult mountainous
terrain, far removed from the point of launch and when the area is prone to
frequent, unpredictable and massive landslides and road blockages?
Would such an act not cause indefinite closure of this critical highway to traffic?
Does it make any sense for China to store its warheads in another country in
locations from where their timely and urgent retrieval cannot be guaranteed?
In January this year Karakorum Highway to China was closed in Hunza Valley after
a massive landslide created the Attabad Lake which reached 22 km in length,
displacing thousands and inundating over 20 km of KKH.
When the lake finally flowed over the landslide dam in June, it washed away several
segments of the highway. Mr Harrison presents the road closure to the American
readers as an ominous Sino-Pakistani conspiracy.
Mr Harrison remarkably twists the facts to please Indians. He has done this in the
past and he has done it again. In 2006 Mr Harrison, a Washington based writer who
styles himself as a Balochistan specialist, predicted in his articles in The New York
Times and the French newspaper Le Monde Diplomatique that a successful
insurgency would lead to the creation of a sovereign Greater Balochistan that would
also include the Iranian Balochistan and Sistan province.
Then, he was promoting a Pentagon dream authored by a retired Col. Ralph Peter
in his treatise ‘Blood Borders’.
269
Sun
Some might dismiss these utterances as a misreading of events by Mr Harrison, but

if one looks at the messages he is trying to send about China as an emerging threat
in South Asia and Pakistan’s abetment in Chinese expansionism, there is a method
in his madness.
This propaganda line could have several geopolitical dimensions. It could provide
India the occasion to pick a bone with Pakistan for allowing a purported Chinese
ingress into a region that it claims to be its own. India could raise alarm about this
perceived threat to South Asian security at international forums, to corner Pakistan.
India would expect the US to take another look at its Pakistan and China policy in
the context of South Asia (India is unhappy at President Obama’s suggestion during
his China visit that Beijing could have a role to play in South Asia and might be able
to arbitrate between India and Pakistan). And this could initiate a debate in
Washington about the Chinese threat to western interests in the Gulf region and
actions needed to prevent this.
The autonomy package Pakistan gave to the people of Gilgit-Baltistan has angered
India and drew a strong protest. India looks upon this move as permanent
integration of the region into Pakistan and it will not be surprising if it retaliates in
some form.
Shortly after the elections in this new province and in tandem with Mr Harrison’s
article, which it cites as an evidence of Sino-Pakistani threat to Indian security, India
lost no time in declaring its readiness “to face the Chinese threat”.
Hindustan Times, in a story dated August 29, quotes military sources as saying that
in view of the Chinese having escalated their “aggressive designs” on the country’s
border areas, “the Army has activated its airfields along the Line of Actual Control
and enhanced its military presence and capabilities in the area. The roads to these
airfields have been upgraded.”
In reminding the US about Pakistan’s oft alleged double-game and ignoring the
position Pakistan has taken on these issues, Mr Harrison tries to call into question
the US-Pakistan alliance.
He says, “What is happening in the region matters to Washington. Coupled with its
support for the Taliban, Islamabad’s collusion in facilitating China’s access to the
Gulf makes clear that Pakistan is not a US ally.”
Mr Harrison plays upon western sensitivities about the security of the Persian Gulf
when he tells Washington that “China wants a grip on the region to assure
unfettered road and rail access to the Gulf through Pakistan.”
By alluding that China’s use of Gwadar port will threaten American strategic
interests which, in fact, will be limited to the import of oil and raw materials and
export of finished goods, Mr Harrison is taking a shot at Pakistan’s economic
interests. Gwadar port is planned to be a major revenue earner for Pakistan.
The Indians have always been wary of the development of Gwadar port in which
they see a new Pakistani naval facility taking shape, and they fear this might lead to
Chinese naval presence in the Arabian Sea.
A spanner thrown in the works would be a welcome step from the Indian point of
view. Mr Harrison is all out to oblige them.
All Day Only our fears can encircle us -- The Hindu

Instead of being alarmed at China's growing inroads in the region, India needs to
take a harder look at its own role and find new ways to win neighbours and increase
influence in the region's growth story.
No one would accuse Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of being alarmist. So when,
270
Sun
addressing the Heads of Missions last month, he spoke of paying close attention to
“global powers exercising influence in the Indian Ocean Region,” it was assumed
that the Prime Minister was genuinely concerned about China's growing role in the
region. When he spoke to editors some days later about his concerns on China
again, the assumption was sealed.
India's growing concern rose from two factors — the first, Beijing's sudden decision
to provide Northern GOC General Jaswal with a stapled visa, saying his command
includes a ‘disputed' region; and the other, newspaper reports that the People's
Liberation Army (PLA) had approximately 11,000 soldiers in Gilgit-Baltistan, digging
tunnels and posing a direct threat to India across the LoC.
Diplomats on both sides now say they are ‘sorting out' the visa issue, with Beijing
on the back foot, particularly given that General Jaswal has travelled to China in the
past. Meanwhile, the reported build-up in PoK was aggressively denied by Beijing
and Islamabad, both insisting that the troops are there to help contain flood
damage, and the impending threat of the Hunza dam overflowing, and also to work
on the Karakoram Highway project. India's suspicions that China's army is now
securing its land route to the Arabian sea via PoK have nonetheless grown, given
that China has also wrested control of the Gwadar port back from the Singaporean
Port Authority. The development ties in with the fear of India being choked by a
strategic “String of Pearls” — a U.S. Defence Department term for China's
ambitions for bases in the Indian Ocean Region. With Gwadar in Pakistan,
Hambantota in Sri Lanka, Chittagong in Bangladesh, and the Sittwe port in
Myanmar, it would seem the string is slowly turning into a choke-chain for India.
At one level, the fears of China overrunning Pakistan to open a front with India may
seem far-fetched, even hysterical. At another, it may be a much needed wake-up
call for India to reassess its preparedness to counter an increasingly assertive
Chinese military. At an entirely different level, New Delhi's alarm in the past few
weeks could be most constructive if it ensures that India takes a closer look at its
own role in the region, and why China is making headway with so many of our
neighbours.
Take Sri Lanka that has many reasons to welcome Indian investment. Whether it
has been the tsunami, the war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE),
or the post-war demining and rehabilitation effort, Indian agencies have been at the
forefront to help. And yet, as Sri Lanka recasts itself as the Singapore of the region,
it is China that is its biggest infrastructural investor, bagging many coveted projects
given China's deeper pockets. Much of it is a result of Indian apathy – the
Hambantota port, for example, was offered to India first. New Delhi's lack of interest
in developing this strategically located harbour was easily the gain of China, which
worked double time to complete the project with $60 billion funded from China's
Exim bank, building the port, the city centre, the airport, a stadium, and a massive
convention centre. Many in India worry that Hambantota's future could include a
Chinese naval base too.
While Indian concerns about Hambantota are well known, practically no one speaks
of the port project that India does have, in the northern town of Kankesenthurai
(KKS). Originally, after the tsunami, the project was handed to the Dutch, but after
India showed interest, the Sri Lankan President tore up that contract and invited
India to build the port. Yet 18 months later, this harbour near Jaffna has seen little
by way of construction; even a feasibility survey taken in June 2010 has not yet
been finalised. Meanwhile Hambantota will receive its first ship in November, some
six months ahead of schedule. The contract for the Colombo port has just gone to a
Chinese consortium — no Indian company having even tried to bid for it. Given that
the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC)-Sampur coal 500-MW plant is
already delayed years beyond its 2011 deadline, it is hoped that other projects India
has committed itself to including the northern rail line, the Palaly airport and the
Jaffna stadium will be dealt with more expeditiously.
While many in India would see these projects essentially as aid to a needy
neighbour, it is time to invert the prism and see them, just as we accuse China, as
ways of increasing our footprint and extending our ambitions to a sphere of
271
Sun
influence well beyond our land mass.
In January this year, a historic agreement with Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina seemed to redefine how India would deal with its neighbours. Amongst a
slew of agreements came India's $1-billion credit line — for 14 infrastructural
projects. Even while the agreements were being finalised — Dhaka delivered some
of the most wanted United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) militants. Despite
opposition cries of a sell-out, Sheikh Hasina's India deal won her accolades in
Bangladesh. Yet it took eight months before Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee
flew to Bangladesh to operationalise the credit line, and by the time he reached,
India had decided to change its earlier offer of $1bn at one per cent interest to 1.75
per cent — terms that took many in Dhaka by unpleasant surprise. Also, unless
India relaxes its trade barriers to Bangladeshi goods, it will be accused of exploiting
the transit rights only for its own benefit. It is hoped that Dr. Singh, whose trip to
Dhaka is imminent, will address some of those concerns. Meanwhile China has
moved into the delay gap on projects like the Chittagong port with ease, funding
much of its refurbishment, as also the construction of the second Padma bridge, as
it vigorously pushes MoUs on road links via Myanmar and a rail line connecting
Beijing to Dhaka — as part of a $2.2-billion Chinese package on infrastructure.
A bolder move, but one that would win many hearts is to consider lifting tariff and
non-tarrif barriers and duties unilaterally in the South Asian Association for Regional
Cooperation (SAARC) region altogether. Suspend the reality of our relations with
Pakistan for a moment to think about the impact of ending such protectionism in a
year that has so devastated Pakistan's economy. According to estimates, the
destruction of standing crops on two million hectares has virtually wiped out
Pakistan's staple revenue from export of cotton, rice, and sugar. The country will be
dependent on importing these for the next few years. With 77 million people likely to
go hungry, and Pakistan's projected growth likely to fall by half to about two per
cent, it is only natural that China's interventions in flood relief, rebuilding destroyed
roads, schools and bridges, aid and trade will grow. The question is: will India watch
with its customary alarm but do nothing?
On our other frontiers, it must be said, the government has made some moves —
increasing development aid to Afghanistan to $1.2 billion and discussing a $1-billion
dollar credit line to Myanmar as well. Describing some of these initiatives at Harvard
University this month, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao said: “Today, with
sustained high economic growth rates … India is in a better position to offer a
significant stake to our neighbours in our own prosperity and growth.” It is equally
important to stand that assumption on its head, and consider India's stake in the
prosperity and growth of its neighbours. Whether it's Mauritius or Maldives, Nepal,
Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Afghanistan or yes, Pakistan — these are countries
with close cultural, linguistic, historic ties to India no other country can match. As a
result, it shouldn't be possible for China or any other superpower to encircle a
country like India. The only thing that encircles us is our fear that they will.

China’s delivery of the third F-22P frigate PNS Saif to Pakistan Navy is yet another
burgeoning proof of Pak-China relations and fulfillment of Chinese pledge to
support Pakistan’s defence. In yet another landmark achievement in the expansion
of the unwavering bilateral defence cooperation between Pakistan and China,
Beijing has delivered the third of the four F-22P frigates PNS Saif to the Pakistan
Navy (PN). The newly built warship of the sword class series constructed by
Hudong Zhonghua Shipyard Shanghai was delivered in a colourful and impressive
ceremony. As per the schedule, the PN’s fourth F-22 frigate, being constructed at
the Karachi Shipyard is progressing satisfactorily. This move by the Navy would be
of great help to Pakistan in achieving self-reliance towards defence of its territorial
272

waters.
The F-22P or Zulfiquar (sword) class frigate, an improved version of the Chinese
Type 053H3, is a general purpose frigate being built by China and Pakistan for the
PN. The first ship, PNS Zulfiquar, was handed over to the PN on 30 July 2009 and
the second, PNS Shamsheer, on January 23, 2010. The third, after undergoing sea
trials has just been handed over, while a fourth is under construction. It has been
reported that the F-22P Frigates are equipped with state-of-the-art weapons and
sensors. The ships also carry Z9EC helicopters onboard. Pakistan had been
negotiating with China for the supply of 4 frigates since the late 1990s. The contract
was signed on 4 April 2006 with the conclusion of negotiations for financing and
technology transfer. The first three have been built at the Hudong Zhonghua
Shipyard in Shanghai, China, while the last is under construction in Pakistan by
Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works (KSEW). The $750 million contract also
includes 4-6 Harbin Z-9EC antisubmarine warfare (ASW) helicopters as well as
ammunition for the frigates.
With the addition of these ships, the strength of PN Fleet has increased
considerably with much needed capabilities, while contributing in enhancement of
country’s shipbuilding capabilities. The F-22P hull uses many of the radar cross-
section reduction features of China’s Type 054 frigate to help it evade detection by
radars mounted on other ships, aircraft and anti-ship missiles. The 76.2 mm caliber
main gun is a Chinese development of the Russian AK-176M, the main difference
being that the Chinese variant adopts a re-designed stealthy turret to reduce radar
detection. The gun is designed to engage ships, aircraft and anti-ship missiles. In
front of the main gun are two 6-cell RDC-32 anti-submarine rocket launchers. The
frigate’s primary surface-to-surface missile armament comprises eight C-802
subsonic anti-ship missiles carried in two launchers with four cells each, fitted
between the foremast and the funnel. These containers are also compatible with the
CY series anti-submarine rockets and may be loaded with a combination of anti-
ship and anti-submarine weapons.
The FM-90N surface-to-air missile (SAM) system is fitted between the main deck
and main gun. The launcher has eight cells each containing one missile and is fitted
on a mount that can be elevated and traversed in the direction of the threat. The
FM-90N can engage several targets, including supersonic and sub-sonic sea-
skimming missiles, using different guidance modes simultaneously. The system is
also designed to engage small targets such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). A
close-in weapon system (CIWS), the Type 730B, is mounted on the aircraft hangar.
Comprising two seven-barrel Gatling guns of 30 mm caliber, the F-22P is believed
to be the first ship armed with the Type 730B, which uses off-mount sensors such
as the Type 347G radar and the OFC-3 electro-optic director.
The guns are mounted side-by-side on the aircraft hanger, with the off-mount
sensors in between. The CIWS can be upgraded with the FL-3000N fire-and-forget
missile system by installing up to two single-round FL-3000N launchers on each
existing CIWS gun mount. The Harbin Z-9EC anti-submarine warfare (ASW)
helicopter is equipped with surface-search radar, low frequency dipping sonar,
radar warning receiver, Doppler navigation system and armed with torpedoes. The
helicopter can be armed with one torpedo on the starboard side. A small antenna
on the roof may provide a data-link, allowing the Z-9 to act as a relay for targeting
data between the ship and long range anti-ship missiles such as the C-802. The
beauty of China’s support to Pakistan is that it is willing to provide transfer of
technology, help develop the infrastructure for indigenization and soft loans to
support the project with no strings attached. Other nations are either just not willing
to share technology. Even if they agree to provide transfer of technology, it is at
exorbitant costs and may have strings attached. Some nations insist that Pakistani
technology is too backward, lacks the skill and wherewithal and is unfit for
accepting hi-tech expertise. China has proved over the ages that it considers
Pakistan capable and worthy of keeping pace with the latest developments and
making strides towards indigenization. The delivery of the F-22 frigates to PN is
burgeoning evidence of the long lasting ties between Pakistan and China. In this
period of global economic meltdown, China not only has a stable economy but it
holds roughly $1.5 trillion in US assets, at least 65 percent of China’s total foreign
273

assets, and it is the second biggest foreign holder of US debt after Japan.
Pak-China joint ventures to produce JF-17 Thunder fighter aircraft, K-8 Trainer
aircraft, Al-Khalid Tank, F-22 Naval Frigates have given a new dimension to Pak-
China cooperation in the field of defense. Heavy Rebuild Factory (HRF) at Taxila,
Pakistan Aeronautical Complex at Kamra was also established with Chinese
assistance. The Karakoram Highway, the strategic port of Gawadar and nuclear
energy reactors are a manifestation of China’s sustained interest in Pakistan, which
make it imperative for us to reach out to our Chinese friends for our common
endeavours for building a better future for our peoples and overcome the
challenges to both nations and strive for prosperity. In these trying times it is
imperative that we recognize our true friends and hold on to them steadfastly.

UK-Aid provides 130,000 life saving items to flood-hit people in Pakistan
'Pakistan Times' Federal Bureau
ISLAMABAD: Emergency production lines in factories in Karachi and Lahore -

funded by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) - have
produced more than 130,000 urgently needed aid items, including clean water
storage containers and hygiene kits.
The factories have produced thousands of items every day for the last two weeks.
The items are being distributed this week directly to critically affected people in
Sindh and the Punjab, and will help fight the spread of disease.
A press communiqué issued by the British High Commission [BHC] said in

Islamabad on Thursday that in total, the factories have produced:
· 41,000 Hygiene Kits;
· 56,600 jerry cans;
· 38,800 clean water storage containers.
In Karachi on Thursday, George Turkington, Head of UK’s Department for

International Development Pakistan, said: “Unless people can store clean drinking
water and access basic sanitation there is a real threat of a public health disaster.
That’s why we took this resourceful approach and set up these emergency
production lines in Karachi and Lahore to provide huge quantities of urgently
needed items, in the shortest possible time. The UK will continue to stand by
Pakistan, both at this critical life-saving time, and in the longer haul as we start to
rebuild people’s lives and communities.”
The factories are H. Nizam Din & Sons (Pvt) Ltd in Karachi and H. Sheikh Noor-Ud-
Din & Sons (Pvt) Ltd in Lahore.
Ali Ahmed, director of H. Nizam Din & Sons (Pvt) Ltd, said: “We are very pleased
that we have been sourced for this production line to help affected flood victims and
support DFID in their humanitarian work in Pakistan.”
On Sunday 19 September, UK Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell

announcement a further £70 million (nearly 9.5 billion rupees), from the UK
Government to help people start rebuilding their lives, including re-starting
agriculture, and getting children back to school, as well as further lifesaving aid for
the south of Pakistan where the situation remains critical.
The UK Government has now committed a total of £134 million (nearly 18 billion
rupees), while the UK public has generously donated a further £56m (approx 7.5
billion rupees) from their own pockets through the Disasters Emergency Committee
(DEC) appeal.

The UK was one of the first countries to respond to this crisis. UK aid is already
providing immediate lifesaving aid including funding towards UN airlifts; twelve
planes funded by DFID packed full of vital aid; emergency shelter, safe drinking
water, and latrines for millions of people; one month food packages for nearly one
million people; an emergency field camp in the worst affected area near Sukkur;
help for half a million malnourished children and pregnant/breastfeeding women;
emergency health care; bridges shipped from the UK, and more.
The Department for International Development (DFID) is the UK’s Government

department responsible for promoting sustainable development and reducing
poverty. The central focus of DFID is a commitment to the internationally agreed
Millennium Development Goals to be achieved by 2015.

KATHMANDU: Nepal and Pakistan are planning to ink Free Trade Agreement
(FTA) during the meeting of Joint Economic Commission (JEC) scheduled for
October. A high-level bilateral task force is set to be finalised that will discuss the
matter in the JEC meeting.
“Government is setting up a team of delegation that will head for the JEC meeting,”
said Surya Prasad Silwal, Joint Secretary at the Ministry of Commerce and Supplies
(MoCS).
JEC meeting is scheduled for October 19-20, this year in Islamabad. “The meeting
will discuss all the economic aspects of the two countries,” Silwal said, adding that
the Finance Ministry is also preparing for the JEC meeting. The plan has been put
on a fast-track basis after a
brief visit of Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to Nepal while on his way to Bhutan
to attend the SAARC meet in Thimphu in April.
Even though, both Nepal and Pakistan are signatories to the South Asia Free Trade
Agreement (SAFTA) and members of the South Asian Economic Union, the
bilateral trade between the two countries remains negligible.
Pakistan’s total export to Nepal is worth $1.63 million whereas exports from Nepal
to Pakistan have touched $3.16 million.
Nepal will be the second country in South Asia to enter into a free trade
arrangement with Pakistan after Sri Lanka that inked a FTA deal with Islamabad
some years ago.

All Day Pact on pvt role in TAPI pipeline -- APP
NEW DELHI: Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India have agreed to rope in
a global energy major to execute and manage a $7.6-billion natural gas pipeline
running their land, brightening the prospect of a steady flow of gas from central Asia
to energy-hungry South Asia.
The decision was taken after Afghanistan assured to secure the pipeline through
the Taliban heartland and Pakistan in-principle agreed to do so in its territory, two
senior officials with direct knowledge of the matter said.
The private partner will be inducted through an international bidding by the four
countries, jointly referred to as TAPI.
“TAPI nations have agreed that in the case of a single bid, the (single) bidder will be
awarded the project,” an official said.
The pipeline will start from the Dauletabad gas field in southeast Turkmenistan and
after 145 km stretch in the country enter Afghanistan. After traversing 735 km in
Afghanistan and 800 km in Pakistan, the pipeline will cross into India. The 1,680 km
pipeline will have a capacity to transport 90 mmscmd (million standard cubic metres
a day) gas. Asian Development Bank (ADB), the development partner of the TAPI
project, had estimated its cost at $3.3 billion about 10 years ago.
The decision to induct a private partner was taken at the TAPI steering committee
meeting of energy ministers of the four nations on September 20 at Ashgabat,
Turkmenistan’s capital.
American and Russian energy companies are interested to invest in the project, the
officials said. Induction of an energy giant in the consortium is expected to expedite
the project and help minimise transportation risks through volatile Afghan and
Pakistan regions.
Minister of state for petroleum & natural gas Jitin Prasada, who represented India in
the meeting, confirmed the development but declined to comment on specific
details.
“The pipeline is significant for India’s energy security but its success will depend on
keeping minimum transit fee and setting up institutional mechanism to address
security issues. We are working towards that,” Mr Prasada told ET after his visit to
Ashgabat.
Pakistan will present an institutional framework for securing the pipeline in its
territory at the 7th technical working group meeting, the officials said. The meeting
date is not yet fixed, they said.
The Afghanistan government has already guaranteed the security of the pipeline by
burying it underground and paying local communities to guard it.
Turkmenistan wants to sign the deal by December this year at a proposed head of
states meeting and aims to complete the pipeline by 2014, the officials said. Gas
accounts for 57% of Turkmenistan’s total exports followed by oil (26%), the reason
it wants the pipeline to start quickly.
At the meeting Turkmenistan offered confirmed 90 mmscmd gas supply to the three
nations from its Osman-Yolten reserve, certified to have between 4.25 trillion cubic
meters (tcm) and 13 tcm gas.
Gaffney Cline and Associates (GCA), a British audit firm, in its audit report of
October 2008 puts proven reserves of natural gas in Turkmenistan at more than 7
tcm.
The possible gas reserves could be as high as 24.6 tcm.

India is expected to get about 38 mmscmd gas, the same as Pakistan. Balance gas
will go to Afghanistan.

PM directs restructuring of Pakistan Railways on modern lines
ISLAMABAD, Sept 27 (APP): Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani on Monday
directed the Ministry of Railways to restructure Railways on modern and
commercial lines to make it a viable financial entity.He said the root cause of
operational inefficiency could be addressed by dualization as well as improvement
of the railway track, enhancement of goods transportation and improvement in
passengers service.
Chairing a high-level meeting to review progress of the implementation of Cabinet

decision on restructuring of Pakistan Railways here at the ministry, the Prime
Minister called for changing mindset of the officials to enhance operation efficiency
through good governance and to make it a profit earning entity.
He asked the Minister of Railways and the Finance Minister to work out a long term
approach to improve operation efficiency and financial viability.
The Prime Minster, in his opening remarks, observed that in the 21st century,
Pakistan needs a cheap, efficient, reliable and secure mode of communication for
millions of passengers and movement of goods.
He urged the Pakistan Railways to reclaim its old glory to become a preferred mean
of travelling for the common man. To achieve this goal, he added, the Pakistan
Railways must under-go a total transformation.
He said the Railways needs modern, faster, safer and reliable, infrastructure and
278

rolling stock. Being a public service utility, it should adopt service delivery and
customer satisfaction as its guiding motto.
The Prime Minister said the Ministry of Railways is one of the most important
ministries of the Federal Government and Pakistan Railways is a historical asset as
well as a strategic entity which played an important role in socio-economic
development of the country, he added.
He observed that it provided the much needed communication lines for
transportation of people and goods across the country.
The Prime Minister said Pakistan Railway was once the cheapest and the most
reliable mode of transport but today it is a liability rather than an asset.
He said the government could not afford to throw good money after the bad money
as it is facing serious financial management challenges like rehabilitation and
reconstruction of flood affected areas and security related expenditures.
He assured that the government would, however, like to do as much as it can to
revive Pakistan Railways yet the latter should first put up a genuinely self-help effort
and display performance improvement to qualify for financial assistance from the
government.
The Prime Minister said last year the Federal Cabinet set up the Cabinet Committee
on Restructuring of State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) to ensure good governance
and reduce their losses and Pakistan Railways was one of the SOEs selected for
the first phase of restructuring. “Much time has passed and I have yet to see
tangible results on ground,” he said.
The Prime Minister urged the Cabinet Committee on Restructuring to finalize the re-
structuring proposals and place them before the Cabinet at the earliest.
He instructed that the re-structuring proposals should have a clear and doable road-
map with time-lines and measurable targets and performance benchmarks.
He directed the ministry that in the meanwhile, the Pakistan Railways should put its
house in order and begin work on improving management and bringing operational
efficiency by utilizing the resources available in the organization.
He said the Pakistan Railways must focus on reducing operating costs while
introducing innovation to increase internal earnings. At the same time, he added, it
must also focus on better management and utilization of non-core assets to fund
operational capacities.
The Prime Minister said safety and security should receive the priority it deserves.
He pointed out that there are hundreds of un-manned railway crossings across the
country which is a permanent public hazard. He regretted that many precious lives
had been lost in the past including those of innocent school children. He directed
the Pakistan Railways to take immediate steps for putting up gates at the un-
manned railway crossings.
Federal Minister for Railways Haji Ghulam Ahmed Bilour apprised the Prime
Minister of the steps taken to implement the Cabinet decisions. He also mentioned
that due to shortage of locomotives, the Pakistan Railways is facing serious
problems and difficulties.
Finance Minister Dr. Abdul Hafeez Shaikh, Minister of State for Railways Afzal
Sindhu and the concerned senior officials attended the meeting.
All Day Review port deal with PSA: Pakistan's navy chief -- The Business Times
Review port deal with PSA: Pakistan's navy chief
Pakistan may give Gwadar port contract to China
(ISLAMABAD) Pakistan should review a deal with the Port of Singapore Authority
(PSA) to run a strategic shipping port, said Pakistan's navy chief, amid speculation
that the contract may go to key ally China.
Pakistan is keen to become a conduit for trade to landlocked Afghanistan and

Central Asia and now has three major ports - Gwadar in Baluchistan province and
two at Karachi, 450km to the east.
Admiral Noman Bashir, also government adviser for maritime development, was
quoted by Pakistan media calling for a review of the contract to run Gwadar with
279
Mon
Singapore's PSA International Ltd because the port was not operating to
expectations.
'I'm saying this with great concern that the purpose for which the Gwadar port was
built is not being achieved,' Mr Bashir told reporters in a news briefing shown on
television on Friday.
'We have given them a lot of concessions and no commitment was taken from them
in return. That's why this agreement should be reviewed.'
PSA, which runs ports around the world and is owned by Temasek Holdings,
declined to comment.
Conceived over a decade ago, Pakistan hoped Gwadar, 70km east of the Iranian
border and on the doorstep of Gulf shipping lanes, would handle transshipment
traffic for the Gulf.
Mr Bashir's comments came on the heels of a media report last week saying the
project may be given to China, which provided 80 per cent of its initial US$248
million development costs.
China is already involved in engineering, mining, nuclear energy and construction

projects in the country, and has invested in Pakistan's transport and mobile
communication sectors.
'The expectation was that (PSA) would bring in trade, but it has not done so and
turned the whole port - built with Pakistani and Chinese investments - into a white
elephant,' said Rasul Bakhsh Rais, professor of political science at the Lahore
University of Management Science.
He said the admiral's statements and earlier media reports were 'preparing the
ground' for cancelling the deal and awarding operation of the port to China.
'I think it would be a wiser decision to cancel this agreement and tie up with the
Chinese, who are interested in trade corridors and in gas and oil pipelines in the
region.'
If under Chinese control, Gwadar would give Beijing more economic sway in the
region and upset Pakistan's traditional enemy, India, which views China's ties with
Islamabad with suspicion.

port in February 2007 for 40 years. -- Reuters

Chinese firm bags deal to link Pak, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan by rail
The proposed 700 kilometers line will run right through the hotly contested Taliban
areas while connecting the in northern with Kabul and the two neighboring
countries.
India has been eager to help Afghanistan build its railway system as part of the
reconstruction efforts. But it has apparently been checkmated by China because of
its influence as an investor in the local copper mines and Pakistan's aggressive
support for the Chinese firm, sources said.
"This northern railway is part of a wider plan to extend the Afghan rail network to
connect Afghanistan to ports in Iran and Pakistan," Wahidullah. Shahrani,
Afghanistan's minister of mines. The rail link was essential for the transportation of
iron ore and copper, he said.
The China Metallurgical Group Corporation, which has been involved in the
development of Aynak copper mines, has been entrusted the task of carrying out
feasibility studies, and work out the construction program.
MCC has estimated that the line will cost $5 billion and take five years to be
completed, and half of the time would be spent on the feasibility study. It is obvious
that the long two and half years kept aside for feasibility study is actually the waiting
period required to ensure that the Taliban areas are peaceful enough to begin
construction work.
The agreement with Afghan government specifies that MCC will lay the line under a
build own, operate and transfer concession after the local government approves the
feasibility study. MCC president Zou Jianhui recently said that the security factor
was something his company was watching closely because it would put its
investment to grave risks.

Posted on 29 September 2010
Truck Carvan of ECO states to hit the road tomorrow Enforcement of transit
transport framework agreement Muhammd Arshad
Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) member countries have finally decided

to enforce much awaited Transit Transport Framework Agreement (TTFA) by
launching a Truck Carvan, which will start from Pakistan on Thursday. It will move
across the region and terminate at Istanbul, Turkey after passing through Iran,
Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan.
A symbolic send off ceremony will be held in Islamabad today (Wednesday) to be

attended by dignitaries and businessmen. Being initiative of Pakistan, it was
decided that the Caravan will be launched from Pakistan and the Trucks of all
Member States (One from each) including Pakistan will assemble in Quetta.
Truck Caravan is being jointly organized by ECO Secretariat in Tehran and

International Road Transport Union (IRU), the sources informed.
The TTFA, to provide access to land-locked countries, was signed among the 10
member states more than a decade ago for road, rail and inland water
transportation in a bid to boost trade and social activities in the ECO region.
Pakistan being the pioneer member of the ECO is a strong advocate for promoting
transit and transport links among the ECO member countries specifically for the
landlocked Central Asian States and Afghanistan.
281
Thu
The TTFA lays down a comprehensive roadmap for establishing functional transit
links across the region, will provide a way forward for linking the five Central Asian
States namely Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan
through road with the Ports of Pakistan and surely contribute to streamlining the
transport operations and services. The TTFA will boost trade activities coupled with
social links in the region as the member countries have already enhanced regional
cooperation in areas such as trade, industry, transport & communications, energy
and information technology.
The need for cooperation among the ECO member countries is also reinforced by
the common challenges faced by them. These challenges include poverty,
degradation of environment, food scarcity, threat of terrorism and extremism,
narcotics trade, threat of epidemic diseases and the impact of global financial crisis.
Over the years Pakistan has made steady progress towards improving potential
trade and transit links through up-gradation of national transport infrastructure and
establishment of functional region-wide transit corridors. This up-gradation has
provided a viable option to the Central Asian Republics for transit links.
Considering the importance of sea port access to the landlocked countries and the
fact that these road connections would provide shorter route to these States,
Pakistan has planned to develop a new National Trade Corridor (NTC) linking
upcountry in North with Ports in southern cities of Karachi and Gwadar in order to
reduce travel time and operating costs.
Transit transport will enhance social links among the ECO countries as well as they
have interacted over the centuries through the fabled Silk Route. The route
facilitated not just traders and invaders but also philosophers, saints, thinkers and
artisans. This interaction was intense and spread over millennia. As a result, today,
the people of the region share cultural, linguistic, ethnic and spiritual commonalities.
These commonalities are even more pronounced in case of Pakistan. Our cultural
traditions, language, cuisine, and even religious undercurrents have predominantly
Central Asian roots. The historic cross currents of ideas, civilization and culture
among the ECO countries had been innately strong.
Under the colonial rules of British in South Asia and some seventy years of Soviet
control of Central Asia the interaction among the countries in the region was
assiduously curtailed but remained intact symbolically by travel, trade, migration
and even conquest. The Silk Route, both physically and in terms of ideas, put down
idle but the inherent regional similarities could not be eliminated as the effects of
shared millennia of history could not be reversed by the antics of the Great Game.
Scope and potential exist in the region offer inter-regional economic and political
activity for the nations in the area. The population of Central Asian States (CARs) is
only 65 million but they are extremely rich in energy resources and other raw
materials, such as gold, uranium, iron and non-ferrous metals.
Central Asia has 150 billion barrels of crude oil and 1234 trillion cubic feet of natural
gas reserves and Pakistan affords a ready market for these resources.
Over the years Pakistan has made steady progress towards improving potential
trade and transit links through up-gradation of national transport infrastructure and
establishment of functional region-wide transit corridors. This up-gradation has
provided a viable option to the Central Asian Republics for transit links.
Gawadar seaport is a significant project in this regard. Future trade patterns

envision substantial cargo from CARs and Afghanistan. Gawadar’s role in oil
transportation across the regions is also envisaged.
Karakoram Highway (KKH), built with the assistance of our great friend China,
affords access to Central Asia through China. A Quadrilateral Agreement for Traffic
in Transit brings together Pakistan, China, Kyrgyz Republic and Kazakhstan
through KKH.
282
Thu
Pakistan is also pursuing import of hydroelectricity and natural gas from Central
Asia. We have credible international backing for the two projects. World Bank and
ADBP are the lead institutional support for import of energy from Central Asia.
The ECO member states, which include Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan,
Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan have
declared their intention to make improvements in the regional transportation and
communications infrastructure by signing TTFA. It is good effort to boost trade and
commerce activities but there are many hurdles to enforce the TTFA in letter and
spirit.
An inadequate regional transport infrastructure has always been the major obstacle
to implement the TTFA as links among the members are poor, and even existing
networks are in disrepair. For example, as much as 60 percent of the road and
bridge system in war-ravaged Afghanistan is in need of replacement. Many
observers say ECO is unlikely to thrive until a comprehensive infrastructure is in
place.
ECO’s vision for the development of transport and communications networks was
first outlined in Ashgabat Declaration of 1997, which called for the formation of a
permanent commission to oversee infrastructure improvements. The document
called for the creation of a network of roads, railways and ports that would make
ECO goods easily exportable via shipping hubs in Iran, Pakistan and Turkey.
Subsequently, ECO established a program of action that began in 1998 and runs
through 2007. The program outlines 12 objectives to stimulate trade and facilitate
the movement of goods from landlocked regions to existing ports include the
construction of a Trans-Asian railway; development of better border customs
facilities; the establishment of a common postal area; the development of a Transit
Transport Framework Agreement; the creation of an information mechanism to
manage inter-state commerce; and the development of an inter-state fiber-optic
telecommunications system. Other points in the programme call for the publication
of studies, along with the convening of regular inter-governmental meetings, aimed
at stimulating trade.
In the area of railway development, some progress has been achieved. For
example, the Tejen-Seraks-Mashad railway linking Iran and Turkmenistan,
inaugurated in 1996, increases the access of Central Asian states to the ports of the
Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea, as well as to Turkish ports on the Black Sea and the
Mediterranean.
However, other aspects of railway development appear stalled. Under a plan

The trilateral meetings with the two Asian countries were supported by the
government of the United States and ran Tuesday and Wednesday.
Food security, water management and advanced irrigation technologies, as well as

the establishment of trade corridors for agricultural products, were the main areas
of discussions. Participants set up priorities and drafted an action plan to help
Afghan and Pakistani farmers improve productivity and trade relations.
“The main purpose of such an initiative is to bring peace to the region,” Malik
Zahoor Ahmad, the chief coordinator of the trilateral secretariat for Pakistan, said
Wednesday, adding that promoting food security would lower poverty rates and
illiteracy.
Projects to get Afghan farmers out of opium business
Afghanistan continues to be the world’s biggest producer of opium in 2010,

according to United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, or UNODC, statistics.
Preventing opium production and distribution is one of the main challenges

Afghanistan and other countries in the region have to face, said Vetter.
“We have to provide [Afghan] farmers with other real alternatives,” she said, adding
that they would earn larger incomes by cultivating high-value agricultural products
such as fruit and nut trees.
She also said helping such agricultural products reach both domestic and foreign
markets was crucial.
Abdul Ghani Ghuriani, the Afghanistan deputy minister of agriculture, said the
country’s government was working hard to address the opium production, which he
said was more intensive in the southern part of the country.
“As this is a cross-cutting issue, we have developed cross-cutting strategies to

tackle it,” Ghuriani said, adding that the Ministry of Agriculture was trying to
encourage farmers to produce legal agricultural goods by providing them capital
and giving other policy incentives.

Thu
At the same time, he said other ministries were working to monitor the situation and
stop and destroy poppy production and distribution.
Real action to be taken through projects
Afghan experts suggested establishing an irrigation institute to train and qualify

agriculture academics and experts in both Afghanistan and Pakistan, thus
encouraging cooperation as well as exchange of expertise and ideas.
Another project suggested by the working groups was founding a trans-border

surveillance system in order to monitor animals shipped across the border. Foot
and mouth disease, which is common in cattle and goats, is widespread in the
region.
Vetter said the U.S. would work on small-scale and easily replicable and
sustainable projects which would have long-lasting effects on the agricultural
sectors in both countries.

Accord signed with US for $831m under Kerry-Lugar Act
* US ambassador says funds being used in transparent manner
* Money to fund key sectors, including democracy and governance
By Ijaz Kakakhel
ISLAMABAD: The United States and Pakistan on Thursday signed five agreements
for the grant of $831 million under the Enhanced Partnership with Pakistan Act,
popularly known as Kerry-Lugar Act.
US Ambassador Robin Raphel and Economic Affairs Division Secretary Sibtain

Fazal Halim inked the agreement. Speaking at the signing ceremony, Raphel said
the US was working closely with the government of Pakistan and non-government
organisations, and that the US funds were being utilised in a transparent manner.
Giving details of the agreement, the ambassador said that it was an important
element in the implementation of the Kerry-Lugar Bill. It would make available the
first tranche of $831 million from over $1 billion in development assistance funds
that the US will provide to the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
Raphel revealed that USAID had already provided $224 million from the Kerry-
Lugar funds to priority projects in Pakistan.
“We will implement our assistance in the most open, transparent and accountable
manner, so the people of Pakistan and of the US know where the money is going,”
Raphel said, adding that the US government was in contact with the Pakistan
government for long-term strategic dialogues, which included talks on financial
assistance. The American government had also contributed $340 million to the
flood-relief efforts, she added. Answering a question about transparent use of the
money, Raphel said the US had a number of monitoring mechanisms for this
purpose. “We thoroughly assess the situation and make decision weather to extend
our funds to an entity or government of Pakistan,” she said, adding if the US
government realised that the assistance was being misused, it could stop further
funding. The ambassador said that there was no need to evaluate the performance
of projects in Pakistan through third party evaluation.
The funds will be used for programmes in key sectors. The breakdown of allocation
for various sectors is as follows: $99 million for democracy and governance, $131
million for health, $179 million for education, $144 million for creation of economic
opportunities, $56.5 million for agriculture, $45 million for energy. $111 million and
$66 million will be spent on stabilisation and human assistance in FATA and Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa, respectively. Halim defended the country’s financial and auditing
system and claimed that the US government trusted them.

PM to inaugurate Rs 12 billion Diamer Bhasha Dam soon: Ashraf
* Water and Power minister says India violating Indus Waters Treaty
* 1750MW added to national grid, 1,000MW more in six months
By Zeeshan Javaid
ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Water and Power Raja Pervaiz Ashraf on
Thursday informed the National Assembly that Prime Minster Yousaf Raza Gilani
would soon inaugurate the Diamer Bhasha Dam project that was being constructed
at a cost of Rs 12 billion.
Ashraf informed the House that land been acquired for the dam. He said the
government wanted to build new dams with province’s assent, while it was working
on the construction of small and medium-sized dams. Accusing India of violating the
Indus Waters Treaty from August 18, 2008 to August 25, 2008, the minister said
that water inflow at the Marala Headworks on Chenab River had reduced, resulting
in the desertification of over 200,000 acres of cultivable land.
Ashraf said India could not construct a dam or any other structure that hindered
water flow in rivers entering Pakistan, without taking it into confidence. Responding
to a question, he said that Neelum-Jehlum Hydropower project, which would
generate 969MW of electricity, would be completed within a year.
The minister informed the House that restructuring of the power sector had
improved electricity supply and there was no load-shedding in industrial sector
presently. “Load-shedding has substantially decreased, 1,750MW electricity has
288
Fri
been added to the national grid and 1,000MW more will be added within next four to
six months,” he said. There is a gap between demand and supply of electric power
and the government is making all out efforts to bridge it, he added.
Ashraf said that all the power companies affiliated with the Pakistan Electric Power
Company would be privatised. He added that they would work independently and
would be responsible for their profit and loss. Pointing to kunda system that is used
to steal electricity, he said all provincial governments and the federal government
were taking steps to stop electricity theft, and stern action against would be taken
against those involved in it.
The minister said that raising of Main Dam, Sukian Dyke, Jari dam and emergency
spillways was almost complete. On the Mangla Dam Raising Project, he said that
development of new towns for the people affected by the raising was underway and
Rs 4.8 billion were needed to complete the work. The minister said Water and
Power Development Authority had transferred about Rs 48 billion to the Azad
Kashmir government to compensate the affected families.
Ashraf said that the power tariff was based on fuel prices in the international
market, and with any upward shift in oil price necessitates increase in domestic
electricity prices. He, however, stressed that the government did not want to burden
the lifeline consumers with price hikes. Ashraf vowed action against those involved
in inflated billing. Admitting line losses, he said that updating the system would cost
billions of dollars. He said that the government was still providing a subsidy of Rs 20
billion to the power sector.
Separately, Minister for Labour and Manpower Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah
informed the House that the country was exporting over 4 million skilled and
unskilled workers to various countries. He said MoUs had been signed with six
Middle Eastern countries in this regard.
Adviser to Prime Minister Nawabzada Ghazanfar Gul informed the House that LPG
prices had witnessed a surge of Rs 7 owing to the floods. He said the situation was
returning to normal and a decrease of Rs 3 has been witnessed. He hoped that
prices would return to old rates.

All Day Afghan trucks allowed up to Wagah -- Indo-Asian News Service
Pakistan has granted permission to Afghan trucks to carry export goods to the
Wagah border for onward dispatch to India, a minister said. The federal government
Wednesday approved a revised Afghanistan-Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement that
allows Afghan trucks up to the Wagah border. Under the old agreement, the Afghan
trucks were permitted to carry goods only to the Pakistan-Afghanistan border at
Torkham.
Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira said that that the new agreement was an
improved form of the treaty signed by the two countries in 1965.
Dawn reported that Pakistan and Afghanistan had finalised the new agreement July
19 this year but the move sparked a public outburst. Critics said it was done under
US pressure for the benefit of India.
Now, in the new agreement, Afghan trucks will be allowed to carry goods to the
Wagah border, but they will not be allowed to carry Indian goods to Afghanistan. In
return, Pakistani trucks will be allowed to go through Afghanistan to central Asia,
Iran and Turkey.

Cabinet approves Pak-Afghan transit trade agreement
ISLAMABAD: The federal cabinet on Wednesday approved the Pakistan-

Afghanistan Transit Trade Agreement according to which Afghan trucks would only
be allowed access up to Wagha border and they would carry only Pakistani export
goods back to their country.
“The trade between Afghanistan and India is already taking place under the 1965
agreement and since 1980, Afghanistan is exporting through the Wagha border
between Pakistan and India,” said Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira while
briefing newsmen after the cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza
Gilani.
The agreement was signed between Commerce Minister Makhdoom Amin Fahim
and his Afghan counterpart Dr Anwar-ul-Haq Ahady in the presence of Prime
Minister Gilani and US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton on July 18 this year. The
opposition had expressed reservations on the agreement, saying it would give India
access to Afghanistan via Pakistan.
Kaira said since 1980, the Afghan trucks were allowed up to the Torkham border
but under the new agreement they would be allowed access up to Wagha. “In
return, Pakistani trucks would be allowed to go through Afghanistan to the Central
Asian Republics and Iran,” he said.
“The new agreement approved by the cabinet does not allow export of Indian goods
to Afghanistan through the Wagha border,” he added. He said the prime minister
had directed the Federal Bureau of Revenue and the commerce ministry to work to
curtail the menace of smuggling. It has also been agreed in the agreement that
financial guarantees equal to the amount of import levies of Pakistan have to be
deposited by authorised brokers/customs clearing agents to check unauthorised
trade and these deposits will be released after the goods exit the country.
In case, the goods do not exit the country within the specified time, the guarantees
will be confiscated by the customs authorities. He said the cabinet also approved
that the Pakistan Housing Authority will now be an autonomous body and would
work more efficiently with the private sector to provide accommodation to the
government officials and other people on a priority basis.
When asked about reports in the Western media which claimed that Chief of Army
Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani had given a list of tainted ministers to the
government seeking their removal and why there was no clarification from the ISPR
or the federal government about these reports, the information minister replied: “It is
290
Thu
not the job of the COAS to give any list, to tell who should remain in the cabinet. He
is doing his job well. There is no need to clarify this baseless report.”
Asked whether the cabinet discussed the recent statements of former president
Pervez Musharraf, Kaira said, “Leave him, he is irrelevant now.” He said the cabinet
reviewed the implementation status of the cabinet decisions pertaining to the
Narcotics Control Division, Board of Investment and Commerce Division.
He said the cabinet was told that around 85 per cent decisions relating to these
divisions had been implemented while the remaining relating to discussions with
foreign countries and other stakeholders were being pursued. He said the cabinet
reviewed the second phase of rehabilitation of floods victims.
Kaira said floodwater had almost receded from the flood-hit areas of Khyber
Pakthunkhwa and the Punjab while in Sindh, 14 per cent floodwater had receded.
The information minister said so far over 322,000 Watan Cards had been
distributed among the flood-affected people. He said the cabinet approved the
decisions of the ECC meeting and approved a programme being launched by the
French Development Agency, the Asian Development Bank and the Government of
Pakistan at a cost of 980 million dollars. “Under this programme, work would be
initiated to meet energy crisis in the country with more efficiency,” he added. Under
this programme the ADB would provide $780 million, including $65 million for
energy saver bulbs.
The minister said the cabinet also approved an agreement with Egypt regarding
exchange of experts for technical training. The cabinet gave approval to a loan
assistance agreement with Korea under which Korea will provide 180 million dollars
for infrastructure, health, education and renewable energy projects.

Turkmenistan to help Pak generate 1000 MW of electricity
Dr Jassim Taqui
Islamabad—The main thrust of the Turkmen bilateral ties with Pakistan is to

promote trade ties and to accelerate efforts for TAPI gas pipeline ( Turkmenistan-
Afghanistan- Pakistan-India). The capacity of 1400 km pipeline, have of which
would run via Afghanistan, is estimated between 25 to 30 billion cubic meters gas
per year, stated the Turkmen Ambassador Mr. Sapar Berdiniyazov in an exclusive

Pakistan government seek fund for Thar coal
Friday, 08 Oct 2010The government is to seek foreign funding for development of
infrastructure to support early completion of Thar coal project. Official sources told
Business Recorder that the Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company has completed the
detailed feasibility study of the coal mining project, estimated to produce 6.5 million
tonnes per annum of coal from block II of Thar coal fields.
Sources said that the feasibility study proves that the project is technically viable.
However, to ensure its economic viability the infrastructure related to Thar coal
development is of critical importance, which has to match the timelines of the
project. During recent presentations before the president and the prime minister, the
infrastructure development initiatives were discussed in detail and both leaders had
urged all relevant ministries to expedite project approvals on fast track basis.
In terms of Rule 6 and 11 of the Rules of procedure of the Council of Common

Interests prompt action has to be taken by concerned federal and provincial
governments to give effect to the decision of the CCI. According to sources, no
investor can achieve financial close for the project of this level without provision of
robust infrastructure. Provision of infrastructure is the responsibility of the
government. Hence, it requires appropriate commitment on the part of the
government to attract and retain investment for this kind of project.
Thar Coal & Energy Board is actively pursuing the task and is focused on
developing an enabling environment which includes developing physical
infrastructure that can facilitate the mining and power generation. In order to
develop physical infrastructure for development of Thar coal, initial
feasibilities/estimates suggest ensuring local/foreign funding of approximately PKR
148.09 billion. This includes funding of PKR 29.75 billion for water supply, PKR
12.75 billion for effluent disposal, PKR 17 billion for constructing railway network
and PKR 4.24 billion for improvement of road network.
To evacuate 10,000MW from Thar coal based on production projections, laying and
installing transmission network is necessary from Thar that would require an
allocation of at least PKR 85 billion.
Sindh government has urged for preparation of a comprehensive strategy and

roadmap by Economic Affairs Division to explore international financing options. In
this regard, it has been proposed that a core group may be constituted by EAD to
expedite and follow up with international agencies, international banks through
Pakistani Economic Ministers abroad, and other available financing options
including but not limited to Pak-China "Five Year Development Program on Trade
and Economic Cooperation".

LCCI flays APTTA approval
RECORDER REPORT
LAHORE (October 09, 2010) : The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry,
while criticising the approval of Afghan-Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement (APTTA)
termed it against Pakistan's national and economic interests and said it is bound to
increase unemployment, poverty and further slow down the process of
industrialisation in the country.
The agreement that was approved by the federal cabinet would allow Afghan trucks
to fetch goods from Wahga due to which the existing trade volume between
Pakistan and Afghanistan would nose-dive to new lows as India would be catering
to Afghanistan's business needs at more competitive rates in an efficient way, said
LCCI President Shahzad Ali Malik in a statement on Friday.
The Indian manufacturing sector would get a new boost while Pakistan's entire
industrial sector would suffer badly because the Afghanistan's orders would now be
directly landing to the hand of Indian businessmen instead of Pakistan. "There is no
second opinion about it that the ultimate beneficiaries are India and Afghanistan" he
added.
The opportunity provided to Afghanistan to export to India is also likely to be

misused as had been in vogue for the last many years. Because of corrupt
practices, the Afghani goods destined for India are likely to get their way to
Pakistani markets turning the country into a trading hub instead of a manufacturing
place thus hitting the country's economy hard, Malik maintained.
"APTTA is harmful to Pakistan's economy as whole and counterproductive for local

industry as it would be catalysing smuggling. This is not only trade and industry that
would be falling prey to the proposed Agreement but the transport sector would also
get a blow. The Afghani trucks on their way back to Afghanistan would be carrying
Pakistani merchandise to Kabul or other destinations depriving Pakistani
transporters of their business, which they were doing for the last many years, he
added.

Pak Urges Turkey to Facilitate Trade by Upgrading New Rail Link
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari and Premier Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani conveyed
to the visiting Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan that their country
was desirous of upgrading the new rail link between both nations to maximize trade.
The first Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) freight train started its journey
from the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, on August 14 and reached 14 days later in
Istanbul, former capital of Turkey via Tehran.
The 6,500km (4,040 mile) trial service via the Iranian capital, Tehran, is a pilot
project of the regional ECO, and Islamabad expects the link to boost Pakistan's
trade with Turkey and Iran - currently estimated at $1bn - by as much as 50
percent. The ultimate aim of the project is to start a regular passenger train service
between the ECO member states and provide a link to Europe and Central Asia.
While Gilani received Erdogan, he expressed his gratitude for extending a helping
hand to the victims of the recent devastating floods of his country. Turkey provided
funds to the tune of $200mn, out of which around $126mn were donated by the
Turkish business community and ordinary people.
In response, Turkey's prime minister said it was natural for Turkey and Pakistan to
help each other in hard times. He recalled Pakistan had not left Turkey on its own
during its War of Independence and while the country was hit by a massive
earthquake in 1999.

The Pak premier also emphasized that Ankara should encourage its private sector
to collaborate even more closely with Pakistani counterparts in key sectors like

All Day SUPARCO to launch Paksat 1R satellite next year -- Dawn

KARACHI: Pakistan will launch its telecommunication satellite “PakSat 1R” on
August 14, 2011. The satellite will replace the current telecommunication satellite
developed by Hughes System.
This was stated by Secretary SUPARCO, Arshad H Siraj on Monday. Talking to

Dawn.com, Siraj said that the satellite will replace the existing PakSat 1 which will
be inactive and outdated next year. The satellite already has shown signal eclipse
of 88 days in a year. In PakSat 1R, the “R” means replacement.
Paksat 1 and R: the History
Telecommunication satellites are put in orbit 35,700 km above the equator, and on
that particular altitude they move in-sync with Earth, thus completing the rotation in
24 hours and remaining stationary with respect to a particular position on the
ground, which is why they are also called “geostationary satellites”. However, only a
limited number of satellites can be placed in that particular orbit because only one
satellite can be put on each degree. Hence, 360 satellites can be placed in an
imaginary circle above the globe.
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) allocates the satellite place in

geostationary orbit on a first-come-first-serve basis. But after allotment of a position,
a deadline is needed for a party to launch its satellite in a given time and incase of
failure, the allotment is handed over to other nations or parties who were in queue.
According to Secretary SUPARCO, in the 1980s, Pakistan booked eight slots in the
orbit. In mid 90s Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) inked an agreement
with Alcatel for a satellite. But in the mean time, a few telecommunication satellites
launches failed worldwide and other problems halted the launch of the Pakistani
satellite, causing Alcatel to cancel the agreement. Pakistan then also lost its allotted
slots in orbit.
The deadline of the only slot left, 38° East, was April 19, 2003 and after that
Pakistan also lost this space. The Former President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf
asked the authorities to find a solution. A high level committee reported that buying
and replacing a satellite of Hughes is the only option to secure the slot.
298
Thu
So Pakistan bought the Hughes satellite designed for Indonesia and moved it in the
occupied slot in December 2002.
Paksat 1R
A hallmark of Pak-China joint venture, Paksat 1R will be launched on August 14,

2011, the Independence Day of Pakistan, which also happens to be the date for the
50th anniversary of SUPARCO. Working on this project will also give experience
and confidence to Pakistani scientists and engineers. Many of the testing elements
have been developed by experts of SUPARCO.
But the question is that why is Pakistan developing a telecommunication satellite

rather than taking advantage of many commercially available satellites?
Siraj answered that it is not only important for capacity building but for self-reliance
purposes as well in case of an embargo or other hurdles from advance countries as
seen in past.
Siraj said that the Paksat 1R data and signals will be received by satellite ground
stations located in Karachi and Lahore. Paksat 1R will have 26 transponders which
will carry dozens of digital TV channels.

The Pakistan government has awarded a $55 million feasibility study contract to
ILF, of Germany, for the $2.5 billion Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project with the
condition that the consultant ""will complete its job in only 12 months"", against
original plan of 18 months.
The consultant will complete feasibility study on banking proposition to raise funds
for the project, environmental aspect, pipeline route and land acquisition for
procurement of land for the project within stipulated timeframe.
The consultant will complete the feasibility study for the project in two phases and
likewise get the payment from the government of Pakistan. Sources said that

demand and supply and already faced with a delay of around one year, the
government cut down feasibility study time from 18 to 12 months.
Pakistani officials informed the visiting ILF team that all issues with the Iranian
authorities have been settled, including gas sale and purchase agreement (GSPA)
and third-party certification for uninterrupted supply of gas from the source field to
Pakistan for 30 years, and now it was the time to act swiftly and complete the gas
line as early as possible to make practically possible to import the much-needed
gas from Iran.
Pakistan and Iran had taken years to reach an agreement for finalizing thorny
issues of IP such as gas pricing, source field dedication to make sure that Pakistan
gets required gas supply for total project lifetime of 30 years. Other than bilateral
issues with Iran for this key project, Pakistan had resisted pressure from various
international players like U.S.A. to make it possible that Pakistan does not miss the
opportunity to import gas from the nearest external source.
""Now we are comfortable that after continuous effort for years, IP gas line is going
to enter practical phase to help Pakistan get gas from Iran to meet its rising shortfall
in demand and supply,"" an official of Petroleum Ministry said. He confirmed that

REFILE-Tethyan Copper to go on with Pakistan mining-exec
* Says in talks with government over project
* Expects production to start by end of 2015
By Amena Bakr
DUBAI, Oct 25 (Reuters) - A $3 billion foreign joint-venture copper and gold mining
project in Baluchistan province in southwest Pakistan will go ahead as planned
despite plans by the provincial government to cancel it, an executive said on
Monday.
The provincial government said earlier this year it would cancel the project to ease
anger in Pakistan's biggest but poorest province over outsiders' exploitation of its
natural resources.
"The project is going ahead and will not be cancelled, we are now in talks with the
government and we expect production to start by the end of 2015," Gerhard Von
Borries, chief executive of Tethyan Copper Co. Ltd., told Reuters on the sidelines of
an industry event in Dubai.
Tethyan Copper Co. Ltd is a joint venture between Canada's Barrick Gold (ABX.TO:
Quote) and Chile's Antofagasta Plc (ANTO.L: Quote), one of the world's largest
copper miners.
It had been granted exploration licence for Reko Diq site in 2006. The site's ore
reserves, a mixture of minerals including gold and copper, are estimated at more
than 4 billion tonnes.
"The copper deposits are relatively low grade and we estimate the cash cost to be
85 cents per pound," Borries said. "Once production starts we are planning to
double our investment in the project, so we'll add another $3 billion," he added.
The provincial government owns 25 percent of the project, while the remaining is
owned by Tethyan Copper, Borries said.
"Under the current plan the government would need to come up with its own equity,
but we can also finance them with a very low interest rate ... we are also looking at
employing 90 percent of the workforce from the local community."
Baluchistan is Pakistan's biggest province in terms of area but only has an

estimated 10 million to 12 million of the country's 165 million people.
The province is home to one of the largest copper deposits in the world. China's
Metallurgical Construction Co. (MCC) operates the Saindak mine, which has
estimated ore reserves of 412 million tonnes. (Editing by James Jukwey)

Govt investing in ports to boost trade: Gilani
* PM inaugurates FAP Terminal at Port Qasim
* Project completed in 24 months at cost Rs 10 billion
Staff Report
KARACHI: Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani said on Tuesday that the
government was committed to developing the ports and shipping industry in order to
boost trade.
He said this while inaugurating Pakistan’s first state of the art and fully automated
dry bulk cargo handling and storage terminal at Port Qasim.
Appreciating the efforts of Fauji Foundation, Akbar Group and Portia Management
Services (FAP), the PM said that the Pakistan government had taken all possible
measures to assist and encourage the growth of ports and shipping industry as an
important tool for trade promotion and development. “Terminals such as FAP are
the need of the hour to develop Pakistan and our government will continue to assist
with long term investments by providing incentives and reducing financing cost for
port projects. With this port, Pakistan’s position as a gateway to the region is further
strengthened, serving as a boost to our marine and logistics services on various
levels,” the PM said.
“Following examples of various developing countries, the government is always

seeking new avenues to facilitate and encourage foreign investment into the
country through provision of incentives and business friendly policies in the shipping
and ports sector,” the PM said.
Gilani said that the ports were vital to the economic development of Pakistan.
“Efficient ports and terminals lower the cost of imports, bring revenue through
exports, increase our foreign exchange reserves and enhance tax collection
through greater transparency,” he added.
Speaking on the occasion, Minister for Ports and Shipping, Babar Khan Ghauri
said, “The ports and shipping sector in Pakistan had a brilliant run in the last decade
witnessing significant additions in capacity building across Pakistan’s coastline.
This world class addition to the existing facilities of Port Qasim Authority (PQA) will
help Pakistan achieve its goal of becoming a regional hub of international trade.”
FAP Chairman Lt Gen (r) Hamid Nawaz, FAP Vice Chairman Ghouse Akbar and
other senior FAP officials were present at the occasion.
The project has been completed in a record duration of 24 months at the cost Rs 10
billion. The terminal is capable of handling 4.1 million metric tonnes of dry bulk
cargo per annum.

KARACHI: Rental power plants will add 1,700 megawatts of electricity to the
national grid by the end of this year, announced Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani
on Tuesday while visiting the shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi in Clifton. So far
1,704MW have been added.
About 2,000MW have been added to the power-generation system, he said,

warning, however, that demand is also increasing because of population growth.
To a question, he said that law and order was a provincial subject and that the
provincial leadership was chalking out a line of action to deal with the situation. “I
want to clarify here that no operation is being carried out either against any group or
in any specific area,” he added. The federal government would assist if need be.
The PM condemned terrorism and said that only a handful of people were behind
such acts and out to disturb the peace and destabilise the country for their own
agenda.
When a reporter referred to Federal Minister Dr Babar Awan talking to Pakistan

Muslim League-Q’s Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, Gilani said that there was no harm in
having a meeting with the PML-Q leaders; it was part of Benazir Bhutto’s
reconciliation policy. When he was elected there was total unanimity in the House
and the PML-Q’s votes had also made him PM. For this government, the politics of
reconciliation would continue. There are, after all, coalition governments in all the
provinces.
“It is a good omen that we have an alliance with all political parties in the country,”
he said. “Tell me if we don’t have a coalition with any [one] political party.”
To another question, the PM said that the judiciary was playing its role. “We respect
all institutions,” he added. The prime minister said that the government wanted to
establish a federal court in Islamabad but before this the judiciary would be taken
into confidence. “We will not take any step, which leads to a misunderstanding
between the judiciary and government,” he said.
Meeting with Sindhi media
Additionally, the construction of the Kalabagh Dam would not go ahead unless all
provinces agreed to it and it has become a “dead issue”. “If consensus evolves
among all the provinces and the Council of Common Interest gives permission, then
the dam can be built,” he added. But construction of the Bhasha Dam would start
soon as the provinces had agreed.
The PM said this while talking to editors and CEOs of Sindhi newspapers and
television channels at a meeting at Chief Minister House.
The objective of his visit to the city was to directly interact with the Sindhi media.
The prime minister said that he had done media studies which is why he had a
“personal emotional attachment” to the media. Journalism studies have benefitted
him in the field of politics, he added.
Gilani said that the process of transition from a dictatorship toward democracy is
under way in the country and institutions are also passing through a phase of
311
Wed
evolution. We faced different challenges but never deviated from the manifesto of
the party, he said. Some people were talking about the accountability of the
government. “I request them to please give us five years and let the people decide
in the upcoming elections,” he said.
A meeting would be held in Lahore on Wednesday, when Foreign Minister Shah

Mehmood Qureshi would give a briefing about the breakthroughs achieved in his
recent visit to the US.
Gilani said that the economic recession has affected the entire globe but Pakistan
had survived as, fortunately it is an agricultural country. He added that the matter of
Thar coal has also been resolved and the provincial government is working on it.
The Sindhi media informed the PM about their problems and he said that he would
talk to the federal minister for information and broadcasting on meeting them. To a
suggestion about the performance of Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV), Gilani
said that he would also meet the newly appointed MD.
There are 35 Sindhi dailies and 10 to 12 private Sindhi television channels.

* Govt planning to issue legal notice to Amnesty International
Staff Report
LAHORE: The cabinet has decided to approve the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-

Pakistan-India gas pipeline framework agreement because it is vital to cope with the
current energy crisis in the country, federal Information Minister Qamar Zaman
Kaira said on Wednesday.
He said Pakistan would do everything, which is in its favour, as it is an independent
country and would not take any foreign dictation.
He was talking to reporters during a press conference on the cabinet meeting held
on Wednesday under the supervision of the prime minister at the Governor’s
House. To a question about America’s demand for a military operation in North
Waziristan, Kaira stated that the matter, along with the recent Pakistan-US strategic
dialogue, had been discussed in the cabinet meeting and the government had a
clear policy of considering national interest before anything.
Parliament: The minister added that the government would give a briefing to
parliament on the dialogue in its coming session to take it in confidence, as the
Pakistan People’s Party believed in taking all stakeholders on board in the
government’s policy matters, and even arranged a briefing by the chiefs of security
agencies for parliament for the first time in history.
Commenting on the recent meetings between the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid
leaders and PPP leaders, including Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, Kaira said
the PPP always believed in politics of unity and never did politics of division.
Legal notice: He said the Pakistan government had several reservations on the
recent report issued by Amnesty International that ranked Pakistan as the 34th
most corrupt nation in the world. He added that one of the federal ministries was
even planning to issue a legal notice to AI.
He said another non-government organisation, PILDAT, had also issued a similar
report, “but we should not believe such reports when they are against reality”. He
said even the opposition had lodged its protest against the PILDAT report for not
being based on facts.
Kaira said that the government had given freedom to the Public Accounts
Committee, and they tried to fix the issues pointed by the committee and
considered themselves accountable to this parliamentary body. He said that the
government was aware of the ongoing wave of inflation and how it was affecting
basic household commodities such as flour, cooking oil, sugar, pulses, vegetables
etc. He said the media was likely to make fun of him, as had happened in the past,
if he urged the people to stop consuming sugar to keep the rates under control, but
he said sugar was a basic commodity, which would not affect routine life if they
reduced its consumption. He said this would definitely break the cartels of sugar
sellers who even exploited the customers during Ramazan.
The minister said the government was investing in the local agriculture sector and
had increased the prices of various items, including wheat, to encourage farmers
instead of spending Rs 300 billion on procuring these things from abroad, adding
that this had positively affected the rural economy.
He said that the cabinet had also discussed the relief package for farmers affected
by recent floods in the country, along with the decision to approve the Islamabad
Rent Restriction Bill and the decision to renew the defence agreement between
South Africa and Pakistan.
It was the 67th meeting of the cabinet to date and the team not only discussed
current issues, but also implementation on prior decisions. The foreign minister
briefed the cabinet on the recently-concluded third round of strategic dialogue with
the US. The salient features of the briefing included that Pakistan was among five
countries out of the 184 countries in the world with which the US had strategic
dialogue.

MULTAN (October 28, 2010) : The Netherlands wants to promote trade between
Pakistan and the Netherlands and planning to launch a programme through
economic development by providing maximum job opportunities, said Joost
Reinejes, ambassador of the Netherlands in Pakistan.
He was addressing the Executive Committee of Multan Chamber of Commerce and

Industry (MCCI) on Wednesday chairman by its president Shahid Naseem Khokhar.
He said that the Netherlands has offered up to 60 percent of funding to Pakistani
SME projects worth 1.5 million Euros per project. He said that the Netherlands
Private Sector Investment (PSI) programme was launched in Pakistan in 2005 with
an annual budget of 70 million Euros that was aimed at alleviating poverty and
strengthening private sector investment.
The funding, available under 40-60 arrangement, is subject to certain evaluation to

be conducted by the officials of the Netherlands's government. Any Pakistani
company could apply for the funding for any new project or for the value addition of
an existing business project. Under this programme, a project in sportswear has
already been completed while three projects in chemical and dairy sectors are in
progress. Moreover, PSI is considering another three projects under the
programme, he said. The total funding of 1.5 million Euros allows spending on
Hardware (equipment, machinery), training of people and project management, real
estate and operational costs excluded. The funds are released during the project,
after achieving predefined results.
The evaluation criteria include partner expertise, organisational capacity and

financial strength. The projects could be a business plan, operational plan or
financial feasibility. Fulfilment of Corporate Social Responsibility, knowledge
transfer and its spin off effects are few things that are a necessary part of evaluation
criteria. The Netherlands issues three tenders per year in this regard, the official
said.
Holland has also offered matchmaking facility to stimulate private sector in

Pakistan. Speaking on the occasion, the MCCI President Shahid Naseem Khokhar
expressed his concern over volume of trade between the two countries and said the
two-way trade volume could have much bigger provided a little attention was paid
by the concerned departments in the two countries. He stressed the need for
participation in trade fairs and establishment of direct link between various
representatives of organisations like MCCI. He called for a mechanism for the
dissemination of all trade-related information that is a prerequisite to initiate joint
ventures or to do business and said the MCCI is ready to extend co-operation in
this regard.
President MCCI, Shahid Naseem Khokhar said that Pakistan and the Netherlands
have always had good diplomatic and trade relationship. He said that Dutch
assistance in terms of financial technical, educational and advisory support to
Pakistan has always been great and worth mentioning. In the European Union, the
Netherlands is one of Pakistan's most important export destinations after the UK,
Germany and Italy. He said that analysis of trade figures between the two countries
indicate that the total trade had declined from US $966 million in 2008-09 to US
$742 million in 2009-10. Moreover, Pakistan's exports to Netherlands decreased
from US $468 million in 2008-09 to US $389 million in 2009-10. On the other hand,
he said, during these years, Netherlands's exports to Pakistan had also fallen from
US $498 million dollars to US $353 million.

Khokhar said that joint efforts are needed to cease this trend from going further
down. Moreover, the percentage share of the Netherlands in Pakistan's total
exports has been ranging from 2.6 percent to 2.7 percent which can be increased
by taking some sector-specific measures. Pakistan's main export products to the
Netherlands are knitwear, articles of apparel, readymade garments, sugar and
sugar confectionery, cotton, leather manufacturers, leather clothing, leather gloves,
sport goods, pharmaceutical products, fruits and vegetables whereas Netherlands

Pakistan offers Russia to set up Kalabagh Steel Mill
RECORDER REPORT
ISLAMABAD (October 20, 2010) : Pakistan has offered Russia to set up Kalabagh
Steel Mill on equity/project sharing formula based on indigenous iron ore and coal
projects, Business Recorder has learnt. In 1956, M/s Krupp of Germany offered to
set up a steel mill on Kalabagh iron ore, coal and other minerals available within an
11 mile radius but the project was shelved due to the importers lobby.
In June 1966, another German company M/s Salzgitter produced 5,000 tons of
quality steel from 15,000 tons of Kalabagh iron ore. The company offered in August
1967 to set up Kalabagh Steel Mill with a production capacity of over 0.8 million
tons per year (mtpy) based on Kalabagh iron ore and imported coal. Some
European banks offered loans for this project at the time, which confirmed technical
and financial viability of the project, which was also shelved due to importers' lobby.
The subsequent year the Russian offer was accepted, however, they did not have
the technology to produce steel from indigenous iron ore. Instead of reviving the
German offer based on local raw materials, the site of the steel mill project was
shifted to Karachi and Pak Steel Mill was established based on imported iron ore
and coal.
Pakistan has offered Russia to support Pakistan Steel Mills to expand capacity from
1.2 million to 3 millions ton in the first phase and 5 million tons in the second phase.
Pakistan has the largest reserves of iron ore in Dulband, Naukundi and Chaghi
areas of Balochistan which can be used to support hydel projects like Bhasha dam.

GILGIT: Over 40,000 megawatts of electricity can be produced in Gilgit-Baltistan
(G-B) if the available water resources are used properly, officials said on Thursday.
“The region is full of water reservoirs and is best suited for the production of power.
If these resources are used in a suitable manner, more than 40,000 megawatts of
power can be generated in these areas,” a senior official in the Water and Power
department said.
With the financial support of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and other donors,
a number of projects are in progress in this region. Shagar-thang Power project is
one of them, 80 per cent of the total expenditure is being paid for by the ADB.
The dam is the largest project that is being funded by foreign donors. The Diamer-
Bhasha Dam will be the highest dam in the world with a 272 metres high spillway
and with 14 gates, each 11.5 m x 16.24 m.
Critics of the project have raised objections to the project as it will cause the
inundation of over 50,000 ancient rock carvings and will destroy archaeological
evidence in the region.
Meanwhile, the official said that nearly Rs13.5 billion will be spent on the 26
megawatt Shagar-thang project in the hopes that after its completion power
shortages from the G-B region will.
“Technical evaluation of the project has been completed while the process of
identification of consults is underway,” he said, adding that the project will be
completed by 2015.

Malaysian Chapter of Pak-Malaysia JBC launched
ISLAMABAD: Launching of Malaysian Chapter of Pakistan-Malaysia Joint Business

Council (JBC) marks an important milestone to foster friendship, promote
understanding and facilitate trade and investment between the business
communities of the two countries, High Commissioner for Pakistan in Malaysia,
Masood Khalid stated while addressing the inaugural meeting of the newly-
constituted Malaysian Chapter of Pakistan Malaysia Joint Business Council, in
Kuala Lumpur.

Fri
The High Commissioner said that launching of Malaysian Chapter of JBC was
indeed a significant step forward, as it would provide a common platform to two
private sectors to make business networking, promote and enhance trade in
traditional items, identify non traditional items to broaden trade inventory, expand
investment in existing sectors and to identify new areas for investment to make a
fresh start in the bilateral trade, investment and economic cooperation between the
two countries. He said that one of the main tasks of JBC should be to instill
awareness in the business community about the benefits of Malaysia-Pakistan
Comprehensive Econo-mic Partnership Agreement (MPCEPA), which was signed
in 2007 but remained underutilised.
He encouraged the JBC to formulate and set in place a comprehensive strategy to

create awareness among the business community regarding enormous potential of
trade and investment that exists between the two countries and to educate them on
the concessions available to them in terms of reduced duties and tariff under
MPCEPA.
Chairman, Malaysian Chapter of JBC, Dato Salim Bin Fateh Din said that formation
of JBC was an offshoot of MoU signed between Federation of Pakistan Chambers
of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) and National Chamber of Commerce and
Industry of Malaysia (NCCIM) in 2005.
He said that FPCCI of Pakistan is actively pursing constitution of Pakistani Chapter

of JBC, and after its formation, joint session of Pakistan-Malaysia Joint Business
Council will be held to launch Joint Business Council. Once JBC was launched, it
would provide a formal forum to the private sectors of both the countries to promote
mutually beneficial business, trade and investment ties to bring about substantial
increase in bilateral trade, investment and economic cooperation between the two
countries, he added. staff report

Pakistan and China on Friday signed an agreement for a loan to set up the ground
control system for a joint communications satellite to be launched next year.
Pakistan's Ambassador to China Masood Khan signed the loan agreement with the
Exim Bank of China for the Paksat-1R satellite's ground control project in Beijing,
an official statement said. Paksat-1R will be launched on August 14 next year to
replace the current communications satellite Paksat 1.
A contract for the satellite was signed between Pakistan's Space and Upper
Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) and China Great Wall Industry
Corporation in October 2008.
The contract for the ground control project was signed in October last year during
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani's visit to China. A framework loan agreement
between the two governments was signed in June. Under the agreement, China will
provide a concessional loan of RMB 86.5 million for the ground control project.
Ambassador Khan said the agreement has further promoted Pakistan-China

cooperation in science and technology and the satellite will become a symbol of the
friendship between the two countries.
Once it is completed, the project will bring immense economic benefits to Pakistan,
he said.

Hillary Clinton and Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi speak during the US-
Pakistan Strategic Dialogue Plenary Session at the State Department in
Washington, October 22. — Photo by Reuters
WASHINGTON: A better understanding of Pakistan’s defence needs in the US

capital may soon lead to an additional $300-400 million of annual military
assistance, besides a $2.029 billion package announced last week.
Diplomatic sources told Dawn that the money would come from the Pakistan
Counter-insurgency Capability Fund set up to help the country fight terrorists along
and inside the Pak-Afghan border. Last year, the House Appropriations Committee
approved $400 million for the counter-insurgency fund.
In February this year, the Obama administration sought a $0.5 billion increase in
funds to bolster Pakistan’s counter-insurgency capabilities.
The US administration was increasing the fund from $700 million in fiscal 2009 to
$1.2 billion in the current fiscal year, which began on Oct. 1. Both the funds – the
PCCF and the $2.029 billion package for purchasing US weapons – are
continuation of previous five-year programmes. But amounts under both
programmes have been increased.
The five-year package for military hardware and training has been increased from
$1.5 billion, allocated in the previous package, to $2.029. There will be a similar
increase in the PCCF.
During last week’s strategic dialogue, where the two packages were negotiated, the
US also promised to reimburse $750 million of arrears from the Coalition Support
Fund. But Pakistani officials, who participated in the dialogue, said that “the talks’
real achievement” was “a better understanding of Pakistan’s position on North
Waziristan”.
The Pakistanis informed their American counterparts that they already had 39,000
troops in North Waziristan, more than those deployed in South Waziristan. Pakistan
also assured the Americans that it’s willing to continue and even expedite ‘surgical
operations’ against the militants in North Waziristan but was not in a position to
launch a full-fledged military operations. Besides having physical limitations, the
Pakistanis feel that the operation may prove counter-productive if conducted without
proper preparation to consolidate the gains achieved in the battlefield.

All Day China: ‘Pakistan is our Israel’ -- Inter Press Service News Agency.
China: ‘Pakistan is our Israel’
The world’s most populous country is showing more international assertiveness,

which bothers the US.
China’s foreign relations are increasingly influenced by state run energy companies,
study says [GALLO/GETTY]
When a US delegate once confronted a Chinese diplomat about Beijing‘s

uncompromising support for Pakistan, the Chinese reportedly responded with a
heavily-loaded sarcastic remark: “Pakistan is our Israel”.
But judging by China’s unrelenting support for some of its allies, including North
Korea, Burma, Zimbabwe and Sudan, its protective arm around these countries is
no different from the US and Western political embrace of Israel – right or wrong.
While China is battling the West over exchange rates, import tariffs and its territorial
claims in the South China Sea, Beijing is also lobbying furiously to stall a Western-
inspired proposal for a Commission of Inquiry on possible war crimes by the military
junta in Burma (Myanmar).
“Such a commission should not be seen as a way to punish the government, but to
prevent impunity and help prevent further abuse,” says the UN Special Rapporteur
on Myanmar, Tomas Ojea Quintana.
But China, which in January 2007 exercised its veto, along with Russia, to prevent
Security Council sanctions against Burma, has not shown any willingness to back
the proposal – even for a watered-down commission.
“Clearly,” says one Asian diplomat, “China is trying to reassert its political clout at
the United Nations as a counterweight to its defensive stand on currency and trade
issues.”
The New York Times newspaper said on Tuesday that the US administration is
facing a “confrontational relationship” with an assertive China and is trying to
respond to “a surge of Chinese triumphalism” by strengthening Washington’s
relationship with Japan and South Korea.
US President Barack Obama is planning to visit four Asian countries next month –
Japan, Indonesia, India and South Korea – while bypassing China.
Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who needs China’s support in the

Security Council if he decides to run for a second term next year, is currently on his
fourth trip to China, having visited the country in May and July 2008, and in July
2009.
In recent months, China has prevented a Security Council resolution against North
Korea over the sinking of a South Korean ship and also tried to suppress a UN
report alleging the use of Chinese-made bullets in attacks on UN peacekeepers in
Darfur, Sudan.
“China sees value in promoting its image as the Security Council member
defending the rights of the developing world, and China sees value in relying on the
UN to counter US power,” said Linda Jakobson, director of the programme on
China and Global Security at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute
(SIPRI).
Jakobson, an in-house China expert at SIPRI, points out that Beijing also sees
value in participating in UN peacekeeping operations “both because this enhances
the image of China as a responsible power but also because it gives Chinese
military experience”.
324
Sun
Still, China relented to US and Western pressure in supporting four Security Council
resolutions imposing sanctions against Iran, one of Beijing’s staunchest political,
economic and military allies.
The fourth round of sanctions, all of them aimed primarily at Iran’s nuclear
programme, was imposed in June this year.
Justifying his country’s support for the resolution, Chinese Ambassador Li Baodong
was quoted as saying that Beijing wanted to make sure that sanctions would not
affect the Iranian people or its normal overseas trade.
Jakobson said that China agreed to these sanctions after much deliberation and on
the condition that the energy sector was excluded.
“This can be seen as a compromise solution on China’s part,” she said. “The
exclusion of the energy sector was crucial.”
Jakobson also pointed out that China wants to protect the massive investments by
Chinese energy companies already in Iran or under negotiation with Tehran, and
China wants to ensure that its long-term strategic plans for energy security are not
threatened.
In a detailed policy paper released last month, and titled “New Foreign Policy Actors
in China”, SIPRI said the increasing sway of large state-owned energy companies
have an increasing influence on foreign policy deliberations in China.
Jakobson, who co-authored the report with Dean Knox, said this is one example of
that sway though it is noteworthy that there are other foreign policy actors who
presumably were not inclined to advocate China’s support of the resolution.
On the other hand, she said, there were presumably actors who advocated China’s
support for the resolution because China supports non-proliferation and does not
want to see Iran go nuclear.
“If China had not supported the resolution, it would reflect badly on China’s image
and undermine its efforts to portray itself as a responsible global power,” Jakobson
said.
She said China attaches great importance to the United Nations and would like to
see the role of the UN strengthened – though Beijing is wary of many proposals that
want to expand Security Council membership and/or give power to members other
than the present five permanent members, the United States, Britain, France,
Russia and China.
The SIPRI report argues that actors outside the traditional power structure are
increasingly shaping China’s foreign policy.
Influential new actors on the margins include Chinese state- owned enterprises,
especially energy companies, which, due to their widespread international outreach,
affect China’s bilateral relationships and diplomacy at large.
The others include local governments, especially in border and coastal provinces,
which seek more lucrative trade and foreign investment opportunities.
At the same time, there is growing importance of researchers, who serve as

advisors to officials and media, and netizens, who constitute a new pressure group
that China’s leaders at times feel compelled to take into account, not least during
international crises.
The findings also point to a fracturing of authority in foreign policy formulation.
Diversification outside China’s official decision making apparatus – along with

changes within it – means that foreigners can no longer expect to only deal with one
government agency or Party organ but must take into account multiple actors that

Buttressing Pak-Turkish linkages
Shanzeh Iqbal
The relations between Turkey and Pakistan are entrenched deeply. Both the
countries share a common vision on many regional and international issues. The
relations are based on mutual respect, trust and interest. The two countries face the
same challenges and a common cultural heritage. Turkey has acknowledged on
many forums the sacrifices offered by the Pakistani nation and its army in waging a
war on terror. Turkey has rendered an unflinching support to Pakistan. Times have
proved it. Turkey always came all out for Pakistan’s assistance in the hour of
distress. Tayyip Erdogon was the first foreign head of state when Pakistan was in
the tight hold of the most calamitous earthquake in 2005. Turkey provided Pakistan
150 million dollars for rehabilitation works. Likewise in the aftermath of the flood of
2010, which caused colossal wreckage, it was the first country which started
building of prefabricated home villages for flood affected people in the recent
scenario.
Turkish model is indeed a role model worth follow suit as the Turkish nation hates
corruption in all forms. Its politicians think for the wellbeing of their beloved country
and the fellowmen also cherish the same vision. Significant economic growth of
Turkey in the previous couple of years is a good example for Pakistan to pursue.
Turkey has also supported Pakistan in bringing stability in Afghanistan and for
holding the regional summits and Turkey Afghanistan Pakistan Tripartite Summit.
The fourth summit on January 25, 2010 was intended at reestablishing the cordial
relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It also tried to ensure the solidarity of
cooperation ventures.
In order to amplify the business ties Pak Turkish CEO’s Forum went on increasing
cooperation in the areas of power, agriculture and mining. In October 2009 the
Turkish PM came to Pakistan on a two day visit. PM Gillani and Mr Erdogon
decided to boost their strategic partnership to fight militancy and to congeal the
political, diplomatic and economic cooperation. Both signed a joint declaration in
trade investment, agriculture, industry, culture, education and defense and to
increase people to people contacts. The Focus was also laid on increasing
interaction between the intelligence agencies to get rid of terrorism, illegal arms
trafficking and terrorist groups. In 2009 an MoU was signed under which the
business community was given exemption from visa requirements.
The Businessmen from the two countries with valid documents were allowed to visit
and stay in each other countries without visa for 90 days. In the same year Pakistan
went ahead with the Islamabad Tehran Istanbul international freight train service.
This service was supposed to be operated as pilot project of Economic Cooperation
Organistaion. Pakistan Turkey joint Ministerial Commission meeting agreed to
enhance the volume of trade to US $2b by 2010.CEO Forum was hosted by
Turkey’s Foreign Economic relations Board in Istanbul in January 2010. Punjab
Chief Minister said on this platform that Pakistan considers the performance of
Turkey as the best model. CEO Forum is intended to help evaluate the potential of
private entrepreneur. Turkey’s private corporations have invested markedly in
industrial and construction projects, highways, pipelines, canals, fields of energy,
infrastructure, textile, engineering goods, mining and agriculture. In January 2010
Pakistan and Iran agreed to start a $20 b project to upgrade a railway link from
Islamabad to Istanbul as a means of transporting cargo from Pakistan to Turkey.
With the help of this 5 year project 11 days journey would be reduced to almost 4
days between the two cities. It will connect Pakistan with European countries
through Turkey. The President Zaradri conferred Nishan-e- Pakistan,the highest of
civil awards, on President Gul in April 2010 when he came on his visit to Pakisan

showed a deep interest for multi role combat aircraft JF-17 Thunder. Turkey and
Pakistan have decided in October 2010 to materialize ideas of currency swap which
will facilitate business, trade and commerce and upgrade the existing railway track
between the two countries via Iran. It is a step ahead in ensuring the speedy
transportation of cargo and would open new vistas of opportunities for the people.
Moreover it will also lead to economic uplift and bring forth sustainable bilateral
relations. It is also a step in furthering the mutual cooperation.
Turkey’s initiative of developing a common Asian policy and helping Pakistan in

making powerful the relations of Pakistan with Central Asian Sates must be
appreciated. A multidimensional mechanism must be devised to address the
regional issues as the unique geo strategic position of both can be vocal in bringing
peace and prosperity. There is also a need for establishing framework of
preferential trade with Turkey. It will open doors for free trade agreement. Currently
Pakistan is exporting rice, sesame seeds, leather, textile, sports goods to Turkey
and Turkey exports wheat, chickpeas, lentils, chemicals, transport vehicles etc.
Both the Turkish PM and the President have articulated the resolve that Turkey
wants to invest on permanent basis to help infrastructure of Pakistan. The lukewarm
political relations can be very favorable to yield good economic benefits obliging to
both the countries. Strategic partnership as a result will lead to a win win position.
The sectors where the government has to work include increased corporate sector
cooperation, greater people to people contacts, exchange of students, media and
intellectuals. Along with this transport, telecommunications, energy, water, public
diplomacy and other industries are the areas where the attention must be focused.
We must take advantage of the existing potential of Turkey. This can be a way to
avert the looming shadows of misfortune hovering over the economy of Pakistan.

All Day Our strategic commercial corridor(s) -- BR
Our strategic commercial corridor(s)
The writer is a retired brigadier and a former president of the Islamabad Policy
Research Institute
As I wrote in my last column on these pages, Pakistan’s ‘strategic location’ is
strategic only if it returns to being the centre of commercial activity. While silk and
other goods will still need transportation, today there is far more: energy resources
from oil and gas rich Central Asian Republics (CARs) and minerals.
Let us, however, start with China. About a decade ago, China completed an oil
pipeline from Kazakhstan to Urumqi, where it constructed an oil refinery. Suddenly,
industry sprouted around Urumqi and the entire province has become rich. Goods
produced around Urumqi are transported by rail and road to Chinese eastern ports,
a distance of about 2,500 miles. From there, transportation by sea to the Far East
and the Americas is easy, but to access the rest of the world Chinese ships goes
through the Straits of Malacca, travel almost 5,000 miles to reach the Gulf of Aden
and another 5,800 miles to reach the Arabian Gulf. Most of this route has
operational US military bases on it.
On the other hand, a rail link from Urumqi to Havelian in Pakistan, parallel to the
Karakoram Highway, is already in the pipeline, despite some technical difficulties.
From Havelian, a direct rail link will connect to Gwadar. An extension of the
Kazakhstan oil pipeline from Urumqi to Havelian is also in the offing.
Once the rail-link is established, goods from Urumqi can be transported to Gwadar,
a distance of less than 2,000 miles and, once they reach there, they will be at the
mouth of the Arabian Gulf and a mere 1,000 miles from the Gulf of Aden!
We know that Afghanistan is rich in mineral resources. The most logical and
shortest route for them to reach the seas is via Gwadar; as it is for the CARs.
However, if Afghanistan is denied to the CARs, due to insecurity which is likely to
prevail for the foreseeable future, the next most logical route is via Iran. This route
is unacceptable to the US and the US is in a position to have its way in this matter.
The next route out for the CARs to reach the seas is through China, sharing the
rail/road link to Gwadar. A rail link from Almaty (Kazakhstan) to Urumqi already
exists. It would take little effort for other CARs to route themselves via Almaty. The
US does not favour this route either, but it is not in a position to deny China to the
CARs.
This is our strategic commercial corridor (henceforth SCC). Not only will it solve our
energy crisis, the revenue generated through commerce can make us a modern
day Singapore. The only hindrance is the unrest in Balochistan. That is why our
unfriendly neighbour(s) are interested in stoking the unrest there.
Our political leaders cannot see the significance of this or are incapable of doing
anything about it since our economic future is inextricably linked to the SCC and,
therefore, to peace in Balochistan.
India is also energy starved. It tried to get oil from Myanmar but its plans were foiled
by China. Without cheap energy resources, India will fail to achieve its ambitions.
The cheapest method of transporting energy is through overland pipelines. For
cheap energy to reach India overland, whether from the Middle East, Iran or the
CARs, is through Pakistan; that is a geographic reality.
One day, India will acknowledge this truth and realise not only that a peaceful
Balochistan is in our common interest but that our economic future is still tied to
each other by an umbilical cord.
If we look at the energy and mineral rich CARs, the most logical route out for them
is through Afghanistan on to Gwadar.

Iran plans wind farm for Pakistan
TEHRAN, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- An Iranian company linked to the country's Energy

Ministry said it plans to build a massive wind farm in Pakistan's southern Sindh
province.
Iranian company SANIR, which is affiliated with the Energy Ministry, said it signed a
$100 million deal in Pakistan to build a 1,000-megawatt wind farm, the semiofficial
Fars News Agency reports.
The report adds that Iran is the only country in the region that has the technological
capability of building wind turbines.
The contract was signed with members of the Pakistani Chamber of Commerce, the
report adds. The project aims to help Pakistan alleviate a looming energy crisis.
Both sides in June agreed to long-term natural gas contracts from the South Pars
gas complex in the Persian Gulf.
Iran said it would ship as much as 750 million cubic feet of gas per year to Pakistan
as early as 2014 when a pipeline from South Pars goes on stream.
Iran has pressed for the pipeline, which is dubbed the Peace Pipeline, since the
1990s. Western adversaries are pushing for a rival project from Turkmenistan.

-- ISTANBUL
ISTANBUL: The government of Pakistan has decided to allow visa on arrival for 30
days to all Turkish nationals who possess valid US, UK or Schengen visas, said
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani.
“We hope remaining formalities will soon be completed to conclude Visa Abolition
Agreement for bona fide businessmen of Turkey and Pakistan,” he said. Speaking
at a meeting on Wednesday, hosted by Turkish Foreign Economic Relations Board
DEIK, Gilani invited Turkish businessmen to explore Pakistan’s business potential
by investing in energy, oil and gas sectors.
“We seek your investment, desire joint ventures and want to work together in the
spirit of a win-win partnership by providing conducive environment to do business in
Pakistan. Bilateral trade volume of around $782 million did not reflect the potential
and opportunities that exist in two countries,” he added.
He said steps had been taken by the government to promote trade and foreign
investment. Despite some external and internal shocks in shape of global financial
crisis, volatility in oil prices and energy shortfall, Pakistan’s economy had shown
resilience and modest growth this year, he stated.
Economic liberalisation, deregulation and privatisation in a transparent manner

remain core principles of the economic reform agenda, he added.
He said Pakistan offered many attractive opportunities for investment in energy,

textile, infrastructure development, agro-based industry, oil, gas and mining. He
said the textile sector had been revamped and re-energised with a Rs40 billion
investment support fund and asked Turkish businesses to consider setting up new
units, entering joint ventures and relocating textile manufacturing units to Pakistan.
Gilani said the Karachi Fish Harbour, which has a recognised potential of $1 billion,
is being revamped and operations are being modernised. “We look for joint
ventures for modern shrimp peeling units and mother vessels,” he added.

Malaysia starts breeding project of 'Neeli Ravi' of Pakistan
The Malaysian Ministry of Agriculture and Agro-based Industry and Department of
Veterinary Services have launched a pilot buffalo breeding project of Pakistani
buffalo, "Neeli Ravi" known world over for its high yield of quality milk with rich fat
content.
According to Pakistan's High Commission in Kuala Lumpur, the first ever

consignment of 170 Neeli Ravi buffalos was formally handed over to the Malaysian
Minister for Agriculture and Agro Based Industries, Datuk Seri Noh Bin Haji Omar
by the High Commissioner for Pakistan in Malaysia Masood Khalid, in a ceremony,
organized by the Department of Veterinary Services of Malaysia, in Kuala Lumpur,
on Friday.
Speaking on the occasion, the Malaysian Minister for Agriculture and Agro Based
Industry, Dato Sri Noh Bin Haji Omar said that Malaysia was deficient in production
of milk and; therefore, imports most of the fresh milk to cater the domestic market.
He said launching of the pilot project of Neeli Ravi breeding facility in Malaysia, with
the active technical support of Buffalo Research Institute (BRI) of the Punjab, the
Malaysian Government will set up and develop its own dairy industry to meet
domestic needs of fresh milk, and develop parallel facilities for the production of
milk based products like Mozzarella cheese, fresh butter etc.
The High Commissioner for Pakistan in Malaysia Masood Khalid speaking on the
occasion said import of first ever batch of 170 Buffalos of Neeli Ravi breed, which
included 150 female and 20 male stock coupled with approval of an abattoir of
Pakistan for export of frozen beef to Malaysia.
He said it had opened up a new window of opportunity for long term mutually
beneficial cooperation between the livestock sectors of the two countries.
He said it would help both the countries to further explore trade and investment in
non traditional items.
He said that Pakistan and Malaysia were ideally positioned to capture multi trillion
dollar halal market, the world over.
Pakistan with 5th largest milk production, 2nd largest rock salts reserves, 10th
largest mandarin production, 3rd largest mango production, 33rd largest potato
production, 4th largest onion production, with animal population of over 110 million,
coupled with Malaysian expertise in reprocessing and packaging can jointly capture
a big chunk of fast growing multi trillion halal market, the world over.
Neeli Ravi called 'black gold' in Pakistan was the most important dairy breed
adaptable and versatile of all the domestic animal of Asia and produces the highest
yield of milk with an average of 7.5 litre per day.
Pakistan and Malaysia had signed two MoU and one Letter of Intent to promote
cooperation in the live stock sector and halal business between the two countries
during the visit of Minister of Agriculture and Agro Based Industry of Malaysia,

An increased exchange of delegations could help Swiss entrepreneurs to get better

picture of business environment in Pakistan and appreciate potential this huge
market has to offer, Switzerland Ambassador to Pakistan, Christoph Bubb said
Thursday.
Pakistan delegation’s visit is being arranged by Swiss Agency for Development and
Cooperation (SDC) in Karachi with its counterpart Swiss Asian Chamber of
Commerce in Zurich.
Bubb said Karachi is one of the world’s largest metropolitan cities and an important
contributor to national and global economy.
It holds a particular significance for Switzerland as out of 18 Swiss multinational

companies operating in Pakistan 15 were established in Karachi and successfully
operating in pharmaceuticals, chemicals, banking and other service industries.
He said Swiss companies are generally satisfied with course of business and based
on market potential maintain an optimistic outlook despite concerns to ongoing
energy shortages and law-and-order situation.
He said bilateral trade between two nations has shown consistent growth over
several years and is now further picking up in aftermath of global recession. The
balance of trade has been in favour of Switzerland but Pakistan has considerably
increased exports to Switzerland in past few years, he added.
SDC is successfully operating in Pakistan since 1966 and its program focuses on

Pakistan-Turkey - a journey from ‘brotherhood to strategic partnership’
By Shumaila Andleeb
ISLAMABAD, Dec 10 (APP): From the love of Pakistanis for Kamal Ataturk to the
Turks’ affection for Jinnah - the brotherly relationship is ready to witness a shining
era as Pakistan and Turkey have entered a new world of strategic partnership with
signing of 17 Memoranda of Understanding in different fields.With ‘Ataturk Avenue’
in Islamabad and ‘Jinnah Jadesi’ roads in Ankara, the two capitals have got a new
strategic dimension with the recent official visit of Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani
to Turkey.
The signing of 17 MoUs by the two countries has been regarded as a “turning point”
to mutually benefit from each others’ potential in the fields including health,
education,agriculture, infrastructure, housing and media.
Turkey also offered to build schools and hospitals in Pakistan’s flood-affected
regions within six months.
Both the Prime Ministers of Pakistan and Turkey expressed conviction to take
personal interest in ensuring practical implementation of the 17 MoUs.
Prime Minister Gilani’s visit to Turkey also marks conferment of three separate
honors for him. Turkish President Abdullah Gul awarded the Prime Minister with
‘Jamhuriyat Nishan - The Republic Order’ at a special investiture ceremony in
recognition to furthering the relations between two countries.
Another award was Degree of Doctorate of Journalism for the Prime Minister by
Turkey’s prestigious Marmara University.
The University Rector termed Gilani as “Man of Culture” and said the institution was
interested in learning from his experiences through his lectures.
Gilani also had the honour to address the Turkish Grand National Assembly,
making him the first head of the government from Pakistan addressing the Turk
parliamentarians.
Prime Minister Gilani who co-chaired the inaugural session of High Level
Cooperation Council (HLCC) with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan in
Ankara, has termed the body as a “direct interaction between the cabinets of two
Prime Ministers”.
In the ancient city of Istanbul, the Prime Minister during his interaction with the
Turkish businessmen offered them to invest in agriculture, housing, energy and
infrastructure development, with an effort to for private sectors of the two countries

Turkey expressed desire to strengthen the economic relations of two countries on a
higher level.
Gilani told the Turkish businessmen that Pakistan had decided to give visa on
arrival for 30 days to all Turkish nationals who possessed valid US, UK or
Schengen visas.
He also expressed hope that the remaining formalities will soon be completed for
the conclusion of Visa Abolition Agreement for bonafide businessmen of Turkey and
Pakistan.
Pakistan and Turkey also reiterated their last year’s agreement to increase bilateral
trade volume to US$2 billion by 2012.
Prime Minister Gilani concluded his visit with a saying that defines the crux of
relationship between Pakistan and Turkey, as “The Pak-Turk relationship is a true
sense of brotherhood. It is, as if we are a single family. We value these very special
relations and will take them to even greater heights.”

KARACHI: Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM) has received Expression of Interest (EoI)
from 10 companies including China and Russia to boost its production from the
present 1.1 million tonne per annum to 1.5 million tonne per annum.
“After appointing a consultant from international market for evaluating the

Expression of Interest, the process of awarding this contract to a foreign company
will be completed within the next three months,” CEO PSM, Imtiaz Ahmed Khan
Lodhi said.
In this regard, PSM management has already given a detailed presentation to

Federal Ministry of Industries and Production, and the Planning Commission of
Pakistan, he said in an interview on Thursday.
According to CEO Pakistan Steel, after starting work on the first phase of
expansion, the entity will initiate a second phase named Green Field Project to
double its production capacity to 3 million tonne per year.
He said PSM has succeeded in restoring the confidence of foreign suppliers of raw
materials (iron ore and coal) — with import bills amounting Rs 800 million.
PSM, he said, has also been approached by private firms registered in Brazil,
Indonesia and others for supply of raw material.
Pakistan Steel, a state-run leading industry, was set up with cooperation of former
Soviet Union in early 1970s near Port Qasim.
“Next month we will be in a no-profit-no-loss position. By the end of June 2011,

Pakistan Steel will have a small net profit on its accounts,” Imtiaz Ahmed Khan
Lodhi said.
Pakistan Steel has also repaid all its loans and is utilising its own resources to
generate funds complemented with various effective budgetary and administrative
measures to strengthen its liquidity position.
It has made procedures/polices very transparent especially of procurement to check

possible corruption. Third party certification of raw materials has also been
introduced to achieve the results.
With re-commissioning of its battery “Coke oven-I”, in February 2011, the Mills’
production will rise to 1.1 million tonne per year. PSM, at present, is operating at 50
percent capacity. With further improvement in raw materials stock position, the Mill
will use its 60% capacity next month and in January 2011, it is expected to touch
70% of its total production capacity.
The Coke oven-I has been repaired at a cost of Rs 1.5 billion with the help of
Russian experts. From next month, PS Billet Mill is expected to produce 0.3 million
tonne billets per month.
PSM has been catering up to 20% of total steel demand of the country. For
increasing its share in the market, the entity has started diversification of the
products. Now, it will make improved quality sheets to beat the competitors within
and outside the country. PSM has already an edge over other steel mills in private
sector. PSM could influence the local steel market as its prices work as benchmark.
It produces billets, hot rolled sheets and galvanised iron sheets, besides, selling its
by-products, that is, coal tar, ammonium sulphate, slag and coke. PSM is the sole
source of this coke for small steel units and foundries engaged in making wide
range of steel products in the country, Lodhi said.
The Mills’ management has devised a new price fixation system with full
transparency to ensure better profit margins. “PSM management has focused on
developing and promoting indigenous sources of raw materials to cut its raw
materials bill, ensure its availability and save foreign exchange for the country,” he
added.
345
Fri
In local cases, PSM has to pay bill within one week after shipment of raw material
whereas in foreign suppliers cases, the advance payment is needed and the price
is also high. The local procurement will also help promote domestic industry and
create jobs for the local people.

* Both countries sign framework arrangement agreement
By Ijaz Kakakhel
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and South Korea on Thursday signed a framework

million for development projects in Pakistan.
The loan would be administered by the Korean Economic Development

Cooperation Fund (EDCF) and Korean Exim Bank. The loan has one percent mark-

agreements for development projects in priority areas that include infrastructure,
renewable energy, vocational training, environment, health and education sector.
Korea has shown interest to finance two projects that include construction of
Malakand Tunnel with total cost of $90 million and conversion of Municipal Solid
Waste into energy and fertilizer in Faisalabad with a cost of $35 million
approximately.
EAD secretary said both Pakistan and S Korea have cordial and historic relations
and Korea always extended useful assistance both in terms of technical and
development. At present, he said Korea provided assistance in three developmental
schemes with a total cost of $63.8 million. These projects were Kepco in
Gujranwalan with $45 million, NTDC 22KV line with $17.3 million and Garment
Centre Karachi $1.5 million. All these projects are ongoing, he maintained.
Speaking on the occasion, the S Korea ambassador said the framework

arrangement between the two governments is concerned with loans from the EDCF
for the year 2010 through 2012, with the view to simplifying and streamlining the
loans allocation procedures. Under this arrangement, he said the government of
Pakistan would be entitled to avail the opportunity of EDCF loan from Korea up to
an aggregated commitment amount of $180 million.
He said the arrangement would also provide a platform for submission of project
proposals to be financed under EDCF loan assistance in the priority areas. The
repayment terms and the interest rate shall be specified in the loan agreement for
the individual project.
At this time of Pakistan is facing economic hardships due to recent disastrous

floods, ongoing war on terrorism and extremism and energy shortage in the country.
Korea has come forward as usual and stands with Pakistan not only to play its due
role to soften the situation at the time of need but also to further strengthen the
existing bilateral economic cooperation between the two countries.
The Korean Embassy in a statement said that it was also pertinent to mention here
346

that the government of Korea established the EDCF in 1987 for the purpose of
promoting Korea’s economic cooperation with developing countries. Drawing on
Korea’s development experiences to data, the EDCF assists developing countries
by providing necessary funding to assist in industrial development and economic
stability. The Exim Bank of Korea was responsible for the operation of the EDCF
including project appraisal, execution of the loan agreement and evaluation after
project completion.

Didier Boschung visited the Overseas Investors Chamber of Commerce & Industry
(OICCI) to familiarise himself with the business environment in the country and to
obtain the ground realities of operating in Pakistan from the business community’s
perspective. The prime objective of the Swiss delegate’s visit to OICCI was to

sunrise industries, which may be of interest to Swiss investors. The current energy
crisis along with the social and political situation of the country was also discussed
in detail. The delegation inquired about the initiatives being taken by the
government of Pakistan and stressed improving the image of the country for
potential investors. During the meeting, the issue regarding violation of “Intellectual
Property Rights” was also raised with particular reference to the data protection law
for the pharmaceutical sector. Ambassador Bubb shared his concerns regarding
policy implementation and lack of proper governance in the country. Speaking at
the occasion, Ameena Saiyid - OBE, President OICCI said, “Despite these negative
aspects, Pakistan still remains an attractive destination for investment and
members of the Chamber have been running their businesses successfully in the
region even during the difficult periods.” Ameena assured the delegate that the
government could further improve the investment scenario of the country by
broadening the tax base, strengthening the education system, and developing
facilities to provide technical training. The ambassador acknowledged the efforts
being made by the OICCI and stated that more was needed on the international
front towards eliminating misperceptions about Pakistan. As the foreign world often
assumes Pakistan to be a war zone, which is quite contradictory to the reality. staff

All Day The 17,000 Km long Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI),

natural gas pipeline project has been signed on December 11, 2010 -- APP
TAPI: The desired essence
Dr Raja Muhammad Khan
The 17,000 Km long Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI), natural gas

pipeline project has been signed on December 11, 2010, during Ashkhabad
Summit. The project is both unique and significant. Unique in the sense that, it is
third time that concern parties has agreed for its construction, but practically no
construction work on it could be started as yet, mainly because of security reasons,
mainly prevailing in Afghanistan. Initially, the project was conceived as TAP
(Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan) during the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
Later it was revived twice; as TAP and TAPI during Karazai administration in
Afghanistan. On December 11, 2010, the energy ministers of all four countries
signed the framework agreement of the project, whereas, the Presidents of all
countries less India signed the key document. Mr. Murli Deora, Minister of
Petroleum and Natural Gas, represented India, who signed the key document also.
The envisaged route of the gas pipeline is from Turkmen Dauletabad gas fields to
Fazilaka India via Herat-Kandahar (Afghanistan) and Quetta Pakistan. The
designated capacity of the gas is expected to be 33 billion cubic meters per year.
The estimated cost of the project is $8 billion. Following the over-through of the
Taliban regime in Afghanistan in 2001, the heads of the state of Afghanistan,
Pakistan, and Turkmenistan met in Islamabad in May 2002. The heads agreed to
constitute a steering committee, consisting of oil and gas ministers of three states.
The committee requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the requisite
funding and technical assistance. The ADB after necessary analysis of the project,
promised assistance for, “financing a techno-economic feasibility study that covered
pipeline routing, preliminary design, cost estimates, and rapid environmental impact
assessment, and to assess volume-price sensitivity.”
In phase-1, ADB also supported a market study on demand for natural gas in
Pakistan and northern India, and a risk analysis and risk mitigation study to address
the concerns of gas-consuming countries and of downstream consumers in case
gas supply is disrupted along the route of the pipeline. In a way, ADB, which is
acting as the secretariat of the project, vigorously persuaded and compelled the
basic partners of the agreement to include India into it? The technical assistance by
the designers of ADB also include construction of underground reservoirs for the
storage of natural gas in Pakistan in sufficient quantity for meeting the emergency
requirements of the consumer countries, in case of shortage of supply at the source
or interruption in between. The project is significant, because it is the first formal
effort for linking the energy rich Central Asia with the energy deficient South Asia.
Moreover, the project would provide an outlet to the land locked Central Asian
Republics (CARs) through a shortest possible route for the rest of the world. At
regional level, the project would lead towards a regional integration between the
349
Sat
South and Central Asia. The regional resources would be consumed by regional
countries. It is worth mentioning that as compare to the former routes of oil and gas
from CARs to rest of the world through Russia, Pakistan provides shortest excess
to the regional countries for export and transportation of their natural resources via
Arabian Sea as well as the overland route.
Another significance of the project would be that a huge number of human

resources would be committed during the construction of the pipeline and even
thereafter on monitoring, storage and security related and miscellaneous duties. As
per estimate, over 12,000 jobs would be created for the Afghan people only during
the pipeline construction. This would provide employments to the people in their
respective areas, thus substantially reducing the unemployment in these countries.
Apart from this optimistic aspect, for the countries like Pakistan and Afghanistan,
the project would bring a huge amount of the transit fee, as the pipeline covers
huge stretches through the Pak-Afghan territories.
Besides, a lot of positive aspects and hopes for the economic prosperity, the TAPI
is expected to bring in, there are fears linked with the completion of this project. The
pipeline has to pass through some rowdy areas of Afghanistan, still under the
occupation of Taliban and warlords. The member countries of the TAPI and even
the ADB have shown concern over the security aspects of the pipeline in the
Taliban dominated areas and some areas of Pakistan, frequently hit by terrorists.
Indeed, “The issue is not only security in the sense that you can’t actually guarantee
the safety of the pipeline, but actual construction is going to be difficult as well.” In
this regard, the ongoing efforts of Hamid Karazai for the reconciliation and re-
integration of Taliban and warlords needs further impetus. Definitely the countries
directly involved in the Afghan affairs; the US and NATO countries and India, which
is massively involved in the garb of Afghan development have the primary
responsibility to bring stability in that country. Of course, the other regional countries
do have a role to play for the stability of Afghanistan, the way Pakistan is assisting
the Karazai administration in the integration and reconciliation of Taliban with his
Government. Luckily, the project has the tacit approval from the United States, the
occupier of Afghanistan. US otherwise, encourage and support all oil and gas
pipelines from the Central Asian and Caspian region to Asia and Europe from
routes other than those passing either from Russia or from Iran. In this regard, it is
also highlighted that, US still oppose the establishment of Iran-Pakistan gas
pipeline. It was because of US pressure that forced India to withdraw from the
project, previously known as the IPI (Iran-Pakistan-India) gas pipeline.
Pakistan welcomes Indian participation in this gas pipeline project. The terrorist hit
country expect that all those who promote, abet and finance terrorism and sub-
nationalism in Pakistan would now desist from this nefarious act for the greater
cause of economic prosperity in South Asia. Let us make TAPI as the symbol of
peace, stability, and economic prosperity of South and Central Asia.

lengthy negotiations with the US manufacturers failed to bear fruits. “The US
manufacturers of the F-16 aircraft were very expensive. Therefore Pakistan had to
opt for Turkey,” a source said.
Sources further said that under the agreement the project, that was expected to
kick-start within next two months or so, would be executed in phases. The PAF,
which currently has more than 40 F-16 A/B multi-roller fighter fleet, would soon start
sending its F-16 aircraft to Turkey for the MLU.

Pakistan-Norway keen to enhance coop to promote peace in region
Pakistan and Norway on Monday expressed keenness to further strengthen and
broaden bilateral ties and work together to fight against the war on terror and
promote peace and stability in the region.
At a meeting held between Minister for Defence, Ch. Ahmed Mukhtar, and the
visiting Norwegian Defence Minister, Ms. Grete Faremo an agreement was reached
to further bilateral ties with the aim to promote peace and stability in the region.
The meeting exchanged views on various subjects including defence cooperation,

Pakistan's counter terrorism efforts and its contribution in UN peace keeping
operations and security situation of the region.
Talking to his Norwegian counterpart, the Minister said that Norway was a friendly
country and a valued partner on various international and regional issues, and
Pakistan was keen to work closely with Norwegian government for furthering the
bilateral relations.
355
Mon
Ch. Ahmed Mukhtar said both countries needed to enhance collaboration in the
field of defence production and proposed to undertake joint ventures especially in
ship building and sea boats manufacturing sectors.
The Minister also conveyed that Pakistan was keen to purchase F-16 aircraft fleet
which was reportedly being replaced by Norway with F-35 Lightning-II Joint Strike
Fighter (JSF).
The meeting also discussed Pakistan's anti-terror efforts. The Minister briefed the
Norwegian defence delegation about the contribution and achievements made by
Pakistan against the war on terror.
He said that the international community was not helping Pakistan in true sense as
the war on terror was a very expensive affair.
He noted with concern that the international community had given hopes but failed
to fulfill its commitment to establish Reconstruction and Opportunity Zones (ROZs)
in FATA which were essential for bringing social and economic prosperity in the
terror-stricken region.
He termed the recent statement of the German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a
press conference with the Indian Prime Manmohan Singh in Berlin as unfortunate
blaming Pakistan for the Bombay terrorist attacks.
He regretted that the friendly countries were giving such biased and unfair
statements despite the fact that Pakistan had been paying a heavy cost than any
other country in the world, in terms of man and material losses, against the war on
terror.
On the issue of cross border movements, the Minister said that there was no cross
border movement by the terrorists from the Pakistan's side of the border.
He said that it was un-understandable that Pakistan was being blamed for the
skirmishes taking place in Afghanistan despite the fact that Pak-Afghan border was
manned by NATO/ISAF forces.
The Minister also appreciated the Norwegian support for the Internally Displaced
Persons (IDPs), flood victims and the development of Pakistan social sector
particularly its assistance of US $ 7 million and US $ 11 million for the
establishment of 350 community schools in FATA and basic improvement projects
in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province respectively.
Admiring Pakistan's sacrifices and anti-terror contribution, Ms. Grete Faremo said
that Pakistan had been playing a vital role against the war on terror, saying
Pakistan's role was very essential to defeat and eliminate terrorist elements.
She said that regional approach towards bringing peace and stability in Afghanistan
was very important. She informed that Pakistan's role and contribution in defeating
terrorism and bringing peace and stability in the region was of significant
importance.
Norwagian Defence Minister urged that both Pakistan and Norway needed to work
together to promote regional peace and defeat terrorism. She also deeply admired
Pakistan's role as the biggest contributor to UN Peacekeeping Missions.

Chinese PMs visit to help boost economic, trade development
Welcoming the forthcoming visit of Chinese Premier, Wen Jiabao, the Islamabad
Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI) President on Tuesday said that the visit
would further enhance economic and trade cooperation between the two friendly
countries, besides boosting the confidence of the business community.
"Chinese Prime Minister is coming with a large business delegation comprising

about 250 top businessmen, hence providing an opportunity to the business
persons to explore ways for developing trade relations with their Chinese
counterparts," ICCI President, Mehfooz Elahi told APP.
He was optimistic that the visit would pave way for enhanced trade to meet the
target of enhancing trade volume to $15 billion by 2015.
"Pakistan has multi-dimensional and deep-rooted relationship with China and long-
standing ties of friendship between the two countries are underpinned by mutual
trust and confidence," said Elahi earlier while addressing a business community at
the chamber house.
He said that a number of agreements, worth millions of dollars, in different sectors

including energy, infrastructure, engineering, software technologies, telecom,
furniture, real estate and tourism, mineral and mining, chemicals and printing,
automobile, agriculture and food processing, water, industry and defence are
expected to be signed during the Premier's visit.
He said Pakistan was an agro-based country, however, agriculture productivity is

not up to the mark due to use of traditional measures, adding Pakistan was looking
forward to China to give technology assistance to modernize agriculture.
He was of the view that establishment of industrial facilities and upgradation of

communication infrastructure, besides boosting trade between the two countries will
also enhance regional connectivity.
He appreciated the Presidency level meeting between both countries to resolve

Pakistan's energy crisis through development of hydel, thermal and solar energy
projects adding that Chasma project was subsequently resumed as a cooperative
project between Pakistan and the China Nuclear Energy Industry Corporation.
Mafooz said China and Pakistan have witnessed steady growth in mutual
investments in recent years adding investment of more than $1.3 billion was made
by China in Pakistan in the last few years.
He said that the combined effect certainly will be Pakistan's economic revival
adding improved relations with China will also contribute towards Pakistan 's
security in the changing regional geo-political environment.
All Day Pak financial system size increases to Rs 9.2 trn by June 2010 -- BR
Pak financial system size increases to Rs 9.2 trn by June 2010
KARACHI (updated on: 2010-12-14 16:30:32 PST):
Pakistan's financial system size, in terms of assets, increased to Rs 9.2 trillion by
end-June 2010 showing a robust growth of 20 percent from December 2008 level of
Rs 7.71 trillion.
According to State Bank's Financial Stability Review 2009-10, released here

Tuesday, the stability of the financial system is largely derived from the pre-
357
Tue
dominant position of the banking sector as other components of the financial
system continue to grow at a more gradual pace. Domestic banking sector assets
constitute 73.2 percent of total financial system assets.
The Report, which presents an assessment of financial stability for 2009 (CY09)
and the first half of 2010 (H1-CY10), is based on the theme of Role of Government
in the Financial Sector and assesses the government's developmental role in
enhancing the financial development in the country.
It said the bank deposits, which have a key contribution in maintaining financial
stability, grew by 13.5 percent in CY09, and 8.2 percent in H1-CY10, bringing the
total deposit of the banking system to Rs 5.1 trillion by end-June CY10. This bodes
well for enhancing prospects of financial stability, especially keeping in view the
slowdown in deposits growth in CY08.
The deposit growth is largely driven by the growth in home remittances of 23.9
percent (in USD terms), gradual economic recovery, and the substantial increase in
government borrowing, a portion of which flows back into the banking system in the
form of deposits, the report added.
The Report opined that healthy deposit growth is indicative of banks' resilience to
the competition from the National Savings Schemes (NSS), which generally offer a
higher rate of return than bank deposits.
It said that the pace of deterioration in the quality of advances slowed down
considerably as in CY09 Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) increased by 24.2 percent
to Rs 432 billion and further by 6.4 percent to Rs 460 billion by end-June CY10.
Going forward, NPLs remain a key cause of concern for the banking sector, it
added.
However, the Report noted that structural weaknesses in the process of revenue
generation, significant rigidities in government spending, expansion in quasi-fiscal
operations have added to the fiscal burden, which is increasingly financed from the
financial system.
It pointed out that the banks' exposure to the government increased significantly
during 2009 and in the first half of 2010, with particular concentration in the power
sector due to the ongoing issue of circular debt, and continued increase in lending
to public sector enterprises and commodity finance in general.

Talking to Radio Pakistan she highlighted the importance of Wen Jiabao's visit to
Pakistan and said that the visit is aimed at boosting ties in trade, energy and
investment sectors. China has expressed keen interest in solar, hydel and nuclear
energy sectors to address Pakistan's energy crises, she added.
She said that the visit is also aimed at developing an energy corridor linking Gwadar

In this situation China has become a soft balancing power too.
She said President Zardari's continuous visits to China were aimed at economic ties
and cooperation. China and Pakistan are developing strategic partnership keeping
the IAEA safeguards in view and in the backdrop of US-India nuclear deal, she
added.
Dr Shaheen Akhtar said that there are positive prospects of increasing bilateral

China and Pakistan will sign 20 agreements and Memorandums of Understanding

This was stated by China's ambassador to Pakistan Liu Jian in an interview to APP
here on Tuesday.
He said China's Premier Wen Jiabao and Pakistani leadership will hold wide
ranging discussions to draw a five year blueprint to expand their economic and
trade relations.
He said the top priority of the visit of Chinese Premier to Pakistan will be to further
solidify already strong strategic ties with medium and short term plans of action.
China's Premier Wen Jiabao will pay a three day official visit to Pakistan from
December 17 to 19.
This will be the second visit of the Chinese Prime Minister during which he will hold
talks with the Pakistani leadership on bilateral, regional and international issues of
mutual interest.
The ambassador said Wen Jiabao will be leading a large business delegation from
China. The delegation comprising more than 250 business leaders will attend a
business summit.
The two sides are expected to sign 20 Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs),

which will convey a message of growing ties, he added.
The ambassador said the visit will be of great significance as both countries will
emphasise on deepening and broadening their ties in multi-faceted fields.
"Pakistan and China are good friendly neighbours with long history of relations
spread over decades." Both countries will celebrate 60 years of their diplomatic
relations next year.
Liu Jian said not only governments of two countries have a growing strategic
partnership but their people are also coming closer with exchange of youth visits
and scholarships for each others students.
He said both sides are now aiming to take their ties to a new height by building up
on their remarkable mutual achievements in various areas including economy,
359
Tue
trade, investment, energy, communication, agriculture and defence production.
The ambassador said at present Pakistan is China's second largest trading partner
in South Asia and China is Pakistan's third largest trading partner, third largest
import source and fifth largest export market of Pakistan.
He said the bilateral trade was growing as in the first nine months of this year, the
volume grew by 29 percent as compared to last year and China's imports rose by
36 percent during the same period.
Calling ties of Pakistan and China as time tested and all weather, he said both
countries are playing a critical role for regional peace and stability.
He mentioned the assistance given by both countries to each other in the aftermath
of natural disasters.
China gave sincere and timely help to Pakistan during tragedy of floods and was
taking active part in the reconstruction phase, the envoy said.
He appreciated that political leadership of Pakistan will be together when Premier

Wen Jiabao will attend official events.
Liu Jian said the visit will prove to be a milestone and further consolidate Pak-Sino
relations.
He said China respects Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity and its system
of governance based on national traditions. All of Pakistani leadership is welcomed
to visit his country any time, he added. He said President Zardari has better
understanding of China as he shared experiences during his earlier six visits to
China. The ambassador said Pakistan made great endeavours and offered
sacrifices in the fight against terror and China respects its continuing efforts to
implement strategy against militancy.
Referring to the cooperation in energy sector, he said there are 120 ongoing
bilateral projects which will bring tangible benefits to the people of Pakistan.
The ambassador said besides meeting top leadership of Pakistan, Wen Jiabao will
interact with common people who contributed in strengthening bonds between the
two neighbours.
The talks will also focus on enhancing people to people contacts and increasing the
number of scholarships.

Six China provinces to have Russia-sized GDP by 2020
BEIJING (updated on: 2010-12-14 11:50:06 PST):
The economies of six provinces in China will be as big as those of Russia or
Canada by 2020, a study has shown, highlighting the challenges faced by Beijing
as it tries to cool the red-hot economy.
Describing its forecast as conservative, British banking giant HSBC said China
would resemble a "collection of second-tier developed world and leading developing
countries" by the end of the next decade.
"Sizzling growth should continue for at least another five years," analyst Zhang
Zhiming said in a report titled "Inside the Growth Engine" and published this month.
Zhang forecast six provinces would have annual gross domestic product worth
more than one trillion dollars by 2020 -- roughly equal to the economies of Russia,
360
Tue
Canada, Australia, and South Korea.
The fast-growing provinces were the southern manufacturing hub of Guangdong,

Hebei in the north, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the east and Henan in the
centre.
The World Bank expects China's entire economy to grow 10 percent this year
before slowing to 8.7 percent in 2011 -- well above the government's oft-stated full-
year target of eight percent.
But provincial growth rates could be much higher as local officials seeking to
improve their career prospects try to impress their bosses, Zhang said.
"Local governments have managed to beat Beijing's growth targets by a few

percentage points every year since 1980," Zhang said.

China will be requested to revive refinery project
ZAFAR BHUTTA
ISLAMABAD (December 15, 2010) : Pakistan will request Chinese Prime Minister
Wen Jiabao to revive Coastal Oil Refinery project at Gwadar in Balochistan which
was shelved in 2009-10 due to China's declaration of the province as a no-go area
for Chinese nationals, sources in the Petroleum Ministry told Business Recorder.
According to official documents the reason for the Chinese government's decision
to abandon projects in Balochistan is slow progress and economic recession.
The proposed project was part of China's plan to invest $12 billion in multiple
schemes in Pakistan. During former president Pervez Musharraf's visit to China in
February 2006, China had expressed interest in constructing an oil refinery in
Gwadar with the capacity to refine 60,000 barrels crude oil per day.
If the Pakistan government succeeds in convincing China to restart the oil refinery
project the country would have two refineries as UAE state run International
Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) has also expressed interest in setting up
Khalifa oil refinery in the country on which work is suspended due to the
controversy with Pakistan government over the extension of the Managing Director
of Pak-Arab Refinery (Parco) Rasheed Jung's tenure.
Pakistan is ready to offer incentives to lure the Chinese back to Balochistan: 20-
year tax holiday and waiver of one percent Workers Profit Participation Fund
(WPPF) to set up Coastal Refinery is also part of the incentives. The Chinese
companies will be urged to participate in oil and gas exploration activities either
separately or in a joint venture with Oil and Gas Development Company Limited
(OGDCL).
Pakistan and China are expected to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)

on energy co-operation during Prime Minister Jiabao's visit scheduled for 17-19
December 2010. Pakistan and China had also considered a feasibility study for an
oil pipeline from Gwadar port to western China to link it to the Persian Gulf. This
proposal was shelved after China's withdrawal from the coastal oil refinery project.
"Now the proposal for oil pipeline will also be discussed," sources added.

A Pakistan charter airline, Rayyan Air, operated the first 90-minute flight, the Asia

The Islamabad-Kashgar air cargo route was opened last week.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao is due to visit Pakistan for a strategic dialogue from

Beijing has also agreed this month to extend cooperation in 36 development

projects worth 13.2 billion dollars to boost economic activity in flood-hit areas of
Pakistan.
Kashgar, located near the borders of Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan,

Wed
Afghanistan and India, is well placed to become an important air logistics base.
Cargo shipped between China and Pakistan has so far mostly gone by truck across
a border closed from the end of December to May each year due to the severe
winter climate.
The air cargo service will make products of the two countries available the year
round and make markets in Central Asian states more accessible for Pakistan.
It will also augment Beijing's efforts to develop the western regions of China,
including Xinjiang, home to Muslim Uyghurs, helped by better communication with
projects such as an extension of high-speed train services from the eastern part of
the country.
Kashgar was recently given the status of a special economic zone and it is hoped it
will become a major trade and transport hub. (ANI)

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao is going to open a branch of Industrial and
Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), the top private bank of China during his visit to
Pakistan starting from Friday.
The ICBC is the world's biggest bank by capitalization.
According to an article from a Chinese scholar published here in an English daily

ahead of Premier Wen visit to all weather ally, by the end of this year, the trade
between China and Pakistan will be worth $7 billion, with an annual growth rate of
29 percent.
The growth rate of trade between the two countries is expected to grow by over 30
percent over the next five years and the trade volume could increase to $18 billion.
But the level of economic cooperation does not reflect the close and lasting political
and military ties between the two countries, writes Li Xiguang, a professor of
Tsinghua University, Beijing.
"We are all-weather political allies. Since September 2008, Pakistani President
Zardari came to China almost every four month, beating any heads of state in terms
of frequency of visiting China," said Pakistan's ambassador to China, Massood
Khan,
"China has a very positive image in Pakistan. We support China's policy on Tibet,
Xinjiang and human rights," said Khan.
"But we also need to have an all-weather highway between our two countries," he
said. Two years ago, Chinese and Pakistani engineers and road builders started
extending the width of the Karakorum Highway from 10 meters to 30 meters.
Chinese engineers have completed a feasibility study for the building of a railroad
and an oil pipeline to link Kashi in Xinjiang and Gawadar in Pakistan's Balochistan
Province at the mouth of Gulf.
Sixty percent of China's imported oil comes from the Middle East and 80 percent of
that transported to China through the Straits of Malacca.
With the construction of the Kashi-Gawadar railroad and oil pipeline, Gawadar, a
warm-water and deep-sea port, will handle most of the oil tankers to China.

Gilani for Chinese help in making Gwadar Port effective
Thursday, December 16, 2010
By our correspondent
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Wednesday hinted at
expanded cooperation with China, including a plan to make the Gwadar Port fully
operational with Chinese assistance.
“We will discuss with China the mechanism to make the Gwadar Port operational
during the visit of the Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao,” said the prime minister
in an interaction with editors, columnists, anchorpersons and senior correspondents
here at the Prime Minister’s House.
During his 40-minute interaction, the prime minister focused on the Chinese Prime
Minister Wen Jiabao’s visit to Pakistan and did not discuss the latest political
situation.
At the outset, Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira made it clear that this
interaction would focus on the Chinese prime minister’s visit to Pakistan. “You want
to say that they should not ask questions about the ministers,” the PM quipped.
In response to a question regarding Wen’s visit to India prior to Pakistan, the prime
minister said Pakistan would welcome a Chinese role in bringing Pakistan and India
to the negotiation table, as Islamabad desires friendly relations with all its
neighbours. “We appreciate their improved ties with India,” he said.
He said Pakistan and China enjoyed time-tested relations marked by similarity of

views and support for each other in all international fora, so their relations could not
be compared with any other country.
The prime minister said Pakistan had offered trilateral trade among Pakistan, China
and Afghanistan to enhance regional trade. Asked about the possibility of a civil
nuclear deal with China, he said there was ongoing cooperation between Pakistan
and China on civil nuclear energy. He said Tuesday’s meeting of the NCA had
reiterated that Pakistan would not accept any discriminatory approach towards the

PM Gilani said the government and the people of Pakistan were looking forward to
the visit of Premier Wen Jiabao as it would strengthen the already existing all-
weather, historic and strategic friendship between the two countries.
The Chinese premier, besides holding meetings and wide-ranging talks with the
Pakistani leadership and interaction with the Pakistani businessmen and
entrepreneurs, will also address the joint sitting of parliament.
Asked about details of the agreements that will be signed with China during the
visit, the prime minister referred the question to Pakistan’s Ambassador to China
Masood Khan, who said that 13-14 MOUs would be signed between the two
governments.
Prime Minister Gilani said developing and further enhancing its relationship with
China was the cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign policy, as Pak-China ties — the
seeds of which were sown by Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Chinese leaders Mao
Ze Dong and Chu En Lai — were growing with cooperation in diverse fields.
“History is a testimony to strong Pak-China relationship.” He said the people of
Pakistan would never forget the generous support and assistance of China after the
2005 earthquake and again during the recent devastating floods.
He hailed the Chinese help and assistance in the construction of the Karakoram
Highway. He said Pakistan had declared the year 2011 as Pak-China Friendship
Year. He said Pakistan and China would strengthen their defence, cultural,
educational, energy relations.

All Day Another milestone in Pak-China ties -- Observer

Another milestone in Pak-China ties
Dr Raja Muhammad Khan
The three days visit of Chinese Premier Mr. Wen Jiabao, has attained another
milestone in the history of bi-lateral relationship of Pakistan and China. This visit is
indeed of a unique significance, as it covers all aspects viz; the strategic, political
and economic. During the visit, Premier Wen Jiabao made sure that he meets all
stakeholders in Pakistan. Apart from the traditional meetings with the President and
Prime Minister, Chinese Premier met with leaders of all political parties of Pakistan.
Rather, it was a rare mosaic of Pakistani political, religious, and territorial leadership
gathering to welcome their all time friend in Islamabad. This gathering was
indicative of the fact that, there exists no second opinion about Pakistan’s
relationship with the People’s Republic of China. No global leader ever has such a
reception and united response and indeed a spirit of love from Pakistan ever.
Premier also had a detail meeting with the Armed Forces heads under Chairman
Joint Chief of Staff Committee and assured further enhancement in the ongoing
cooperation in the field of defence. Premier Wen Jiabao declared that, “Beijing
would never give up on Pakistan.”
Following the establishment of Pak-China diplomatic relationship in May 1951, both

countries has attained many milestones in their bi-lateral relationship. Pakistan,
otherwise among the first few countries, which recognized this great communist
state, proved its friendship by making strong lobby in getting the UN membership
for China. The initial slow pace of mutual understanding got an impetus following
the Sino-India war of 1962. In the era of Field Martial Muhammad Ayub, then
Foreign Minister (later Prime Minister), Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto formalised this
relationship on the strategic direction. Through his strategic vision, he made Pak-
China relationship as an essential and never changing pillar of the Foreign Policy of
Pakistan. The same vision exists even today and Pakistan maintained it as an
inalienable part of its diplomatic relationship.
China has always appreciated its deep-rooted friendship with Pakistan and
acknowledges Pakistan’s untiring efforts for getting her closer to United States in
early 1970s. Indeed, through this collaboration during the peak days of the cold war,
Pakistan lessened the tension, previously existed between US and the China.
Following this collaboration, China got an opening and diplomatic and trade excess
into the Western world, whereas, US got a Communist friend in Asia. In a way,
Pakistan proved its significance and vision as a broker of international facilitator if
not mediator. Thereafter, Chinese markets and goods were introduced at the global
level and its economy started prospering to a level of second to US only in the
contemporary world today. For the United States, this was the first moral and
diplomatic pre-eminence over former Soviet Union.
During the visit of Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, Pakistan and China concluded
economic deals worth $35 billion in total. These deals include; 17 agreements, four
memorandum of understanding (MoU) and a joint venture. This indeed is a new
record of the economic deals and agreements in the history of traditional friends.
Both Premiers attended the Pak-China Business Cooperation summit, participated
by 260 Chinese delegates with their 150 Pakistani counterparts. On this occasion,
Chinese Premier, reiterated his resolve to enhance the bilateral trade with Pakistan
370
Mon
in the coming years in a bid to improve the flow of investments between both
countries.” He said that, “his country would increase investment in Gwadar Port.
The port currently being administered by Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) was
constructed by China in 2006. Chinese Premier promised that his country would
remove the trade barrier between Pakistan and China by improving trade
infrastructure and promoting Pakistani exports to his country.
Earlier Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani, appreciated Chinese investment in

Pakistan, especially in the energy sector of Pakistan. Prime Minister Gillani said
that, “We would encourage Chinese companies to consider investments in the
energy sector, which assures certain returns. Our energy requirements are
expected to increase from 20,000MWs to more than 160,000MWs by the year
2030.” In fact Pakistan is not a resource deficient country, but problem lies with the
technical expertise, infrastructure development and finances. Today, apart from
huge amount of unexplored oil and gas, ““Pakistan has 185 billion tonnes of coal
reserves, which would be converted into energy to satisfy Pakistan’s growing
demand.” Besides, Pakistan welcome, Chinese experts for the exploration of its oil
and gas resources. Prime Minister assured Chinese investors for special economic
incentives like; “duty-free import of plant and machinery, exemption from sales tax
and income tax.” Pakistan and China are already working for the development of
the Pak-China Trade Corridor along the Karakoram Highway (KKH). In this regard,
the highway is being upgraded and lying of a railway track along the KKH is in
progress. Upon development of this overland route, there would be further boost to
the economic relationship. Pakistan is otherwise becoming a hub for the oil and gas
from Central Asia and Middle East. With the improvement of communication
infrastructure, oil and gas from these regions can easily be transported to the
Chinese territories either through oil tankers or through an overland gas pipeline.
Premier Gillani assured his counterpart for the safety of Chinese nationals working
in Pakistan. He said, “Besides a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement and the
Joint Five Year Economic Programme, we are now jointly endeavouring to establish
closer financial and banking sector cooperation.”
Chinese Premier also addressed the Joint Session of the Pakistani Parliament,
indeed, a unique honour for a dignitary as well as the host itself. He assured
Pakistan that, China supports Pakistani point of view/ stand on Kashmir issue.
Kashmiri must get their right of self-determination as per UN resolutions. China
indeed, rejects all Indian assertions of betraying Pak-China relationship and
regional domination by India. China does not support Indian case for a permanent
membership of UNSC. China also assured Pakistan for its full supports on Pakistani
position on the Afghan issue. The visit truly proved that Pak-China relationship is
higher than mountains and deeper than oceans.

Oman accepts Pak proposal for maritime trade, Gwadar-Muscat ferry
MUSCAT (Oman): Oman on Tuesday expressed willingness over Pakistan’s

proposal to initiate ferry service and maritime trade as it would go a long way in
generating economic activity and contributing to the progress and prosperity of the
two countries.
Minister for Ports and Shipping Babar Ghouri says that Oman also agreed on closer
collaboration between the ports of Pakistan and Oman and said it would open new
avenues of trade and business besides generating economic activity in the region.
The Minister said the cooperation between the port of Gwadar and Oman’s
upcoming ports in Sahhar and Dukkum would create new opportunities for the
traders and skilled professionals of two countries to explore the trading potential.
The Minister said Pakistan would provide every facility to Oman’s private sector to
run a ferry service between Gwadar and Muscat. He said Pakistan’s skilled work-
force had a great demand in Oman, as around 175,000 Pakistanis were already
contributing towards Oman’s economy.
He said the skilled Pakistani manpower was acting as a bridge not only in
cementing the trade ties between the two countries but also bringing equal
dividends to the two economies.
Minister of State for Ports and Shipping Nabil Gabol said that the two countries had
historical and bilateral relations with decades old economic ties. He described talks
between the two countries as very positive and said both identified new
opportunities.

Speech by Ambassador Liu Jian at the 2011 "China-Pakistan Friendship Year" and
New Year Reception
2011/01/03
Your Excellency Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi,
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good evening!
First of all, I would like to thank H.E. Asif Ali Zardari, President of Pakistan and H. E.
Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani, Prime Minister of Pakistan, for their encouraging and
inspiring congratulatory letters on the occasion of commencement of the "China-
Pakistan Friendship Year". I would also like to thank all of you for being with us
tonight. Today is of special significance. It is the first day of the year 2011. It is also
the first day of the "China-Pakistan Friendship Year" where we will jointly celebrate
the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two
countries. On this fantastic occasion, I am more than pleased to launch the "China-
Pakistan Friendship Year" and greet the year 2011 together with all of you at the
newly inaugurated Pakistan-China Friendship Center which symbolizes our all-
weather friendship in the new era.
The year 2010 just passed witnessed a continued stable and vigorous growth of the
China-Pakistan strategic partnership of cooperation. Recently, as the screen
showed, Chinese premier Wen Jiabao paid a successful and historic official visit to
Pakistan. The premier made broad contact with Pakistan leadership as well as
people from all circles. The two sides reached broad consensus on further
consolidating and deepening the China-Pakistan all-weather strategic cooperative
partnership. We signed the China-Pakistan Joint Statement and announced the
establishment of the leaders' annual meeting mechanism and the foreign ministers'
dialogue mechanism. The two governments signed over 10 cooperation documents
covering economy, technology, energy, finance, culture and other fields. Premier
Wen Jiabao announced a package of plans for China's involvement in Pakistan's
reconstruction efforts and China's new assistance initiatives. The business of our
two countries signed 20 commercial contracts valued at more than $10 billion
showcasing the huge potential for bilateral economic and trade cooperation.
Chinese premier Wen Jiabao's productive and successful visit is of great
significance to further consolidating and deepening the traditional friendship and
pragmatic cooperation between our two countries.
I would like to point out that the Pakistan government and people welcomed
Premier Wen Jiabao with great warmth and enthusiasm. The extensive involvement
of the Pakistan people from all walks of life is a vivid depiction of the brotherly
friendship that they have towards the Chinese people. It impressed the Premier's
entourage and all the Chinese. I would like to take this opportunity to express our
sincere gratitude to the people of our two countries who have been engaged, either
directly or indirectly, in the preparation and reception work of this historic visit. I
would also like to extend our highly appreciation to all the friends who have always
been dedicated to the China-Pakistan friendship.
Over the past 60 years since we established diplomatic relations, our two countries
have developed an all-weather friendship and conducted multi-dimensional
cooperation. In the face of a volatile international situation, the China-Pakistan
376

friendship remains as strong and solid as a rock standing firm despite the passage
of time. This is only because we always respect each other, highly trust each other,
and wholeheartedly help each other. The two peoples, sharing weal and woe, have
made passage together in hard times and written a number of touching chapters in
our history. In 2008, when a massive earthquake struck China's Wenchuan,
Pakistan gave all its tents in reserve and provided swift emergency assistance to
us. The Chinese people will never forget it. Last year, when Pakistan was hit by the
catastrophic floods, the Chinese government and people felt as much pain as our
Pakistan brothers did and offered timely, sincere, unconditional help to Pakistan in
an unprecedented manner. As Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao elaborated in his
speech at the Pakistan parliament during his recent visit, the China-Pakistan
friendship has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the two peoples. It is in our blood,
and has become our noble and firm conviction. A close neighbor means more than
a distant relative. China and Pakistan will always be good neighbors, close friends,
trusted partners and dear brothers.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations
between China and Pakistan. During his recent visit, Premier Wen Jiabao and
Prime Minister Gilani jointly announced the year 2011 as the "China-Pakistan
Friendship Year". To celebrate this historic occasion, the two sides, based on the
consensus reached between the two leaders, will hold a series of wonderful
commemorative activities covering fields like politics, economy, culture, education,
sports, military and others. We all believe that such activities will definitely further

Year long celebrations of Pak-China friendship starts
ISLAMABAD, Jan 2 (APP): Year long celebrations on the occasion of 60 years of
diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China commenced here last night with a
function held at Pak-China Friendship Centre at a colourful ceremony attended by a
large number of Pakistanis and Chines nationals. Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood
Qureshi was the chief guest on the occasion while the launching ceremony of
Pakistan-China Friendship year 2011 was attended by Chief of Naval Staff Noman
Bashir, diplomats, members of the federal cabinet, politicians, business community
representatives, Chinese working in Pakistan and elite of the federal capital.
The ceremony was jointly hosted by Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Chinese
Embassy at Pakistan-China Friendship Centre which has built by China and
donated to Pakistan as symbol of everlasting friendship.
The diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China established in January 1950
when Pakistan recognized China while Pakistan opened its embassy on May 21,
1951.
Inaugurating the year long celebrations, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi
said Pakistan and China enjoy excellent political and diplomatic relations and time
has come to take a leap forward to bind the two nations together economically in all
the fields.
The Foreign Minister said there was tremendous goodwill and trust between the two
countries and they can move towards economic integration.
He said the present government is concentrating on economic diplomacy as
national security and territorial integrity are closely linked to economic strength.
Qureshi pointed out that despite some of the economic difficulties because of
security situation and fight against extremism and terrorism, Pakistan is recognized
internationally as emerging economy with great potential to grow and prosper.
The Foreign Minister said Pakistan and China are cooperating with each other in a
number of fields including economy, trade, energy, infrastructure and defence.
“The two countries have unanimity of views on regional and international issues,
they support each other at international fora and their defence cooperation is
progressing satisfactorily,” he said.
He pointed out that the process of economic integration between the two countries
was somewhat limited but there is scope and potential to enhance it manifold.
He acknowledged that China has invested billions of dollars in many projects in
Pakistan.
The minister said there are thirteen thousand Chinese engineers and workers in
Pakistan contributing to the socio-economic development of the country.
He said the two countries have signed a number of agreements including the one
relating to currency swap that will help broaden the economic interaction and
achieve target of fifteen billion dollars bilateral trade by 2015.
Qureshi also expressed the confidence that the decision to open branches of the
largest Chinese bank in Karachi and Islamabad would facilitate Chinese investment
in Pakistan.
Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Liu Jian speaking on the occasion expressed the
confidence that strategic relationship between the two countries would continue to
grow.
He said the Chinese Premier paid a very successful visit to Pakistan recently which
would help forge ties between the two countries.
The Chinese ambassador said the Pakistani government and people welcomed
Premier Wen Jiabao with great warmth and enthusiasm.
He said in the last 60 years, since the establishment of diplomatic relations, the two
countries have developed an all weather friendship and conducted multi-
dimensional cooperation in different fields.
The Chinese ambassador said despite volatile international situation, the China-
Pakistan friendship remained as strong and solid as a rock standing firm despite the
passage of time.
“This is only because we always respect each other, highly trust each other, and
wholeheartedly help each other,” he said.
He said while celebrating the 2011 as year of friendship, both the countries will hold
a series of wonderful commemorative activities covering fields like politics,
economy, culture, education, sports, military and others.

On this occasion, a photographic exhibition was also organized depicting different
aspects of bilateral relations including high level exchanges, people-to-people
contacts, sharing of hard times and participation of China in the economic
development of Pakistan.
In his inaugural remarks, Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir said this year also
marks establishment of diplomatic representation between the two capitals as
Pakistan recognized China in January 1950.
He also read out on the occasion messages addressed by President Asif Ali Zardari
and Prime Minister Syed Yusaf Raza Gilani to their Chinese counterparts on
launching of the friendship year.
In their messages the two leaders expressed determination to take this friendship
and partnership to new heights.
Salman Bashir, who had been Pakistan’s ambassador to China said, “I and my
family will never forget the kindness, love and affection that we received from our
Chinese friends during my stay there.”
He said Pakistan-China friendship is legendary a fascinating romance between two
peoples, deeply rooted in national ethos, since times immemorial.
Salman Bashir said, the leadership, the Government, the Armed Forces and, above
all, the people of Pakistan and China are united in their resolve to safeguard their
national interests, uphold national dignity and frustrate and defeat any evil designs
against their motherland.
He said, “Our two peoples will continue to march, hand-in-hand, on the high road to
peace and prosperity.”
Later a cultural show, depicting folk songs of different areas of Pakistan were
presented on this occasion to start the year long celebrations. Chinese cultural

All Day China’s ‘all-weather friendship’ with Pakistan: Implications for India --
IDSA COMMENT
IDSA COMMENT
China’s ‘all-weather friendship’ with Pakistan: Implications for India
R N Das
January 4, 2011
China’s balancing act in its diplomatic posturing in the sub-continent was evident
when Premier Wen Jiabao flew to Pakistan for a three-day visit after concluding his
three-day India visit in December 2010. While there are discernable changes in
China’s foreign policy, friendship with Pakistan has remained a constant. The only
other exception is with respect to Beijing’s relationship with Pyongyang. So deep is
the all-weather friendship between China and Pakistan that the visit of Premier Wen
to India and Pakistan was declared almost simultaneously in Beijing, in deference to
Pakistan’s sensitivities. It was Wen’s second visit to both countries in the last five
years, though there was a difference this time around. During his previous visit in
2005, New Delhi was Wen’s last port of call out of the four nations that he visited,
while this time New Delhi preceded Islamabad. This simply cannot be a mere
coincidence, but planned and consciously scheduled.
In view of the importance of Premier Wen’s visit to Pakistan, it is imperative to

analyse its achievements and significance. The high point of the visit was the
honour extended to the Chinese Premier to address Pakistan’s Parliament, an
honour that India had offered to President Barack Obama during the latter’s visit to
India in November. In a country where the military wields considerable clout, the
Pakistani offer was more of a symbolic gesture than a substantive one. In his
address entitled ‘Shaping the future together through thick and thin,’ Premier Wen
used the phrase “brothers forever” to describe the relationship between the two
countries. He went on to note that “China-Pakistan friendship is full of vigour and
vitality, like a lush tree, with deep roots and thick foliage.” And he added that
“China-Pakistan relationship is strong and solid, like a rock standing firm despite the
pressure of time.”1 Besides reinforcing the strategic commitment to Pakistan, a
number of important announcements were made during this address. Premier Wen
also recalled Pakistan’s consistent and full support to China in the past at some
crucial junctures on various issues, including Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang.
It is worthwhile to recall in this context India’s role and contributions at a very critical
time when China was seeking admission to the United Nations. When the Korean
War broke out in 1950, India voted in favour of the United Nations action against the
North, but when China entered the Korean war India resisted the condemnation of
China as an aggressor by the General Assembly of the United Nations in order not
to enlarge the area of hostility. In its efforts to bring about a settlement, India served
as a channel of communication of Chinese intentions and requirements to the
outside world, and consistently pressed for the recognition of the People’s Republic
of China as the rightful representative in the United Nations. Further, in September
1951, India declined to attend the Conference at San Francisco for the conclusion
of a peace treaty with Japan because, among other reasons, China was not a party
to it.2 Beijing should not forget these Indian efforts.
If the achievements of Premier Wen’s visit to India were more pronounced in terms
of economic content, his visit to Pakistan was more characterised by political and
strategic significance. Although China has been helping Pakistan in all fields,
particularly in its defence modernization and development including the nuclear
programme, its recent help in mitigating the flurry of floods in Pakistan was
unprecedented in its volume and magnitude, and suggests the depth of the
strategic relationship between the two countries. China had offered about $ 250
million worth of aid to Pakistan. As part of the aid, China sent a team of experts to
the PoK region in November last year, as claimed by China, to help Pakistan
expedite its reconstruction work. An article in China Daily claimed that the aid to
Pakistan has created many records in the history of China’s aid and relief work in
other countries.3 The Chinese claim of humanitarian assistance to Pakistan has,
however, been taken with a pinch of salt by the western media.4
382
Tue
One more important announcement came when Premier Wen declared that China
had decided to provide 500 government scholarships to Pakistan in the next three
years, and that 100 Pakistani high-school students will be invited to participate in
the Chinese Bridge Summer-Camp in China. Wen also said that China may explore
the possibility of a currency-swap agreement with Pakistan. During his visit the two
sides also signed 35 new pacts, expected to bring $30 billion of investment into
Pakistan over the next five years.
China’s adversarial relationship with India has been one of the important factors in
its all-weather friendship with Pakistan. Such an intimate relationship between the
two had developed at a time when China’s global profile had not developed to the
extent that is discernable now. Over the years, Sino-Indian relationship has also
matured to a greater degree of engagement. China is now projecting itself as a
responsible global power, beyond the sub-continent and the region. One can
fathom China’s primordial commitment to Pakistan and China’s imperative need for
Pakistan’s support to rein in Muslim separatists operating in China-Pakistan border
in the Uygur region, but China needs to calibrate its relationship with Pakistan in the
context of these changes and in such a manner so as not to arouse any misgivings
in New Delhi. Although India has expressed concerns about China’s engagement in
infrastructural projects in PoK and about Beijing’s support for Pakistan’s nuclear
weapons programme, the Sino-Indian relationship has acquired an independent
dynamism and is not hamstrung by the all-weather friendship between China and
Pakistan. Neither should Beijing have any anxiety about India’s strategic
relationship with the United States with which China itself has a deeper all-round
engagement and cooperation. An important issue which needs to be noted is that
while the Pakistani foreign minister was quoted as saying that China’s position is
‘clear about Kashmir’, the Chinese Premier seems to have maintained a studied
silence on the Kashmir issue. This prompted an editorial in an important English
daily which commented that “Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani may have been
fishing for a Chinese role in facilitating dialogue with India on Kashmir but it is
apparent that Beijing is keen to reiterate its neutrality on the issue.” If the lofty goals
of the Asian century are to be realized in full measure, the giants - China and
India – need to correct the trust deficit between them and forge better
understanding and cooperation.

All Day Pipeline and regional stability -- Pak Tribune
Pipeline and regional stability
Wednesday January 05, 2011 (1718 PST)
The long-awaited gas pipeline agreement TAPI was signed in December 2010 by
the heads of Turkmenistan, Pakistan and Afghanistan and the Indian PNG Minister,
Murli Deora, in Ashgabat. This marks a new era of pipeline diplomacy between the
energy-rich Central and the energy-deficient South Asia for resources.
The Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) is a natural gas pipeline being

developed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) at an estimated cost of $7.6
billion. It will transport Caspian Sea natural gas from Turkmenistan through
Afghanistan into Pakistan and then India. The gas supply is expected to start by the
end of 2014 or early 2015, as stipulated in the agreement. The 1,680-kilometre
pipeline will run from the Dauletabad gas field, in Turkmenistan, to supply 33 billion
cubic meters gas to Afghanistan, and then through Quetta and Multan in Pakistan.
The final destination of the pipeline will be the Indian town of Fazilka, near the
border between Pakistan and India. Under the agreement, both the countries will
get 42 percent of the supply quota, while the remaining would be given to
Afghanistan.
By and large, TAPI is expected to boost the economies of all the four participating
countries and would promote cooperation among these states. Further, it is a vital
project for the development and progress of the region, and serve the cause of
maintaining peace in South and Central Asia. Thus, the four countries need to take
concrete steps to make it a reality, specifically because of their economic interests.
It would provide revenue and diversification of export routes for Turkmenistan. For
Pakistan and India, it would address energy deficits, while the potential for export to
other countries through the Pakistan’s Gwadar Port is an added advantage. In
Afghanistan, it would provide revenue for development and gas for industrial
enterprises. At the same time, the deal is consistent with the US declared policy of
linking Central and South Asia and diversifying export routes for the Turkmen gas.
Another significance of the project is that a large number of human resources would
be recruited for the construction of the pipeline, and thereafter on monitoring,
storage, and other related assignments. According to estimates, more than 12,000
jobs will be created for the Afghan people, only during its construction. In the long
run, it would provide direct and indirect employment opportunities to the people of
all the four countries, thus substantially reducing unemployment in these countries.
Apart from this positive aspect, especially for the countries like Pakistan and
Afghanistan, the project would bring a huge amount of the transit fee, as the
pipeline covers long stretches through the Pak-Afghan territories – only Kabul could
reap $1.4 billion a year.
The project is, indeed, the first formal effort for linking the energy rich Central Asia
with the energy deficient South Asia. Moreover, it would provide an outlet to the
land-locked Central Asian Republics (CARs) through a shortest possible route for
the rest of the world.
Besides, a lot of hope for the economic prosperity TAPI is expected to bring in,
there are fears linked with its completion. The gas pipeline will pass through some
Taliban-dominated areas in Afghanistan. TAPI member countries, and the ADB,
have shown concern over the security of the pipeline in these areas, and also some
areas of Pakistan that are frequently hit by the terrorists. Since Afghanistan and
Pakistan are facing the menace of terrorism, construction cannot begin unless
concrete measures are adopted to put an end to the unrest, which mainly requires a
political solution rather than military one.
As decided, TAPI’s construction will start by 2012, while all the member states hope
to complete by the end of 2014. But many believe it is not possible because of the
security concerns in Afghanistan, and Pakistan’s FATA and Balochistan. However,
since the demand for energy in both India and Pakistan is increasing, they have no
option except to complete it.
385
Wed
Pakistan’s gas requirement is increasing annually by 10 percent; therefore, TAPI is

considered vital for fulfilling its growing energy requirement. In addition, it has
welcomed India’s participation in the project. Pakistan will receive up to $700 million
royalty a year, as a transiting state supplying gas to India.
For Afghanistan too TAPI is very important and it will be the biggest project in the
country. That is why the Karzai government has shown its resolve to deploy five to
seven thousand security forces to safeguard its route. Kabul seems to have the
political will and a powerful economic incentive to keep the Taliban away from TAPI.
In this regard, the ongoing efforts of President Hamid Karzai for the reconciliation
and reintegration of the Taliban needs further momentum.
Prior to TAPI, the Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) gas pipeline agreement was signed,
despite USA’s opposition. Islamabad is still not ready to abandon IPI because of its
severe energy crisis, which is a legitimate reason to undertake multiple energy
projects. India too has not shelved IPI, but it is concerned about the security in
Pakistan.
Anyway, both Pakistan and India are energy-deficient countries; they need to do
what is in their best interest. So, the economic dependence of Turkmenistan,
Afghanistan, Pakistan and India on each other for energy resources is likely to
improve bilateral ties among them, which will ultimately add to regional stability.

All Day China's western push strengthens Pakistan links -- ((Important Article))
China's western push strengthens Pakistan links
Ananth Krishnan
China and Pakistan are expected to discuss long-pending plans to accelerate

construction of rail-lines and a pipeline from Kashgar in China's west to the port of
Gwadar on the Persian Gulf, during Premier Wen Jiabao's three-day visit to
Islamabad which began on Friday.
The Silk Road oasis town of Kashgar, which lies a few hours away from the
Pakistan border along the Karakoram Highway, is at the centre of China's plans to
develop its restive Muslim-majority Xinjiang region, which neighbours Pakistan.
China has recently announced it will build a trading hub in the city, which will serve
as a platform for Beijing to deepen economic and strategic links with energy-rich
West and Central Asia.
The plan, officials and analysts say, is bringing new importance to Beijing's ties with
Islamabad, given that Pakistan will play a crucial role, both from the point of view of
diplomacy and simply, geography, in linking China with Afghanistan and West Asia.
"One of the most important reasons why we value our relations with Pakistan is that
the country can play the role of a bridge between China and the Muslim world,” Hu
Shisheng, a scholar at the China Institutes for Contemporary International Relations
(CICIR) told The Hindu in a recent interview ahead of Mr. Wen's visit.
Kashgar's transformation from an ancient Silk Road town to a modern trading hub is
gathering pace, said Muhammed Ahmed Khan of the Kashgar-based Pakistan
Business and Investment Promotion Council, in an interview during a visit to the city
earlier this year.
When Mr. Khan, a trader from Rawalpindi, first moved to the sleepy oasis town,
business was hard to come by. The long drive to Kashgar through the Karakoram
highway, from the town of Gilgit in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), posed
numerous obstacles – flooding, stray boulders and weathered roads - and kept
most businessmen away.
But a decade on, that trickle of businessmen has grown into a flood, Mr. Khan says.
The Pakistani community in the city is growing. "The Chinese are welcoming more
and more Pakistanis to put in long-term investments here," says Liaqat Ali of the
Gilgit-based 7 Brothers trading company, who makes the three-day drive to
Kashgar twice a year through the Karakoram.
The view from the window of Mr. Khan's modest office, located along a dusty
highway in Kashgar's suburbs, shows a city in the throes of transformation.
Trucks carrying construction equipment clog the roads, as construction cranes work
day and night to transform the historic old town into a sprawling Economic
Development Zone — the “Shenzhen of the West”, as one Chinese official says,
referring to China's first Special Economic Zone.
The investments, say Chinese analysts, indicate China's long-term intentions to

strengthen economic links in the region.
Chinese engineers in Kashgar have recently completed a feasibility study for the
building of a railroad and an oil pipeline, according to Li Xuguang of Tsinghua
University.
Sixty per cent of China’s imported oil comes from West Asia. The construction of a
pipeline from the port at Gwadar, which is being built by China, will reduce Chinese
dependence on the narrow Malacca Straits, through which 80 per cent of China’s
supplies pass. “It will provide China with the shortest possible route to the oil-rich
Middle East, replacing the dangerous maritime route through the South China Sea,
East China Sea and the Yellow Sea,” Mr. Li wrote in the Global Times this week.
387
Thu
The plans have been accelerated since July 2009, when ethnic unrest in Xinjiang,
between native Uighurs and China’s majority Han Chinese who have migrated to
the region, left at least 197 dead. “After July, China will carry forward plans to build
a new economic development zone in Kashgar, as part of modified development
policies in the frontier region,” Mr. Hu said.
"Accompanying this kind of development in western regions, we value our relations

with external surrounding regions, specially in the west, a lot, in terms of
development, security and stability.”
Pakistan’s renewed importance was recently evident, according to Mr. Hu, after the
floods in Pakistan last year. “That is why this year after the unprecedented foods in
Pakistan we donated about $ 250 million,” he said. “This kind of assistance never
happened in China’s history before.”

Gwadar port's unrealised potential
EDITORIAL (January 10, 2011) : Talking to journalists the other day, the
Balochistan Chief Minister, Nawab Aslam Raisani, made a strong plea for using the
Gwadar Port for Afghan Transit Trade. He said that he had asked the 'relevant
authorities' to supply fuel to the Nato forces in Afghanistan through this port, and
that the provincial government is ready to provide security to Nato supplies.
Mindful of the fact that the roads are in disrepair - according to him, because of
heavy Nato containers and oil tankers movement along the route - he said that Nato
countries would need to invest $1.5 billion in road construction for easy
transportation of oil to Afghanistan via Gwadar.
The Chief Minister obviously is concerned about the underutilisation of the port,
which has a great potential to serve as a regional transit hub, creating substantial
business and employment opportunities in the province. Unfortunately, the project
has failed to take-off in a big way. Two major hurdles have hindered its progress.
One is an unsavoury controversy surrounding the awarding of operating rights
contract to the Port of Singapore Authority. The other problem, as the CM pointed
out, pertains to the poor state of roads connecting the port to the Chaman border
crossing into Afghanistan.
Considering that the US and its allies are committed to start troop drawdown in July
this year, his suggestion that the Nato countries invest as much as $1.5 billion in the
construction of roads sounds rather unrealistic at first. But not so in view of the fact
that the US and its allies have to undertake a huge reconstruction and rehabilitation
effort to restore a semblance of stability to the war-devastated Afghanistan. The
task will take several years to complete, and is likely to go beyond the final
withdrawal date of December 2014.
Of course, there is the Torkham border route as well, which Nato has been using
more regularly than the Chaman crossing. But the latter route offers a shorter and
convenient passage to all parts of Afghanistan, hence the idea may be worth its
while for the Nato nations to pursue. The government, nonetheless, must not wait
for the Western nations for help to realise the full potential of the port, on which rest
its dreams of making Gwadar the gateway to the resource-rich Central Asian
Republics.
It is also to serve as an important link for China with West Asia as well as Africa
from where it plans to bring oil, drastically reducing the transportation time and cost
as compared to the alternative routes. Things being what they are, the government
needs to make two quick decisions: one about the port contract, which reports
suggest, is about to change hands from Singapore to China; and the other
regarding the upgrade of the road system in accord with international standards.
Only when these issues are resolved, will the Gwadar Port become truly functional,
bringing the much-awaited benefits to all concerned.

Pak-China trade jumps by US $ 2 bln to US $ 8.7 bln
BEIJING, Jan 28 (APP): In the past one year - 2010 - Pakistan-China bilateral trade
has registered an overall growth of 28% and touched the figure of US$ 8.7 billion,
while in 2009, the volume of the two sides trade was US $6.7 billion.Masood Khan,
Pakistan’s Ambassador to China, while welcoming the swift increase in the volume
of bilateral trade said that the most remarkable growth had been in Pakistan’s
exports which increased last year by 37.44%; while imports from China also grew
by 25%.
The Ambassador attributed the growth in Pakistani exports to the enhanced market
of cotton yarn and mineral products in China.
“The trend seems to be pretty stable,” he noted.
“Despite the encouraging growth pattern, we would not sit on our laurels. There is a
long way to go as we have to achieve the US $15 billion mark and move beyond it
in the near future,” Masood Khan said.
Pakistan and China have resolved to increase their trade to US$ 15 billion in the
shortest possible time. The recent trend of growth in Pakistan-China bilateral trade
has put the two countries on a fast track to achieve this target.
In 2010, the biggest spurt in Pakistani exports to China has been in cotton yarn,
home textiles, garments, ores and mineral products, copper and copper scrap,
leather goods, fish products, electrical goods, and medical and surgical
instruments.
To give a fresh stimulus and to promote Chinese investment in Pakistan, the
second meeting of Pakistan-China Free Trade Commission (FTC) was held in
November last year.
Furthermore, during Premier Wen Jiabao’s visit to Pakistan last month, the two
sides decided to launch in the first quarter of this year the second phase
negotiations of Pak-China FTAs with the objective to enhance trade liberalization
and to promote economic and trade growth of the two countries.
Pakistan has requested China for unilateral tariff concessions for 268 of its product
lines. If these concessions are agreed, Pakistani exports to China will increase
even more rapidly.
Pakistan exports to China, cotton yarn and fabrics, synthetic yarn and fabrics,
garments, home textiles, chromium and other ores, fish and fish products,
vegetable and animal products, marble, granite and stone products, medical
instruments, sports goods, carpets etc.
From China, Pakistan imports, polyester and silk fabrics, polyester staple fabrics,
fertilizers, tyres, mobile communication equipment, gas turbines, motorcycle parts,
combustion piston engines, electrical appliances, iron and steel products, and
various other forms of machinery.
Premier Wen Jiabao and Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani in recent meetings
had agreed to take a series of measures to improve the balance of trade in
Pakistan’s favour by encouraging frequent visits of Chinese purchase missions to
Pakistan, Pakistani traders’ and trade associations’ participation in major Chinese
Trade Fairs and Expos.
It has also been decided by the two sides to hold seminars as well as to enhance
visa facilitation.
Pakistan has also proposed to China for the development of an efficient Electronic
Data Interchange (EDI) to realize the full potential of the FTAs.

'Pakistan, Bosnia need to improve economic ties'
RAWALPINDI - Pakistan and Bosnia need to improve political and economic

relations to promote bilateral trade and investment as the current volume of trade is
far below the respective potential of both countries.
Ambassador of Bosnia Herzegovina in Pakistan Arman Limo made these remarks

while talking to President of Rawalpindi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Syed
Ali Raza Saeed Shah during his visit to RCCI here. Vice President Dr Shimail Daud,
members executive committee and renowned businessmen of the city were also

relations that should be promoted to strengthen trade and economic ties. He said
Bosnia is organising the second International Investment Conference Sarajevo
Business Forum 2011 on April 6-8, 2011 in Sarajevo. He invited Pakistani
businessmen to participate in this event to explore more business opportunities.
Arman Limo said that Pakistani businessmen should consider Bosnia for joint
ventures in the area of common interest. Pakistani products including rice, surgical
instruments, sports goods and textile etc. have good potential in Bosnian trade
markets and Pakistani businessmen should establish direct trade links in Bosnia to
grab better market share, he added.

frequent exchange of business delegations and establishing direct B2B contacts
are the options which should be used to exploit untapped bilateral trade and
investment potential in both countries.

HSBC provided fully integrated advisory and financing solutions and acted as sole
bank in the deal. All regulatory approvals from SBP, CCOP and SECP have
obtained. UBL is Pakistan's second largest private bank. In 2002, a consortium
consisting of Bestway Group and Abu Dhabi Group acquired 51% of UBL shares
together with management rights and control of the bank through the Government
of Pakistan's privatisation process.
The consortium currently owns 61.37% of the bank with Bestway Group at 31.07%
and Abu Dhabi Group at 30.30%. After this investment, the management rights and
control of the bank will continue to remain within the same consortium. No changes
are being made in the senior management or in the board of directors. Zameer

its balance sheet through acquisition of low cost deposits and improvement in asset
quality, as well as grow its international business in a secure and selective manner".
"Overseas Pakistanis play an indispensable role in the development of Pakistan.
Bestway Group is proud to be a part of non resident Pakistani diaspora and we
hope to develop UBL into a conduit for bringing in more investments into Pakistan
from other non resident Pakistanis", said Chaudry.

ICBC leads charge as Chinese banks go global
By Boris Cambreleng (AFP)
BEIJING — ICBC, the world's largest bank by market value, is proving the most
aggressive Chinese bank in expanding abroad, serving Chinese firms that are
increasingly active globally after the financial crisis.
Of the country's "big four" banks, ICBC is leading the way as Chinese lenders
restart plans that were put on hold by the global crisis and seize new opportunities
left in its wake.
Bank of China fulfilled that role in the 1980s, but times have changed as Chinese
firms have been widely encouraged to invest abroad and Beijing seeks to boost the
global profile of the yuan, the experts say.
"BoC and ICBC are roughly at parity in terms of overseas activity. But it does
indeed appear that ICBC is emerging as the most international of the Chinese
banks," IHS Global Insight analyst Adam Breen told AFP.
For Andy Xie, an independent economist based in Shanghai, the process is the
logical result of the global expansion by Chinese companies, which are branching
out to secure vital natural resources and explore new markets.
"Even Chinese companies of medium size are going global. If Chinese banks don't
offer them services offshore, then they might switch to other banks like HSBC that
have both a China presence and an international presence," Xie said.
This month alone, ICBC opened branches in Paris, Amsterdam, Madrid, Milan and
Brussels -- following on from existing offices in London, Moscow, Frankfurt and
Luxembourg.
In December, it extended its reach to Pakistan. The month before, reports said
ICBC was eyeing a takeover of South Korea's Kwangju Bank. It already has two
branches in Seoul and one in the port city of Busan.
In addition the bank took advantage of this month's high-profile visit to the United
States by President Hu Jintao to announce it had signed a $140 million deal to buy
a majority stake in the US subsidiary of Bank of East Asia.
If the agreement gets approval from US banking regulators, ICBC will become the
first Beijing-controlled financial institution to acquire retail bank branches in the
United States.
ICBC, which employs 386,000 people worldwide and has more than 200 million
customers, now has more than 160 branches outside mainland China and more
than 16,000 in the country, according to its website.
Experts say Chinese banks' global expansion is only just beginning.
"It is rapid expansion only from a very low base," explained Michael Pettis, a
professor of finance at Tsinghua University in Beijing.
"China is the second-largest economy in the world but in terms of outward direct
investment, it is probably eighth or ninth."
At first, the banks will serve Chinese companies looking to invest in or buy local
businesses, before they target foreign enterprises doing business with the Asian
economic powerhouse, experts say.
Eventually, they will be viable competitors to local banks, mainly by offering more
cost-effective service, Pettis told AFP.
399
Sun
"The Chinese banks might become competitive in a few years, and they will
probably be competitive where the Japanese were competitive in the 1980s and
that is because they provide low funding cost," he said.
ICBC chairman Jiang Jianqing told the Wall Street Journal at last week's World
Economic Forum that the bank's focus for now would be "mainly on emerging
markets, which have good prospects for growth".
"For the American market, we are walking in a very careful way," Jiang said.
Breen, a specialist on China's banking sector, said the "big four" should focus on
developing economies, "where competition is lower, economic growth potential is
greater, and the existing domestic banks are less sophisticated".
In developed countries, "their best option is to purchase existing banks in those

sectors if they want to expand there," Breen said.
But he cautioned that "major regulatory obstacles" could block Chinese banks' path
in nations such as the United States, where most analysts expect ICBC to face a
lengthy process to win approval for the Bank of East Asia deal.

Trade between the ancient Pakistanis of the Indus Valley and the ancient
Indonesian has been going on for centuries. Islam spread to Indonesia by Arab
traders who on many occasions left the Mekran Coast of Pakistan.
The term “India” has always been ephemeral. For many Europeans Indonesia was
“India”. Indo-nesia used to be called the Dutch Indies or “Dutch India” which
competed with British India which competed with “Indo-China” or French “India”
(Vietnam).
Indonesia is the largest Islamic country in the world. Its Muslims are devout and
humbly. Indonesia has been a great partner and supporter of Pakistan. In fact
during the reign of President Sukarno relations were extremely close. Jakarta
helped Pakistan defend itself in 1965. Indonesia had placed its entire fleet of
submarines in the hands of the Pakistan Navy.
As a young boy, this author had requested the Indonesia Embassy for this picture of
President Sukarno and had it placed in his room as a poster.
The brutal overthrow of the elected Sukarno by th CIA implant Suharto reduced the
government to government contacts but there is deep rooted affinity for the
Pakistani people in Indonesia–especially the older Indonesians.
The President of the SCCI Ghulam Mustafa Chaudhary said goods made in Sialkot
such as sports equipment, surgical instruments, leather products, martial arts
uniforms and musical instruments could find a good market in Indonesia. “The main
hurdle is the lack of a direct link between business communities of the two
countries.
The Indonesian Ambassador of Indonesia to Pakistan Ishak Latuconsina confirmed

that the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Indonesia and Pakistan would soon.
This has been in the works for many years, and its implementation will be a boon
for traders in both countries.
The Indonesia Ambassador was addressing a meeting of the Sialkot business

community at the Sialkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI). Ambassador
Ishak vowed to make efforts to boost trade between the two countries. He affirmed
that he would fully support and ensure easy access of Pakistani products to
Indonesian markets.
The Ambassador invited the Sialkot business community to do business in

Indonesia and also participate in industrial exhibitions and trade fairs being held in
Indonesia. He also agreed with SCCI proposal regarding the regular exchange of
updated trade information and mutual trade delegations to enhance trade between
the two countries.
The biggest Islamic nations must increase their trade and worl to increase

Pakistan is to invite fresh bids for the supply of around 3.5 million mt/year of LNG by
mid-February to meet the country's energy needs after its law ministry told the
government to scrap the deal with GDF-Suez, a petroleum ministry official said
Monday.
"The ministry of petroleum will float a tender to invite companies to participate in

bidding for the import of LNG, and setting up of an LNG terminal mid-February,"
Imtiaz Kazi, a secretary at the ministry, added.
Pakistan is facing an acute energy shortage and is suffering a shortfall in excess of

1 Bcf/day as consumption is around 5.2 Bcf/day against output of 4.2 Bcf/day.
The government last week at a meeting of country's apex decision-making body,

the Economic Coordination Committee, or ECC, headed by finance minister Abdul

In February 2010, the ECC, then headed by former finance minister Shaukat Tarin,

4Gas was to set up an LNG terminal, while GDF was to supply the gas.
But Pakistan's Supreme Court in April 2010 annulled the deal and directed the
government to start the bidding process afresh.
The deal awarded to GDF Suez was for a medium-term supply contract for 2.75
million mt/year over six years. The contract price was 3.95% Brent plus 75% of the
maximum of the US' Henry Hub and the UK's National Balancing Point, plus
$1.58/MMBtu.
Later, the ECC also approved a second contract with GDF Suez for another 1.5
million mt/year of LNG for long-term supplies at 15.2% of Brent plus $0.50/MMBtu
for a period of 20 years, subject to further price improvements through a final round
of negotiations with GDF.
The long-term price formula would be fixed for 10 years and be renegotiable for the
second 10-year term.
Meanwhile, fresh bids could delay the process by another year, exacerbating
Pakistan's existing gas shortfall of almost 1 Bcf/day and creating further hardships

for consumers, an industry observer said.
The country's gas supply shortage would be 3.18 Bcf/day in 2014, as projected gas
supply would be 4.28 Bcf/day against demand of around 7.46 Bcf/day.

All Day Obama should offer Islamabad a much more expansive US-Pakistani
relationship if it helps win this war.” -- WASHINGTON

expansive US-Pakistani relationship if it helps win this war.” — File Photo
WASHINGTON: The Obama Administration should offer Pakistan a civilian nuclear
energy deal as well as a trade program under a “much more expansive” US
relationship with the key regional country as part of efforts to win more Pakistani
cooperation toward a successful outcome of the Afghan conflict, a prominent
American expert argued Tuesday.
In a policy brief, Michael E. O’Hanlon, who is director of research for the Foreign
Policy program at the Brookings Institution, endorses the Obama Administration’s
policy to build a relationship of trust with Pakistan but underlines that bold new
measures are needed to get greater and sustained Pakistani cooperation in the
anti-terror fight along the Afghan border.
“Two major incentives would have particular appeal to Pakistan. One is a civilian
nuclear energy deal like that being provided to India, with full safeguards on
associated reactors,” says Dr O’Hanlon, who has also authored a book on
Afghanistan.
He advocates that “Pakistan’s progress on export controls in the wake of the A.Q.
Khan debacle has been good enough so far to allow a provisional approval of such
a deal if other things fall into place as well, including Islamabad’s compliance with
any future fissile production cutoff treaty.”
On the importance of US striking a free trade accord, the expert says struggling
economically; Pakistan needs such a shot in the arm.
“A trade deal could arguably do even more than aid at this point,” he observes.
However, O’ Hanlon stipulates, that Pakistan should be given these deals if the US
comes out successful in Afghanistan as he claims that the Afghan militants use
Pakistani tribal regions to sustain insurgency and need to be tackled strongly by
Pakistan.
The expert suggests if Afghanistan turns around in a year or two, the deals can be
set in motion and implemented over a longer period.
Favoring the current US policy toward Pakistan, O’ Hanlon notes in the policy brief,
that “part of the right policy is to keep doing more of what the Obama administration
has been doing with Pakistan -building trust, as with last fall’s strategic dialogue in
Washington; increasing aid incrementally, as with the new five-year, $2 billion aid
package announced during that dialogue; encouraging Pakistan-India dialogue
(which would help persuade Islamabad it could safely move more military forces
from its eastern border to its western regions) and coordinating militarily across the
Afghanistan-Pakistan border region. But President Barack Obama needs to think
bigger.”
The clarification that the US-led ISAF mission will continue until 2014, and indeed
beyond, at the November Lisbon summit was a step in the right direction but more
is needed.
“Obama should offer Islamabad a much more expansive US-Pakistani relationship if

it helps win this war.”
Entitled “Improving Afghan War Strategy,” the policy brief also emphasizes
promoting Afghan political organizations built around ideas and platforms, not
individuals and ethnicities, in a change from longstanding American policy that
could improve the quality of governance in the country.
The brief also proposes taking pressure off the bilateral US-Afghan relationship on
the issue of anticorruption, largely by creation of an international advisory board

'UK working hard to promote Pakistan's investment climate'
LAHORE (February 02, 2011) : The British Government is working hard to promote
the investment climate of Pakistan, and the British High Commission in Pakistan
may soon organise an investment conference in United Kingdom to highlight the
economic potential of Pakistan.
This was stated by Dr Peter Tibber, the British Deputy High Commissioner during
his visit to the Lahore Stock Exchange. Dr Peter Tibber was welcomed to the
Exchange by Aftab Ahmad Chaudhry, the MD/CEO of Lahore Stock Exchange. The
visiting dignitary also held a detailed meeting with the Board of Directors and the
past Chairmen/Vice Chairmen of the Exchange and a cross section of the
multinational CEOs during the visit.
The delegation also comprised of Alastair King Smith-British Deputy Political

Counsellor. Farid Malik, CSO/COO LSE, briefed the visitors about the role and
function of LSE. He also highlighted the role of LSE in the development of the
capital market in the country.
He stated that LSE was the first stock exchange in the country to introduce
electronic trading back in 1997 and had gone to indigenously develop its own
trading platform called ULTRA. This trading platform had subsequently been sold to
Karachi, Islamabad and Ghana Stock Exchanges. LSE was also the only stock
exchange to focus on retail expansion by setting up regional trading floors.
He emphasised that stock exchange markets in Pakistan offer a favourable and

open environment to foreign investors. Highlighting this fact, he informed that
according to NCCPL figures, foreign investors now hold 8 percent of total market
capitalisation and more than 30 percent of fleet-float of local equities is held by
foreigners.
The MD LSE, Aftab Ahmed Chaudhry highlighted various steps taken by the
Exchange in recent times to enhance the confidence and trust of the investors in
the functioning of the Exchange as a frontline regulator. Especially, the Exchange is
committed to provide transparent and fair dispute resolution mechanism for
adjudicating the disputes arising between the member/broker of the Exchange and
investors.
For this purpose, the Exchange has revamped the Office of Chief Regulatory Officer
of the Exchange. "Enormous investment opportunities in Pakistan are still untapped
and are available for foreign investors," he stated. He impressed upon the visitors to
play proactive role in apprising the foreign investors about the opportunities of
investment in Pakistan in the prevailing business environment.
Peter Tibber lauded the efforts of LSE for playing pivotal role in the development of
the capital market. He informed the LSE Board members that efforts are being
made to arrange a conference in the coming weeks for apprising the business
community in UK about the investment opportunities available in Pakistan.-PR

Iranian gas price will be double to that of local gas, NA told
* Naveed Qamar says security threats hampering exploration of oil and gas in
Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
By Ijaz Kakakhel
ISLAMABAD: The National Assembly was on Wednesday informed that the

imported Iranian gas would cost the country double as compared to existing gas
prices. Currently, the gas price is about $5 per mmbtu while keeping in view the
existing oil prices in international market ($100 per barrel), the price of Iranian gas
would be about $10 to $12 per mmbtu. Federal Minister for Petroleum and Natural
Resources Syed Naveed Qamar, while answering questions, said that the gap
between demand and supply of gas was widening and hence could not be imported
at higher prices. The government has signed agreement on Iran-Pakistan gas
pipeline project.
Every country has to complete its pipeline distribution works within its boundaries.
Pakistan has to lay down gas pipeline from Iranian border to Gwadar and then from
Gwadar to Nawab Shah. The minister informed the House that Iran had linked gas
price with 77 percent international crude oil price in international market. For Iran-
Pakistan gas pipeline project, the government had hired consultants, carried out
surveys and soon the work on the project would be kicked off. To another query the
minister informed the National Assembly that Balochistan had oil reserves but even
then, domestic oil demand could not be met. He said 85 percent oil demand was
met through imported oil. In order to increase indigenous production of oil and gas,
the government carried out massive exploration during the year 2010. However,
after the 18th Amendment, the shares of provinces have increased by 50 percent,
and the provinces have to come forward for the exploration of oil and gas.
The minister said that gas reserves were discovered in Zin block, Balochistan areas
and its exploration required huge investments.
The majority of oil and gas blocks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Balochistan
were found in security-threatened areas, which were causing problems for the
government in its exploration. However, he assured that the Oil and Gas
Development Company Limited would carry out exploration work in Balochistan with
the assistance of Pakistan Army and security forces.

All Day ADB to provide loan for Pakistan's first wind farm, Project, to be
completed in 2012 -- PPI
ADB to provide loan for Pakistan's first wind farm Project, to be completed in 2012,
will provide 56.4 megawatts electricity as compared to current 6 megawatts.
ISLAMABAD: The Asian Development Bank will be providing a loan to help fund the
first privately owned and financed wind farm in Pakistan. The output from the plant
will provide much-needed additional power for Pakistan, improve the country’s
energy security, and lower reliance on fossil fuels.
Zorlu Enerji Electrik Uretim will use the $36.8 million loan to install wind turbines to
increase the output of its wind farm – located in the southern Sindh province, 100
kilometers northeast of Karachi – from the current 6 megawatts to a total 56.4
megawatts.
“Acute energy shortages, caused by low investment, are cutting into Pakistan’s
economic growth,” said Michael Barrow, Director in ADB’s Private Sector
Operations Department. “This deal should provide a bankable template for future
privately funded wind projects, and send a signal that Pakistan’s wind sector is
attractive for private sector investment and financing.”
Pakistan relies heavily on imported fossil fuels for the bulk of its energy needs.
However, this is costly, puts a heavy burden on Pakistan’s foreign exchange
reserves, and leaves the country vulnerable to supply disruptions and global price
fluctuations. Investment in new capacity has lagged, whereas demand has surged
by over 40% over the past five years, resulting in regular brownouts in all major
urban centers and the introduction of power rationing. This has forced shops and
industries to close early, undermining Pakistan’s economy. The Government of
Pakistan is now engaged in a major drive to expand its energy sources, including
tapping renewable energy resources such as wind, given around 50,000 megawatts
of capacity are available in the south of the country alone.
“We estimate that three to five projects will come on line following ADB’s support for
Zorlu Enerji’s wind farm,” said Siddhartha Shah, Senior Investment Specialist in
ADB’s Private Sector Operations Department.
Zorlu Enerji, listed on the Istanbul Stock Exchange, owns and operates Turkey’s
largest wind farm. It is 68% owned by Zorlu Holding AS, one of the largest
conglomerates in Turkey.
The existing 6 megawatt wind farm project is currently dispatching power to the
Hyderabad Electric Supply Company. Once the second construction phase is
complete – expected in 2012 – the 56.4 megawatt wind farm will supply power to
the national grid through a 20-year take-or-pay power purchase agreement with the
National Transmission and Dispatch Company. The approved tariff will ensure that
the electricity is priced competitively, with the rate dropping over time as project
debt is paid down.
“The project will have multiple benefits including helping realize the government’s
target of 6% renewable energy in the total power mix by 2030, and contributing to
employment opportunities and economic growth in one of the poorest regions of the
country,” said Mr. Shah.
The total cost of the project is $147 million with 30% financed through equity
provided by Zorlu Enerji and the rest through US dollar-denominated loans from
ADB, the International Finance Corp., the ECO Trade and Development Bank and a
Pakistan rupee loan from Habib Bank. ADB’s loan will carry a tenor of 12 years with
a two-year grace period.
ADB has taken the lead in supporting the Pakistan Government’s efforts to attract
private sector capital into the power sector. Initiatives include financing the country’s
first private sector run-of-river hydropower project – the New Bong Escape Power
Project in 2009, as well as financing three combined cycle power plants using

deficit” said Ambassador Masood Khan on Friday adding that in this regard, China
would be sending purchase missions to Pakistan to identify suitable Pakistani
products for Chinese markets.
He pointed out that Pakistani traders and businessmen will be attending major trade
exhibitions in Kunming, Guangzhou, Xi’an, Urumqi, Kashghar, Dalian, and Beijing.
Trade seminars would also be held to create greater space for Pakistani products in

technical training in the areas of value added textiles, gems and jewelry, ceramics,
surgical instruments, leather and light engineering.
At the last meeting of the Free Trade Commission (FTC), China agreed to consider
the proposal and invite Pakistan to identify specific training needs in these areas.
Pakistan has also requested China to give unilateral tariff concessions to 268
Pakistani product lines.
Pakistan is the second largest trading partner of China in South Asia.

GILGIT: The Chinese government has provided Rs5 million for the education of
Ugur students studying in Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) and Rawalpindi.
Abdur Rehman Bukhari, the General Secretary of the Gilgit-Baltistan Chinese

Overseas Association (G-BCOA), said on Wednesday, “The Chinese Ambassador
to Pakistan handed over the money in a ceremony in Islamabad.”
Known as Ugur, the Muslims community of China now settled in G-B and
Rawalpindi had migrated from China’s Sinkiang province before partition. The
money will be spent on the education of students studying in G-B and Rawalpindi,
meaning those of Ugur origin will not have to worry about tuition fees for at least
one year, said Bukhari. He added that the funds for 2011 had been provided in
advance.

There are nearly 5,000 Ugur families in Pakistan, many of whom have maintained
ties with their relatives in Kashgar and other parts of Sinkiang. Bukhari said that
around 500 students would benefit from the money and that G-BCOA would verify
the data of students enrolled in various Pakistani schools before depositing their
fees.
In 2010 the Chinese embassy in Pakistan arranged a post-Eid party for Ugurs in
Gilgit. The party was attended by officials of the Chinese Road and Building

4 February 2011 DUBAI — Pakistani businessmen in the UAE have been advised
to take advantage of the immense opportunities in the UAE and the Gulf region as
well as in several sectors of the emerging markets,
“Pakistan has everything to offer. It is matter of building confidence in ourselves,”

Jamil Ahmed Khan, Pakistan Ambassador to the UAE, told members of the
Pakistan Business Council, Dubai.
“With 40 per cent of the world’s liquidity, the Gulf region has so much to offer to the
world. Major growth is also taking place in the region’s defence sector,” the
ambassador said, asking PBC members to tap on these opportunities and draw
maximum benefit from them.
Khan said that as a result of fast economic growth at home, India will not be in a
position to provide labour to the Gulf region in next six to seven years. “This gap
can be filled by Pakistan,” he said adding that the Pak businessmen can also
benefit from the investment that would be taking place in countries on the silk route.
Khan said that he had arranged meetings with the CEOs of Korean and Turkish
companies operating in the UAE. Korea alone has $50 billion investment in the
UAE. These companies need men and material for their projects and Pakistan can
meet their manpower needs, he said.
He said that the funds have been approved for additional equipment and manpower
at the Pakistan Embassy and the Consulate to expedite the issuance of machine-
readable passports and NADRA identity cards.
“We are in the process of giving contract for the works and expect the project to
benefit the community in about six weeks,” Khan told Khaleej Times on Sunday.
Pakistan Consul General Tariq Iqbal Soomro said the introduction of an evening
shift for passports and NADRA cards at the consulate had reduced the pressure on
the morning shift and allowed the community to visit the consulate at their
convenience.
Tahir S. Schon, President of the Council, said they planned to publish a regular
newsletter and a business directory. At present the Pakistan Business Council of
Dubai has over 300 members comprising of active Pakistani Businessmen and
companies from various trade and Industrial sectors in UAE.
He said that the council has eight events scheduled for this year. They are: SAARC

ISLAMABAD: The Pak-US energy sector working group has discussed a five-year
public sector power generation enhancement plan (PSPGEP) 2010-15 whereby
10,000MW new capacity would be added to the national grid.
The plan, for the first time lays down various locations, technologies and fuel that
will be used to achieve the envisaged additions, says an official document made
available to The News here on Saturday.
According to the document, the plan firmed by the Pakistan Electric Power
Company (Pepco) has been discussed between the Pakistan and US teams for
concept clearance. It says as the National Power Plan 1994 is also under review by
the Pepco and National Transmission and Despatch Company (NTDC) for updating
till 2030, the PSPGEP would add on to it rather would act as a catalyst.
To obviate the capacity-specific de-rated position, the implementation and

execution of eight schemes have been discussed between the two working group
leaders, Secretary Water & Power Javed Iqbal and David Goldwyn and David
Lipton.
Among these schemes, the power plants that are under execution by the Northern
Power Generation Company Limited (NPGCL) or Genco-III include the new
combined cycle power plant project at Nandipur with the power generation capacity
of 425MW and new combined cycle power plant project at Chichoki Mallian with the
capacity of 525MW while the Central Power Generation Company Limited (CPGCL)
or Genco-II is executing the combined cycle power plant replacement project at
TPS Guddu with the capacity of 747MW.
The prospective power plants contemplated for replacement of old and inefficient
machines and taken up with the US side for support included 350MW at NGPS
Multan, 350MW at SPS Faisalabad and 200MW combined cycle plant at TPS
Shahdara.
The projects will be executed by Genco-II. The future projects to be executed by

Genco-III include 120MW combined cycle plant at TPS Sukkur and 200MW
combined cycle plant at TPS Quetta.
“The implementation of exhaustive power generation programme being capital

intensive has been suggested for financing through a combination of internal and
external investments originating from the domestic Public Sector Development
Programme, public-private partnership, grants/loan from MLBs/US-supported aid
agencies and bridge financing modes,” the document says.
According to the document, the US side was informed that during the preceding
years the Gencos remained deprived of firming up power generation building
capacities as no significant addition of higher capacity power plants could be made
in the system.

China 2nd largest global economy and opportunities for Pakistan ((Important))
Feb 15 2011.By Mehmood-Ul-Hassan Khan
According to recent official figures of the Japanese government and the IMF (2011),
China has surpassed Japan and succeeded to become world second largest
economy after the US. The country of 1.4 billion souls has achieved it after three
decades of spectacular socio-economic growth. During this period despite global
economics recessions and financial crunches, China’s economy stood firm, stable
and sustainable.
The above diagram clearly verifies that China has been eclipsing Japan
economically and now its GDP stand at US$5.879 trillion which is grater than
Japan’s GDP US$5.474 trillion. Many international economists around the globe are
forecasting that China will pass the United States as the world’s biggest economy
as early as 2030. America’s gross domestic product was about $14 trillion in 2009.
In recent years, China has started to reshape the existing global economic order
and system by virtue of its growing dominance of international trade, its huge
deposits of foreign exchange reserves and United States government debt and its
voracious appetite for oil, coal, iron ore and other natural resources.
The above given diagram indicates China’s leading trade partnership with many
countries around the globe. China is already a major driver of global growth. China
the new economic superpower has begun to assert greater influence in Asia, Africa
and Latin America by promoting bilateral trade, investments and joint ventures of
multibillion dollars.
Beijing has also determination to shape global dialogues on a range of issues and it
asserts that the dollar must be phased out as the world’s primary reserve currency.
And while the United States and the European Union are struggling to grow in the
wake of the worst economic crisis in decades, China has continued to climb up the
economic league tables by investing heavily in infrastructure and backing a $586
billion stimulus plan in 2009-2010. According to the latest data of the World Bank
(January, 2011), China’s economy is forecast to expand about 10 percent in 2011
continuing a remarkable three-decade streak of double-digit growth.
According to the Washington-based institute for international economics in terms of

purchasing power, China overtook the U.S. as the world’s largest economy in 2010.
It further elaborated that in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms the size of China’s
economy was U.S. $14.8 trillion in 2010, compared to the U.S. economy’s $14.6
trillion. It is now the world’s biggest auto market and the largest energy consumer.
New Chinese model of economic growth
During the recent time of global economic and financial crises the government of
China introduced new economic growth model due to which it has succeeded to
mitigate the bad effects of ongoing global economic recession on its macro-
economy.
(a) Role of the state, concentrates much more on increasing domestic demand for
the products of the expanding industrial base.
(b) Relies on building trading ties with the countries in its immediate neighborhood.
(c) Paradigm shift in structure of the economy.
(d) Mega projects of urbanization in order to discourage migration process
(e) Exports-oriented policies and mechanism
(f) Equitable exchange rate management
(g) High levels of domestic savings invested in United States Treasuries.
(h) Active participation of private sector
(i) Renewal of agricultural sector especially in western provinces such as Xinjiang

Vast opportunities for Pakistan
Pakistan and China have jointly declared 2011 as “Pak-China friendship year” in
recognition of 60 years of exemplary, all-weather friendship that has stood the test
of time. Being the second largest economy of the world offers vast opportunities for
the government and private sector in the country in the fields of energy,
construction, agriculture and science and technology etc. China has already
become the second leading economic partner of Pakistan and its entrepreneurs are
making huge investments in the country. The Chashma power plants, heavy
mechanical and electrical complexes and Gwadar deep sea port are the prime
examples of Chinese huge investments in Pakistan.
During the recent visit of Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao both countries signed
17 agreements, four MoUs and one joint venture worth $15 billion for investment in
various sectors of the economy. Moreover, both the countries agreed to initiate a
new 5 year development plan.
The public-private sector of Pakistan is keen to extend ties with Chinese firms in the
field of energy in order to overcome its severe energy shortage. Many Chinese
companies such as Harbin Power Engineering Company Ltd., Dongfang Electric
Corp., CWE, Sinohydro Corp., Zhongyuan Engineering Group, Gezhouba Group,
CMEC, and CMC are working in the energy sector of Pakistan. Chinese private
companies are engaged with 40 projects amounting $5 billion of hydropower,
thermal power, nuclear power, and electricity transmission and transformation.
Chashma Nuclear Power Plant II and the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Station and
the Sardhi wind power project are the prime examples of extended Pak-China
energy cooperation. Remarkably, a project of $6.5 billion generating 2,300MW of
electricity through wind turbines and solar panels was also recently signed.
The bilateral trade between the two countries was $6.8 billion in 2008, which was
higher by 30 per cent as compared to the 2007. Bilateral trade volume in the first
five months of 2010 increased by 31 percent and Pakistan’s exports to China grew
by 72 percent, as compared to the same period 2009. It is expected that trade
between Pakistan and China is likely to surge to $18 billion in the next 5 years.
Pakistan needs to extend bilateral ties in the fields of agriculture, seafood, basic raw
materials, coal and marble. It must set up joint ventures with Chinese private
companies with buy-back arrangements due to which our labours can learn
Chinese technology, increase productivity as well increase yield per acre, and
export backed arrangements with China will help us to further increase its exports to
China.
Expected cooperation
Sectors
Defence production, Reko-Diq Copper Mining project in Balochistan, energy
generation, technology development, industrial base and software park building and
communications infrastructure to promote ICT sector, including e-government, e-
commerce and e-enterprise.
According to the central bank of China (January, 2011) rose by $199 billion to $2.85
trillion, the biggest quarterly gain since 1996. Pakistan and China agreed to start
currency swap which could be win-win situation for both the countries.
Concluding Remarks
Pakistan and China are strategic friends and now being the second largest
economy of the world prospects are very bright to further strengthening of bilateral
trade relations between the two countries in the days to come. The government of
Pakistan must protect the Chinese interests as well as investments in the country.
Joint ventures with China hold the key of success for Pakistan.

Tokyo, Feb 22 (ANI): Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari said that Japan should
extend similar kind of cooperation to his country on peaceful uses of nuclear energy
like that of India.
"If Japan is willing to cooperate with India in nuclear technology and is giving
nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, I do not see any reason why we should
not deserve the same," The Nation quoted Zardari, as saying.
On being asked whether he would raise the question of nuclear technology

cooperation during his meeting with the Japanese counterpart, Zardari said: "I do
not know what questions would be raised during discussions. It depends upon the
circumstances there."
Both India and Pakistan are not signatories to the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty,
and the talks between Japan and India have raised concerns among survivors of
the 1945 US atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, who fear that such
negotiations could splash water on global efforts for a world without nuclear
weapons, the paper said.
Japanese firms, however, have keen interest in providing nuclear power generation
technology and related equipment to India, which plans to build 20 new nuclear
power plants by 2020.
Zardari refuted report media reports that Pakistan has more nuclear weapons that
India, saying, "There is always a difference between facts and fantasy."ardari, who
has already arrived in Japan, is scheduled to hold talks with Prime Minister Naoto
Kan and meet with Japanese business leaders and companies doing business with
Pakistan. (ANI)

Zardari’s Japan visit brings tangible benefits for Pakistan
By Munir Hussain
ISLAMABAD, Feb 24 (APP): The visit of President Asif Ali Zardari to Tokyo has
given a new impetus to bilateral relations as political and business leaders of Japan
finalized proposals for investment in various sectors in Pakistan. During his visit,
President Zardari met with Japanese business leaders, who showed keen interest
in making further investment in industrial, infrastructure, energy and railway sectors
in Pakistan. Japan is the fourth largest investment partner of Pakistan.
During the visit, Tokyo offered over Rs. 14 billion interest-free loan to Pakistan for
rebuilding roads and bridges destroyed in the devastating floods in Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa. This loan is repayable after 40 years at a nominal interest rate of
0.01 per cent and will be utilized for building 400 kilometers of rural roads, 120
kilometers of provincial roads and over two kilometers of bridges that were washed
away during the floods.

resources, infrastructure development and for establishing of a special economic
zone near Karachi over an area of 2,000 acres for investment by Japanese
entrepreneurs.

role in the war on terror and noted numerous sacrifices of its security forces and
people.
The visit laid the groundwork for a tripartite conference of corporate leaders of
Afghanistan, Pakistan and Japan to further explore the prospects of joint economic
collaboration in the border regions for the uplift of tribal areas as a means of fighting
militancy.
For decades Japan has been assisting Pakistan in social, health and education
sectors. Japan has also played a key role in holding the first meeting of Friends of
Pakistan in Tokyo.
During his meetings, President Zardari stressed on establishing a regular dialogue
mechanism at the level of foreign ministers, for enhanced market access through
FTA and GSP plus trade concessions, educational and vocational training for FATA
(Federally Administered Tribal Areas), enhanced Japanese ODA and support for
upgradation of infrastructure in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for facilitating trade on the
Pak-Afghan border and beyond.
President Yamaha Motors told President Asif Ali Zardari during a meeting in the
Japanese capital that Yamaha Motors Pakistan will spend $150 million and set up a
new plant at a 50-acre plot in Bin Qasim.

frigates it is building for its close strategic partner.
The keel-laying ceremony of Fast Attack Craft FAC(M) of Pakistan Navy was held
at Xinggang Shipyard in China's Tianjin city.
Pakistan Navy has signed a contact with China Shipbuilding & Offshore
International Company Limited (CSOC) for construction of two state-of-the-art
missile crafts which will be equipped with latest weapons and sensors.
According to the arrangement, one craft would be built in Tianjin while the other
would be constructed at Pakistan’s Karachi docks.
The first craft was expected to join the force in October this year. There is no word
about the financial arrangements for the construction of the two vessels.
China, a major supplier of weapons systems to Pakistan, is involved in a host of

defence projects with its close ally.
These included development of new fighter aircraft JF-17 Thunder which is being
produced in both the countries with engines supplied by Russia.
China is also constructing a number of naval frigates for the Pakistan Navy which
so far took delivery of three frigates and the fourth one is being constructed with
Chinese cooperation in Karachi Shipyard and Engineering Works.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has formally requested the USA to provide $7.5 billion for
40 development projects, including the Diamer Bhasha Dam, under the Kerry Lugar
Law (KLL). The funding for this crucial hydropower project may be made part of
financing plan for the next financial year 2011-12, it has been learnt.
Initially, Islamabad made a request for 39 development projects with estimated cost
of over $12 billion and Bhasha Dam was not part of that wish list. “But recently,
Pakistan made a fresh request to include construction of this mega project as part
of $7.5 billion funding coming over the next five years in shape of KLL,” one of the
top officials of economic team revealed while talking to a select group of journalists
here on Thursday.
Dwelling upon the lingering controversy over Raymond Davis episode that harbours
the potential of derailing bilateral ties between the two countries, the official
confided that John Kerry during his latest visit to Pakistan asked the concerned
authorities about specific measures required to be taken by Washington to end this
confrontational atmosphere between the two countries.
He said that Pakistan forwarded 40 projects of four major areas including energy,
food security, human resource development and others.“If USA agrees to provide
423
Fri
much less amount even $5 to $10 million for construction of $11.5 billion Bhasha
dam it will help to lure other multilateral and bilateral donors in a great way,” the
official added. He said that the Asian Development Bank (ADB) had asked the
government to evolve consensus on Diamer Bhasha Dam among the federal
government, four provincial governments and Northern Areas and also made
payments for land acquisition. The Council of Common Interest has granted its
approval for Bhasha dam and payment of compensation for land acquisition is also
underway, he maintained.
When asked about the slow release of funds under KLL, the official said that the
process of donor funded projects took more time as completion of mechanism
starting from opening up assignment account, arrangement of counterpart funds in
Pak rupee and proposal for request (RFP), bidding and many other hectic
requirements consumed a lot of time. “It is an achievement that USA has agreed to
provide around $874 to $900 million through government’s sponsored agencies and
ministries concerned out of total $1.5 billion per annum under KLL,” he further said.
He said that USA had provided $180 million during the last financial year that
included $75 million for Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP), $45 million for
HEC and $65 million for Malakand IDPs. During the ongoing financial year, USA
has provided $60 million for Post Flood Recovery and was going to provide $190
million for Citizen Damage Compensation of flood affected areas. Pakistan and
USA have also assigned $40 million for Gomal Zam dam and $26 million for
Satpara dam and these funds are expected to be released soon. He said that the
government had estimated to receive around $4 billion during the current fiscal year
but it is likely to face a shortfall owing to Islamabad’s inability to arrange counterpart
funding in the wake of financial constraints.

ISLAMABAD – The fate of multi-million dollars Mashal Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
integrated import project is in doldrums as it has been delayed for yet another time
on technical grounds, sources informed on Friday.
Sources in the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources told The Nation that
one other major reason in the delay in re-tendering of the project was site of its
change as site from onshore to offshore operations so the proposed multi million
dollars LNG supply project has been delayed because of technical hitches.
“Since this requires highly technical studies to proceed on with the proposed
project, therefore, new technical studies have to be completed before re-tendering
of the project”, sources added.
Zaar Qadir, Spokeperson of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources on Friday
while talking to The Nation informed that by early June 2011 necessary
requirements regarding award of re-tendering of multibillion dollars import of LNG
and setting up Liquefied Natural Gas terminal project would be completed. He said
the government has decided to change the site from on shore (Port Qasim Karachi)
to a new offshore site. “ I am hopeful that after the completion of both Met
Oceanographic Study and Environmental Impact Assessment Study (EIAS), the
concerned authorities will be able to award the tender”, he said adding that this due
process would take two months to complete the above said required studies.
Over a question, spokesperson of Petroleum Ministry however seemed hopeful and
replied that during first half of 2013, the Government of Pakistan would be able to
commission the tender. “ It would be an open tender where any party either new or
old can participate”.
Sources in Petroleum Ministry privy to this development informed that after the
debacle of GDF-Suez and Dutch firm 4Gas LNG supply deal, the cash strapped
PPP-led government would float a tender to invite companies to participate in a bid
for import of LNG and setting up Liquefied Natural Gas terminal project in light of
Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the cabinet to float tenders for
multimillion dollars Mashal Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) integrated import project in
June 2011.
It may be recalled that on February 11, 2011, Imtiaz Qazi Secretary Petroleum
Ministry while talking to this correspondent informed that the tender would be
floated in mid of February, 2011 through international media and private parties
would be invited. Over a question, he said that bid would be invited in three phases,
first bid will be for met ocean graphic study as it is not a fix terminal and will be
located in off-shore, second bid will be for environment impact assessment study
(EIAS) and third bid will be for initiating physical work, he added.

per cent of world’s power generation in 2025.
Pakistan has huge reserves of coal and it provides the best solution for its energy
crises, said the KESC official.
The speaker at the conference pointed out that in Pakistan the potential 3000 MW
power plants run on furnace oil and if measures are taken to convert these power
plants to coal, the country will be in a position to save approximately one billion
dollars.

Pak firm offers dates to Spanish chain
ISLAMABAD: A Pakistani firm has offered a major Spanish retail chain to import
dates from Pakistan, a statement said.
Harvest Tradings Chief Executive Officer Ahmad Jawad offered supply of Pakistani
dates to the visiting El Corte Ingles Group delegation, headed by Borja de la Cierva.
El Corte Ingles is the 34th largest retail chain in the world the statement said.
Pakistan is the fourth largest producer of dates and is rated among the largest
producers of date palm in the world with over 150 different varieties, Jawad said in
the statement.
He urged with the Food and Agriculture Ministry to devise a strategy to promote
value added date exports and date processing through private and public sector
partnership.
“The projected target of date exports from Pakistan till June 2010 was 160,000
tonne worth $55.0 million, but due to packaging delays we could not achieve
target,” he said.

ISLAMABAD: The bilateral trade between Pakistan and Bosnia can be increased
five times over the medium-term from the current two million euros per annum,
Bosnian Ambassador to Pakistan Armin Limo said in an interview with The News.
Islamabad can use Bosnia to send its products to different European countries, he
said. “Pakistan can send its products to Bosnia directly. Currently Pakistani made-
ups are reaching our homeland through other countries that results in increased
prices,” the Ambassador said during the one-hour talk at the Bosnian embassy.

He said that they could help Pakistan in areas of energy and defence production as
Bosnia possessed expertise in these two sectors. He said that Bosnia possessed
expertise in construction of mega dams, transmission lines and grid stations and
Pakistan could utilise its experience to overcome its energy crisis.
“During the era of former Yugoslavia, our Army was one of the biggest in the region
so defence production is also remarkable. We can provide assistance to Pakistan in
this regard.”
Limo said that Bosnia was making efforts to become part of EU and improved
bilateral ties with Pakistan could help the country to boost its exports in years ahead
when Bosnia would possibly join the 27-member bloc.
The Ambassador said that they were arranging Sarajevo Business Forum (SBF)
from April 6 to 8 in Bosnia this year in which 30 to 40 businessmen from Lahore,
Karachi, Islamabad and other cities would participate. “This year’s Sarajevo
Business Forum will feature projects from energy, infrastructure, tourism,
agriculture, wood industry, education, construction and banking,” he said.
The first SBF was held last year in which investors identified 157 projects worth $15
billion for cooperation. The Ambassador said that this year organisers were aiming
to attract even larger number of international investors willing to support projects or
enter joint business ventures.
Limo said that they would invite Pakistan’s minister for tourism to attend the forum,
which aimed to attract foreign investment for the country.
He said that the five independent states that had been part of former Yugoslavia
now possessed population of over 20 million and Pakistan could boost trade ties
with them by enhancing its exports of textile, rice and surgical and sports goods.
In the upcoming SBF, he said, more than 600 delegates would participate with
whom Pakistani businessmen could develop networking to boost business.
The Ambassador said that the two countries’ good relations needed to be translated
into enhanced economic cooperation. He recalled that former Prime Minister
Benazir Bhutto visited Bosnia in 1994 when they were passing through their most
difficult time. He said they could not forget that gesture of Pakistan’s political
leadership.
Bosnia and Herzegovina and its neighbouring countries are safe, stable and an
excellent gateway to the EU countries, he claimed. They have modern legislation
adapted to the highest international standards ready to accept foreign investors, he
concluded.

2011 16:09 0 Comments ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Fund
(PPAF), in partnership with Aga Khan Planing and Building Services- Pakistan
(AKPBS-P), has set up wind turbines and solar panels to provide environmentally
friendly electricity to approximately 6,500 people in 29 villages of district Thatta in
Sindh province.
According to PPAF sources, the AKPBS-P, with the support from PPAF, the World
Bank and the contribution by the village residents in the form of unskilled labour,
installed 29 wind turbines, 29 solar panels and streetlights in various villages
located in Thatta, which were without electricity for decades.
The immediate benefit of electrification is improved lighting, which is much brighter,

cheaper and safe than that provided by kerosene lamps, the sources added.
They said that by utilizing local and renewable energy resources instead of diesel
for power generation, not only protect the environment but also stimulates economic
benefits for an improved quality of life.
A key reason why this village has not yet benefited from an electric grid connection
is its geographical isolation that offered an extremely low return on investment
made in grid extension. This challenge required a local and cost-effective solution
which was provided by PPAF.

Monday, March 07, 2011
LAHORE: Pakistan needs construction of mega dams, including the Kalabagh
Dam, on an immediate basis in order to meet its ever increasing energy
requirements. There is a need to start work on other energy generation resources
besides taking concrete steps for energy conservation.
These views were expressed by the participants of a seminar on ‘Energy

conservation: public and new trends’ here at a hotel on Sunday. The seminar was
organised by the Mir Kalilur Rahman Memorial Society (MKRMS) and hosted by
MKRMS chairman Wasif Nagi.
Speaking on the occasion, Chenab Group Chairman Mian Muhammad Latif said
that the textile sector was playing the role of the backbone of the national economy
by creating 19 million jobs but it was badly affected by the energy crisis, which had
crippled it. He said that due to the crisis, majority of textile units were operational
just for two days a week, adding that the crisis had deepened in the Punjab after the
18th Amendment. He said due to the energy crisis, 8,000 workers were
unemployed during last the two years just from his textile unit. He said globally, the
industry was prioritised with regard to energy supply while in Pakistan, it was
neglected.
Qayum Hajzi criticised the government for not prioritising the industry in the energy
supply. He suggested the industry to follow efficient energy consumption pattern
and opt for energy conservation methods.
Chairman Electrical Engineering Department University of Engineering and

Technology (UET) Dr Muhammad Kamran said that there was a need to focus on
hydel generation instead of thermal generation as electricity produced from furnace
oil was costlier than others. He called for energy conservation programmes in
various departments along with reviewing the electricity distribution mechanism. He
431
Mon
said the work should initiate on the energy generation projects.
Prof Dr Nadeem Hayat Malik said the health sector was also affected due to the
energy crisis. He said hospital equipment was also damaged due to fluctuations in
voltage and interrupted power supply, seeking uninterrupted power supply to the
health sector, especially hospitals.
Former managing director Pepco Thair Basharat Cheema said that there was a
need to create an awareness among the public about the energy consumption and
conservation. He said the per unit electricity cost generated from Bhasha Dam
would be Rs8 during the first 10 years. He said in the first 10 years, the cost of
energy from any hydel power project was always higher. He said China itself was
facing energy shortage, how it could provide cheap electricity to Pakistan. He said it
was negative propaganda that China was ready to supply energy to domestic users
at Rs500 per house. Similarly, Iran never offered free power supply to Pakistan, he
said, adding that in the past, Iran offered power supply at 3 cent per unit and was
now asking 11 cents.

Pakistan to provide Tajikistan easy access to its sea ports: Zardari
ISLAMABAD, March 7 (APP):
President Asif Ali Zardari said on Monday that Pakistan was ready to assist
Tajikistan to provide an easy access to its ports, especially the Gwadar Port. In this
context, he said, “we are ready to discuss the conclusion of a Trilateral Transit
Trade Agreement between Pakistan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan.” Addressing a
banquet held at Aiwan-e-Sadr here in the honour of Tajik President Emomali
Rahmon, Zardari said that Pakistan was ready to discuss frameworks that would
facilitate trade and economic relations between the two countries.
“We are keen to create an interface between the private sectors of the two
countries,” the President said.
The President said that Pakistan-Tajikistan relations were rooted in the centuries
old bonds of history, faith, culture and traditions and it was a matter of great
satisfaction that this relationship was strengthening with every passing day.
“The mutual feelings of friendship trust and confidence are reassuring,” he said.
Highlighting the shared objectives and aspirations of the two countries, the
President noted that the two countries were determined to work closely to
strengthen the whole range of bilateral relations.
He said that Pakistan and Tajikistan were determined to work together to promote
stability, peace and development in the region.
The President said that the foundation of the relationship was laid by Shaheed
Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto nearly 17 years ago when she had sent him as a special
envoy of Pakistan to Tajikistan.
The President said that Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto had a vision of
promoting regional trade and connectivity.
He said, “had those policies been continued, we would have been at much better
position today and had not faced many problems such as the present energy crisis.”
The President, on this occasion, also emphasized that the people, intelligentsia,
civil society, business community and media should step forward and take
ownership of the policies for the sake of ensuring their continuity.
The President said that the present government was picking up the threads to
enhance and further strengthen Pak-Tajik relations and pursuing the policies that
would promote regional trade and enhance collaboration to meet the challenges
facing the region and bringing in socio-economic development.
Appreciating close partnership of the two countries within the frameworks of
Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Economic Cooperation Organization,
Organization of the Islamic Conference and the United Nations, the President said,
“we will continue to strive to strengthen our partnership with Tajikistan.”
He said it was a matter of great satisfaction that the two countries share a vision of
regional development and connectivity.
CASA-1000 project aimed at providing 1000 megawatts of electricity to Pakistan

through Afghanistan was a concrete step for the realization of such vision, he said.
The President said Pakistan was keenly interested in enhancing air and road links
to Tajikistan.
He said that their region faced challenges of extremism, terrorism, narcotics and
organized crime. “We have to work closely to overcome these challenges in order
to promote peace and stability in our region.”
Talking about regional situation, the President reiterated that Pakistan would extend
all assistance to Afghan brothers in their quest for peace and prosperity, based on
the time tested principles enshrined in the United Nations Charter.
The President also thanked the government and people of Tajikistan for their
generous humanitarian assistance for flood victims in Pakistan last year.
The President hoped that the visit of Tajik President to Pakistan would become a
new milestone in the brotherly relations between the two countries.
In his remarks, Tajik President Emomali Rahmon assured of his government’s
commitment to enhance trade and energy connectivity to bring regional prosperity.
He said that Tajikistan had enough hydel resources to provide electricity to not only
Pakistan and Afghanistan but also to other regional countries.
Emomali Rahmon said the two countries needed to strive for multidimensional
relations whose indestructible foundations were built by their forefathers.
He said his generation was raised in the spirit of Allama Muhammad Iqbal.
The Tajik President expressed satisfaction at the strengthening bilateral relations
and said their ties would be a model for other countries.

ISLAMABAD: With more than 75 per cent payment of the Coalition Support Fund
(CSF) still due, Pakistan and the United States agreed on Sunday to channel 60 per
cent assistance under the Kerry-Lugar-Berman Act through the government and 40
per cent in civil society initiatives.
Pakistan sought a clear system of information-sharing from Washington and a joint

mechanism for oversight of the funding to be disbursed by the US through civil
society organisations.
New US Special Representative to Pakistan and Afghanistan Marc Grossman will

hold discussion on the joint oversight mechanism with the top political leadership on
Monday against the backdrop of the diplomatic row over the Raymond Davis issue.
Mr Grossman, on his first two-day visit to Pakistan, held a meeting with Finance
Minister Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh.
The Pakistani side is also reported to have expressed concern over an inordinate
delay in setting up reconstruction opportunity zones (ROZs) in the tribal region
because of legal hitches in the US.
The government believes the proposed zones might already have lost their
òpportunity` value.According to sources, the visiting envoy was told that more than
75 per cent of the payments for providing services to the coalition forces under the
CSF were pending despite the implementation of a verifiable system for
reconciliation of bills.
Mr Grossman promised to personally look into the billing claims and the verification
process for speedy payments, the sources said.
An official statement said Mr Shaikh gave a detailed account of economic reforms

undertaken to improve the economic conditions and highlighted budget priorities,
including resource mobilisation, expenditure cut, tax measures and control of
433
Mon
inflation.
The minister gave an overview of the state of the economy when the government
had taken over and said economic growth had been lost because of non-
reconciliation of development with reforms and the whole macro-economic
framework had been affected.
He apprised the US envoy of difficult decisions he had to take for transition of the
economy towards development after last year`s floods and increase in international
oil prices.
Mr Grossman praised the economic measures and expressed the hope that they
would benefit the people.
He said relations between Pakistan and the US were not only beneficial to both
countries but also imperative for the region.
Praising Pakistan`s focus on development of the energy sector, he said it was

fundamental for the economic and social development of any country.
The American representative stressed the need for developing relations in terms of
people-to-people contacts.
The finance minister said the main objective of the strategic dialogue was to shift
the relationship from government to the people`s level and strengthen it at the
grassroots.
The two sides also discussed the establishment by the United States of an
enterprise fund for better access of Pakistani products to the United States
market.

Despite the Capital Development Authority’s (CDA) reluctance, the government has
directed it to take control of the Pak-China Friendship Centre. The decision was
confirmed in a letter sent to CDA by the prime minister’s Secretariat here on
Monday.
“It is an honour for the civic body to take responsibility of the Pak-China Friendship
Centre,” said CDA Spokesperson Ramzan Sajid.
He said that the CDA Chairperson Imtiaz Inayat Elahi had requested the director of
the Jinnah Convention Centre to carry out necessary paperwork for the acquisition.
Sajid said the centre will be run following operational rules and procedures of
the Jinnah Convention Centre, which is currently used to host various government
and privately-sponsored events.
A CDA official on condition anonymity said that private firms are required to pay
hefty amounts to hold events at the Jinnah Convention Centre and if the Pak-China
centre is operated following the similar rules, “its returns can significantly reduce the
financial constraints faced by the civic body”. However, other CDA officials said it
will be a difficult task for the civic authority to run such a large centre and arrange
interesting cultural shows and exhibitions.
Inaugurated by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and Prime Minister Yousaf Raza
Gilani, the Pak-China Friendship centre was constructed on December 18 at a cost
of Rs3 billion. Spread over 12 acres of land, the centre houses an art auditorium
with seating for 800, an exhibition centre, multipurpose hall, and a conference room
seating 250.

ISLAMABAD: Country can generate over 350,000 MW electricity through wind
against the total demand of about 21,000 MW in peak summer, urging the need for
solid steps to explore the potential.
Official sources in Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) told APP that
Pakistan has numerous resources to get energy and around 57,000 MW electricity
could be generated only from Gharo-Keti Bandar corridor where average wind
speed is more than seven meter per second throughout a year.
They said the corridor has potential which is twice of India and other sites in
Balochistan, Punjab, and Northern Area which are being identified for power
generation.
The sources said Pakistan is among the world's highest and fastest rising
urbanisation and electricity is available to only 57 percent of the population while
natural gas to 21 percent.
Only 45 percent of rural population have access to grid electricity and there is
436
Tue
extreme shortage of electricity and gas leading to load shedding.
Economic growth is also suffering due to gas and power load shedding, leading to
closures of industries, they added.
They said the total installed and dependable capacity of the country's power sector
is 20,231 MW.
11,735 MW could get from public sector while 8,496 MW from private sector, they
added.
"By switching to alternative energy means, we can reduce dependence on imported

oil, running into billions of dollars and undermining economic development," they
observed.
It is pertinent to mention that USA has wind power installed capacity of 25,170 MW,
Japan 1,880 MW, India 9,645 MW, Greece 985 MW, Egypt 365 MW, Iran 85 while
Pakistan has only 6 MW so far.

Pak, GCC ink MoU on strategic talks
Published: March 09, 2011
ISLAMABAD - Pakistan and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Tuesday signed a
MoU providing institutional framework to formally launch Pakistan-GCC strategic
dialogue in Abu Dhabi.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar led the Pakistan delegation
at the ministerial-level meeting chaired by H.H. Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al
Nahyan, Foreign Minister of the UAE. UAE is the current chair of the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC). All GCC member States participated in the meeting.
Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah of UAE and Minister of State for Foreign Affairs
Hina Rabbani Khar signed the MoU launching the Pakistan-GCC strategic dialogue.
The MoU provided the institutional framework for this dialogue.
Addressing the meeting, the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs underscored the
“immense potential of mutually beneficial partnership” between the GCC and
Pakistan. She added that further strengthening Pakistan-GCC relations would
remain “a cardinal principle of Pakistan’s Foreign Policy”.
Khar stressed on the Islamic/Arab collective strength. She added that the GCC-
Pakistan institutional relationship would provide new impetus towards optimising
and realising the “tremendous potential that our geographic proximity, solidarity and
economic complementary confer on us.” She called for early finalisation of the
Pakistan-GCC free trade agreement.
The Minister of State requested the GCC countries to continue to support flood
affectees by contributing to Pakistan’s Citizen Compensation Fund.
The UAE Minister for Foreign Affairs welcomed the commencement of Pakistan-
GCC Strategic Dialogue, adding that Pakistan had always been an important ally for
the GCC. The Kuwaiti Foreign Minister said that Pakistan had “immense potential”.

Pakistan is planning of buying six more submarines with options for joint
development of future submarines with China. The reason for that is, because
Pakistan is seeking for ways to strengthen its under-sea warfare capabilities.
For now it is unknown what the class of the submarines is, but according to
anonymous information Islamabad required an advanced under-sea vessel with air
independent propulsion (AIP) system. This system will give the submarine the
capability of staying submerged for longer and operating noiselessly.
The federal Cabinet of China was asked by the Defence Ministry to approve the
purchase of the submarines in order to counter the “rising threats” for Pakistan. At
the moment the Pakistan Navy has five active diesel electric submarines and 3
midget submarines. The submarines include Agosta-90b which are going to be
equipped with MESMA AIP system, and Agosta-70.
Pakistan’s Defence Ministry informed the Cabintet for the force imbalance in the
country’s Navy when it comes to the number of ships and submarines used in the
fleet. The Navy is planning to acquire six AIP conventional submarines which will be
able to operate in multi-threat environment under tropical conditions. After this deal
is approved, the Pakistan Navy and China Shipbuilding and Offshore Corporation
are expected to sign a contract for the joint development and production of
submarines.
The “urgent naval requirements” aren’t discussed for the first time as they were an
issue discussed by President Asif Ali Zaradari during his visit to China in 2009. This
problem was also discussed during Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao’s visitation to
Pakistan in December 2010.

Wed
The Naval Headquarters are pursuing the purchase of submarines from Chinese
authorities due to the fact that they will receive full firm support for the submarine
project. According to the proposed contract, four submarines will be manufactured
at a Chinese Shipyard while the other two will be constructed in Pakistan.
The Co-development will not only include projecting and manufacturing, but also
training of Pakistani personnel, upgrades of Pakistan Navy’s shipyard and other
things. At the moment Pakistan is finalizing a deal of inducting 36 J-10 fighter
aircraft from China in a deal which has an estimated worth of over USD 1.4 billion.
Islamabad and Beijing are also collaborating to build an advanced fighter — JF-17
or ‘Thunder’.

Pak-US programme benefitting Pakistani educators
ISLAMABAD, Mar 9 (APP): The Pak-US cooperation in education has led to sharing
of best practices between the education sectors of the two countries and benefitted
around 200 educators from Pakistan. The Pakistani Educational Leadership Project
that focuses on; Science, English, Mathematics, Leadership, Research and
Evaluation, ICTs and Environment is aimed at exposing educators to cross cultural
educational initiatives for professional up-gradation and sharing of best practices
between Pakistan and the United States of America.
Under the Pakistani Educational Leadership Programme, 160 Secondary Pakistani
Educators have participated from all provinces and areas of Pakistan. Another 40
educators will be visiting the Summer Institute in summer this year, raising the
number to 200.
The programme in Pakistan is managed by the Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi (ITA) -
‘Centre for Education & Consciousness’ (www.itacec.org) and its recently
established Institute for Professional Learning (IPL) affiliated to the University of
Education (UoE) and the Higher Education Commission (HEC).
The core areas of the week-long American Reciprocal Program in March included
Adaptability of the Institute’s content to Pakistan’s demographic and geographic
challenges, lessons learned about grant themes and applicability to conditions on
the ground.
The concluding Session of the Week-Long Reciprocal Programme was attended by
Joint Education Adviser (JEA) Project Wing Arif Majeed Ministry of Education and
Micah Risher US Embassy, Project Director PELI and Baela R Jamil Director
programmes ITA,IPL.
Participants shared experiences on diversity, multiculturalism and tolerance,
professional development and peace education.
The programme has been running successfully for 8 years and has received
appreciation from Pakistani Counterpart Institutions for its valuable contribution to
quality assurance and professional development in Pakistan - sensitive to local
contexts, emergencies and heritage.
The Pakistani Education Leadership Project (PEL) Project and Institute (PELI),
funded by the U.S Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs,
was launched in 2003.

World has interest in Pakistan’s economic potential: Haqqani
WASHINGTON, March 9 (APP): Pakistan’s tremendous economic potential remains
attractive for investors around the world despite international focus on security
situation in the region, Islamabad’s ambassador to the United States
said.Ambassador Husain Haqqani told CNBC channel that Pakistan is “far more
stable than people give it credit for” in the midst of attention to security and political
issues.“Because Pakistan is a democracy, it is a fledgling democracy, there is a lot
of noise. We are fighting terrorism and, at the same time, maintaining economic
growth,” said the envoy, who also underscored the vast investment opportunities
existing in various sectors of the economy at a conference in New York.
Haqqani noted in the interview that Pakistan’s economic growth is going to be
“relatively down’ this year, partly due to devastating floods last summer.
440
Wed
“But other than that, the economy continues to move in the right direction.We are on
track for economic reform, (although) we will be affected by high oil prices (as) we
are a major oil importer.”
“As a country that is at war (against terrorists) and has a fallout from the war in
Afghanistan, we are a country that gets more attention because of security and
political reasons than for economic reasons.
“But the country’s economic potential remains something that a lot of people are
interested in.”
Islamabad is working to change the unfair tax structure of the past through steps
like introduction of a general sales tax across the board in the country to try to
recover more money from people who are liable to income tax.
He said the Pakistanis living below poverty line and those living on meagre income
cannot be expected to pay taxes and this way only those earning enough are left to
pay taxes.
Just as America witnessed a long battle over federal income tax imposition at the
turn of the 20th century, Pakistan is also going through a similar process.
“Give us some credit. We will get there. We understand that that is the way forward.
You cannot fuel an economy, you cannot have federal spending without people
being taxed. We have to find a solution to both (tax) resistance and evasion.”
Responding to a question about Raymond Davis, who is under detention since he
killed two men in Lahore in January, the ambassador said Pakistan believes in
dealing with the issue in accordance with the law. In the context of resolution of the
issue, he also noted the importance of respect for sentiments of the Pakistani
people.
“The important thing to undersand is what Davis did is not conducive to good U.S.-
Pakistan relations” in the current environment, with a lot of disapproval of the United
States.
In answer to another question, Haqqani felt that both countries are conscious that
the relationship is the single most important relationship in that entire region right
now.
“On that hinges America’s success in the war against al-Qaeda and the Taliban and
stability of the vast region,” he said, hoping that controversy over one individual
would not be allowed to undermine the relationship.

KUWAIT: President Asif Ali Zardari and Turkish President Abdullah Gul on Saturday
agreed to facilitate the two countries’ private sectors for increased joint ventures in
trade and communication and to gain maximum benefit from their geo-strategic
locations.
Zardari and Gul travelled back in the same car from the Loyalty Parade Avenue, a
50-minute drive to the Bayan Palace, after which talks between the two leaders also
continued for more than half an hour at the Turkish president’s villa.
The leaders, who are in Kuwait to celebrate the 50th independence day of the oil-
rich country, exchanged views on wide-ranging regional and international issues,
besides the situation in the Middle East and Afghanistan.
Zardari called for increasing bilateral trade with Turkey to $2 billion and beyond by
2012, through encouraging public as well as private sectors to collaborate in key
sectors such as infrastructure, engineering, telecom, mining and technology. He
reiterated his call for urgent up-gradation of the existing railway line between the
two countries for running of fast cargo trains in order to boost trade.
The president said that he had already proposed that the new fast cargo train be
named ‘Gul Train’ after the name of the Turkish president. He said that during his
recent visit to Japan, he had invited the Japanese investors to invest in the `Gul
441
Wed
Train project’ and had offered them to raise equity for it through the local stock
market.
Gul said that Pakistan and Turkey enjoyed social relations that were rooted in
centuries of old bonds of history, culture and religion. He expressed satisfaction
over the frequency of interaction at the leadership level.
The Turkish president lauded the sacrifices rendered by the Pakistani nation and its
armed forces in the war against terrorism, adding that the recent successes of
Pakistan in the fight against terrorists had made them proud.
He expressed satisfaction over Pak-Turk defence cooperation and suggested

increased military to military interaction, joint military exercises, training and related
research and development.
On the Pak-Afghan-Turkey trilateral process, Zardari said Pakistan was committed

to consolidating the gains made in engagement on Afghanistan to bring peace,
stability and development in the country.
Zardari thanked Gul for Turkey’s generous assistance to Pakistan at a time when
the country had been ravaged by the worst floods in its history.
In the meantime, the president joined Kuwait’s Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-

Thursday, March 10, 2011
ISLAMABAD: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) hopes that Pakistan can benefit
from the regional cooperation through connectivity with the Central Asian Republics
(CARs) in areas of oil, gas, electricity, communication links and trade facilitation and
related initiatives and peace building process in Afghanistan will result in enhancing
the regional cooperation.
An initiative of 10-member countries — Central Asia Regional Economic

Cooperation (CAREC) — that was also joined by Pakistan a few months back,
possessed the potential to include projects of significance, such as, the
Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan and India (TAPI) gas pipeline, import of crude
oil for utilising facilities of refineries, electricity and initiatives under the National
Trade Corridor (NTC) for establishing road, rail and air links with Afghanistan and
beyond CARs.
A three-member mission of ADB, led by Director Regional Cooperation of Bank, Ms

Hattori, is visiting Pakistan to explore ways and means for the possibility for making
part of Islamabad’s specific projects for CAREC initiatives under its 2020 vision,
which is currently preparation. Talking to the media here on Wednesday, along with
ADB’s representative in Pakistan Rune Storem, Ms Hattori, said that the CAREC
initiative, resulted into undertaking crucial projects of $15 billion in last 10 years
which were currently being implemented with advance stage, and now this forum for
enhancing regional cooperation would focus on three main areas of energy
security, communication and trade facilitation and next 10 year strategy would be
placed with the consultation of all 10 member states.
Rune Storem said that the TAPI was at quite advanced stage as gas price
agreement was on cards. The regional states have made significant progress and
the stage is set when it will be on the ground, he maintained.
He said that the ADB planned to provide financing for Peshawar-Torkham road in
2012 that would help to grant easy transportation of goods. He said that CAREC-
SAARC cooperation was the dream of future as it was not yet on the negotiation
table of member countries. He said that the member countries had decided to select
non-controversial areas in order to enhance cooperation on the basis of better
economic returns.

KARACHI: Pakistan has huge reserves of coal and it provides the best solution for
its energy crises, speakers at an energy awareness conference said Saturday.
Ammar Ali Talaat manager strategic planning and business development KESC
said coal is keeping pace with consumer electric demand and according to a recent
study coal will still account for about 45-50 percent of world’s power generation in
2025.
KESC has signed MoU with a Chinese company to convert two of their existing
boilers of Bin Qasim Thermal Power Station from furnace oil to coal. The
conversion aims to reduce KESC’s reliance on furnace oil and result in cost savings
for the company and the consumers in the form of tariff reduction. The KESC has
partnered with a British company who will do the mining while KESC will put up a
power plant of 300 megawatt, which will be enhanced to 1200 megawatt in the
future. The speakers pointed out in Pakistan the potential 3000 megawatt power
plants run on furnace oil and if measures are taken to convert these power plants to
coal, the country will be in a position to save approximately one billion dollars. ppi

Pak-China FTA expansion in June
ISLAMABAD, Mar 22 (APP): Pakistan and China will discuss expansion of Free
Trade Agreement (FTA) between the two countries in the coming June with an aim
to boost bilateral trade.“The concerned officials from Pakistan would visit Bejing in
June and hold detailed discussions with their counterparts on the issues of
eliminating the tariffs and prepare a comprehensive package for the implementation
of the second phase of the FTA,” a top official of the Ministry of Commerce told
APP.
The first phase of the FTA is scheduled to end on December 31, 2012, which will
be followed by the second phase from January 2013, the official added.
The respective organizations of the two governments have finalized the modalities
for the negotiations for the implementation of second phase of the FTA during a
two-day long session held in Islamabad during the second week of this month.
According to Ministry of Commerce sources, both the countries will eliminate tariffs
on around 90% products, both in terms of tariff lines and trade volume within a
reasonable period of time on the basis of consultation and accommodation of the
concerns of both the countries.
Meanwhile, Joint Secretary Commerce Rehmatullah Khan told APP that during the
upcoming discussions on FTA, efforts would be made to minimize the trade gap
According to trade data, the overall trade between the two countries in 2010 was
$8.67 billion, showing an increase of 28 per cent. Chinese exports to Pakistan stood
at US$6.9 billion, showing an increase of 36 per cent while its imports from Pakistan
were recorded at US$1.78 billion, showing upward trend of 37 per cent, he added.
“During the recent negotiations, both the sides have realized that the growing trade
gap needs to be minimized,” Rehmatullah remarked.
He said that China was a huge economy and was having trade surplus with all
partner countries, adding that the FTA proposals would be formulated in a way to
help Pakistan boost exports to China to minimize the gap.
He said that enhancing trade volume between the two countries was a healthy sign,
adding that negotiations for the second phase would also deal with this particular
issue.
It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan and China signed Free Trade
Agreement in June 2006 which came into effect from July 2007. The FTA was
aimed at reducing tariffs on each other’s imports in two phases.

ABU DHABI — Pakistan is set to increase its trade volume with GCC countries from
the current $59 billion to $350 billion by 2020 with the UAE being the largest
partner.
Pakistan’s Ambassador to UAE Jamil Ahmed Khan, a career diplomat, said the
trade relations between Pakistan and the region have been thriving despite of
economical turbulences worldwide.
“The trade relations between Pakistan and the UAE was on the rise due to
economic changes. Trade with the UAE and other GCC countries are going to take
a lead in accordance to surveys and studies. The volume of trade is going to
enhance from $59 billion to $350 billion by the year 2020,” Khan told Khaleej Times
in an exclusive interview.
449
Tue
He said Pakistan being so close to the UAE should participant in enhanced trade
activities, and Pakistan’s traders and exporters need to work on this vision so they
are able to match their output with the requirements of UAE and other GCC
countries in the coming nine years.
“The embassy will be all out to guide them through in their endeavour to upgrade
their system for the enhancement of export from Pakistan,” he promised.
About the two-way trade with the UAE, he said the Emirates was the third highest
partner with Pakistan worldwide, and will soon be the first highest partner in the
near future.
“We have approximately a $7 billion two-way trade volume between the two
countries. This is annual average figure,” he said.
Khan, who also served in the United Nations in different parts of the world as an
special envoy, said there had been “a gradual increase [in the trade exchange] until
the recession hit the entire world,” and that time there was a slight decline otherwise
there has been almost an eight per cent of increase in the trade volume between
the two countries. It was from 2001 until the recession hit the world in 2008 and
onward.” He added the UAE has been the largest investor in Pakistan for a quite
some time.
“Even now we see it as one of the highest investors in Pakistan. The UAE
investment we see in Pakistan, it covers many fields. We have investors like Al
Dhabi Group, etisalat, petroleum companies and so on. There are many UAE
investors in Pakistan now.”
Remittances boom
When asked about remittances from 1.5 million Pakistani expatriates in the country,
Khan said there has constant increase making the UAE the world largest remitter.
“We have now surpassed all the countries all over the world in terms of remittances
from overseas Pakistanis. We [in the UAE] are the number one country in the world
in remittances, sending almost $2 billion to Pakistan [on an average annually]. Now
we have even crossed Saudi Arabia,” he explained.
Shaikh Khalifa Coastal Refinery
On the long-awaited Shaikh Khalifa Coastal refinery of Abu Dhabi’s International

Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC) planned for construction in Balochistan,
Khan said there have been delays due to some feasibility and procedural matters
that are going on.
“We are strongly hoping that this refinery will finally be established in the near
future. The process is still going on.” The Shaikh Khalifa Point Refinery is a joint
venture between IPIC, the international investment wing of Abu Dhabi National Oil
Company (ADNCO), and Pak-Arab Refinery Company (Parco), a joint venture
between Pakistan and Abu Dhabi. The project was set for inauguration in 2007 but
has been delayed for various reasons.
In 2009, IPIC indicated it said it will delay or postpone the investment plan for the
construction of the refinery in insurgency-hit Balochistan province of Pakistan due to
some due to some problems and issues.
Agro industry
When asked about attracting investors from the GCC in the country’s agro-industry,
the ambassador said: “Pakistan could be a food basket for the entire GCC region,
and we have already got not only requests but we have allocated thousands of
acres of lands to various groups for agricultural farming for the purpose of having
the secure food supply chain. We also have the understanding that more and more
groups are coming to Pakistan to have chunk of land to become the food basket of
not only the UAE but the entire GCC.”

Tue
Khan said Pakistan has the capacity with surplus wheat last year. “We have surplus
rice this year, and we had surplus rice and wheat last year. This year we are going
to have, according to the estimates, surplus cotton. So we have everything in
agricultural field in surplus. We can provide the surplus food to this region.”
Referring to investments in mineral resources, the ambassador said Pakistan was

already an important partner with the region in terms of downstream oil and gas
projects. “We are already providing the region the assistance in terms of their
downstream projects [in oil and gas]. In terms of upstream, we could think of doing
it at a later stage. It requires a lot of investment from the side of any country that
thinks of upstream, but downstream yes we are already there. We are already so
many petroleum products and provide to the region,” Khan concluded.

All Day (The writer is a London-Lahore based businessman and a Pakistan
Muslim League -- Dr Ashraf Chohan MPA
(The writer is a London-Lahore based businessman and a Pakistan Muslim League
(N) MPA from Gujranwala)
Without leadership, people are crowds but with leadership crowds can
become a nation. Although Muslims migrated from the Western side of
the present Pakistan and Eastern Europe ruled India for nearly a
thousand years, but during the English rule Muslims became less
educated, financially weak and population in the Indian sub-continent.
It was the leadership of Mr Jinnah who became their voice and
negotiated with the English rulers to create a large country which had
two parts on each side of India. Had the country only followed the
leader after the death of Mr Jinnah, the then Pakistan was in an
excellent strategic position to sustain as a strong nation and develop
beside India and could have maintained equal relations, hence would
have been in a much better position to resolve the mutual disputes.
It is very sad that Pakistan had no immediate leader after Mr Jinnah
who could have taken over the responsibility of building the nation.
An ambitious Army General took over power soon after the birth of the
country. The newly formed constitution was disregarded. No
institution could build itself. Dictatorial rule overruled all the
existing infrastructure which was left by the English rule.
Although Mr Bhutto managed to enjoy very popular support and won two
elections, but today the nation cannot remember him for anything else
but creating a severe conflict in the UN and isolated Pakistan
internationally and within the country became so unpopular that he had
to be removed by the Army and then, unfortunately, he was hanged.
Presently, although the media is promoting certain people who do not
enjoy a single seat in Parliament and we have to see faces giving
lectures to the nation, but they are not in a position to win their
own seats in Parliament. Believe me, this only happens in Pakistan.
These so-called leaders, promoted by the media, are perhaps the
establishment, namely Imran Khan, a few ex-Army generals, Islamic
parties, but the fact remains that in the country the two largest
parties include Pakistan Peoples Party who conducted the last election
under the leadership of Benezire Bhutto and yet have to see and go
through a test of the leadership of Mr Zarbari. Of course the other
largest party is PMLN led by Mr Sharif. After these two parties the
nation has given a mandate to National Awami Party, MQM, PMLQ and then
a few independent or very small parties.
The present and immediate future of this country centres around Mr
Sharif. His past performance speaks for itself. He started his
politics in 1985 and became very popular Chief Minister of the Punjab
and developed the Punjab during this period, which is part of the
history. He became Prime Minister twice, but only for a very short
period. Even then he was able to make a mark in the history of the
country while tremendous efforts to develop the nuclear deterrent
which has helped Pakistan to sustain against mighty India and will
continue doing so in the time to come. Mr Sharif was known as a
person who would do and deliver and without having any pennies in the
Exchequer he started developing roads and motorways which are being
extended throughout the country. His other efforts to boost the
economy cannot be ignored.
The countries which have developed for their own defence and more
importantly for their systems to look after their nationals have been
able to do so because of democracy, independence, justice and an
opportunity for all. None of the countries have developed through
dictatorship and the remaining so-called dictators and kingdoms are
being demolished one after the other after three very lengthy martial
laws. It was Mr Sharif who had the heart and courage to meet his
arch-rival, the leader of the Peoples Party in London in 2007 and
managed to sign a contract, famously known as the COD, so that at
453
Fri
least the two major parties would resist any further difficulties and
also managed to take on board a few other smaller parties as well.
This document is still resisting Army rule and is a major blockage in
front of military intervention. Although the Peoples Party backed out
immediately after the birth of this contract, but yet the same party
refers to this document whenever it suits them.
In the past days, Mr Sharif had been under tremendous stress due to
failure of the Peoples Party Government to amend the allegations of
serious corruption, mismanagement, unjustified appointments and
wastage of huge resources. The Sharif worked very hard to restore the
judiciary. He had to go on the road for long marches and this was not
without threat to his life. He gave a number of notices to the
present Government and warned them to improve the government. It was
very easy for PMLN to join PMLQ and other smaller parties and had
formed their own government and had removed the corrupt government of
the Peoples Party but Mr Sharif believed that the party which has the
majority must complete the tenure of five years. Very recently he
gave an agenda list to the government to improve the standards for the
government and alleviate poverty, work for power generation, assure a
supply of gas, electricity, water and decrease the prices of
commodities. The Government led by PPP gave no attention to these
demands.
This hard work took its toll on the health of Mr Sharif and,
unfortunately, last week he some heart problems and he had to be
admitted in a London hospital in an emergency. Thank God that it was
only a minor problem which has been successfully rectified and Mr
Sharif has returned home.
Pakistan needs a leader like him much more than before. Pakistan is
facing internal and external attacks, continuing to kill Pakistani
nationals and violate borders. Internally there is repeated bombing
on religious and security establishments. On top of that there are
regular interruptions in the supply of gas and electricity. The bills
of these suppliers have sky-rocketed, joblessness is at a peak and it
has become extremely difficult for the poorest to make both ends meet.
In this situation, Pakistan needs Mr Sharif desperately to come
forward again and take charge of the government and solve all these
problems which are gradually getting more complicated.
We thank God for restoring a full recovery to Mr Sharif and soon he
shall return to the country to lead the nation.
Kind Regards,
Chaya Mistry
Secretary to Dr Ashraf Chohan MPA

Pakistan progresses with two gas pipelines projects
Saad Hasan
KARACHI: Pakistan is moving ahead with its plans to build two trans-national
pipelines for the import of gas to meet its increasing energy needs, top government
officials said on Saturday.
Both Iran-Pakistan (IP) pipeline and the much longer Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-

Pakistan-India (TAPI) pipeline are vital for the country, which has seen cuts in gas
supply to factories, they said.
“Let me assure you there is no pressure on me to slow down work on the IP,” said
Hilal Raza, the Managing Director Interstate Gas Company (ISGC), which is
spearheading the two projects. “Turkmen gas is not a substitute for Iranian gas. We
need both of them.”
The United States and Asian Development Bank (ADB) support the 1,700-kilometer
TAPI pipeline.
President Zardari along with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Turkmenistan

President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and Indian Petroleum Minister Murli Deora
signed the inter-governmental agreement for $7.6 billion TAPI last year.
Renewed interest of Pakistan’s government in TAPI created an impression that it

might abandon the IP project because of US opposition to it.
The two pipelines will bring 2.075 billion cubic feet per day of gas into Pakistan. As
per the official schedule, the first flows from Iran are expected in December, 2014,
while TAPI will be completed by the end of 2016.
Raza said that demand for gas, which meets Pakistan’s 50 percent energy needs,
was too much. “Imports from these two pipelines and the LNG (liquefied natural
gas) will all be absorbed by the system.”
Domestic gas production stands at 4 BCFD. The demand has crossed 5 BCFD,
according to some estimates.
A round of talks among representatives of the four nations involved in TAPI pipeline
concluded in Islamabad on Friday. The talks are in the initial stages and price of
Turkmenistan’s gas is yet to be decided.
“The next meeting will be held in Delhi from April 25. Right now, the four countries
are working on composition of gas, schedule for completion of the project and other
documentation,” said Raza.
About the IP pipeline, he said that the gas sales purchase agreement or GSPA had
been signed with Iran and only the feasibility study needed to be completed.
There have been continuous delays in award of consultant contract for engineering
deign of the 1900-km IP pipeline. The contract for bankable feasible study and route
survey was supposed to be completed in June 2010.
Additional Secretary Zafar Iqbal said that it was too early to suggest how the
country intends to finance the two projects.
The cost of IP pipeline will come to around $1.5 billion. It will zigzag 1900 kilometers
from Iran’s South Pars field to Sindh. Different routes are being considered for the
project, but the most likely path is through Gwadar district, Balochistan.
The security of the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline remains a big issue. Baloch militants
who demand greater provincial autonomy attack gas pipeline infrastructure
regularly.
455
Sun
But the cost of protecting the TAPI pipeline, which will pass through Afghanistan,
would be much more and add up to consumer tariff.

Pakistan and India can boost their mutual trade in Information and Technology (IT)
sector up to colossal US$ 5 billion through joint-ventures, investment and exchange
of expertise.
This was stated by Jehan Ara President Pakistan Software Houses Association in
the exclusive interview on her return to Pakistan after leading a delegation of
country’s top-notch figures of IT industry.
Briefing about her business trip, she said Pakistanis and Indian IT titans have
decided to carry on their efforts for developing an “India-Pakistan e-land” at the
border where people can meet, interact, teach, learn and jointly develop intellectual
property.
They will work to convince their respect governments to allow telecommunications

access to work across borders. They will continue to investment in young people,
facilitate exchanges, and provide education and skilling to enable them to achieve
their potential, Jehan Ara said.
Pakistani and Indian IT committee of Aman Ki Asha has successfully held the
bilateral talks separately on both sides of borders in December and March aimed at
enhancing trade ties in the field of IT, which is one of six sectors with great trade
attraction between two countries.
“Indian IT market is huge with volumetric exports but it is lacking of high quality of
services, in contrast, Pakistani market is small comparatively but has gained
tremendous reputation with its products and services,” she said and added “these
two countries will aid each other to enhance their quantum and quality of IT services
and products.”
Pakistani IT firms are experts of gaming and animation whereas Indians are master
service providers of IT-enable services, she said. How will it conducive the India set
up their BPO’s in Pakistan and exchange expertise of gaming and animation from
Pakistan, she further explained.
There are lots of hurdles to set up software houses in each other countries by the
two states but it is an easy solution to make a joint platform in third country such as
UAE, Singapore or Malaysia, she said.
Visa policy by both states to IT entrepreneurs is very strict with tough conditions.
Besides, there is no bank of Pakistan in India and Indian in Pakistan to ensure letter
of credits (LCs) facility and exchange of money by the two sides. Therefore, these
measures must be resolved by the both government to facilitate entrepreneurs of
their countries, she said.
The third venue is the most viable option for IT entrepreneurs of India and Pakistan
as a matter of fact that they could start work on mutual project at the earliest, which
will pave the way towards real business and trade opportunities at cities of each
other countries, President Pasha said.
She added the real growth in trade between the two countries particularly in the
field of IT could multiply significantly when India and Pakistan establish and operate
their offshore offices at each other lands.
She said the two countries have large young populations whose energies can, with
proper education and skills training, be utilized productively in order to reap the
‘demographic dividend’ and build collaborative projects between the youth of both
countries.
These countries have much to offer each other, with Pakistan providing a host of IT
graduates that India could utilize by building collaborative development centers and
India providing skills development to the significant IT product companies in
Pakistan. The companies could also jointly tap the huge domestic market in both
countries and global opportunities for IT solutions especially in emerging markets in
the Middle East, Africa and South America, Jehan Ara said.

All Day 34% Increase in Pak-Malaysia Bilateral Trade -- APP
34% Increase in Pak-Malaysia Bilateral Trade
April 11, 2011
Share this story on Facebook.
ISLAMABAD: The trade between Pakistan and Malaysia has touched $2.5 billion
mark in 2010 registering an over all increase of 34% compared to total trade of
$1.86 billion of last year.
Pakistan’s High Commissioner in Malaysia Masood Khalid giving details of the

bilateral trade Monday said since the signing of FTA between Pakistan and
Malaysia in 2007, the bilateral trade was following an upward trajectory, said a
press release received here on Monday.
$2.5 Billion Trade: According to latest data released by Ministry of International

Trade and Industry (MITI) Malaysia, the bilateral trade which stood at $ 1.362 billion
in 2007 has increased to $ 2.5 billion in 2010. The High Commissioner said the
balance of trade is heavily tilted in favour of Malaysia which needs to be narrowed
by including non traditional items in the bilateral trade like marble and granite, gem
and jewellery, fruits and vegetable, surgical, cutlery and sports goods, spices,
leather, handicrafts, pharmaceutical products, ready-made garments and meat
products.
He suggested that Malaysian side may send a trade delegation to Pakistan for
identifying specific products for import by Malaysia. He said Pakistan High
Commission is pursuing a number steps to increase the exports from Pakistan to
Malaysia. Recently, import of beef from Pakistan had started which was now
available throughout Malaysia. “Meanwhile, Nili Ravi buffalo of Pakistan has been
exported to Malaysia to help pilot breeding project and efforts are under-way to
export Pakistani mangoes to ensure their availability throughout Malaysia”, he
added.
The High Commissioner said as an endeavour to bring private sectors of the two
countries closer to each other and to forge cooperation between the two countries
in different areas Board Of Investment (BOI) of Pakistan and Malaysian Industrial
Development Authority (MIDA) had jointly organised a one day seminar in Kuala
Lumpur recently. He said a number of MoUs and agreements have been signed
between the two countries to forge meaningful and result oriented cooperation in
agriculture, halal sector, higher education as well as in the field of transportation
besides Pakistan-Malaysia Joint Business Council had also been launched to
promote interaction between the private sectors of two countries.
Pakistani Products: According to data the exports of Pakistani rice to Malaysia had
registered an increase of 124.80% in 2010 with export of RM 198.62 million as
against RM 88.3 million of last year. The cotton yarn registered an increase of
66.21% with an export of RM 37.87 million in 2010 compared to RM 22.78 million
last year. Bed linen registered an unprecedented increase of 77.33% with an export
of RM 3.42 million compared to RM 1.93 million last year. However, the exports
which remained into the negative zone were fish, onion, maize, woven fabrics and
synthetic staple fibre, electronic appliances, line telephony, part and accessories.
On the Malaysian side, the biggest increase in export to Pakistan was recorded in
Palm Oil which registered 45.14% increase; natural rubber registered an increase
of 40.57%; fibre board wood registered an increase of 18.46% whereas the items
which remained in the negative zone were insecticides, synthetic yarn and
automatic data processing machine, etc.

Zardari wants $2 Billion Pak-Turkish trade volume
April 12, 2011
ANKARA: President Asif Ali Zardari arrived in Ankara on Monday on a four-day

official visit to hold talks with the Turkish leadership for further cooperation and
strengthen the existing bilateral ties.
He will hold meetings with Turkish President Abdullah Gul, Prime Minister Recep
Tayyip Erdogan and Speaker Turkish Grand National Assembly Mehmet Ali Sahin.
Bilateral Ties: During his stay, President Zardari will visit the mausoleum of founder
of the modern state of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, to pay his respects. The
Turkish president will confer the Turkish state order medal Devlet Nishan on Zardari
in a special investiture ceremony for his contribution to promote bilateral ties
between the two countries. Zardari will also meet Turkish businessmen and
members of various think tanks, academia and media. A delegation of leading
businessmen from Pakistan will also visit Ankara who will interact with Turkish
businessmen and discuss prospects for joint ventures in various areas of the
economy.
Pakistani Ambassador to Turkey, Tariq Azizuddin, said that the visit would focus on
enhancing bilateral trade with an effort to bring it at par with the Pak-Turkish political
partnership. The leadership of the two countries has been holding consultations to
increase bilateral trade, which was $752 million two years back, he added. Owing to
concerted efforts of both the governments, the bilateral trade rose to $1 billion by
2010, Azizuddin said, adding that now the two countries want to take the trade
volume to $2 billion by the end of 2012.

resolved to continue working hand in hand to exploit the vast potential in industrial,
energy, communication and infrastructure sectors of their countries to create
vibrantly growing economies.
Addressing a joint press conference after a meeting between the two leaders and
delegation level talks here at Cankaya Presidential Palace, President Zardari said
that his visit would add a new chapter of cooperation and engagement between the
two countries.
During the meeting, the two leaders held detailed discussions on bilateral matters
and regional and international issues of mutual interest.
President Zardari was assisted in the talks by Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar,
Railways Minister Ghulam Ahmed Bilour, State Minister for Foreign Affairs Hina
Rabbani Khar and Chairman of Board of Investment Saleem Mandviwala.
The President was on his first bilateral visit to Turkey and his earlier five visits to the
country were to attend trilateral summits on Afghanistan and international
conferences.
The two leaders said that the talks focused on making operational Islamabad-
Istanbul-Tehran freight train. President Gul said that the project would provide a
trade route from Islamabad to European countries with goods taking about 11 days
to reach Turkish markets.
He said that the railway track already existed but it needed to be upgraded and both
the countries agreed to encourage private sectors to generate funds for the project.
The train is an important component of efforts of both the countries to build trade
and energy corridors connecting South Asia and Central Asia, he said.
President Zardari said that Pakistan attached great importance to its relations with
Turkey, which was the only Islamic country of the NATO (North Atlantic Treaty
Organization) alliance and was also a member of the G-20, the economic grouping
of the 20 biggest economies of the world.
During the talks, the two leaders expressed the resolve to raise their unique
brotherly ties to pursue common strategic goals for achieving sustainable political
and social stability and economic advancement.
They discussed prospects of various projects relating to infrastructure development,

banking, investment, energy and trade and talked about ways to increase frequency
of cultural and parliamentary exchanges, travel and tourism and people-to-people
contacts.
President Zardari apprised President Gul of his government’s efforts to rid Pakistan
of the threat of terrorism and address the root causes of poverty and social
deprivation, which create conditions for extremism.
President Zardari informed his Turkish counterpart of the policies that make
Pakistan an attractive place for investment for the Turkish companies, which are
already active in the country on numerous important projects.
Pakistan has a policy of establishing Special Economic Zones where investors will
get incentives and it also allows remitting of capital and profits gained by foreign
investors to their home countries, he said.

Agreeing that Turkish construction, engineering and energy companies have the
financial strength and capacity to undertake mega projects, the leaders resolved
that their governments would extend all support to the private sector in these
sectors.
The two Presidents expressed confidence that their mutual efforts would help them
in meeting the target of raising their bilateral trade volume to two billion dollars by
2012.
President Zardari termed the decision by the Supreme Court to accept a reference
filed by him to revisit the judicial murder of PPP founder Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto
as “landmark” and reflective of “political and democratic growth.”
The government wanted to rectify a historical fault, he said adding, “We do not want
revenge in history … we just want that a historical wrong is corrected. If in future
someone commits a similar wrong, then he would know that the history will never
forgive him.”
To a question the President said Pakistan’s views on Afghanistan were clear and it
believed success of Afghan-led reconciliation process was vital for the regional
peace and stability.
He said Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkey were coordinating at the political, military
and intelligence levels to find a solution that was acceptable to the people of
Afghanistan.
“War is defeat of the civilized mindset,” he said, adding that Pakistan would support
the Afghan government and people in maintaining peace and stability.
To a question, President Gul said recently the armed forces of Pakistan,

Afghanistan and Turkey conducted joint military exercises. Turkey many times had
the ISAF command in Afghanistan, it contributed 2000 troops for the country and
then made significant contributions in improving health and educational facilities in
Afghanistan, he said.
“But military aid is not enough. We have to win hearts in
Afghanistan.” he said adding, “2011 is a critical year as foreign forces will be

retreating from Afghanistan, whose army and police will take control of security. Our
ultimate goal is to ensure peace and security in Afghanistan through our collective
efforts.”
To a question about efforts to end energy shortages in
Pakistan, President Gul said he himself contacted Turkish energy companies who
wer willing to invest in projects for power generation in Pakistan through coal and
wind.
Gul said that Turkey has a customs union with Europe and it can be of help to
Pakistan for its exports to European nations. Turkey is a hub for flights to all parts of
Europe and being at the crossroads of both Europe and Asia, Turkey will extend
benefits to Pakistan in gaining economic mileage, he added.
President Zardari expressed gratitude to the people and the government of Turkey
for always standing by Pakistan’s side and recalled the outflowing of help and
assistance in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake and floods in Pakistan.
He said a visit to Turkey was just like visiting home and the two countries were
bound by strong bonds of deep friendship, similarity of views and commonality of
interests.
Earlier on his arrival at the Presidential Palace, President Zardari and his delegation
were warmly received by President Abdullah Gul.

Gilani looks to boost trade with Kazakhstan
KARACHI - Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, along with a trade delegation, is
likely to visit Kazakhstan this month, while the two countries have agreed to boost
bilateral trade, through various steps discussed in the seventh session of the Pak-
Kazakh Joint Ministerial Commission (JMC), held on Friday in Islamabad.
This would be Gillani’s second visit to Kazakhstan following his visit last month.
Pakistan has already stepped up efforts to enhance trade relations with the
landlocked Central Asian Republics in the last couple of years. Visit of the prime
minister with selected Pakistani exporters/importers to Kazakhstan would promote
bilateral trade – which is currently highly negligible, sources said.
The PM, who is scheduled to visit the foreign country for two days from April 26-27,
2011, would also be accompanied by a delegation of businessmen, traders led by
Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), they added.
During the forth coming visit, sources said, various agreements and Memorandum
of Understandings (MoUs) were also expected to be signed between the two
countries.
The two sides, sources claimed, would also check implementation status of the
understandings made earlier – one of which was the ‘Quadrilateral Agreement’ to
have a land route among Pakistan, China and other Central Asian States. Pakistan
was interested to use the proposed land route, which links it with China, Kyrgyzstan
and Kazakhstan. This land route will help enter markets of Central Asia, in addition
to it being an alternative way for export to reach the Russian market.
Under the proposed route, sources said, goods from China were to reach the
Bishkek market within a short time of eight to ten hours. Pakistan's goods, which
are exported via Shahra-e-Karakoram to China, could easily be exported to the two
Central Asian Republics (CARs) and then to the Russian border with comparatively
lesser freight cost, sources claimed. The route was important for Pakistan, which
enjoys the Quadrilateral Agreement and Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with China,
they added.
The FPCCI group, led by Senator Ghulam Ali, would also meet members of
Kyrgyzstan Chambers of Commerce and Industry, and other local businessmen to
seek potential of joint investment and bilateral trade. The visit of PM Gilani was also
aimed to increase bilateral trade volume. Interestingly, Pakistan was exporting
goods worth a meager $1.0 million, while it was importing around $4.0 million worth
goods from the foreign country.
Seventh Pak-Kazakh JMC: Earlier on Friday, the two countries have also agreed to
promote cooperation in various economic and technical fields during seventh
session of the Pak-Kazakh Joint Ministerial Commission (JMC) in Islamabad. The
session was co-chaired by Minister for Water and Power Syed Naveed Qamar and
Vice Minister of Transport and Communication of Kazakhstan Azat Bekturov.
According to sources, the two sides have discussed various steps for promotion of
trade, agriculture, joint venture in fields of manufacturing/SMEs, petroleum and

WASHINGTON - 16th April 2011
By APP
Finance Minister Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh has sought American private sector’s
investment in energy sector to overcome gruelling electricity shortages as he
identified a number of opportunities existing in the key field.
Dr Shaikh, who is in Washington to attend the IMF-World Bank meetings, told

Sat
members of Pakistan-US Business Council Friday afternoon that Islamabad is
carrying out economic reforms and remains committed to facilitating foreign
investment.
Pakistan, he said, looks forward to investment for development of massive Thar

coal reserves, completion of Diamer Basha Dam and other hydro-electricity projects
as part of efforts to meet its expanding energy requirements, boost industrial growth
and step up the process of economic development.
In the field of agriculture, he said, Pakistan seeks to increase productivity while

investment in infrastructure projects would help raise the standard of living in the
country.
“We expect good results from the interaction,” Shaikh said after his discussions with
representatives of major American companies at the US Chamber of Commerce.
The finance minister also hinted at discussions on new projects with the World
Bank.
Hafeez Shaikh spoke about the Pakistani government’s efforts to contain inflation,
bolster revenue generation and achieve better growth prospects despite
catastrophic floods last year. He was upbeat on substantial growth in exports this
year, reflecting a 26 per cent increase over last year.
Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States Husain Haqqani drew attention of the
forum to the importance of strengthening economic and trade ties between the two
countries.
Jay Collins, chairman of Pakistan-US Business Council, said economic ties are a
vital aspect of the strategic relationship between two countries and praised
Ambassador Haqqani’s dedication to promoting economic relations.
During the visit, the finance minister is scheduled to have a meeting with World
Bank and IMF leaders. The finance minister will also hold bilateral dialogue with US
government on advancing economic ties and meet representatives belonging to the
departments of State and Treasury, as well as USAID and White House officials.
Dr Shaikh will also meet with his counterparts from China, Saudi Arabia, Germany,
Afghanistan, Iran and Britain’s Minister of International Development.

Pakistani, Chinese finance ministers vow to further strengthen economic ties
By APP
Pakistani and Chinese finance ministers reaffirmed their countries’ resolve to further
expand and strengthen bilateral economic and trade ties and coordinate closely on
policies at financial institutions.
Finance Minister Dr Abdul Hafeez Shaikh and his Chinese counterpart Xie Xuren
met here on the sidelines of the IMF-World Bank annual meetings.
“China and Pakistan have historic and close ties and we discussed progress
towards speedy implementation of agreements and MoUs signed during Chinese
Premier Wen Jiabao’s visit,” Dr Shaikh told APP after the meeting at the World
Bank.
Both the finance ministers discussed economic reforms. The Chinese finance
leader lauded Islamabd for undertaking economic reforms. Xuren briefied Dr Shaikh
on discussions at the recent G-20 meeting.
Hafeez Shaikh said that Pakistan would welcome Chinese investment in petroleum
sector either through new investments or buying stakes in existing enterprises.
Hafeez Shaikh held out Islamabad’s commitment to facilitate Chinese investment in

various sectors of the economy and invited Chinese companies to locate their
businesses in the country. The two finance leaders also discussed currency swap.

UBL to help Chinese investors to explore Pak, ME
Beijing—Pakistan leading private sector bank, United Bank Limited (UBL), is
offering to help Chinese enterprises explore the international markets in Pakistan
and Middle East countries. UBL has witnessed robust growth and closer
cooperation with Chinese business partners since establishing an office in Beijing in
2007, according to a bank announcement on Saturday.
It facilitates Chinese companies in contracting, trade and treasury services by

taking advantage of its long experience operating in Pakistan and Middle East
countries.
Wajahat Husain, the company’s Group Executive and Head of International said at
a reception in Beijing the other day that “we have provided background support,
such as the environment, policy and social customs, for Chinese investors in four
countries - Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Yemen.” The trade between
the United Arab Emirates and China has reached around $24 billion, and UBL,

Sun
which has its international headquarters based in the UAE and strong relationships
with government as well as top tier business groups, can be seen as making a
positive contribution to the trade growth, said Wajahat Husain.
He also said Chinese investors show a growing, new interest in Bahrain, although
the trade volume between the two holds at $0.77 billion. UBL’s Bahrain branch
mainly participates in infrastructure, manufacturing, trading and retail.
Tianjin Pipe International Economic and Trading Cooperation has been in

cooperation with UBL for about 20 years, and Xu Xiuqing, the Chinese company’s
Middle East and Former Soviet Regional Manager, said she is very satisfied with
the high quality and good service of UBL. In Wajahat Husain’s view, Chinese
investors “research well” before investing in foreign countries and UBL is committed
to be a “trusted partner” to Chinese out-bound business as the two neighbors
celebrate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations.—APP

Balochistan to get representation in Pak Army as per population share: COAS
GWADAR - 18th April 2011
By APP
Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani said on Monday that youths of
Balochistan would be recruited in Pakistan Army according to percentage of their
province’s share in the total population of the country.
He said this while addressing a ceremony of Gwadar Institute of Technology here.
He said that 4000 Baloch youths had completed their training and joined the
Pakistan Army while during the current year more 5000 youths would be recruited in
the Army. The recruitment process has already been started in this regard, he
added.
He said that the rules and regulations in connection with the recruitment process
would be relaxed for youths of Balochistan so that maximum people could join the
Pakistan Army from this province.
The COAS said that the Balochistan Chief Minister was responsible for maintaining
peace in the province and Balochistan Frontier Corps would soon be replaced with
the Army battalion, deployed in Sui area of Dera Bugti district.

Mon
He said there was no military operation being carried out in any part of the province.
“Development and integrity of Pakistan links with the progress and prosperity of
Balochistan as this province is rich with natural resources of natural gas, oil, coal
and minerals” Gen. Kayani said adding that there was a need of technology and
skilled manpower to get benefits from these natural resources.
He said the Army Medical College would be established besides Combined Military
Hospital Quetta where students would get admission to four-year MBBS.
He hoped the Balochistan government would extend its cooperation to the Pakistan
Army to improve natural mines and mineral resources of Dukki and Musakhail
areas.
All Day Gulf Cooperation Council to sign free trade agreement with Pakistan
Gulf Cooperation Council to sign free trade agreement with Pakistan
Pakistan, all set to sign a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the Gulf Cooperation
Council (GCC), would be at a disadvantage compared to the gulf countries which
possess a huge economy. Pakistan must consider the weaker position of its own
economy and should look to avoid repeating mistakes, the country had committed,
during the FTA with China, sources told Pakistan Today. The country has exhibited
a huge trade difference with China after signing of FTA, as there has been an influx
of goods from the neighboring country in the last few years which took trade deficit
to around $4.0 billion.
The proposed FTA would not make a lot of difference in the duty structure, affecting
the present bilateral trade, as import duty of zero to five percent in the GCC
countries is already existent, they said. “Concerned authorities should thoroughly
examine future implications of any agreement prior to its signing,” they said, adding
that the trade difference between Pakistan and China has significantly widened
after implementation of the Pak-China FTA. Chinese cell phones, which have
captured almost 90 percent of the market in Pakistan after the FTA, are an example
while other foreign products have also easily captured a major share of the
domestic market, they claimed.
However, according to sources, Pakistan and GCC were about to sign the FTA as
negotiations over the draft of the proposed agreement were almost finalised.
Following the FTA, sources claimed that Pakistan was looking to boost its trade
volume with GCC countries from the current $59 billion to $350 billion by 2020.
As trade relations between Pakistan and GCC countries were expecting to be
multiplied in the near future, volume of trade will enter in the figure of hundreds. The
Ministry of Commerce and other concerned departments were also submitting their
inputs before formal signing of the agreement, while member countries of the
council were also convinced about the issue, sources claimed.
Proposals from both sides have also been discussed in various rounds of
negotiations on FTA during the last few years. Pakistan was also negotiating with
different member countries of GCC including Oman, Saudi Arabia, United Arab
Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait on the framework of FTA for the last four
years. Besides Pakistan, the United States was also interested to have an FTA with
the GCC, but some members of the council had raised objections.
However, proposal of including payment of the five percent duty by the
governments of GCC members with free trade agreements with the US into a
regional fund, tagging duty-free products exported under the FTAs, or routing them
via existing free trade zones in the region, was also under discussion. Pakistan is
trying hard to finalise the FTA at the earliest, while the third round of talks on the
issue are expected soon to conclude the discussion. The Pakistan’s ambassador to
Riyadh Umar Khan Sherazi had, earlier, claimed that FTA with GCC would be
signed before March this year.

“We have very close and longstanding relationship with Saudi Arabia and Ibrahim
Al-Assaf is a longtime friend of Pakistan. We explored ways to further expand
bilateral economic cooperation,” Hafeez Shaikh said.
He also reaffirmed Islamabad’s policy to facilitate foreign investment in various

sectors of the economy including energy as the country seeks to overcome
electricity shortages and spur industrial output.
The Pakistani finance minister also discussed economic cooperation with his
counterparts from neighbouring Iran and Afghanistan.
With Iranian Finance Minister Dr Seyed Shamsuddin Hosseini, Shaikh discussed

how the two countries could strengthen cooperation in trade and transport areas,
particularly toward materializing the proposed launch of a cargo train from Iran to
Turkey via Tehran.
Dr Shaikh also held talks with Afghan Finance Minister Omar Zakhilwal on
expanding bilateral commerce. At the invitation of Zakhilwal, a delegation of
Pakistani entrepreneurs will visit Afghanistan to look at investment opportunities in
fields like minerals development and communication.
“Yesterday, I also met with Chinese finance minister — these meetings with leaders
of neighbouring countries are part of our effort to focus on regional development
cooperation,” Shaikh said.

Pakistan test-fired Hatf 9; Nuclear-capable Missile
April 19, 2011
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has successfully test-fired a newly developed short-range

ballistic missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads on Tuesday.
The military said in a statement that the “Hatf 9″ missile with a range of 60 kilometres
(40 miles) “could carry nuclear warheads of appropriate yields with high accuracy”.
Deterrence Value: “The missile has been developed to add deterrence value to
Pakistan’s strategic weapons development programme at shorter ranges,” it said,
adding that “this quick response system addresses the need to deter evolving
threats”. South Asian rivals India and Pakistan — which have fought three wars, two
of them over the disputed Himalayan territory of Kashmir — have routinely carried
out missile tests since both demonstrated nuclear weapons capability in 1998.
Pakistan’s arsenal includes short-range, medium and long-range missiles named
after Muslim conquerors.
Pakistan carried out nuclear weapons tests in May 1998, following similar tests by
India. The neighbours were on the brink of a nuclear conflict in 2002 over tensions
about disputed Kashmir, but began a slow-moving peace dialogue in 2004, which
resumed in March after three years of suspension following November 2008
Mumbai attacks.

South Asian News Agency (SANA) ⋅ April 30, 2011 ⋅
ISLAMABAD(SANA): Minister for Railways Ghulam Ahmad Bilour has said that one
hundred and seventy-five new coaches have been imported to cope with the
demand of the passengers.
He informed the National Assembly during question hour on Friday that 124 first
class Sleeper Coaches have been replaced with AC Lower Coaches and attached
with various trains to cater the need of the public.
Responding to a supplementary question the Minister said that a proposal is under

consideration to lay down nine hundred kilometers rail track to connect Gwadar Sea
Port through rail link. He said that a huge investment is required to make Pakistan
Railways profitable.
Parliamentary Secretary for Food and Agriculture Liaquat Ali Khan informed the
House that sufficient stock of sugar is available in the country and the price of the
commodity is less as compared to other regional countries. He said that a number
of steps have been taken to enhance sugarcane production in order to reduce
dependency on sugar import.
Federal Minister Makhdoom Shahabuddin said that 1056 TB Centers are

operational in different parts of the country to provide free diagnostic and treatment
facilities to the tuberculosis patients.
He said that under Benazir Income Support Programme a Health Insurance Policy
is being formulated for the poor segment of the society.
Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar informed the House that

Gwadar Port to be connected through rail link: Bilour
ISLAMABAD: Minister for Railways Ghulam Ahmed Bilour Friday said a proposal
was under consideration to connect the Gwadar Deep Sea Port through a rail link of
Pakistan Railways.
He said feasibility study had been completed under which the Gwadar Port was
proposed to link with main railway network at Mastung located on Quetta-Taftan
section, while the length of proposed railway link would be 901 kilometres. At
National Assembly session, he said negotiations were underway with China to lay
the railway track, adding that a Chinese company had conducted a survey in this
regard while further terms and conditions were yet to be finalised.
He said Pakistan Railways was in dire need to get new locomotives and overhaul
the old ones besides improving infrastructure. This deficiency was causing hours-
delay in trains arrival and departure, he added.
Bilour had informed the House the Pakistan Railways had not received the Rs 11.6
billion grant approved by the Federal Cabinet even after passage of four months,
which was essential to improve its efficiency. “We are in dire need of funds to
purchase new locomotives and repair old-ones for improving its countrywide
480
Sat
operations,” he said.
He said the Ministry was considering a proposal of life insurance for those people
who lost their lives in rail related incidents. He said the entire railway network was
being equipped with modern signaling system, adding that Walkie-Talkie Radio sets
had been provided to train guards and relief trains.
He said installation of VHF radio set at each station on main line from Peshawar to
Karachi had been completed. “Installation of VHF Radio on 280 locomotives
running with Mail, Express, Passenger and Goods trains has also been completed,”
he said.
During last four years around 644 accidents took place over the railway network.
Out of these, 45 percent accidents took place at un-manned and manned level
crossings, he added. He said the train service on Sahiwal to Raiwind track would
hopefully start by end of this year.
Bilour said Pakistan Railways was granting 50 percent concession in economy

class and 25 percent concession in all AC classes to senior citizens who attained
the age of 65 years. “They can avail the concession in all trains except five non-stop
trains including Millat Express, Karakoram Express, Karachi Express, Islamabad
Express and Margala Express,” he said. app

International Liaison Commission of the Afghan parliament viewed the agreement

as an economy booster in the country and said Turkmenistan’s gas flow through
Afghanistan would help to strengthen business relations between the members of
the projects.
A member of international liaison commission of the Afghan House of

Representatives Mohammad Anwar Akbari while expressing happiness about the
move of the house said about 7,000 people will be assigned to ensure security to
the project in the country. After the completion of the project Afghanistan would
receive 1,200,000,000 cubic meters of gas and it would peak at more than 5 billion
cubic meters of gas within five years, Mr Akbari said.
“We will have support of a US company and estimations put the cost of the project
at around $7.8 billion. And construction work will begin by 2012 and it’s expected to
be completed by 2014,” Mr Akbari said.
Naheed Ahmadi Farid, an Afghan lawmaker who represents Herat province, said
“cooperation in improvement of gas and fuel industry is on top of our agenda.

All Day Trade Facilitation Programme for Pakistan
Trade Facilitation Programme for Pakistan
EFIC, ADB ink agreement
Staff Report
KARACHI: Australia’s Export Finance and Insurance Corporation (EFIC) will share
the risk that Asian Development Bank (ADB), through its Trade Finance
Programme, takes in guaranteeing letters of credit for exports of Australian goods to
Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka in order to make it easier to import crucial
Australian goods.
An agreement was signed in this regard on Tuesday.
Australia’s High Commissioner to Pakistan Tim George has welcomed the signing
of a trade facilitation agreement between the ADB and EFIC, which will help the
Pakistan economy.
This will help companies that struggle to get the trade finance they need to buy key
inputs for export production or end products from overseas, including from
Australia. A lack of trade finance holds back business and means less job creation,
ultimately restraining economic growth for regional economies.
“I am pleased to see this innovative agreement take place,” George said. “It will
greatly assist Pakistani and Australian companies to do business, which in turn is
good for the economy. Trade creates jobs, raises the standard of living and
promotes sustainable economy growth,” he said.
Australia is a major exporter to Pakistan. In 2009-10, oil seeds, fertilizers and coal
were among Australia’s biggest exports to Pakistan, which totalled to more than 610
million Australian dollars. Australia and Pakistan have a Joint Trade Committee
(JTC) mechanism to discuss opportunities to expand bilateral trade and investment,

Pakistan, France ink declarations on security, economic partnership
By Shafek E Koreshe & Shumaila Andleeb
PARIS, May 5 (APP): Pakistan and France on Thursday agreed on cooperation in
security, trade and economic partnership in a bid to further broaden their bilateral
relationship.Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani concluded his three-day official
visit with the signing of a Declaration on Security Cooperation along with his French
counterpart Francois Fillon.Minister of State for Foreign and Economic Affairs Hina
Rabbani Khar inked the agreement on Trade and Economic Partnership.
The two declarations were signed after the meeting of Prime Minister Gilani with the
French Prime Minister at his official residence.
A Joint Statement issued simultaneously from Islamabad and Paris stated that
during the talks the leaders of the two countries agreed on enhancing security
cooperation, intelligence sharing, defence cooperation, economic assistance, trade
and cooperation against terrorism.
Prime Minister Gilani told APP that his talks with the French leadership were “very
positive” and said his visit helped dispel the negative impression, created by the
Western media against Pakistan.
He said now it was the duty of the Pakistani media to tell the world that Pakistan
was a peace loving country and desired stability in the region.
Gilani stressed that the negative perceptions about Pakistan need to be corrected
and the world must realize the sacrifices of the people and security forces of the
country and help build its capacity to counter extremism and terrorism.
Prime Minister Fillon seconded the statement of President Nicholas Sarkozy who
yesterday in his talks with Prime Minister Gilani appreciated his political acumen
and described him as “an anchor of democracy”. He assured Pakistan of his
country’s full support in this regard.
The Prime Minister in his talks with the French leadership and its business
community urged them to invest in Pakistan and initiate joint ventures between their
private sectors so that economic activity is generated.
Prime Minister Gilani who was here at the invitation of the French leadership met
President Nicholas Sarkozy, Prime Minister Francois Fillon, and President of the
Senate Gerard Larcher, besides meeting Foreign Minister Alain Juppe and Defence
Minister Gerard Longuet.
The Joint Declaration said the two countries had in-depth discussions with the
French leadership on bilateral, regional and global issues.
The two sides also announced setting up of an administrating committee to facilitate
the establishment of Pakistan-France Joint Business Council and facilitate and
strengthen bilateral economic and commercial partnership.
The Joint Business Council was set up following Prime Minister Gilani’s address to
the French Business Confederation (MEDEF).
Pakistan and France value their partnership, which is characterized by close
coordination not only at the bilateral level but also in the context of the European
Union. France is the second largest trading partner of Pakistan.

All Day Pakistan and Kuwait will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
on energy cooperation, -- APP
ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan and Kuwait will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on energy
cooperation, under which Kuwait will extend financial and technical assistance for
two major gas import initiatives – Iran-Pakistan (IP) and Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-
Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline projects.
The MoU will be signed during the official visit of President Asif Ali Zardari to Kuwait
beginning May 7. Pakistan is currently importing oil from Kuwait on 60-day deferred
payments. Pakistan had earlier required extension in oil import on the deferred
payment facility from 60 to 90 days but Kuwait declined the request.
Sources said the petroleum ministry had no proposal during the president’s visit to
seek extension in oil imports on deferred payment and that it had already discussed
with the Kuwaiti government financing for IP and TAPI gas pipeline projects.
Under the MoU, Kuwait will also extend cooperation with the Geological Survey of
Pakistan (GSP) and will invest in oil and gas sectors to increase output to meet
domestic requirements of Pakistan.
Pakistan has signed Gas Sales Purchase Agreement (GSPA) with Iran for the IP
pipeline and awarded a consultancy contract to Germany-based firm ILF, which
would work with the National Engineering Services of Pakistan (Nespak). The
consultancy contract has been divided into two phases, costing $55 million.
Iran has laid a 900-kilometre pipeline and has completed a survey to lay pipeline on
the remaining 250 km to connect with Pakistan’s border. Pakistan will lay a 785km
pipeline that would cost $1.24 billion. Under the IP project, 750 million cubic feet per
day (mmcfd) of gas will be imported from Iran to generate power.
Under the TAPI gas pipeline, 3.2 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) of gas will be
imported from Turkmenistan – which will be shared by Afghanistan, Pakistan and
India. The project is estimated to cost $7.6 billion.
All participating countries are scheduled to meet in Afghanistan on May 13-14 to

resolve the issue of gas pricing and finalise GSPA which will be signed by July 31.

Pak-China friendship anchor of peace, stability: Gilani
* PM says relationship between countries unique example of abiding friendship,

mutual respect based on immeasurable trust
ISLAMABAD: The friendship between Pakistan and China is an anchor of peace

and stability and both countries will further strengthen their relations to promote
regional prosperity, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani said on Sunday.
Speaking at an event to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Pak-China diplomatic

relations at the Pakistan-China Friendship Centre, he said that a sincere friendship
and deep affection marked the relationship between the people of the two countries.
“We are proud to have China as our best and most trusted friend, and China will
always find Pakistan standing by its side at all times,” Gilani added.
The prime minister said that the relationship between Pakistan and China was a
unique example of abiding friendship, immense mutual respect and close
partnership based on immeasurable trust.
“When we speak of this friendship as being taller than the Himalayas and deeper
than the oceans it truly captures the essence of our relationship,” he said.
Prime Minister Gilani said that Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao’s visit last year was a
demonstration of the unique relationship. “The visit further strengthened the existing
cooperation between the two countries.”
He expressed confidence that the relationship between the two countries would
strengthen in the days to come.
“President Asif Ali Zardari has visited China six times, and each visit has been
beneficial and rewarding in one way or the other,” he said. “I am eagerly looking
forward to my forthcoming visit to China later this month. We have and continue to
greatly benefit from the support of the Chinese leadership. China’s unique
development experience is a model for developing countries like ours to learn from,”
Gilani added.
The prime minister said that China’s success in various fields was a matter of great
pride for the people and the government of Pakistan. “Today China is the world’s
second largest economy. It has achieved this success through hard work, ingenuity,
and above all through the wisdom and vision of its leadership,” he said.
Gilani said that Pakistan was fortunate to learn from the experience of a successful
friend and a great neighbour. “We are grateful to China for its commitment to share
its development experience with us,” he added.
Gilani said successive generations of leaders in Pakistan and China had nurtured
the Pak-China relationship with a common vision.
He recalled that Premier Zhou En Lai had once said, “Our relationship began with
the advent of mankind”.
“The experience of our friendship in the last 60 years is a proof to this statement.
The Silk Route of yester years has been replaced by the Karakoram Highway,
which was built with the joint efforts and sacrifices of our people. It stands out as a
testimony of our commitment to stand by each other,” Gilani said. app

Zardari invites Russia to invest in Pakistan’s trans-regional projects
By Mohammad Ilyas Khan
MOSCOW, May 11 (APP): President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday said that
Russia can invest in regional and trans-regional projects while benefitting from
Pakistan’s strategic location and investment friendly policies. Speaking at Skolkovo
Moscow School of Management here, he said both Pakistan and Russia share the
common objectives of peace and development and therefore it will be natural for the
two countries to cooperate for these goals. President Zardari said, “Our two
countries need to expand and diversify their economic cooperation by engaging the
corporate sectors. People to people contacts have their own dynamics to promote
relations between countries.”
The President said involving private entrepreneurs of the two countries is the key to
enhancing cooperation. He said that trade and investment are the key in today’s
international relations and Russia should take benefits from the investment friendly
policies of the government.
President Zardari sought Russian cooperation in developing and exploiting energy
resources in Pakistan since it has special expertise in mining and heavy industries.
He said Pakistan is facing energy shortage and Russia can facilitate the proposed
CASA 1000 and TAPI projects.
He said Moscow School of Management is a symbol of Russia’s drive for

modernization under its dynamic leadership.
|
This School has made great contribution to bringing stability to the global financial
and economic order, he added.
Later, the Chairman Board of Investment Salim H Mandviwala and the Head of
Russian National Investment Agency signed a Memorandum of Understanding on
behalf of their respective governments to promote and increase investment in each
other’s countries.

Beijing—Chairman Three Gorges Corporation (TGC) Cao Guangjing called on
Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani here on Friday and discussed the prospects
of increased Pak-China cooperation in water conservation and hydro power
generation.
The Prime Minister sought the cooperation and investment of TGC, which has one
of the biggest hydro-power projects in the world, for the establishment of water
conservation and hydro-power projects in Pakistan to meet its energy and water
requirements.
Gilani said Pakistan will welcome Chinese investment in Bhasha and Bunji dams as
well as in small dams, adding, since Pakistan is facing energy shortage, the
cooperation of TGC would be welcomed.
The Chairman TGC expressed his willingness to invest in hydropower projects in
Pakistan and said their investment would bring about enhanced economic
development in Pakistan. China Yangtze Three Gorges Project is one of the biggest
hydropower-complex projects in the world and ranks as a key project for
improvement and development of the Yangtze River.
The dam is located in the areas of Xilingxia gorge, one of the three gorges of the
river, which will control a drainage area of one million square kilometers, with an
average annual runoff of 451 billion cubic million.—APP

Islamabad, May 19: A leading Chinese bank on Thursday agreed to finance multi-
billion dollar Karachi-Faisalabad-Gwadar motorway project.
Chairman of the EXIM Bank Li Ruogu during a meeting with Prime Minister Yousuf

Closer Pak-China economic integration strategic imperative: PM
By Shahid Saleem Khan
BEIJING, China, May 19 (APP): Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani highlighting
the importance of closer Pak-China economic integration as ‘strategic imperative’
on Thursday urged the Chinese corporate sector and entrepreneurs to focus on
Pakistan in their business plans. “The idea is not only to develop mutually-beneficial
bilateral economic cooperation but also to jointly promote intra-regional and trans-
regional development partnerships”, Gilani told the corporate leaders and CEOs of
the large business and industrial houses in China while speaking at the China-
Pakistan Entrepreneurs Forum here.
The Forum was co-hosted by China Council for the Promotion of International
Trade (CCPIT) and the Embassy of Pakistan in Beijing.
The Prime Minister, who is in China on a four-day official visit during which he also
held talks with Premier Wen Jiabao Wednesday, welcomed the establishment of
China-Pakistan Entrepreneurs Forum and said this will further strengthen and
facilitate exchanges between both countries business communities.
He said closer economic integration between Pakistan and China was not only “a
strategic imperative but accords fully with the dictates of geography; the concept of
shared prosperity; and, above all, the ethos of our peoples.” The Prime Minister
said Pakistan and China are good friends and close neighbours, adding, “our all-
weather friendship is deeply imprinted on the hearts and minds of our people.”
He said celebrating the “Pakistan-China Friendship Year’ and the 60th anniversary
of the establishment of our diplomatic relations depicted the spirit of brotherhood
and renewed resolve to taking our friendship and strategic cooperative partnership
to ever new heights.
“The bonds that tie our two peoples together have withstood the test of time. While
strong winds of political change have swept across our region and beyond,
497
Thu
Pakistan-China friendship has stood steady as a rock”, he remarked.
Gilani said Pakistan-China friendship continues to strengthen with every passing
day, adding, “Our partnership has assumed a regional and international dimension.
We consult, cooperate and coordinate our respective endeavours for the cause of
global peace and prosperity.”
He said Pakistan and China rightly take pride in how far they have come together.
“The enthusiasm on display in both countries, as we celebrate the 60th anniversary
of the establishment of diplomatic relations, is genuinely felt and expressed by our
two peoples”, he added.
The Prime Minister said Pakistan takes inspiration from China’s economic
transformation that is unparalleled in human history. It has been brought about by
the genius and hard work of the talented Chinese people under their wise and
sagacious leadership, he added.
He said it is a matter of great satisfaction that economy, technology and trade
cooperation between Pakistan and China has witnessed new dynamism, adding,
“These are the three most important drivers in the robust growth of our friendship
and all-dimensional cooperative partnership.”
Gilani recalled and termed Premier Wen Jiabao’s visit to Pakistan in December last
as another landmark in the long and glorious history of Pakistan-China friendship
during which the two sides took important decisions and set out a shared economic
and trade agenda.
“It was agreed that corporate sector must play a leading role and the two
governments must provide a facilitative framework for the flourishing of a mutually -
beneficial economic partnership”, he added.
The Prime Minister said Pakistan and China have touched several important
landmarks in the development of bilateral economic and trade relationship.
He termed Pakistan-China Free Trade Agreement as a comprehensive
arrangement that covered goods, services and investments.
“Our bilateral trade touched dollars 9 billion last year. However, the scope of further
growth is immense. Our two countries have set a target of attaining dollars 15 billion
trade in the coming years”, he added.
Gilani said the establishment of Pakistan-China Trans-border Economic Zone;
upgrading avenues for trade, overland across shared mountains and rivers; steps
being taken towards integrated border management; and other related measures,
including customs harmonization would enable both Pakistan and China to bring to
play and optimally utilize the natural economic complementarities of the two
countries.
In the domain of finance and banking, he mentioned the establishment of Pakistan-
China Investment Company.
The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China is beginning its operations in
Pakistan and has opened branches in Islamabad and Karachi, he said and added
the Central Banks of Pakistan and China are now discussing concepts such as the
Currency Swap Arrangement.
“This and other related measures will not only facilitate economic interaction but
also provide the requisite incentives for the corporate leaders to enter into mutually-
beneficial joint ventures”, he added.
Prime Minister Gilani said as China diversifies its economy, with special emphasis
on the development of its Western regions as well as shifts to high technology, the
economic factors would make it attractive for the Chinese industry to relocate and
establish their manufacturing base in Pakistan.
He said Pakistan is a developing country and its strategic priority is development,
adding, Pakistan is developing its infrastructure that includes not only upgrading our
rail and road links but also building new cities, airports and expressways.
“We are rich in natural resources, which we ought to explore and develop for our
economic growth. Our economic fundamentals and growth potential are enormous”,
he remarked.
Gilani said hundreds of Chinese corporations and thousands of Chinese friends are
already working in Pakistan, adding, “We highly appreciate their endeavours and
hard work that is contributing immensely to Pakistan’s economic development.”
The Prime Minister said there is great potential for the participation of Chinese
corporations in the development of the energy sector in Pakistan, which includes
hydel, thermal and renewable.
“Joint ventures, with equity participation of Chinese corporations and financial
institutions, can transform Pakistan’s economic landscape and would certainly
498
Thu
prove to be a win-win scenario”, he remarked.
Gilani said Pakistan and China have renewed the joint Five Year Economic and
Trade Programme, adding, projects, which are commercially feasible, would qualify
for easy credits and such facilitation, as may be required, by both governments.
“I would strongly urge that the whole range of facilitative frameworks already agreed
between our two governments, may be studied closely by the Chinese and
Pakistani entrepreneurs so that they could avail themselves of the immense
possibilities of cooperation that is mutually advantageous”, he added.
The Prime Minister said for China doing business in Pakistan should be easy,
adding, the sentiments of friendship that so deeply exist between our two peoples,
make living and working in Pakistan, both comfortable and rewarding.
“I am sure that the corporate sectors of the two countries will join hands and work
closely together to impart a new dynamism to our partnership and thus lead the
process for taking our friendship to ever greater heights”, he added.
Chinese Minister for Science and Technology Wang Gung in his remarks on the
occasion said that his country intends to give strong boost to its ties in all fields
especially in trade and economy.
He said that political stability and improved law and order situation in Pakistan will
help create more Chinese investment there. He said both the countries will move
forward towards more free and hassle-free trade to achieve the set targets.
The Minister said that both the countries are also working in the field of Science and
Technology hoping that this cooperation will also increase in joint production of
Chinese herbal medicines and solar, wind and other alternative energy generation
in Pakistan.

All Day ISLAMABAD: Ukraine-Pakistan relations started long before Pakistan

officially recognized new independent Ukraine in December 31, 1991. --
Online
ISLAMABAD: Ukraine-Pakistan relations started long before Pakistan officially
recognized new independent Ukraine in December 31, 1991.
In a Media Briefing by H.E. Ihor Pasko Ambassador of Ukraine to Pakistan history

of bilateral relations goes back to the former Soviet Union times, when Soviet
experts, the vast majority of whom were Ukrainian, assisted to develop the key
industries and national economy of Pakistan in 1960-70’s.
The Karachi Steel Meal, which remains largest in Pakistan, a number of powerful
hydro stations in Tarbella, Kalabakh were built in this period, as well as the large
park of Ukraine agricultural machinery, trucks was formed here in Pakistan. The
current stage of relations between Ukraine and Pakistan can be characterized as a
"dynamic process", which bases on the traditionally high level understanding in
political, military, trade, economic areas and effective cooperation within
499
Thu
international organizations. Both countries wish to expand and deepen mutually
beneficial relations perspective.
The first significant economic contract between Pakistan and independent Ukraine
was concluded in the military-technical sphere in 1996. Cooperation in defense and
military-technical spheres developing in different directions, including joint training
of officers, technical experts and pilots, through the supply and joint development of
high-tech weaponry and equipment for the Army, Navy, Air Force of Pakistan.
Pakistani military-industrial complex will continue cooperation with Ukraine in

developing technologies and manufacturing military products (especially in the joint
assembly and subsequent maintenance of the main battle tank "Al Khalid", which
supplies in the Pakistani Army and has big export potential).
The relations between Pakistan and Ukraine are likely to get more dynamics with
approval of various agreements, conventions and setting up of commissions. These
efforts would not only bring both the countries closer but would also assist in
making them close partners to achieve economic prosperity and stability of the
central Asian and South Asian regions. With the help of Central Asian republics
Ukraine, Pakistan could meet economic difficulties and other challenges.
Ukraine is ready to play its part in the development of Pakistan and would welcome
any efforts to search new avenues for- cooperation and expending ties with
Pakistan in various sectors. Pakistan could learn from the experiences and
expertise of Ukraine in various sectors specially economy as the world recognizes
the speedy economic growth of Ukraine.
The need of time is to join hands, to share expertise and to learn from the
experiences of each other to counter the present economic challenges being faced
by both the friendly countries.
At Present the draft Agreement on the Establishment of Intergovernmental Ukraine-

Pakistani Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation is being considered
and reviewed by Pakistani authorities concerned and we are hopeful that the
proposal would soon be a reality.
After the establishment of Intergovernmental Ukraine-Pakistani Commission on

Trade and Economic Cooperation the trade relations, economic ties between both
the countries would grow further.
The particular commission which we hope would soon be established to promote

the development of various forms of cooperation, including the creation of joint
ventures and other prospective directions of bilateral relations.
It would also elaborate proposals and would assist in taking measures aimed
extending and intensifying trade, cooperation in the fields of mutual interest, as well
as making up proposals on exchange of specialist.
Pakistan and Ukraine are also in process of inking the Convention for avoidance of
double taxation. We expect that Pakistani Authorities concerned would speed up
the process for completing the internal procedures. This convention would result in
rise in trade volume between both the countries.
Ukraine, being a large European economy, has a well-developed industrial base,

the rich farmlands, highly trained labour and a good education system. It is
relatively rich in natural resources, particularly mineral deposits.
Although oil reserves in the country are largely exhausted, it has other important
energy sources, such as coal, hydroelectricity and nuclear fuel raw materials.
Ukraine has a major ferrous metal industry, producing cast iron, steel and a wide
range of metalware, including pipes.
As of 2007, Ukraine was the world’s eighth largest steel producer. Another
important branch is country’s chemical and petrochemical industry producing coke,
500
Thu
mineral fertilizers, acids, soda etc. Manufactured goods include metallurgical
equipment, diesel locomotives, tractors, automobiles. The country possesses a
massive high-tech industrial base, including electronics, arms industry, space
program and is a major producer of grain, sugar, meat and milk products.
Pakistan could enjoy the benefits in these areas by rising the trade volume between
the two countries as it would contribute on both the ends and mutual benefits would
be achieved facilitating the people of both countries.
The total trade turnover between both the countries in 2009 was $ 267 314 with
Exports from Ukraine to Pakistan $242753 and Imports from Pakistan to Ukraine $
24564. In 2010 the ratio of total trade turnover between Pakistan and Ukraine was $
168 225 among which the total exports from Ukraine to Pakistan was $113006 and
import from Pakistan to Ukraine was $55219.
It is considerable fact that in the time period of just two months (Jan 2011 to Feb
2011) the total trade turnover between Pakistan and Ukraine was $57 144 with
Imports from Pakistan to Ukraine worth $22652 and exports from Ukraine to
Pakistan worth $34522.
On April 19, 2011, upon an initiative of President of Ukraine Mr.Victor Yanukovych,

Ukraine hosted a high-level meeting "Kyiv Summit on safe and innovative use of
nuclear energy" which indicates its desire to use the nuclear energy for the
protective and save purposes of human welfare.
The Chernobyl catastrophe and an accident on the Japanese nuclear power plant
Fukushima have proved the necessity to enhance the nuclear energy facilities’
capabilities to counter emergency situations, and have illustrated that mitigation of
nuclear incidents requires the international community to gather scientific, technical
and resource capabilities.
Ukraine believes on positive and productive utilization of the nuclear power as the
nuclear technologies are considered as one of the most effective ways to meet the
growing needs in energy supplies, to cut down the discharge of greenhouse
gasses, to mitigate the climate change, and to act as counterbalance to fluctuation
of prices of fossil fuels.

Pakistan, China likely to ink agreement on JF-17 Thunder
BEIJING: Pakistan and China are expected to sign an agreement today (Thursday)
for the provision of 50 JF-17 thunder aircraft to Pakistan on emergency basis, it has
been learnt by Daily Times. According to official sources, these aircraft will be
equipped with sophisticated avionics. Not only will the aircraft be handed over within
weeks, China will also foot the bill initially. Although Pakistan and China have been
jointly developed this multirole combat aircraft in the past, in the aftermath of the US
operation in Abbottabad, serious questions have been raised about Pakistan’s
defence capabilities. According to a strategic expert, the speedy delivery of 50
pieces of this aircraft, originally to be done over two years, is expected to allay
apprehensions of not only the Pakistani public but will also send a message to the
world that Pakistan’s defence is not weak. It might be remembered that not only has
the Indian military chief speculated on the possibility of a US-style strike from the
Indian side to take out jihadi outfits in Pakistan, there has been escalation on the
Pakistan-India border near Sialkot recently. Also, observers believe that in a
situation when the speculations are rife that Pakistan may not be able to resist
another US attack inside its territory if it so decides, this agreement will send a clear
message to the world on which side China stands. ishrat saleem
All Day RKS OF THE PRIME MINISTER - DIPLOMATIC PAKISTAN AND

CHINA RELATIONS -- THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE
ESTABLISHMENT
REMARKS OF THE PRIME MINISTER
501
Thu
TO COMMAT THE RECEPTION EMORATE
THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT
OF DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS BETWEEN
PAKISTAN AND CHINA
Your Excellency Jia Qingling,

Chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference,
Your Excellency Chen Kuiyuan, Vice Chairperson, CPPCC
Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We are gathered here today to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the

establishment of diplomatic relations between the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and
the People’s Republic of China.
This is a momentous occasion; a moment to rejoice on our shared

accomplishments; to celebrate the true friendship between our two peoples; to take
inspiration and draw strength from our common ideals and goals and the great
talent and genius of our peoples.
It is also a moment to renew our common resolve to impart a new dynamism

to take our all-weather friendship and strategic cooperative partnership to ever new
heights.
This is also an occasion to pay tribute to the wisdom and foresight of the
architects of Pakistan-China friendship. Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto the founder of
the Pakistan People’s Party and Chairman Mao Zedong andPremier Zhou Enlai
were the ones who visualized the essence of threads of history, spanning several
millenniums of interaction between our peoples, gave a brilliant new context to the
relations between Pakistan and the People’s Republic of China.
Successive generations of leaders of both countries and millions of men,

women and young people have shaped the discourse and the reality of this abiding
friendship between our peoples, which is manifested in abundant goodwill,
spontaneous affinity, inestimable love and affection, an enduring romance that
transcends all other considerations.
Premier Wen Jiabao, in his address to the joint sitting of the Parliament in
Islamabad in December 2010, speaking of China-Pakistan friendship, stated that
“this friendship is in our blood.” The people of Pakistan feel the same.
China is, indeed, our true and most reliable friend and partner. We are like one
nation and two countries.
We share common mountains and rivers. We share each other’s joys and sorrows.
We have a common dream and both China and Pakistan are together engaged in
transforming their dreams and visions for shared peace and prosperity into a living
reality.
On this historic occasion, I would like to convey the warm greetings of the
people of Pakistan for their Chinese brothers and sisters. I would like to assure the
great Chinese Nation that you will always find Pakistan by your side under all
circumstances.
We will together march forward hand-in-hand to take our friendship and partnership
to new heights and to ensure for our succeeding generations a glorious future of
peace and prosperity.
I would also like to convey to you our sincere sentiments of deeply-felt

admiration of the people of Pakistan on the national accomplishments of the
Chinese people, under wise leadership. China’s economic and technological
502
Thu
transformation is unprecedented in history.
China’s economic advancement, in a very short timeframe, evokes admiration. A

new awakening of the glorious Chinese civilization is being manifested in the realm
of thought, philosophy, intellect, arts and crafts as well as in scientific and
technological disciplines.
As your closest friend, we in Pakistan truly share the sense of pride on these
achievements.
We are convinced that China’s economic rise; technological prowess; ancient

wisdom; philosophy and thought will have a profound and most beneficial impact for
humanity and mankind at large.
Our two peoples have, since times immemorial, stood together and, from the
same vantage point, witnessed the transformations in the global and regional
landscape. We have stood together, sure-footed, with full confidence in defending
what is just and in upholding the noble values of humanity.
We have not only stood and watched but have marched hand-in-hand together to
resist and defeat the designs of those who wish to transgress against the values of
humanity.
We have worked together steadfastly for safeguarding our sovereignty,

independence and territorial integrity and for promoting peace and stability in the
world and in our region.
Once again, in these troubled times, we collectively face new challenges with
the firm conviction in our belief that truth and justice will prevail.
In these turbulent times, the only voice of reason in international affairs is that
of China. China is making a splendid contribution towards the making of the twenty-
first century.
Today, China is not only respected but emulated by developing countries. The
people of Pakistan salute the Chinese Nation for holding high the banner of peace
and justice in the world.
Pakistan will always and, under all circumstances, support and defend the
just cause and core interests of the Chinese Nation.
I would also like to avail myself of this opportunity to express, on behalf of the
people of Pakistan, our gratitude to our Chinese friends for their solid and unstinted
support to Pakistan at all times.
We can never forget that when natural catastrophe struck as it did in the 2005
earthquake and the devastating floods of 2010, China was the first to offer help and
support.
Pictures of Chinese rescue and medical teams, working day and night in region of
the mighty Indus in full fury, helping their Pakistani brothers and sisters, have
become indelible in the minds and hearts of our people.
In other domains – be it economic, or trade; science and technology;

defence; culture; arts; and education, we have enjoyed tremendous cooperation.
From the friendship highway, called the Karakoram Highway in the North to
the Gwadar deep seaport in the South, all major economic projects in Pakistan
were built with Chinese assistance. Even today, hundreds of Chinese corporations
and thousands of Chinese men and women are working tirelessly together with the
Pakistani brother and sisters on major economic and development projects. For all
this, we are truly grateful.
Friendship with China is the cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign policy. In

503
Thu
recent times, the leadership of our two countries has taken the decision to enhance
our cooperation, especially in the domains of economy and technology, trade and
defence.
We are giving special importance to enhancing connectivity and have already

established frameworks of cooperation in economy, trade, energy, minerals as well
as defence and defence production.
The Free Trade Agreement; the Joint Five Year Economic and Trade
Programme; the Joint Investment Company; our ongoing cooperation in the
financial and banking sectors; greater interaction between our capital markets;
robust defence and defence production cooperation are but a few examples of the
direction that our strategic cooperative partnership has taken.
We are determined to take all necessary measures for closereconomic

integration. In this context, establishment of the Trans-border Economic Zones;
instituting Integrated Border Management System; working together the intra-
regional and trans-regional economic and development agenda; corporate sector
interaction in joint projects; opening of the ICBC bank branches in Pakistan;
finalization of the Currency Swap Arrangement; cooperation in earth, space and
marine sciences; and expanding educational contacts will undoubtedly contribute to
further cementing our mutually beneficial all dimensional partnership.
We also acknowledge, with gratitude, the support that China has extended to
Pakistan in our efforts to safeguard national sovereignty and Pakistan’s core
national interests.
Pakistan is a resilient nation. Our people are proud and confident of a bright future.
We have, with courage and fortitude, overcome many challenges. We see in every
challenge new opportunities, which we are determined to avail for not only
promoting Pakistan’s national inte

ISLAMABAD: Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar said on Saturday that

China had “acceded to Pakistan’s request to take over operations” of the Gwadar
port
The minister, who had accompanied the prime minister during his visit to China,
issued a statement to press about the development.
Mr Mukhtar said Pakistan was grateful to the Chinese government for building the
Gwadar port. “However, we shall be more grateful to the Chinese if they agree to
build naval base at Gwadar.”
Gwadar, the country’s third port after Karachi and Port Qasim, lies on the Arabian
Sea. It is 533kms from Karachi and 120kms from the maritime frontier with Iran.
According to Mr Mukhtar, the prime minister also asked his counterpart, Wen
Jiabao, to consider inducting the JF-17 Thunder aircraft into the PLA (Peoples
Liberation Army) fleet as it would enable Pakistan to sell a large number of the
planes to other countries.
The Chinese government had agreed to “our request to equip our air force with
FC-20 aircraft”, the minister added.
The Chinese government “assured us of help in removing hurdles in the way of

Pakistan’s progress”, the defence minister said.

* Issue of financial guarantee on goods resolved
* Financial guarantee on vehicles to be discussed in APTTCA meeting
By Sajid Chaudhry
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and Afghanistan are set to operationalise Afghan-Pakistan

Transit Trade Agreement (APTTA) from June 12, 2011—as both sides have
amicably resolved the issue of financial guarantee and its approval would be sought
from the Afghan Pakistan Transit Trade Coordination Authority (APTTCA) in its
meeting scheduled on June 2, 2011at Kabul.
Official sources told that against the bank guarantee equivalent to the amount of
customs duty applicable on the goods imported under APTTA for Afghanistan
through Pakistani land route, an insurance guarantee equivalent to the amount of
customs duty from Pakistani or foreign insurance company would be accepted by
506
Fri
The sources added that sub-committee of the APTTCA that met at Kabul on May 7,
2011, has resolved the issue of financial guarantees for goods—however bank
guarantee on transporters is still unresolved—which will be discussed in APTTCA
meeting.
According to presentation of the Ministry of Commerce, APTTCA in its first meeting

held on February 11-12 at Islamabad had agreed that traffic in transit would not be
hampered due to insufficient number of tracking devices. On the other hand,
Afghan-Pakistan Transit Trade Rules, 2011 have been finalised by the Federal
Board of Revenue (FBR) but held back due to the Afghan reservations regarding
definition of customs security for goods and bank guarantee for vehicles. These two
issues will be discussed in next meeting of the APTTCA scheduled on June 2, 2011
at Kabul.
Customs security for goods explained in the agreement means en-cashable

financial guarantee acceptable to customs, submitted by the trader or through
authorised broker, on transit goods, for an amount equivalent to the import levies of
contracting parties.
Bank guarantee for vehicles explained in the agreement means a bank guarantee
or revolving bank guarantee or Cornet-de-Passage (when operational) as a pre-
requisite for temporary admission document on convenience, acceptable to host
country.
It was mutually agreed to extend the date of operationalisation of the APTTA

agreement up to four months and this deadline will expire in second week of June
and with the holding of APTTCA meeting and resolution of the pending issues of
APTTA would be operationalised by June 12, 2011.
Pakistan’s position on customs security for goods is that financial guarantee shall
be negotiable instrument issued by a scheduled bank and en-cashable in Pakistan.
While position on customs security for vehicles is that bank guarantee or revolving
bank guarantee shall be issued by scheduled bank.
On the other hand Afghan side considers Pakistan’s interpretation of these

guarantees as unilateral and says that Article 28, sub-clause F states that “To
establish a customs transit system including customs guarantee coverage for cargo
as mutually agreed”.
According to the commerce ministry’s presentation, Afghan side has agreed to

allow 13 land routes for bilateral trade and these routes will be operationalised on a
later date to be agreed mutually.
Pakistani side will facilitate Afghan exports to India through Wagha. Afghan trucks
will be allowed access on the designated routes up to Wagha. Afghan cargo will be
off-loaded on Indian trucks back to back at Wagha and the trucks on return from
Wagha will not carry Indian exports to Afghanistan.
Pakistan has also gained a transit facility for Central Asian Republics (CARs)
markets and entry and exist points for Pakistan’s exports have been secured on
permanent basis and legal cover have been secured.
These routes include Torkham to Hairtam with Uzbekistan, Torkham to Torghundi

with Uzbekistan, Torkham to Sher Khan Bandar with Tajikistan, Torkham to Aqina
with Tukmanistan, Torkham to Torghundi with Turkmenistan, Chamman to Islam
Qila with Iran and Chaman to Zaranji with Iran.

All Day Pakistani PM: Pak-China trade to hit US$15 billion in 2 years -- Xinhua
News Agency
BEIJING, May 20 (Xinhuanet) -- Pakistan and China should put more emphasis on
economic cooperation while maintaining the all-dimensional relationship, Pakistani
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said here Friday.
During an exclusive interview with Xinhuanet, Gilani expressed that in light of the
all-dimensional relationship, economic cooperation should be further enhanced. He
proposed to target for a bilateral trade volume of 15 billion U.S. dollars within two
years.
“Our trade at the moment is nine billion U.S. dollars, we want to enhance it to 15
billion U.S. dollars with the expansion of two years, and this is doable. We are
moving in the right direction," said Gilani, who is on a four-day official visit to China
at the invitation of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao. This is also his fourth visit.
This year 2011 marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic
relations between the two nations and was declared China-Pakistan Friendship
Year by Wen and Gilani during Wen's visit to Pakistan in December 2010.
Gilani said that during the past 60 years, China and Pakistan have had multi-
dimensional cooperation in many fields, whether it is in national defense,
economics, intelligence, agriculture, culture, infrastructure, and energy.
Recalling the Pakistan-China Entrepreneurs Forum held the previous day, Gilani
expressed again there is still great potential to explore in bilateral economic
cooperation.
"China and Pakistan enjoyed a solid friendship of six decades. The economic ties
between the two countries have seen strong growth in the past, however, the two
sides believe there is still unexplored potential, and hope to further expand
cooperation in trade, investment and financial services," he said.
At the forum, he also said though China-Pakistan all-weather friendship has "beat
the test of time," their corporate sectors should work together to "inject new
dynamics into their partnership and lead the process to take the friendship to new
heights."

All Day Chinese government had agreed to take operational control of Gwadar
port, -- Pakistan News
Chinese government had agreed to take operational control of Gwadar port,
Pakistan News
Pakistan said on Saturday it wanted China to build it a naval base, in the latest sign
of moves to strengthen ties with Beijing.
The announcement from Pakistan’s defence minister came a day after Pakistan’s
Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani returned from a four-day visit to China,
Islamabad’s biggest arms supplier.
“We would be … grateful to the Chinese government if a naval base is …

constructed at the site of Gwadar for Pakistan,” Defence Minister Ahmad Mukhtar
said is a statement, referring to a deep-water port in Pakistan’s southwest.
The statement did not say whether Pakistan had asked China to build the base at
the port in Baluchistan province.
China invested $200 million in the first phase of the construction of the port, which
was inaugurated in 2007.
The development, 70 km (45 miles) east of the Iranian border and on the doorstep
of Gulf shipping lanes, was designed to handle transhipment traffic for the Gulf.
During Gilani’s visit, Mukhtar said China had agreed to speed up the delivery of 50
multi-role combat JF-17 “Thunder” aircraft, each worth up to $25 million.

Sun May 22, 2011 6:12AM
Pakistani Defense Minister Ahmad MukhtarPakistan has asked China to build a

naval base south of the country -- the latest move by Islamabad to strengthen
defense relations with Beijing.
“We would be... grateful to the Chinese government if a naval base is... constructed

China invested USD 200 million in the first phase of the construction of the port,
which was inaugurated in 2007.
The Pakistani defense minister also pointed out that China has agreed to accelerate
the delivery of 50 multi-role JF-17 Thunder combat aircraft to Pakistan.
The light-weight, single-engine fighter jet is being developed jointly by the Chengdu

Aeronautical Complex.
The remarks come four days after Pakistan's Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani
hailed China as his country's best friend.

BEIJING—Pakistan's defense minister said China has agreed to take over

operation of the strategically positioned but underused port of Gwadar, and that

Pakistan to ask US for two more Orion planes
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will ask the United States to supply it two additional PC-3
Orion planes for its Navy to make up.
Pakistan being an ally of the US reserves the right for making such demand. The

surface and submarine flights to guarantee the safety of Pakistan sea borders. The
US is supposed to provide two such planes by the end of the year according to
earlier agreed schedule.
Well placed sources told The News here that Prime Minister Gilani has asked
Defence Secretary Lt Gen (r) Syed Athar Ali to proceed to Karachi to make an
assessment on ground at the Mehran Base so that he should put up detailed
preliminary report about the gory incident at the DCC.
The sources pointed out that Pakistan Navy’s aviation force currently consists of
three Westland Lynx - anti-ship/anti-submarine/transport helicopters, six Westland
Sea King Mk45 - Anti Submarine/ Anti Surface Warfare helicopters (Based at
Karachi), eight Aerospatiale SA-319B Alouette III - transport/anti-ship helicopters,
seven Lockheed P-3C Orion - maritime surveillance/ anti-submarine warfare
aircraft/airborne early warning. Future supply of seven more under an agreement
with Lockheed Martin signed in 2006; two upgraded P-3C Orion delivered on 7th
Jan 2010 while one was delivered in Nov 2009. Seven Fokker F27-200 Friendship -
maritime surveillance aircraft, four Hawker 850 - VIP transport aircraft, two Breguet
Atlantique, one maritime surveillance/anti-submarine warfare aircraft, thirty two
Dassault Mirage V - anti-ship attack aircraft flown by PAF which are based at PAF

All Day Pakistan may set $11 billion oil import bill target for next financial year
2011-12. -- The Nation
ISLAMABAD - To cope with the unpredictable fluctuations in the global oil prices
coupled with country’s soaring energy crisis and insufficient oil reserves, Pakistan

All Day Pak-China defence collaboration -- Observer

Pak-China defence collaboration
Sultan M Hali
Six decades of friendship is more than enough for two friends to prove the mettle of
their relationship, however, true friendship does not require tests; it is there through
thick and thin. Pakistan and China’s relations have withstood the test of time and on
numerous occasions both countries have reiterated the depth and solidarity they
feel for each other. Diplomatic relations between the two came about on May 21,
1951 but the first test for the military came about when India provoked war with
China in the Ladakh region. Pakistan, though itself a fledgling, stood by China. In
1965, China returned the favour by ensuring that India restrains itself from any
adventurism in East Pakistan during the Pak-India war. Following the war and US
imposition of an arms’ embargo, left war ravaged Pakistan in a quandary, the
Chinese, whose own military weapons’ system production was in the stages of
infancy, provided arms ammunition, fighter aircraft and whatever was available. In
1971, when India declared war again and severed East Pakistan, the western wing
was able to defend itself through the Chinese military hardware.
The depth of Chinese defence collaboration with Pakistan can be gauged from the
fact that they are willing to transfer technology with no strings attached. They
provided weapons manufacturing factories, tanks and heavy weapons as well as
aircraft and radar rebuild factories, fast patrol boat missiles and gunboats as well as
Frigates building capability to Pakistan. The JF-17 Thunder, The Karakoram-8
advanced training aircraft, the Al-Khalid Main Battle Tank and F-22P Frigates are
some examples of the joint collaboration. The Deep sea port of Gawadar, with its
strategic location has been constructed with Chinese assistance and investment. At
a time when the west accused Pakistan of nuclear proliferation, imposed sanctions
but embraced India, it was China that helped Pakistan establish civil nuclear
facilities.
Terrorism is a malaise, which has plagued both countries. Pakistan has been
heavily embroiled in the war on terror following 9/11 but China has suffered heavily
through organizations like the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), who have
been instigating the Uyghur in Xinjiang province. Some of the ETIM leaders had
sought refuge in the tribal belt between Pakistan and Afghanistan and joined forces
with the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. In 2003, Pakistan Army killed ETIM leader Hasan
Mahsum in a raid on Al-Qaeda hideout. In 2007, ETIM militants in cars shot
Chinese engineers in Balochistan and sent a videotape of the attack to Beijing, in
retaliation for an execution of an ETIM official earlier that July. ETIM also took credit
for a spate of attacks before the 2008 Summer Olympics, including a series of bus
bombings in Kunming, an attempted plane hijacking in Urumqi, and an attack on
paramilitary troops in Kashgar that killed 17 officers. Pakistan and China have
joined forces to combat the scourge of terrorism. Joint military exercises, exchange
of intelligence, provision of anti-terror equipment are part of the cooperation.
The May 02, 2011 US Navy Seals attack on a house in Abbotabad, which was
allegedly housing Osama bin Laden, has made Pakistan the butt of ridicule as well
as insinuations by the west. The US is claiming that Osama bin Laden was killed in
the attack and his body has been dumped in the sea, despite the fact that there are
credible reports that Osama had died of renal failure many years earlier. Whatever
523
Thu
the truth, Pakistan’s sovereignty was breached, while Pakistan Army and the ISI are
being targeted as being complicit in providing sanctuary to Osama bin Laden. At
this moment, when Pakistan stood isolated as there were threats by belligerent and
irate US parliamentarians to stop financial and military aid to Pakistan as well as
take punitive action against it, China has come out loud and clear to declare its
solidarity with Pakistan. It has asked the world to take cognizance of Pakistan’s
sacrifices in the war against terror, to “respect Pakistan’s sovereignty and
solidarity”, and has “warned in unequivocal terms that any attack on Pakistan would
be construed as an attack on China”, formally conveyed by the Chinese foreign
minister at last week’s China-US strategic dialogue and economic talks in
Washington. The Chinese government has agreed to expedite the delivery of 50
additional JF-17 Thunder aircraft to beef up Pakistan’s Air Defence.
The bloody attack on PNS Mehran has crippled Pakistan’s maritime surveillance
capability and brought more ignominy to Pakistan’s armed forces. China is standing
by Pakistan and has held its hand to encourage it overcome the trauma of the
attack. Its acceptance of Pakistan’s offer to administer and regulate shipping in the
strategic Gawadar sea port will go a long way in comforting Pakistan and deter
India from further adventurism against Pakistan.
This is reminiscent of the time China had stood isolated and unrecognized by the
world body and Pakistan endeavoured to get it its rightful place in the comity of
Nations in 1971. Once again China has proved that its defence collaboration and
unequivocal stand for Pakistan is unflinching. It is for the government and people of
Pakistan to take cognizance of the rock solid ties between Pakistan and China and
follow the advice King Claudius of Denmark had given to his son Hamlet in the epic
play of the same name by the renowned playwright William Shakespeare: “The
friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul With hoops of
steel, but do not dull thy palm with entertainment of each new-hatched unfledged
comrade.”

25-27, 2011.
The Ministerial meeting was inaugurated by the President of Indonesia and

attended by Ministerial and other senior level representatives from the 120 NAM
member states as well as observers and guest countries especially invited for the
occasion.

establishment of NAM and to reflect on the contributions that NAM can make over
the next fifty years. To this end, the NAM Ministers adopted a comprehensive
outcome document outlining a shared vision of NAM for the next 50 years and a
commemorative declaration marking the 50th Anniversary of the Establishment of
the Non Aligned Movement.
Makhdoom Shahabuddin also reiterated Pakistan's proposal for the establishment

of a NAM Ad Hoc Working Group for discussing and forging a draft common vision
statement on New Multilateralism and the role of the Movement in the 21st Century.
“Today, in this increasingly divided and fragmented world where foreign occupation,
unilateral use of force, terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and non-
fulfillment of nuclear disarmament obligations are still living realities, the principles
and ideals of NAM are ever more relevant and critical,” he stressed.
He also emphasized that NAM should reenergize its efforts to uphold and
strengthen the timeless principles of respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity,
non-aggression, non-intervention, and peaceful co-existence.

“During Kabul meeting, the Pakistani side proposed that other buyer countries
including Afghanistan and India pay cost of gas including profit to Turkmenistan that
has been endorsed,” a spokesperson from the Ministry of Petroleum said.
He while confirming the agenda items informed that this formula would be
nominated in the upcoming meeting. “In a meeting to be held in Manila, gas pricing,
transit fee and gas specification will be discussed with the seller, Turkmenistan,”
Qadir maintained.
It is pertinent to mention that the buyers and seller countries earlier discussed the
amount of transit fee and agreed that it should be fixed on transmission of gas from
Turkmenistan. The second suggested linking transit fee with per kilometer length of
gas pipeline, and the third considered linking transit fee with volume of gas to be
consumed by each country. Under this formula, these countries would pay greater
amounts, on account of transit fee over using more gas.
Additionally, during talks held in February in Islamabad, Pakistan had proposed
keeping ‘uniform’ prices of imported gas, excluding transportation charges and
527

transit fee for all countries, including Afghanistan and India. However, Turkmenistan
wanted to link gas price with Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Liquefied Natural Gas

adjusted after every three months at the Turkmenistan border meeting in April 2007.

The government has set a deadline of June 27 for the submission of expression of
interests with an aim the supply must be started in the first or second quarter of

Pakistan’s Supreme Court last year scrapped a government deal to buy LNG from
French company GDF Suez because of suspected irregularities.
“Anybody can come. He can bring LNG. We will just put their gas into our system
for their buyers,” Secretary Ministry of Petroleum Mohammad Ejaz Chaudhry told

“It is an open field for anyone who has buyers.”
Chaudhry said a winning company would itself set up a terminal in Pakistan for re-

through its Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority.
“The government is not providing any guarantees. It is just facilitating,” he said.
The government has assigned its subsidiary, Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC),
to pipe re-gasified LNG to domestic customers.
“All the finances will be arranged by the LNG developer. There won’t be our
investment. We would charge a transportation tariff for this service,” SSGC
spokesman, Zuhair Siddiqui, said.

that often peaks at 5,000 megawatts per day in summer.
The country has been facing lengthy power outages for several years, which often
trigger protests and add to the worries of the pro-US government that is fighting
rising al Qaeda-linked militancy on its soil.
Pakistan relies on oil for most of its power needs and imports about 80 percent of its
oil.
It spent about $3.99 billion on the import of 6.9 million tonnes of petroleum products
and $2.45 billion on 4.3 million tonnes of crude oil in the first seven months of the
July 2010 to June 2011 financial year.
Early this month, Pakistan’s second Chinese-made 330 MW nuclear reactor started
generating power. China is also building two more units with the same capacities at
Chashma nuclear plant in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province. The projects are,
however, not scheduled to be completed until 2017.
Analysts say import of LNG is the best possible short-term option for the
government to cope with the growing energy crisis.
“Your options are evaporating very fast. You have to fill the gap urgently and I think
it is a good, cheap option if we avail it,” said Asif Qureshi, an analyst at Invisor
Securities, a brokerage firm based in Karachi.
The quantity of the gas could be increased to 2 billion cubic feet per day depending
on needs, Chaudhry added.

All Day Pakistan, China friendship a lush tree: Ambassador Khan -- APP
Pakistan, China friendship a lush tree: Ambassador Khan
BEIJING, MAY 31 (APP): Premier Wen Jiabao has wisely described the friendship
between Pakistan and China as a “lush tree with deep roots and thick foliage, full of
vigour and vitality,” said Pakistan’s Ambassador to China, Masood Khan.The
Chinese Premier made these remarks on the morning of December 19, while
addressing a packed session of Pakistani parliament during his official visit to
Pakistan.“The sentimental bond between our peoples is thus a constant image.An
aura of warmth and affection permeates our relations. Diplomats in Beijing and
around the world hear with some amusement the poetic expressions suggesting
that Pakistan-China friendship is all-weather and time-tested; and that this
relationship is taller than the Himalayas and deeper than oceans; and that it is
stronger than steel, and sweeter than honey,” wrote Ambassador Khan in an article
published in Beijing Review’s special supplement on the 60th anniversary of
Pakistan-China friendship.
He said that “Some do offer envious compliments and ask about the secret of the
longevity and depth of this relationship.The people of Pakistan and China evoke
these poetic images with sincerity of conviction and feel that they still do not fully
capture the depth of their feelings towards each other.”
To make an attempt to figure out the secret of this unique bond, Ambassador Khan
said, “the first crucible of our friendship has been history. Scholars and students are
familiar with recent history of Pakistan-China relations. But our relations go far back.
It is obvious that the territories of Pakistan and China are joined by mountains and
rivers so-called geographical fault lines. Pakistan and China also share civilizational
fault lines. Monks and envoys traversed the daunting heights of the Karakorum, the
Hindukush and the Himalayas to connect the Gandhara and the Indus Valley
civilizations with the Chinese civilization”.
He said that Fa Xian and Xuan Zang, in the fourth and seventh centuries
respectively, were not deterred by the inaccessible altitudes of these mountain
ranges. Many scholars from the territory that is now Pakistantraveled to China to
understand and imbibe the glorious civilization of China.So, cross-fertilization of our
536
Tue
civilizations took place much before the modern era.
The founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949 was a truly historic event.
And so was the independence of Pakistan in 1947. Pakistan recognized China on
January 4, 1950, and established diplomatic relations on May 21, 1951 following
negotiations with Pakistan’s first Charge d’ Affaires who had arrived in Beijing in
April 1951. The first Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan went to Karachi in September
1951 and Pakistan’s first Ambassador to China arrived in Peking on November 1,
1951.
“These are the beginnings that we shall celebrate this year after six decades. The
year 2011 has been designated the Year of China-Pakistan Friendship. We have
decided to hold a series of activities in the political, economic, trade, military,
cultural, sporting and educational fields to commemorate the strength of our
bilateral relations and to show the resolve to take it to new heights” Khan wrote in
the article.
He said “we can identify three periods in our relations. Because of the Cold War,
the 1950s was a period of uncertainty in Pakistan-China relations,though efforts
started right in the beginning for engagement. During the Bandung Conference in
1955, Premier Zhou Enlai and Prime Minister Mohammad Ali Bogra agreed to
strengthen exchanges and cooperation between the two countries. On May 23,
1955 Chairman Mao Zedong, while talking to our Ambassador in Beijing, Mr.
Sultanuddin Ahmed, expressed the hope that, given goodwill between the two
countries, relations would grow stronger and friendlier”.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the leadership of the two countries steered
Pakistan-China relations towards closer understanding and solidarity. In 1961,
Pakistan voted for the restoration of China’s seat in the United Nations. In 1963,
China and Pakistan signed a boundary agreement.This was a very significant
milestone as it underlined and displayed the emerging trust between the two
neighbours.
The agreement was signed in February 1963 in Beijing by Pakistan’s Foreign
Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. This also showed Pakistan’s independence in its foreign
policy and its growing faith in Sino-Pakistan friendship.
From this point onward, Ambassador Khan said, “the third phase of relations
between our two nations began which was characterized by mutual confidence,
deep trust, and growing cooperation.This period can be called a period of
consolidation and expansion and it has continued up to this point.
In May 1964, Premier Zhou Enlai, while recalling his visit to Pakistan,said: “we
found ourselves at all times living in an atmosphere of profound friendship, which
the Pakistani people cherished for the Chinese people,and (we) were greatly
moved by that.
“In the succeeding decades, China and Pakistan have not only deepened their ties
but stood by each other in difficult times. China helped us during the 1965 and 1971
wars. We advocated China’s entry into the United Nations. We also facilitated
rapprochement between the US and China through quiet diplomacy. We have
coordinated our policies during the turbulent period of the Afghan resistance against
the Soviet Union in 1980s; and are now cooperating in the fight against terrorism.
“As we come to the recent history of Pakistan-China relations, we express
satisfaction from the fact that the two sides have fashioned a very effective,
practical, and flexible architecture for engagement and cooperation in strategic,
defense, economic, commercial, and cultural fields. This architecture is responsive
to the changing times,” Ambassador Khan said.
Pak-China Joint Statement, issued in Islamabad on December 19, 2010 on the
conclusion of Premier Wen Jiabao’s historic visit to Pakistan,highlighted the
following points: (1) It is important to deepen the China-Pakistan all-weather
strategic partnership; (2) China-Pakistan relations have gone beyond bilateral
dimensions and acquired broader regional and international ramifications; (3)
Friendship and cooperation between Pakistan and China serve the fundamental
interests of the two countries, and contribute to peace, stability and development in
the region and beyond; and (4) The two sides will enhance their strategic
coordination, advance pragmatic cooperation, and work together to meet the
challenges in pursuit of common development.
Pursuing friendship with China has become the bedrock of Pakistan’s foreign policy
which enjoys consensus across the political spectrum. Pakistan deeply appreciates
the support and assistance China has given for our economic and social
development. We fully support China’s principled stand on Taiwan, Tibet, Xinjiang,
537
Tue
and other human rights issues.
Chinese Government and people reciprocate these sentiments and consider
Pakistan to be their most reliable friend and partner. Developing relations with
Pakistan is high on China’s diplomatic agenda. China supports Pakistan’s efforts in
safeguarding its sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity.
The fuel for this relationship comes from the hearts and minds of the people. The
prudent, farsighted policies of their governments buttress it through multiple
frameworks.
The 2005 Pakistan-China Treaty for Friendship and Cooperation and Good
Neighbourly Relations is a key instrument which enables us to strengthen our
strategic, economic and cultural relations. High-level visits play a crucial role in this
regard.
In December last year, Pakistan and China decided to establish an annual meeting
mechanism between leaders, set up foreign ministers’ dialogue mechanism and
reinforce contact and dialogue between the foreign ministries.
Since 2008, President Asif Ali Zardari has visited China six times and Prime
Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani three times. Last year, Premier Wen Jiabao and
Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang visited Pakistan.
Ambassador Khan pointed out that “this year we will make specia
All Day Pak-Malaysia trade could double in five years -- Express Tribune
KARACHI:
Trade volume between Pakistan and Malaysia can double from $2.3 billion to $4.6
billion in the next five years by stepping up dealings in agricultural products and
sharing of technological advancements, according to Malaysia-Pakistan Business
Council assessments.
The newly established Malaysia-Pakistan Business Council is currently in the midst

of charting its agenda and direction in this regard, said Council President
Mohammad Saleem in a statement on Monday.
Initial studies revealed that exports to Malaysia could increase by developing new
ways in which Malaysian importers, government-sponsored agencies and
institutions can get more products like wheat, rice, beef and fruits from Pakistan.
Saleem said the authorities in both countries should design a trade assistance
programme, similar to the one between Japan and China. He said that it would be
in Pakistan’s interest to take advantage of Malaysia’s expertise in fields such as
cold chain maintenance techniques, concentrate and pulp processing and canning
fruits.
In order to help Pakistan realise its full agricultural potential, the council believed
that Malaysia can bring latest technology.
The council advised the Malaysian government to lobby for reducing import taxes
on mangoes, allow import of milk, provide guidance to investors and traders from
both countries and organise food and cultural events.
The frozen food sector is another area that Malaysia is interested in. To capitalise
on this opportunity, the council believed that Pakistan should encourage companies
such as Engro, Nestle, K&N and Shezan to process ready-to-cook or ready-to-eat
food items for export.
According to the council members, Malaysia can offer Pakistan, and Karachi in
particular, with expertise in construction, building material manufacturing and
electrical appliance manufacturing.

Development projects in Balochistan to generate jobs:Jamali
ISLAMABAD, Jun 6 (APP): Minister for Science and Technology Mir Chengez
Khan Jamali said on Monday that development projects in Balochistan would
generate jobs for unemployed youths in the province.The minister said in order to
achieve this objective, it was necessary to utilize the natural resources of the
province in a proper manner. Talking to Pakistan Television, he said that
Balochistan is rich in natural resources and it was fair that these should be properly
used in order to benefit the local people. He emphasized that royalty thus earned
should be paid to the Balochistan Government. Replying to a question, the minister
said that democratic elements can help resolve various issues being faced by
Balochistan.
He said that all stakeholders should jointly strive to improve law and order as this
was essential for maintenance of peace in the area.
He stressed the need for enhancing literacy rate through quality education so that
people of this less developed part of the region could avail themselves of better job
opportunities in the country.
In order to achieve long term trade benefits from the Gwadar Port, there must be a
special focus on construction of roads and fast railway network links with rest of the

Times
Balochistan govt to get further Rs 11 billion from Divisible Pool
By Mohammad Zafar
QUETTA: The government of Balochistan is expected to get at least Rs 11 billion

more from the Divisible Pool in the next fiscal year, comparing to the revenue
receipts in the last budget. It is besides Rs 16 billion as subvention from the federal
government.
The main increase in the revenue receipts for Balochistan is on taxes on income
and Balochistan provincial government will get Rs 3 billion more than the current
fiscal year and Sales Tax on Service which registers an increase of around Rs 8
billion. In all, Balochistan will receive Rs 11 billion more in the next budget. It is
excluding the Subvention and foreign assistance, mainly from Oman and
International Fund for Agriculture Development.
The provincial government will get Rs 40 million less on account of gas
development surcharge, once the biggest source of revenue in the recent past.
Similarly, there is fall in revenue from royalty on natural gas and it is around Rs 173
million comparing last year.
However, there is an increase in revenue receipts on account for Central Excise on
natural gas and the amount of increase is calculated at Rs 600 million in the current
fiscal year. Balochistan received nominal revenue of Rs 263 million on account of
Capital Value Tax and during the next it will be zero.
The share of Balochistan government is 9.09 percent as per the National Finance
Commission Award signed the implementation during the current fiscal year.
It may be mentioned that the government had paid back all the cash development
loans, the most costly loans of the federal government, during the current year, the
provincial government will not make a payment of interest on Cash Development
Loan. Earlier, the Pakistan People’s Party government had picked up the State
Bank overdraft saving a sizable amount of money on principal amount and heavy
interest. At one stage, it jumped to Rs 20 billion during the Q-League government,
as rulers resorted to lavish spending.
Years ago, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) provided a soft loan under the
Resource Management Programme to relieve the provincial government of the
costly federal loans. With the soft loan from the ADB, Balochistan repaid all the
costly loan under the head of Cash Development Loans.
However, the provincial government will have to pay Rs 634 million as interest on
foreign loan as against of Rs 1,836 million as interest during the current fiscal year.
The provincial government will have to pay back the principal amount of Rs 3352
million on foreign loans as compared to Rs 3,922 million during the current fiscal
year.
According to the budget documents, the provincial government will get foreign loan
of Rs 1,631 million and a cash grant of Rs 500 million during the next fiscal year.
The grant is provided by the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman and it will be spent on
the development of Gwadar and its surrounding communities. The grant to the
province was merely Rs 33 million during the current fiscal year.
Similarly, the foreign loans were Rs 1,472.580 million during the current fiscal year.
The president of Pakistan laid the foundation stone of Vindar Dam project in
Lasbela district and made a speech explaining the policies of the government that
he would personally monitor the pace of work and accordingly the funds would be
released. In the current budget, Rs 41.155 million was allocated. At the end of the
fiscal year, the federal government did not release a single penny for the prestigious
project inaugurated by the president of Pakistan.
Now in the next fiscal year, the government had Rs 100 million for the project. For
two more water dam projects, the government had allocated Rs 10 million for Pelar
Dam and Rs 50 million for Hingol Dam. Hingol is the only perennial river of
Balochistan and it is considered to be the biggest river. No resources were
allocated for the construction of Gwadar Grid Station and installation of 220KV
transmission line for import of electricity from Iran for Gwadar. The government
wanted to import 100MW electricity from Iran to cater the need of local people in
545
Sun
Mekran. The demand for electricity multiplied and load shedding duration also
increased.
There had been no allocation of resources in the Federal Budget for Balochistan
Road Development Project, Community Development and Poverty Reduction,
restructuring Technical Education, HIV/AIDS project and Middle School Project.
Previously, these projects were funded by the federal government. It is the effects
of devolution of powers from the central government to the provinces.

Islamabad, Baku enjoy excellent ties
Dr Jassim Taqui Deputy Editor IR
Islamabad—Pakistan is proud to recognize Azerbaijan in 1991 immediately after

gaining its independence (the second country after Turkey). The two countries
established diplomatic relations in 1992. Pakistan was one of the first countries to
open its Embassy in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan.
Pakistan and Azerbaijan enjoy close and cordial relations, characterized by shared
perceptions on major global and regional issues. A unique feature of the relations is
strong support extended to each other on major issues. Pakistan fully supports the
principal policy of Azerbaijan over Nagorno Karabakh. Azerbaijan responded by
supporting Pakistan’s effort for early resolution of Kashmir dispute, in accordance
with the relevant UN resolutions.
The two countries have been cooperating in international forums on almost all
strategic issues.
They signed many agreements to provide a framework for bilateral cooperation in

all spheres, especially in the economic sector. They established a Joint Ministerial
Commission.
The objective is to bring the two peoples closer to each other due to strong affinity
and goodwill between them.
Pakistan offered assistance in financial sector, particularly banking, development of

textiles and micro-financing. Similarly, Pakistan has shown interests to benefit from
Azerbaijan’s experience in energy and development of petroleum sector. As
agreed, Pakistan established a subsidiary branch of National Bank of Pakistan in
Baku. This step would help promote trade transactions between the two countries
During the visit of the Defense Minister of Azerbaijan to Pakistan in May 2001, the
two countries had signed a Joint Statement in Islamabad agreeing to develop
military partnership by initiating institutionalized defense cooperation. The Defence
Minister of Pakistan responded with similar visit. This visit by defense delegation to
Azerbaijan is expected to further widen the scope of defense cooperation between
the two friendly countries.
With this excellent background, the Ambassador of the Republic of Azerbaijan Mr.
Dashgin Shikarov and the Defence Attaché Colonel Dashdamir Mammadov hosted
a grand reception in the Marriot Hotel to celebrate the Armed Forces Day of
Azerbaijan.
A large number of defence attaches and their spouses along with the elite of the
civil society were present. The Chief Guest was Vice Chief of Air Staff Air Marshal
Asim Suleiman along with DG Foreign Military cooperation Maj .Gen. Inaum ul
Haque. Many senior military officials were also in attendance.
The two countries are focusing on military cooperation between their defence
ministries.
Azerbaijan is working hard since its independence on developing its armed forces.
It is sanctioning about 2.5 billion dollars annually for military expenditure.
This rising nation has been able to build its own defence industry. Within a short
time, Baku is manufacturing small arms. It has started an ambitious programme of
building tanks, armoured vehicles, military planes and military helicopters.
The atmosphere was festive. The main discussion and questions of the guests
were the post- Geronimo Operation era in Pakistan, the withdrawal of the US troops
from Afghanistan and the secret talks between Taliban and CIA.

KASHGAR: The Pakistan-China Business Forum was held here aimed at to further
enhancing economic integration with emphasis on broadening border trade
The Forum was largely attended including CommissionerKashgarPrefecture former
Senator and Pakistan Ambassador to China Akram Zaki, Chief Executive Trade
Development Authority of Pakistan (TDPA) Tariq Puri and Vice Commissioner
Kashghar Prefecture Wang Yongzhi.
"We are so grateful to the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan and the
KashgarPrefecture for organizing this Pakistan-China Business Forum in Kashgar.
This city has a special place for Pakistanis", said Ambassador Masood Khan in his
opening remarks at the Business Forum on the sidelines of the 5-day Kashgar,
Central and South Asia Commodity Fair kicked off on Thuesday.
He said "Today, in this seminar key departments of the Kashgar Prefecture

Administration dealing with port management, foreign trade, customs, transit traffic,
taxation, banking, and foreign affairs are present.
"So are CCPIT and Chambers of Commerce. There is enthusiastic participation

from Pakistan as well. As we see delegations of TDAP, FPCCI, Pakistan-China
Business and Investment Council, Institute of Policy Studies, Islamabad Stock
Exchange and Pakistani businessmen attending this forum".
He said although the trade between the two countries is growing, however the
border trade between Pakistan and China is a small fraction of the overall volume.
He said that even before the formation of the AttabadLake, the Karakorum Highway
was not in a good shape and that is why it was being repaired and upgraded.
"The AttabadLake disaster has further reduced this trade. We should therefore
continue to take remedial measures. Our border trade consists of basic
commodities.
"We have a grand vision for creating multiple, trade-transport-energy corridors

between Pakistan and China so that this region can be connected to South, West
and Central Asia. But, first thing first. We must drain the lake and realign the road",
he noted.
He said "We welcome the Chinese Government's policy of Western development

under which Kashgar is being built as the Shenzhen of this region. Kashgar is so
near the border of Pakistan; in an hour's time, one can fly from Islamabad to
Kashgar. Therefore, Pakistan is the most natural and willing participant in this
enterprise".
Pakistan, he said too has its own vision of bilateral and regional connectivity which
fits into Chinese plans.
"We believe that enhanced road and air links between Pakistan and China,
construction of a railroad and fibre optic link, and establishment of oil and gas
pipelines will lead to the revival of the Silk Road," the Ambassador noted.
A prefeasibility for a 411 mile rail link between Pakistan's town of Havelian and
Khunjerab at a cost of US $ 10 billion has already been done. In December last
year, Rayyan Air, a Pakistani charter airline, inaugurated the first Islamabad-
Kashgar 90 minute cargo flight. This sets a new trend for shipment of cargo
between Pakistan and China through this region. The commodities shipped by air
are also available to Central Asia, he added.
"We are of the view that transit trade of goods and services through Pakistan would
greatly reduce logistic costs for its neighbors trading with the Gulf, Africa, Europe
556
Fri
and South Asia. The location of Gwadar, which is 240 miles from the state of
Hormuz is important for China and Pakistan. The port is ideally situated for receipts,
dispatch, processing of crude oil, gas, and LNG for shipment to Southeast Asia and
far East," ho said.
He pointed out that Chinese trade from Urumqi, through Gwadar and destined for
Dubai and London, can save more than 4,300 miles and several days of transit
time. The distance from Dubai to Khunjerab is 3,300 miles and from Dubai to
Shanghai via the Indian Ocean is 9,000 miles.
While we talk about the grand vision, we have to work on issues that are
businessmen from both sides face on day to day basis.
Right now, he said that the KhunjerabPort does not have adequate screening
mechanism and customs officers have to check every truck manually.
"We should also set up integrated border management mechanisms. A first step in
this direction could be the establishment of passport and visa offices in Kashgar or
near the border towns so that businessmen do not have to travel long distances.
We should also proactively provide visa facilitation" Ambassador Khan noted.
Again coming back to the broader vision, he said we must work on the concepts of
trans-border and trans-regional economic zones so that China's Western
Development Strategy benefits its immediate neighbours particularly Pakistan.
The Forum, he said, therefore, is an excellent initiative to create an interface

between the traders, investors, and entrepreneurs of China and Pakistan, Kashgar
and Pakistan.
Ambassador Khan said, "Pakistan and China enjoy all-weather and time-tested
friendship. The sincerity and depth of this relationship can be captured only by
poets or poetic imagery because we say that this relationship is higher than
mountains, deeper than oceans, stronger than steel, sweeter than honey, and
dearer than eyesight.
"Yes, the Karakorum, the Palmir and the Himalayas bind a knot to join us. Rivers
also connect us. But our most lasting bond is based on the mutual trust that we
have between our two countries".
He said that we have a good architecture and good instruments for economic and
trade cooperation.
The Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) have been signed that cover goods, services
and investment.
The macro-economic indicators are improving but they laggedbehind strategic

cooperation, he added.
He, however said that since 2002, the bilateral trade has quadrupled to US $ 8.7
billion last year.
He said tht the overall year on year growth was 28%, with Pakistani exports
increasing by 30% and Chinese exports by 25%. Still Pakistan has a trade deficit of
US $ 6 billion, however a series of measures are being taken to rectify the situation.
These measures, Ambassador Khan said include dispatch of Chinese purchase

missions to Pakistan, encouragement of Pakistani traders and trade officials to
participate in Chinese fairs and exhibitions, consideration of unilateral trade
concessions by China for Pakistan, second phase negotiations for further trade
liberalization, establishment of trans-border economic zones, and increase in the
number of entry points in China for Pakistan's agriculture produce.
"We have also requested China for assistance in vocational and technical education
in the areas of value added textiles, gems and jewelry, surgical instruments, leather
557
Fri
and light engineering" he said adding to promote Chinese private sector in
Pakistan, "we have also proposed that the Chinese banks, particularly the China
EXIM Bank may accept normal commercial guarantees instead of sovereign
guarantees.
Under the next five year plan, we have identified 36 projects which cover education,
health care, water conservancy, agriculture, transport, energy, and environment".
He further said that all top corporate Chinese brands have gained experience and
exposure in Pakistani market. Pakistan is familiar with the names of China Mobile,
Huawei, ZTE, China Harbour, China Construction, Three Gorges, Gezhouba, and
Sinohydro.
But there are scores of others who are there in Pakistani market or are keen to
enter into it. Today, there are 13,000 Chinese working in 120 enterprises, he noted.
These are good news, he said "but we need to work much, much harder to realize
the full potential of Pakistan-China economic cooperation, which is immense by any
standard".

Fair kicked off on Thuesday.
He said “Today, in this seminar key departments of the Kashgar Prefecture
Administration dealing with port management, foreign trade,customs, transit traffic,
taxation, banking, and foreign affairs are present.
“So are CCPIT and Chambers of Commerce. There is enthusiastic participation

from Pakistan as well. As we see delegations of TDAP, FPCCI, Pakistan-China
Business and Investment Council, Institute of Policy Studies, Islamabad Stock
Exchange and Pakistani businessmen attending this forum”.
He said although the trade between the two countries is growing, however the
border trade between Pakistan and China is a small fraction of the overall volume.
He said that even before the formation of the Attabad Lake, the Karakorum
Highway was not in a good shape and that is why it was being repaired and
upgraded.
“The Attabad Lake disaster has further reduced this trade. We should therefore
continue to take remedial measures. Our border trade consists of basic
commodities.
“We have a grand vision for creating multiple, trade-transport -energy corridors
between Pakistan and China so that this region can be connected to South, West
and Central Asia. But, first thing first. We must drain the lake and realign the road”,
he noted.

He said “We welcome the Chinese Government’s policy of Western development

under which Kashgar is being built as the Shenzhen of this region.Kashgar is so
near the border of Pakistan; in an hour’s time,one can fly from Islamabad to
Kashgar. Therefore, Pakistan is the most natural and willing participant in this
enterprise”.
Pakistan, he said too has its own vision of bilateral and regional connectivity which
fits into Chinese plans.
“We believe that enhanced road and air links between Pakistan and China,
construction of a railroad and fibre optic link, and establishment of oil and gas
pipelines will lead to the revival of the Silk Road,” the Ambassador noted.
A prefeasibility for a 411 mile rail link between Pakistan’s town of Havelian and
Khunjerab at a cost of US $ 10 billion has already been done. In December last
year, Rayyan Air, a Pakistani charter airline, inaugurated the first Islamabad-
Kashgar 90 minute cargo flight.This sets a new trend for shipment of cargo
between Pakistan and China through this region. The commodities shipped by air
are also available to Central Asia, he added.
“We are of the view that transit trade of goods and services through Pakistan would
greatly reduce logistic costs for its neighbors trading with the Gulf, Africa, Europe
and South Asia. The location of Gwadar,which is 240 miles from the state of
Hormuz is important for China and Pakistan.The port is ideally situated for receipts,
dispatch, processing of crude oil, gas, and LNG for shipment to Southeast Asia and
far East,” ho said.
He pointed out that Chinese trade from Urumqi, through Gwadar and destined for
Dubai and London, can save more than 4,300 miles and several days of transit
time. The distance from Dubai to Khunjerab is 3,300 miles and from Dubai to
Shanghai via the Indian Ocean is 9,000 miles.
While we talk about the grand vision, we have to work on issues that are
businessmen from both sides face on day to day basis.
Right now, he said that the Khunjerab Port does not have adequate screening
mechanism and customs officers have to check every truck manually.
“We should also set up integrated border management mechanisms. A first step in
this direction could be the establishment of passport and visa offices in Kashgar or
near the border towns so that businessmen do not have to travel long distances.
We should also proactively provide visa facilitation” Ambassador Khan noted.
Again coming back to the broader vision, he said we must work on the concepts of
trans-border and trans-regional economic zones so that China’s Western
Development Strategy benefits its immediate neighbours particularly Pakistan.
The Forum, he said, therefore, is an excellent initiative to create an interface

between the traders, investors, and entrepreneurs of China and Pakistan, Kashgar
and Pakistan.
Ambassador Khan said, “Pakistan and China enjoy all-weather and time-tested
friendship. The sincerity and depth of this relationship can be captured only by
poets or poetic imagery because we say that this relationship is higher than
mountains, deeper than oceans, stronger than steel, sweeter than honey, and
dearer than eyesight.
“Yes, the Karakorum, the Palmir and the Himalayas bind a knot to join us. Rivers
also connect us. But our most lasting bond is based on the mutual trust that we
have between our two countries”.
He said that we have a good architecture and good instruments for economic and
trade cooperation.The Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) have been signed that cover
goods, services and investment.The macro-economic indicators are improving but
they lagged behind strategic cooperation, he added.He, however said that since
2002, the bilateral trade has quadrupled to US $ 8.7 billion last year.
He said tht the overall year on year growth was 28%, with Pakistani exports
559
Fri
increasing by 30% and Chinese exports by 25%. Still Pakistan has a trade deficit of
US $ 6 billion, however a series of measures are being taken to rectify the situation.
These measures, Ambassador Khan said include dispatch of Chinese purchase
missions to Pakistan, encouragement of Pakistani traders and trade officials to
participate in Chinese fairs and exhibitions, consideration of unilateral trade
concessions by China for Pakistan, second phase negotiations for further trade
liberalization, establishment of trans-border economic zones, and increase in the
number of entry points in China for Pakistan’s agriculture produce.
“We have also requested China for assistance in vocational and technical
education in the areas of value added textiles, gems and jewelry, surgical
instruments, leather and light engineering” he said adding to promote Chinese
private sector in Pakistan, “we have also proposed that the Chinese banks,
particularly the China EXIM Bank may accept normal commercial guarantees
instead of sovereign guarantees.
Under the next five year plan, we have identified 36 projects which cover education,
health care, water conservancy, agriculture, transport, energy,and environment”.
He further said that all top corporate Chinese brands have gained experience and
exposure in Pakistani market. Pakistan is familiar with the names of China Mobile,
Huawei, ZTE, China Harbour, China Construction, Three Gorges, Gezhouba, and
Sinohydro.
But there are scores of others who are there in Pakistani market or are keen to
enter into it. Today, there are 13,000 Chinese working in 120 enterprises, he noted.
These are good news, he said “but we need to work much, much harder to realize
the full potential of Pakistan-China economic cooperation, which is immense by any
standard”.

Korean companies to invest in Pak power sector
Salim Ahmed
Share
Lahore—South Korean Ambassador in Pakistan Choongjoo Choi has said that

Korean companies is all set to make investment in Pakistan’s power sector.
He said this while speaking at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry on
Wednesday. LCCI President Shahzad Ali Malik, Senior Vice President Sheikh
Mohammad Arshad, Vice President Sohail Azhar, former Presidents Shahzada
Alam Monoo, Iftikhar Ali Malik, Executive committee members Mian Zahid Javaid,
Khwaja Khawar Rashid, Tahir M Sheikh, Fahimur Rehman Sehgol, Chaudhry Wajid
Ali and Chairman Skill Development Council Rehmatullah Javed also spoke on the
occasion.
The Ambassador said that more and more Korean companies are showing their
interest for investment in energy sector to help Pakistan overcome the acute energy
shortage it has been facing for long. He said that Korea’s trade with India stands at
$16 billion which will be doubled in a few years; it is $ 1billion a day with China
while bilateral trade with Pakistan is mere $1.1 billion He, However, expressed the
optimism that the volume of trade between Pakistan and South Korea was bound to
increase as both the governments and the private sector, in the two countries, are
taking measures to get the desired results.
He said that the non-availability of required trade-related information was the

biggest hurdle in the way of South Korean investment in Pakistan.
The diplomat while identifying a number of areas for mutual cooperation said that
there was a need for expertise-sharing as both the countries have a lot to learn from
each other. He saidthat there is a big potential in SME sector therefore Pakistani
business community could avail opportunities in this particular area.
While calling for measures to jack-up bilateral trade and increase in Korean
investment in Pakistan, the LCCI President Shahzad Ali Malik said that Pakistan is
a large market, its strategic location as principal gateway to the Central Asian
States and other regional countries offer lot of opportunities for relocation of Korean
Industries in Pakistan.
“We take pride in the fact that Korea has been an important trading country for
Pakistan in Eastern Asian region followed by Japan in terms of size of bilateral
trade. We are glad to have Korea as a Friend of Democratic Pakistan too.”
Shahzad Ali Malik said that both the countries have decades old economic relations
and experienced good results of joint ventures in various fields like
telecommunication, electronics chemical industry and automobiles industry. Korean
companies are also actively participating in infrastructure projects like highway
construction, power generation etc.
It is really great to achieve a landmark by expanding the two way trade to over one
billion dollars in 2010 which was precisely recorded to the tune of USD 1,018.5
million. It showed great improvement from USD 865.2 million in the corresponding
year courtesy to significant increase both in imports and exports between the two
countries.
Trade balance has traditionally not been in favour of Pakistan and currently it
stands at US$-459.7 million. But the good thing is that Pakistan’s exports to Korea
are showing continuous upturn from the last few years like it grew from USD 208
million to USD 279 million from 2008 to 2010.
The LCCI President said that it is the high time that we should shift our emphasis to
attract Foreign Direct Investment from European to Asian countries. At present,
Korean companies are well settled in Pakistan and it provides good grounds to
other Korean investors to venture in Pakistan as it offers a lot of potential areas.
With the consultation and involvement of public and private sector organizations,
further items for trading purposes can be identified which can be traded between
two countries at much competitive prices.
He suggested that to create a win-win situation for both the countries, Koreans
need to increase their imports of cotton, raw hides & skins, fish, medical apparatus,
562
Mon
toys & games, leather products, articles of apparels and textile articles from
Pakistan. Most of the Korean demand for these commodities is being met by Korea
from sources other than Pakistan and only a small fragment is being imported from
Pakistan. A little attention by the Korean Government and businessmen can
increase Pakistan’s exports to Korea considerably.

All Day Iran to Start Pumping Gas to Pakistan Next Year -- TEHRAN (FNA)-
Iran to Start Pumping Gas to Pakistan Next Year
TEHRAN (FNA)- Tehran's Envoy to Islamabad Mashallah Shakeri announced that

Iran would start pumping gas to Pakistan as early as next year.
"If desired, Pakistan can connect with the pipeline next year," the ambassador
added.
He said the Iranian government has constructed the pipeline on war footing just to
facilitate Pakistan.
Shakeri, who is in his fifth year as Tehran's envoy to Islamabad, said that his
country is earnestly and sincerely desirous of providing gas to Pakistan.
Islamabad has also announced earlier this year that it has intensified work on the
multi-billion-dollar pipeline project which is due to bring Iran's gas to Pakistan,
Pakistani media reports said on Sunday.
Work on Iran-Pak Gas Pipeline is quickly progressing and the National Engineering
Services Pakistan (Nespak) signed an agreement with a German Company to place
the pipeline, the reports said in April.
Speaking at a conference on "Challenges Faced by Industries in the country:

Remedies and Future Prospects for Industrialization", Sui Southern Gas Company
(SSGC) Managing Director Dr Faizullah Abbasi stated in April that approximately
1750mn cubic feet (mcf) of gas will be brought through this pipeline.
In a major breakthrough on March 20, 2009, the Pakistani government approved

Iran's proposed pricing formula for gas supplies to the South Asian nation.
Subsequently, Tehran and Islamabad signed a final agreement to launch

implementation of the project.
Tehran and Islamabad also sealed a final contract for the start of Iran's gas exports
to Pakistan through the multi-billion-dollar pipeline in spring 2014.
The last annex of the agreement for export of Iran's gas to Pakistan was signed on
June 13 by Iranian Oil Minister Massoud Mir-Kazzemi and Managing Director of
Pakistan's Inter-State Gas Company Naeem Sharafat in a meeting also attended by
the Iranian oil ministry's representative in gas talks with Pakistan Seyed Reza
Kassayeezadeh.
The 2700-kilometer long pipeline was to supply gas for Pakistan and India which
are suffering a lack of energy sources, but India has evaded talks. Last year Iran
and Pakistan declared they would finalize the agreement bilaterally if India
continued to be absent in the meetings.
According to the project proposal, the pipeline will begin from Iran's Assalouyeh
Energy Zone in the south and stretch over 1,100 km through Iran. In Pakistan, it will
pass through Baluchistan and Sindh but officials now say the route may be changed
if China agrees to the project.
The gas will be supplied from the South Pars field. The initial capacity of the
pipeline will be 22 billion cubic meters of natural gas per annum, which is expected
to be later raised to 55 billion cubic meters. It is expected to cost $7.4 billion.

July 11, 2011 (4 weeks ago)China will help Pakistan generate 10,000 megawatt
(MW) through different projects, said Wang Shaofeng, the director general of Three
Gorges Project Corporation. The corporation has built the world`s biggest
hydropower-complex project `Three Gorges`.

said the Kohala project should have been approved in May 2009 by the Economic
Coordination Committee but “We were told that due to negative propaganda by the
media it got delayed for two years”.
He said the Three Gorges Project now belonged to the world but Pakistan being the
close friend of China would be given priority to resolve its energy crisis.
“If the Pak-Chinese friendship does not turn into an economic friendship, I think it is
of no good,” said Mr Shaofeng.
He said China was interested in investing Pakistan and a number of agreements

had been signed between the two sides.
Sha Xianhua, vice president of the corporation, said China would always encourage
investment in Pakistan in projects.

Zardari proposes Islamabad-Tehran currency swap accord
Sunday, July 17, 2011
TEHRAN: President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday proposed a currency swap

agreement between Pakistan and Iran to further strengthen bilateral trade and
economic ties between the two brotherly countries.
He made this proposal in his meeting with Iranian President Mahmoud

Ahmadinejad here. President Zardari said Pakistan was already in the dialogue
process with Turkey, Sri Lanka and China for the currency swap arrangement.
President Zardari, who arrived in the Iranian capital on a daylong visit on the
invitation of the Iranian leadership, held two rounds of talks with President
Ahmadinejad - first the delegation level talks and then a one-to-one meeting.
The two leaders agreed on adopting a regional approach to address the growing
challenge of extremism and militancy. They expressed the confidence that joint
efforts would prove helpful in countering terrorism.
President Zardari mentioned the long drawn fight against militancy and stressed the
need for long-term measures and joint efforts to eliminate this menace. Interior
Minister Rehman Malik, Water and Power Minister Syed Naveed Qamar, Petroleum
Minister Dr Asim Hussain and Presidential Spokesman Farhatullah Babar also
accompanied the president.
Farhatullah Babar, while briefing the media, said President Zardari held wide-
ranging talks with President Ahmadinejad with focus on establishing a
comprehensive strategic and economic partnership between the two countries.
They expressed their resolve to upgrade and further intensify their existing bilateral
ties, particularly in the fields of energy, trade and economy for the mutual benefit of
two brotherly countries.
President Zardari lauded Iran’s constructive engagement in the trilateral process

and in this respect mentioned the last month’s Pakistan-Iran-Afghanistan Trilateral
Summit hosted by Tehran.
President Zardari proposed that the Iranian government consider creating an

Integrated Border Management Regime between Pakistan and Iran. He said
Pakistan and Iran had vital interests in the stability and peace of the region.
President Zardari mentioned the growing problem of narcotics and human
trafficking in the region, which he said, required mutual coordination among the
governments.
Zardari and his Iranian counterpart also discussed cooperation in the energy sector
with particular reference to the Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project besides
supply of power from Iran to Balochistan.
President Zardari said Pakistan and Iran had the potential to undertake joint
economic projects in Afghanistan in order to enhance connectivity, build
infrastructure, rail and road links as well as trilateral cooperation in other mega
projects. The Iranian president also agreed on taking full advantage of geo-strategic
locations for ushering in a new era of development in the two countries in particular,
and in the whole region.
President Zardari said considerable work had been done on the Iran-Pakistan gas
pipeline project and it was important now to move towards its implementation
phase. He said there was a need to bring about a quantitative increase in Pak-Iran
bilateral trade to at least four billion dollars in the next few years that at present was
one billion dollars.
572
Sun
He called for working together to identify impediments to full implementation of Pak-

Iran Preferential Trade Agreement concluded in 2006. About situation in
Afghanistan, President Zardari said Pakistan supported the process initiated by
President Hamid Karzai for national reconciliation and peace in Afghanistan.
He said Pakistan supported a reconciliation process, which must be Afghan-led and

Afghan-owned, adding Pakistan was ready to provide all possible assistance in
capacity building of Afghan institutions.
Iranian President Ahmadinejad appreciated the role Pakistan was playing in the
promotion of regional stability and peace. Separately, President Asif Ali Zardari
called on the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei, and
discussed bilateral relations, stressing the need for further strengthening them in all
areas.
President Zardari and the Iranian supreme leader exchanged views on bilateral,
regional and global issues of concern, besides the fight against militancy. Ayatollah
Khamenei and President Zardari discussed the situation in Afghanistan with
particular reference to the gradual withdrawal of US forces.
President Zardari had earlier met the Iranian supreme leader in June, when he
visited Tehran to attend the international conference on the fight against terrorism.
Presidential Spokesman Farhatullah Babar, while briefing the media persons, said
Iran’s Supreme leader and President Zardari agreed on the need for further
widening the scope of relations to encompass all spheres of interaction.

The decision was taken in a high-level meeting under the chairmanship of Federal
Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Senator Dr Asim Hussain to review
the current status of the LNG project.
The federal minister gave assurance in the meeting to facilitate and provide equal
opportunities to LNG suppliers, adding that the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural
Resources would ensure the provision of a level-playing field.
It was decided to establish a task force headed by the Chaudhry, as part of the
government’s incentive in the LNG Policy 2006 (Clause 7.4) and to facilitate the
implementation of LNG import projects.
Other members of the task force would be additional secretary of finance, defence,
industries, production, ports and shipping divisions, a representative of Oil and Gas
Regulatory Authority, member customs Federal Board of Revenue, chairman of the
concerned seaport authority, director generals of the concerned EPA, Coast
Guards and Maritime Security Agency and Commander Karachi or COMCOAST
Gwadar. This task force will act as a ‘one-stop-shop’ to address all issues
concerning LNG import projects, including the interpretation of policies and
regulations.
Another decision was taken in the meeting to facilitate LNG importers under one
window operation and comprehensive facilities would be provided. First come first
serve principle will be adopted and bidders be allowed to participate in partnerships.
Successful bidders would have to find LNG buyers by themselves, however, the
government will provide facilitation in this regard and the bidders would have
exclusivity.
Issues relating to pipeline system, pricing and minimisation of wastage were also
discussed in the meeting.
It may be recalled that Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has received
tremendous interest from local and international suppliers in response to its
invitation for the import of LNG under third party access, having received 17
Expressions of Interest for the allocation of capacity under its transmission system
from leading companies interested in developing their own LNG floating storage

All Day Rs 59bn allocated for transport & communication sector -- Daily Times
Rs 59bn allocated for transport & communication sector
By Ijaz Kakakhel
ISLAMABAD: To put transport sector on modern line and improve regional

connectivity links to the Central Asian States, Iran, Afghanistan and India, the
government—under a development programme—has allocated Rs 59.7 billion for
transport and communications sector.
The allocated amount includes Rs 23.7 billion for the budgetary programme and Rs
36 billion for NHA under the budgetary corporations programme. Most of sub
sectoral allocations for 2011-12 are for ongoing works.
Transport and communications strategy: The Transport Development Programme

2011-12 would be based on a broad strategy that will include establishment of a
multi-modal transport system.
An integrated and holistic approach would be adopted for making transport system
more productive, efficient and reliable, which may lower the transport costs and
enhance the productivity of the economy. Strategic emphasis will be made to
improve transport planning, prioritisation and rationalising public sector expenditure,
mobilise resources from users and the private sector and explore institutional
governance reforms.
The government also aims to revitalise the railways system by transforming it into a
commercially-oriented entity, while retaining the railways network in public
ownership, develop port infrastructure and rationalisation of port charges to cater to
transshipment through the landlord port concept with enhanced private sector
participation.
A policy and regulatory framework for private sector participation in National

Highways would be adopted in consultation with different stakeholders to facilitate
investment and increase efficiency.
An allocation of Rs 39 billion has been proposed for the National Highways

Authority. Among the ongoing projects, works will continue on the projects for
acquisition of land and property compensation for construction of 184 km
Faisalabad-Khanewal Expressway E-4 & 103 km Khanewal-Lodhran Expressway
E-5 and construction of Ratodero-Daddu-Sehwan ACW (E-6B) (200 km), Peshawar
Northern Bypass (34 km), Khuzdar-Shahdadkot-Ratodero (Khori-Quba Saeed Khan
143 km) (M-8), Hoshab-NagBasima-Surab Road (N-85) [459], Hassanabdal-
Havelian-Manshera Expressway (Land Acquisition, and many others.
Pakistan Railways: A major step under the NTC initiative is the restructuring of
Pakistan Railways (PR) on commercial lines. The PR would be eventually
converted into a corporation. The PR corporatisation would aim to run railway as
state-owned corporation on a commercial basis and fully meet its statutory
commitment.
The corporatisation would also allow PR to implement organisational and financial

restructuring. It would be run by professionals; have a restructured board and
Public Private Partnership (PPP) would bring both efficiency and investment.
Freight Business Units (FBU) already established would be made more

autonomous eventually leading to formation of a freight company. The PR shall
adopt track access policy.
Under the policy: PR shall manage the track and allow commercial operators /
freight companies in private sector. Freight trains will run on PR’s network with their
own rolling stock under a contract with PR to purchase track access.
Other areas involving private sector would include dry ports, locomotive
577
Tue
maintenance and passenger ticketing and provision of services through
management contracts, e.g. door to door service through cargo express train
operations by private freight forwarders on main trunk routes. An allocation of Rs 15
billion has been proposed for 2011-12. Works on track rehabilitation of PR network,
procurement / manufacture of 114 DE locomotives, procurement/ manufacture of
625 passenger coaches, procurement of 2130 bogie high capacity wagons, 202
passenger coaches, rehabilitation of 450 passenger coaches, doubling of track on
Lodhran-Raiwind sections,
Ports and Shipping: Under this sector, work on Ports Master Plan for Pakistan’s
three ports would continue which, after completion would establish the role / basis
for the responsibilities of each port with a view to optimal / efficient use of port
infrastructure either through competition among ports or by way of specialisation of
the port. Both KPT and PQA Acts will be reviewed to acquire more operational and
financial autonomy.
The Business Plans of each of the three ports would be completed. A project
monitoring unit which has been established within the Ministry of Ports and
Shipping will undertake a study to identify the existing bottlenecks in efficient
operation of ports and recommend phase-wise improvements required at the ports.
Outsourcing of container and other terminals at the ports is also planned. Land
acquisition process for free zone at Gwadar will also be initiated.

All Day Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has approved funds of $90 million for
the reconstruction of a portion of Karakoram Highway (KKH) --
Published in The Express Tribune,
ISLAMABAD:
Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani has approved funds of $90 million for the
reconstruction of a portion of Karakoram Highway (KKH) that was submerged by
massive landslides in Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) early last year. The credit to repair the
strategic highway has been provided by the Chinese government as part of a larger
grant for flood reconstruction activities in communication, energy and transport
sectors.
According to a handout statement issued by the premier’s media office here on

Thursday, Gilani has ordered the authorities in the communication ministry to
complete the project as soon as possible. Reconstruction of KKH has been a major
priority of the government with the route being of immense strategic significance as
well as serving as a historic trade link between the two countries.
Several kilometres of the highway that links Pakistan’s northwest with neighboring
China were totally submerged when flooding, triggered by massive landslides in
Attabad area of Gilgit-Baltistan, created an artificial lake. Thousands of people were
rendered homeless and the only road leading to the Sust border region of China
was completely devastated.
Since then, Pakistani authorities have been struggling to settle displaced people
and reconstruct the highway through their own financial resources. As a
consequence, the Chinese government has come forward with technical and
financial facilities to repair the road – the most viable land route for the country,
through which its industrial products reach the global market via sea ports in
Pakistan. Pakistani leadership has asserted that reconstruction of the road would
benefit both countries enabling resumption of vital trade links which had been
suspended for more than a year. However, it cannot be confirmed as yet whether
the National Highway Authority (NHA) alone would be executing the project or some
foreign company would be included in the reconstruction effort too.

All Day Pak-China Joint Energy Working Group (JEWG) -- The Nation
ISLAMABAD - Pak-China Joint Energy Working Group (JEWG) will discuss
nineteen energy projects in order to enhance cooperation in energy sector between
the two countries and to meet Pakistan’s future energy, water and power
requirements.
The first meeting of JEWG will be held in Beijing (China) on 1-2 August, 2011.
Federal Minister for Water and Power Syed Naveed Qamar, who is chairman of the
JEWG from Pakistan side, will lead the Pakistani delegation for this important
inaugural session. The Pakistani delegation, out of 19 projects, will discuss four
power generation projects of about 2297MW, one coal power project of 405MW,
one project for development of infrastructure and mining and power generation of
Thar coal, four projects of small and medium dams and five projects of transmission
lines and power distribution. One project of alternative energy and two projects of
geological survey of Pakistan seeking technical assistance, financing and
Engineering Procurement Contract would also be discussed. All the power
generation projects will be completed within three to five years. Pakistan will also
take up Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project.
Naveed Qamar has said that through the JEWG, Chinese government, companies,
investors and entrepreneurs will be invited and encouraged to participate in various
initiatives of the Government of Pakistan undertaken for the development of power
sector. The government will facilitate and provide incentives to the Chinese for
investment in the water, power, and other energy sector projects. The government
has always encouraged and welcomed participation of Chinese entrepreneurs,
business houses and investors to participate in the development of all sectors of our
economy including the power sector.
The government is fully committed to resolving the prevalent energy shortages in
the country and achieving energy security objectives on sustainable basis, he
added. He expressed with hope that his visit to Beijing to lead JEWG will be fruitful
and the country will get more cooperation from China in the energy sector. Qamar
will reach Beijing on Sunday to attend JEWG to be held on 1-2 August.
An Energy Working Group was constituted pursuant to an MoU between Pakistan
and China to promote cooperation in the field of energy. Under the MoU, which was
proposed by National Energy Administration of China to establish bilateral energy
cooperation mechanism, the Energy Working Group was assigned the task of
carrying out cooperation in the areas including oil and gas, coal, conventional
power, nuclear and renewable energy etc.
Moreover, during the visit of the Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in December 2010,
under Energy Cooperation mechanism, it was decided that China will provide
financing and cooperation for conventional, renewable and civil nuclear energy
projects, to be identified by Pakistan.

China likely to get Iran-Pakistan pipeline contract Monday, 01 August 2011 00:50
ISLAMABAD: As Russia and China vie with each other to win the construction
contract for the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project, Pakistan is expected to finalise
an engineering and procurement deal with Beijing, which may also provide
financing in line with the growing energy cooperation between the two sides.
Domestic gas utilities - Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) and Sui Northern Gas
Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) - are also lobbying to grab the engineering, procurement
and construction contract for the pipeline, which will bring in much-needed gas from
Iran’s South Pars gas field.
Germany-based consultancy firm ILF is conducting a route survey for the $1.25bn
Pakistani portion of the pipeline and will soon be completing its work, after which
the engineering contract will be awarded. SSGC and SNGPL had also wanted a
share in the consultancy contract with ILF, which resulted in a delay in completing
the survey, sources said.
ILF, which got the contract for $55 million, is working in collaboration with National
Engineering Services of Pakistan (Nespak).
“A major part of the survey for laying the pipeline from Iranian border to Nawabshah
has been completed and the remaining part will be finished by August 2,” an official
said.
During Musharraf’s rule, the government had floated a proposal, asking China to
import Indian share of the gas pipeline after Delhi pulled out of the project.
However, the proposal did not go through.
Sources told that a Pakistani delegation, led by Federal Water and Power Minister
Naveed Qamar, would seek investment and offer the engineering and equipment
procurement contract for the gas pipeline to China.
The delegation will raise the issue in a meeting of the Pak China joint energy
working group scheduled to be held on August 1-2 in Beijing.
Sources said security agencies had given clearance to the route of the pipeline.
“The Bugti area is a sensitive location for oil and gas exploration activities, but other
areas are safe for the transport of Iranian gas through the pipeline,” a source said.
Earlier, Pakistan had also made a formal offer to Russian energy giant Gazprom,
the largest extractor of natural gas in the world, to participate in the Iran-Pakistan
pipeline project in a meeting of the Pak-Russia Intergovernmental Commission held
on September 22, 2010 in Russia.
Pakistan and Iran have already signed an agreement on sovereign guarantee for
the project. They have also inked a gas sale and purchase agreement for import of
750 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) of natural gas with a provision to increase
the volume to one billion cubic feet per day.
The project will be funded through public-private partnership, which will cost
Pakistan an estimated $1.25bn for its side of the pipeline.
Under the agreement, gas supply will start in 2014 and Pakistan will have to pay a
penalty equal to the cost of 750 mmcfd if it fails to receive gas by the stipulated
time.

China’s help in power production
Posted on August 1, 2011
Washington committed to itself a $1.25 billion programme to help Pakistan augment

its energy output in partnership with the government, the private sector and other
donors as part of its aid to Pakistan under the Kerry and Lugar enactment in 2009.
Major component of the programme included supporting Pakistan’s Planning
Commission in developing energy projects for the next five-year development plan,
supporting Alternative Energy Development Board in developing its medium term
renewable energy policy, helping the Environmental Protection Agency develop
environmental impact assessment guidelines for renewable energy resources and
lending technical support flood damage needs assessment of power and hydro-
carbons sectors led by the Asian Development Bank. Rehabilitation of the Tarbela
Dam hydroelectric power station, restoring the Jamshoro, Muzaffargarh, and Guddu
thermal power stations and improving the efficiency of tubewells to boost irrigation
and consequent agricultural activity. In January 2011 the USAID also concluded
and agreement to finance Satpara Dam project in Gilgit-Baltistan. The programme
was launched with a fanfare and secretary of state Hillary Clinton visited Pakistan to
herself initiate tubewells efficiency project. But almost no further progress in
implementation of the programme is reported since then and the project seems in a
major jeopardy in the aftermath of May 2 US mariners Abbotabad operation in
which Osama bin Laden was killed. Subsequent developments saw the Washington
administration completely stopping Pakistan’s military aid and dallying allying on the
civil aid that covered a whole spectrum of socio-economic activity in the country.
This is the background that Pakistan approached China for help to ease the energy
crisis in the country and Pak-China Joint Energy Working Group was established.
The group is to hold its first meeting in Beijing on Aug 1-2. At least 18 projects will
be discussed at the meeting. including four electricity generation projects of about
2,297MW, one coal power project of 405MW, one project for development of
infrastructure and mining of Thar coal, four small and medium dams, five projects
for distribution of electricity, one alternative energy project, and two projects of
Geological Survey of Pakistan seeking technical assistance and financing, etc. An
engineering procurement contract will also be taken up.All the power projects are
proposed to be completed in three to five years. Water and Power Minister Syed
Naveed Qamar would lead the Pakistani delegation during the talks that will also
focus the supply of gas to Pakistan through international pipelines, including Iran
and Turkmenistan. The group was formed under a Memorandum of Understanding,
proposed by the National Energy Administration of China to establish bilateral
energy cooperation mechanisms, to boost cooperation Pakistan and China to
promote cooperation in the field of energy. The group has been the task of
promoting cooperation in areas of oil and gas, coal, conventional power, and
nuclear and renewable energy. Pakistan requires about 18,000MW of electricity to
keep the wheel of industry and agricultural activity moving. The production ranges
between 12,000 and 14,000MW.Approaching China, an all-weather and trusted
friend in need, is a positive step because Beijing, in a sharp contrast with
Washington, will not show back and leave Islamabad high and dry. Whereas the
United States time and again betrayed Pakistan even in the most crucial time,
Chinese leadership has always stood solidly behind Pakistan in difficult times.

Chinese, Turkish and Korean businesses have shown keen interest in investing in
Pakistan's "textile city" of Karachi, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has said.
Gilani said the textile sector plays a significant role in Pakistan's economy. It
constitutes 60 percent of the country's total exports and provides jobs to 40 percent
of the working population.
The prime minister said Pakistan must take full advantage of the opportunities that
are globally available in the textile sector, the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP)
583
Mon
reported.
Gilani underlined the need for improving skills of the labour force to enhance their
productivity and improve the quality of products.
He said that while the government has responded to the demands of the textile
industry by providing relief packages, the industry in turn should assure the
implementation of quality standards and good business practices.
Gilani said it was the duty of both the government and the entrepreneurs to be part
of Pakistan's march towards becoming the hub of quality textile products.
He, however, lamented that while countries like China, India and Bangladesh have
significantly increased their textile market share, Pakistan was yet to capitalise on
such opportunities.
Though Pakistan was blessed with natural resources like cotton crop, unique geo-
political location and a rich history of quality textile products, there were many
problems facing the industry, like low-skilled labour, power shortage and
inadequate infrastructure.
The Pakistan Textile City in the Port Qasim area, once fully operational, will provide
employment to over 80,000 people at its full capacity.
It will attract an investment of $250 million and increase exports by over $3 billion
per annum, he said.
Other benefits will include additional demand for cotton - yarn and crop - and
increased demand for cement, steel and construction material.
This will in turn increase revenue for movement of goods and transport activities
and creation of indirect jobs, Gilani said.

relating to bilateral, Pak-EU and regional development.Foreign Minister Hina
Rabbani Khar while addressing a joint press conference here with Polish Foreign
Minister said, “We discussed ways and means to enhance parliamentary contacts
as well as economic and commercial cooperation.”
She said, “It is encouraging that our two parliaments have established Pakistan
Polish Friendship Groups recently. This will help promote our bilateral cooperation
in strengthening democratic institutions in the two countries.”
The volume of trade between the two countries is slightly over dollars 200 million
which is far less than the potential and the two foreign ministers discussed several
measures to expand the bilateral trade and investment.
Hina said, “Poland has evinced keen interest in increasing the investment in the
development of energy sector in Pakistan.”
Poland has assumed the 6th monthly EU Presidency from this July, therefore, Pak-
EU relations were also discussed during the meeting and it was decided that
Pakistan will get Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) Plus with effective from
2014 which will give boost to Pakistan’s exports to EU countries.
Hina Rabbani Khar said both the foreign ministers agreed to step up efforts in order
to finalize the 5-year engagement plan to launch Pak-EU strategic dialogue this
year.
Pakistan has extended an invitation to Lady Catherine Ashton EU High
Representative for Foreign Affairs to visit Pakistan in near future for Pak-EU
strategic dialogue.

Hina said, “We very much appreciate the greater market access by the EU to
Pakistan and hope that Pakistan specific package under consideration by the World
Trade Organization will sail through.
She said the issue of Free Trade Agreement with EU was also discussed during the
meeting.
Regarding the issue of ban on Pakistan’s fisheries products, Hina Rabbani Khar
said the export which was discontinued in 2008 on sanitary and phyto-sanitary
reasons is likely to resume in the near future as it was discussed during the meeting
today.
“Our two sides are working to finalize details in this regard,” she added.
The Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorshi, who was the first Foreign Minister
of his country to visit Pakistan said it is not his first visit as he visited Pakistan as
journalist to cover the situation in Afghanistan following the invasion of Russian
forces in 1980.
He appreciated role of Pakistan during that period to support the international
community to defeat Russian forces in Afghanistan.
He said Pakistan also paid much in 1979 after the invasion of Russian forces in
Afghanistan that forced Pakistan to accept millions of Afghan refugees.
The democratic process in Pakistan was also suffered after this incident, he said.
The Polish Foreign Minister said, “We feel grateful to Pakistan even today when it
has been an important country in the fight against terrorism.
He also acknowledged the loss in the war against terrorism by the civilians and
even by Pakistan Army. “We appreciate your sacrifices, “ he added.
The Polish Foreign Minister said, there is need to have cooperation adding “what

be part of the solution and should not be ignored as failure is not the option.”
He said Pakistan is the central and a key country in the region and playing
important role in promoting peace and security in the region.
He also appreciated Pakistan’s good relations with its neighbours adding that it is
very difficult to keep such good relations with the neighbours when there are hostile
countries living as neighbours.
The two countries have also signed an instrument for cooperating in the
investigation of murder of Polish geologist in Pakistan as it will provide a chance to
Polish investigative agencies to investigate the murder in Pakistan.
Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar while replying to a question about the delay in
investigation said, due to lack of solid proof the investigation process was delayed.
She said four persons involved in this murder are still absconders, that was
hampering to proceed with investigation.
She however assured that Pakistan is taking all measures to arrest the culprits
involved in the murder of Polish geologist and give them strict punishment.
Replying to a question, the Polish Foreign Minister said even after the withdrawal of
NATO and ISAF troops from Afghanistan, the EU and other countries will continue
to extend full moral and diplomatic support to Afghanistan and Pakistan to ensure
peace in the region.
The Polish Minister while acknowledging the sacrifices of Pakistan in war against
terrorism said this aspect should be considered strictly and there is need to project
such sacrifices more effectively.
Answering the question about approval of EU package of concessions being given
to Pakistan following 2010 floods for increasing its exports to EU, the Polish Foreign
Minister said the neighbouring country of Pakistan has raised objections to this
package. He however said GSP plus in 2014 could be an alternative to this
package.
The Polish Foreign Minister also condemned the murder of a journalist in Pakistan
and said that he was shocked to hear this news.

ISLAMABAD – Pakistan, which is likely to award engineering and equipment
procurement contract for much awaited Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline soon, is
expecting to get Chinese nod for the project to meet ever-growing energy needs of
the country, TheNation has learnt.
“Pakistani delegation, led by Federal Water and Power Minister Naveed Qamar,
has also sought investment and offered the engineering and equipment
procurement contract for the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline to China, sources privy to
the development shared while talking to this scribe, adding that Pakistan is likely to
finalize an engineering and procurement deal with China for the Iran-Pakistan gas
pipeline project, which may also provide financing in line with the growing energy
cooperation between the two sides.
According to sources in the Ministry of Water and Power, Naveed Qamar, who is
leading the Pakistani delegation in the 1st meeting of China-Pakistan Joint Energy
Working Group (JEWG) said Tuesday that the growing energy demand in Pakistan
is a challenge for the government, yet it provides immense opportunities to the
Chinese investors to contribute towards reducing energy shortages in the country
while sharing the benefits.
Pakistan, the minister said, is currently faced with energy demand-supply gap,
saying that the government is fully committed to resolve the prevalent energy
shortages and achieving energy security objectives on sustainable basis with active
support of friendly countries, especially China.
Earlier, Pakistan had also made a formal offer to Russian energy giant Gazprom,
the largest extractor of natural gas in the world, to participate in the Iran-Pakistan
pipeline project in a meeting of the Pak-Russia Inter-governmental Commission
held on September 22, 2010 in Russia. Again, as Russia and China are in vie with
each other to win the construction contract, and a consortium of Sui Northern Gas
Pipeline Limited (SNGPL), Sui Southern Gas Company Limited (SSGCL) and an
Italian company Eni are also lobbying to grab the engineering, procurement and
construction contract for the pipeline, which will bring Iranian gas to Pakistan to
meet its ever-soaring energy needs.
Currently, a Germany based consultancy firm ILF is conducting a route survey on
the Pakistani side of the pipeline and will shortly be completing the assigned task.
Then, the engineering and equipment procurement contract will be granted.
According to sources, SSGC and SNGPL had also sought a share with ILF in the
consultancy contract, which caused a delay in completing the survey. It might be
worth mentioning here that ILF got this contract for $55 million and is currently
working in collaboration with National Engineering Services of Pakistan (Nespak).
Reportedly, a major part of the survey for laying the pipeline from Iranian border to
Nawabshah has been completed and the remaining part is expected to be finished
soon.
The deal is part of the long-delayed $7.5 billion Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline
project. The capacity of Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline was 110 million cubic meters.
Around 1,100 kilometers of the pipeline is reportedly installed in Iran, while the
remaining 1,000 kilometers are planned to be set up in Pakistan. The 2,775-km
pipeline was proposed to start from Asalouyeh (from the South Pars field) and
stretch over 1,100 km through Iran while in Pakistan, it was proposed to pass
through Balochistan and Sindh. In Khuzdar, a branch would spur-off to Karachi,
while the main pipeline would continue towards Multan. The project will be funded
through public-private partnership, which will cost Pakistan an estimated $1.25
billion for its side of the pipeline.
It is worth mentioning here that after receiving final nod from Iran Pakistan has
geared up its efforts to ensure smooth supply of imported gas to the country till
2012 under the proposed multi-billion dollar Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project
(IPI). Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Dr Asim last month announced
that Pakistan would start the work for building the pipeline within the next six
months. Similarly, Ejaz Chaudry, Secretary Ministry of Petroleum and Natural
Resources, earlier while talking to TheNation confirmed that the incumbent
government viewing the outages of gas has intensified work on the multi-billion
dollar pipeline project to ensure gas supply from Iran to Pakistan in 2012.

It is relevant to mention that Pakistan is in dire need of gas and electricity and had
been in talks with various countries to import to meet the crunching national needs
as the energy shortages have worsened over the recent years. However, sources
were upbeat that IP has emerged as a glimmer of hope to overcome the energy
shortage due to gap in demand and supply by utilizing regional resources.
Additionally, Pakistan and Iran have already signed an agreement on sovereign
guarantee. They have also inked a gas sale and purchase deal for import of 750
million cubic feet per day of natural gas.

PakSat-IR symbol of Pak-China cooperation in space science & technology:
Masood Khan
Pakistan’s Ambassador to China, Masood Khan has said that Pakistan’s new
communication satellite -- PakSat-1R, is a symbol of Pakistan-China cooperation in
the area of space science and technology.
“It is a symbol of Pakistan-China cooperation in the area of space science and
technology. It is the first of the kind to be launched by China and Pakistan.
Therefore it establishes a new platform, and it marks a new beginning” said
Ambassador Khan in an interview with China News Agency on the occasion of
launch of PakSat-1R from China.
The use of satellite will bring direct benefits to Pakistan’s economy, Khan said
adding that it will refine and expand our capabilities for the use of broadband
Internet, digital broadcasting, mobile telephony, and disaster prevention and
management. All these capabilities will enable us to focus more sharply on social
development, especially on education and health sectors, he added.
The Pakistan Communication Satellite – PakSat-1R is due to be launched in space
from Chinese satellite launching site located at Xichang city during the second week
of current month, depending on weather conditions. It will replace Paksat-1.
Ambassador Khan said that as we accomplished this goal of launching PakSat-1R,
we will swiftly move on to expand our collaboration with China in related fields of
space science and technology.
The launching of the satellite, he said coincides with the celebrations of 60th
anniversary of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China.
Masood Khan said Pakistan and China “are moving into the higher stages of
aerospace cooperation. Remote sensing satellite is one such area. This satellite will
cover crop monitoring, weather forecasting, urban planning, disaster preparedness
and response, earth observation, and oceanography. These applications will have a
direct impact on our agriculture, industry and services – three vital sectors for
Pakistan’s economy.”
Last year, Ambassador Khan said that Pakistan was hit by massive floods which
caused large scale devastation across the country. It was at that time that we fully
realized the importance of a remote sensing satellite.
In the long term, he said we also want to cooperate with China on satellite designs
to develop Pakistan’s indigenous capability.
He expressed Pakistan’s desire to participate in China’s Manned Space as well
Deep Space Exploration programmes.
He, however regarded it as something for the future. It is our desire that the first
non-Chinese astronaut to travel on board a Chinese spaceflight is a Pakistani.
Referring to the advancement made by China in space technology, Ambassador
Khan said that China is constantly forging ahead at a brisk pace. It has made
extraordinary strides into space science and technology as well as aerospace
industry.
Ambassador Khan said China's space technology industrial base is expanding.
Shenzhou 7, the third manned spaceflight has established a new threshold for
China.
He, however said that “China is not sitting on its laurels. It is constantly moving
forward. It has already planned Shenzhou 8 which will be docked with Tiangong 1
space module. Tiangong-1 will place the first portion of China's planned space
laboratory in orbit. This will be a breakthrough. The docking of Shenzhou 8 and
Tiangong 1 is expected to be followed by Shenzhou 9. The Beidou is yet another
technological achievement as China can launch and operate complex systems in
space. These are all new frontiers that China is conquering” he remarked.
The people of Pakistan, Ambassador Khan said, are proud of these scientific
achievements of China.

ventures in these sectors. “The Punjab government is promoting public-private
partnership for the development of various sectors and the decision of Sinotec to
cooperate in livestock and dairy farming sectors is a matter of satisfaction,” he
added.
Shahbaz Sharif said China was a trusted friend of Pakistan and had played a
commendable role in its progress, while Pak-China friendship was unswerving and
China was such a sincere friend of Pakistan that it would be a matter of honour for
the Punjab government to launch joint ventures with China. He mentioned that an

country and has vast fertile lands and there is a wide scope of investment in energy,
livestock, agriculture and other sectors. The company will fully benefit from
investment opportunities in the province, and has held fruitful discussions with the
authorities concerned regarding investment in hydle power projects and livestock
sectors in the light of which joint ventures will be launched,” he said, adding Lahore

Beijing: For the first time, China will be launching a communication satellite for close
ally Pakistan, a move that will mark “a new beginning” in bilateral space
collaboration.
The satellite named PAKSAT-1R will be launched at an “appropriate time” in the

coming days, state-run Xinhua news agency quoted an unnamed official as saying.
The satellite coincides with the celebrations of 60th anniversary of diplomatic

relations between Pakistan and China. Reuters
The satellite, which was made in China, would provide a variety of benefits,
including high-power communication and weather monitoring facilities, besides
strategic defence applications.
The satellite would be launched from Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in southwest
Sichuan Province by China’s space work horse, the Long March-3B carrier rocket,
he said.
The new satellite is expected to replace PAKSAT-1, which was acquired by

Pakistan in 2002 from the US-based Hughes Space and Communications
Company after Indonesia had given it up due to power problems.
Appreciating China’s gesture, Pakistan’s Ambassador to Beijing, Masood Khan,

said PAKSAT-1R is a symbol of Pak-China cooperation in the area of space
science and technology.
“It is the first of the kind to be launched by China and Pakistan. Therefore, it
establishes a new platform, and it marks a new beginning,” Pakistan’s state-run
APP quoted Khan as telling the Chinese media.
In the long term, he said, “we also want to cooperate with China on satellite designs

The satellite would bring direct benefits to Pakistan’s economy, Khan said, adding
that it would refine and enhance country’s capabilities for the use of broadband
Internet, digital broadcasting, mobile telephony and disaster prevention and

Defence analysts claim that the remote sensing satellite with its high power
cameras could provide a variety of applications in the defence field, including a
peek into the troop movements on the Indian side.
Khan said the launching of the satellite coincides with the celebrations of 60th
anniversary of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and China, moving their
aerospace cooperation to a higher stage.
The satellite will cover crop monitoring, weather forecasting, urban planning,
disaster preparedness and response, earth observation and oceanography.
Pakistan felt the need for such a satellite when it was hit by massive floods last year
which caused large scale devastation across the country, he said.

KARACHI:
Billed as Pakistan’s ‘first’ advanced communications satellite PAKSAT-1R, as a part
of Pakistan’s Space Programme 2040, was launched on Thursday at 9:17 pm on
board China’s Satellite Launch Vehicle from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in
Sichuan province.
The geostationary satellite would orbit at 23,000 miles above the surface of the
earth and is expected to enhance the broadcast and broadband capabilities of the
country. However, some scientists say that what Pakistan Space and Upper
Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco) has achieved today could have been
done 30 years ago. They question whether our so-called space programme is on
the right track.
Expected clients
PAKSAT-1R has a design life of 15 years and will provide TV broadcasting, Internet
and data communication services across South and Central Asia, Eastern Europe,
East Africa and the Far East. The satellite will now enable the extending of
communication services to all areas of Pakistan.
Apart from Pakistan Army, there are more than 45 clients of PAKSAT-1R, including
leading telecom companies such as Mobilink, and broadcasters such as Geo and
ARY.
Technical details
The PAKSAT-1R weighs 5,115kg and is based on the DongFangHong-4 platform

with 18 Ku-band and 12 C-band transponders onboard. The China Great Wall
Industry Corporation (CGWIC) had been nominated as PAKSAT-1R’s chief
contractor after President Asif Ali Zardari and Chinese President Hu Jintao signed
an agreement in October 2008. The company was made responsible for the design,
manufacturing, final assembly, testing and launch of the satellite.
Cost
Suparco has kept mum about the cost of the multi-million dollar project. Sources
within PAKSAT say that at the moment the entire cost has been borne by China
which has to be paid back.
According to a press release, Defence Secretary Lt Gen Syed Athar Ali (R),
Secretary Foreign Affairs Salman Bashir, Director General, Strategic Plans Division
Lt Gen Khalid Ahmed Kidwai (R) and Ambassador of Pakistan to China Muhammad
Masood Khan were present on the occasion. Suparco chairman Major General

telecommunication sector and said that Chinese companies had made significant
contributions to Pakistan's economy through direct investment.
The President called upon ZTE to develop technical skills of the local labour force.
The President said that Pak-China cooperation and low cost Pakistan labour force
could help develop the region as a manufacturing hub for the benefit of both
countries.
He reiterated that ZTE may consider developing a research and development

centre in telecommunication and a plant for manufacture of mobile handsets in
Pakistan.
The President said that he was awaiting his next visit to China later this month to
further consolidate the relations between the two countries which was àn important

uninterrupted gas supply to fertilizer factories.
Punjab Agriculture Minister Malik Ahmad Ali Aulakh said it was the responsibility of
the federal government to ensure provision of agriculture inputs because in the
absence of inputs production could not be increased.
He said during the last three months the cost of a bag of urea had surged to Rs
500, which was beyond the reach of poor farmers.
He said the fertilizer industry believed it could reduce the price if full gas supply was
ensured to them. He said according to the schedule of National Fertilizer Marketing
Limited (NFML) 153,750 tonnes urea had to be imported but only 124,000 tonnes
arrived at Gwadar and Karachi out of which 39,000 tonnes was despatched to
Punjab.
To avoid panic among farmers, the government should ensure timely availability of
required fertilizer to them.
He said that urea should be made available to farmers at controlled rates to

facilitate them for enhancing their per acre yield.
He said steps should be taken to check the smuggling of fertilizers besides

ensuring stability in their prices through district administration. Punjab required 2.4
million tonnes urea and wheat was being sown on an area of 16 million acres and
the sowing process would complete in one month. staff report

China Building Alternative Transport RoutesBEIJING (Nikkei)--China has started
building alternative routes to import energy resources without passing through the
Strait of Malacca. Roads, railways and pipelines are being built to connect three key
ports in the Indian Ocean via land.
Pakistani Ambassador to China Masood Khan told The Nikkei in an interview that
feasibility studies have started on a railroad to connect the port of Gwadar, Pakistan
to Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region in western China.
There are also plans for piplelines. China is expected to finance a large portion of
the projects through grants and loans.
Gwadar is just 500km off the Strait of Hormuz, the gateway to the Persian Gulf. If
China can transport oil by land from Gwadar, it will be a significantly shorter route
than passing through the Strait of Malacca, and thus will increase energy security.
A railway is being built between the port of Kyauk Phyu, Myanmar and Ruili, China's
Yunnan Province. The railway is valued at roughly 70 billion yuan (approximately
845 billion yen) and will be operational by 2016, while an oil pipeline along a similar
route will open by 2013. China is also developing the port of Chittagong,
Bangladesh, one of the leading deep-water ports in Asia.
While China is increasing its naval capabilities, it is also aware that its dependence
on sea lanes is a vulnerability. For instance, a naval blockade or pirate attack in the
Strait of Malacca could harm China's energy supplies.
In the first five months of this year, China's depedence on overseas energy sources
reached 55.2%, surpassing that of the U.S., at 53.5%, for the first time.
China's development has always been driven by its coastal cities, but once the new
land routes are operational, the flow of goods could shift inland.
China is also thinking about strengthening its rail connections to Europe. In a visit to
Europe in June, Prime Minister Wen Jiabao said, "China is willing to accelerate the
construction of the Eurasia railway."

he said that Pakistan expected that this partnership would continue, especially
since it is critical for improving the quality of life of its people. He said that his
government had constituted a high powered committee led by the finance minister
to seek solutions to unscheduled load shedding in the country. The prime minister
underlined the government’s commitment to financial discipline, reducing the fiscal
deficit, mobilising domestic resources and pursuing high growth strategy. On this
occasion, the vice president of ADB said that he had a very useful meeting with
government officials and addressed many issues. He assured the prime minister

China can help with Pak-Iran gas pipeline project
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Saturday said Chinese
companies should help Pakistan complete $1.3 billion Iran gas pipeline project.
Government is desperately looking for foreign funds to complete gas pipeline
project but American opposition is keeping major donors away, it said. “Gas
shortages have not only halted economic growth and can only be resolved through
proper financing,: said PEW President Dr. Murtaza Mughal. “Pakistan should also
raise part of the finances through domestic funding for which banks can make a
consortium,” he said. American continue to stick to their stance despite the severe
crisis in Pakistan which proves that they are not concerned about our economy but
their own geopolitical interests, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal. The US is publically
offering alternatives to Pakistan to hit Iran’s energy sector but such offers are not
applicable, he said. He said that US is ignoring the fact that gas contributes around
53 per cent in Pakistan energy mix which cannot be changed. Mughal said that fuel
shortages have forced the government to ration supplies, resort to gas load
shedding in summer for the very first time and face protests from industry. NNI

All Day China is developing a new Euro-Asian rail continental bridge -- THE
ECNOMIC TIMES
China, In the west, it has planned strategic linkages to Pakistan, Iran and across
central Asia, incorporating the Gilgit-Baltistan tract into Xinjiang's logistics grid,
particularly through a 900-km rail line from Gwadar port in Balochistan on
Pakistan's south-west coast close to the Straits of Hormuz to join the line along
Koh-I-Taftan (on Iranian border)-Spezand-Quetta-Chaman (on Afghan border)
onwards through Khunjerab Pass in the Karakoram to Kashgar (Kashi) in China.
Among the eight rail lines aggregating 5,300 route kilometres that China plans to
construct in Iran, the $2-billion, 580-km line from Tehran through Hamadan,
Malayer and Kermanshah to Khosravi on the border with Iraq, along with a branch
between Arak and Malayer, will provide a new corridor linking it to the
Mediterranean Sea through central Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran.
The line will offer onward linkages via Iraq to the Mediterranean port of Latakia in
Syria, thereby facilitating a southern route to Europe. Following the Tedzen
(Turkmenistan)-Mashhad (Iran) rail tracks at Sarakhs, a through line will enable
China to connect through central Asia with Europe via Turkey.
China's galloping economic and strategic footprints are reflected in its annual trade
with five central Asian countries, worth $27 billion, up from $0.5 billion 20 years ago.
China lent $10 billion to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation countries, 'to shore
up the struggling economies'.
In the east, China extends significant concessional development assistance to

Bangladesh for infrastructure, including the second Padma bridge and a 130-km rail
line from Chittagong to Gundum on the Myanmar-Bangladesh border.
Myanmar is a vital link between the land bridge connecting south Asia and south-
west China, onwards to Europe through central Asia, for which it plans to link up
with the Bay of Bengal port of Sittwe (Akyab) through the Mandalay and Irrawady
rivers. The 232-km Lashio-Muse/Ruili rail line that China builds will complete the rail
network across Myanmar.
In the north, China is busy extending the world's highest 1,142-km Golmud-Lhasa
rail line, which was opened in July 2006, to Xigatse, Tibet's second-largest city. The
253-km extension through geothermal fields at a height of 4,000 m could cost $2
billion and was launched in September 2010. Further extensions could go all the
way up to Kathmandu and to Dromo, close to Bhutan and Sikkim, and possibly to
Nyingchi near Arunachal Pradesh.
In the south, China is now Sri Lanka's biggest investor as well as aid donor. China
is financing nearly all of Sri Lanka's big infrastructure projects, including ports, oil
storage, airports, power plants, roads and an SEZ at Mirigama near Colombo.
Although there is no rail linkage between China and Myanmar, China and Laos,
Myanmar and Thailand, Thailand and Cambodia, Cambodia and Vietnam, and
Vietnam and Laos, China has pursued the ambitious 5,380-km Asean Kunming-
Singapore rail venture, a corridor critical to the Trans Asian Railway project.
Besides promoting rail links from Kunming in Yunnan province to Yangon in
Myanmar, it contemplates helping Thailand with a 240-km Bangkok-Rayong high-
speed rail.

alternate energy (wind power), oil and gas exploration, electric transformation and
transmission, vehicle manufacturing, and shipping would be calling on the

areas with Xinjiang and energy (oil and gas pipelines) and communication (fiber

wants to invite neighbouring countries, such as Pakistan to participate in this
development process and reinforce cross-border economic complementarities.
Ambassador Masood Khan said that the Expo will have 321 booths which will
display the investment environment of Central, West, and South Asian, as well as
European countries, he said adding the Expo will be used for introducing
investment policies; matching investment; exploring cooperative projects; and
demonstrating future commodities.
“Pakistan has also established its own pavilion under the aegis of the Trade
608
Mon
Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP). It will be located in the Eurasia
(international) section”, Khan noted.
Ambassador Masood Khan said Pakistan’s relations with Xinjiang province are

will turn this region into a gateway to Central and South Asia.
He said businessmen and entrepreneurs from Gilgit-Baltistan, Khyber-
Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab and Karachi have already gained exposure in the Xinjiang
markets. The time is ripe for expanding these links. The Kashgar SEZ will be a
catalyst in this regard.
In the realm of counter-terrorism, Pakistan and China enjoy full solidarity and trust,
Khan said and added that for years, Pakistan and China have been working
productively to counter terrorism and to frustrate the designs of ETIM, he said
adding that this cooperation has been intensified.
“China has always recognized Pakistan’s contribution in the war against terrorism
and noted Pakistan’s resolve that it would never allow its soil to be used for terrorist
acts. China has also supported Pakistan’s efforts to uphold its sovereignty,
independence, and territorial integrity”, Khan remarked.

All Day An important four-power summit concluded in Tajikistan on September
2 where Pakistan, Tajikistan, Russia and Afghanistan -- THE NEWS
An important four-power summit concluded in Tajikistan on September 2 where
Pakistan, Tajikistan, Russia and Afghanistan agreed to work closely to combat
terrorism, drug trafficking and organised crime, and stressed the importance of
linking their countries through modern highways and railroads. Significantly, Russia
lamented the lack of progress in Pakistan-Afghanistan energy projects that could
help bring stability to the volatile region. “There’s a whole range of projects that
have been on the table for a long time which have seen no movement forward and
which should be implemented,” the Russian president said, referring to the
transnational gas pipeline and the CASA-1000 through which power will be sent
from Tajikistan to Afghanistan and Pakistan. Indeed, like previous years, this year
too there was talk of Central Asian electricity, and like previous years, the transport
infrastructure needed to be able to achieve this continues to be missing. Given that
Pakistan has been consistently looking to Tajikistan to strengthen its national power
grid and Tajikistan has been eyeing Gwadar for an outlet to the sea through
Pakistan, it is important to correct this infrastructure deficit and aim for the early
establishment of air, road and rail links from Central Asia to Pakistan. In this regard,
the road link from Dushanbe to Chitral in Pakistan and through Iskatul Gulkhana in
Afghanistan is a welcome idea. It will also link the ports in Gwadar and Karachi to
Dushanbe and onwards to Russia.
In Tajikistan, the leaders also stressed cooperation to fight and eradicate terrorism
and extremism. Most important in this regard was the Russian and Pakistani
suggestion that the Nato-led coalition in Afghanistan step up training of local
security forces as it completes its phased withdrawal so that the new Afghan force
is able to independently provide for the defence capabilities of the state, and
combat extremist groups and drug traffickers. Russia is most keen to demonstrate it
is playing a constructive role in improving security in a region where it has had a
major influence historically and where it now wants to expand its footprint,
especially as relations between Islamabad and Washington plummet. The thrust of
the Tajikistan summit, as of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, is to replace
terrorism with trade as the mode of communication between states. Indeed, if
Pakistan wants to become a player in the Central Asian region, it is essential to
establish trade and trade routes and stand firmly against the export of extremism
from non-state actors. For decades, Pakistan has been quietly supplying the food
markets of Central Asia through smuggling. The Pakistani potential for growing food
crops can only be realised if it becomes a permanent source of supply to the region
through secure and formal trade routes.

All Day Central Asia and trade expansion -- APP
Central Asia and trade expansion
The project to import energy and gas from the central Asian republics is in the
pipeline and is a very important development for economic expansion of trade and
bilateral relations. The recent visits of the top leaderships to the central Asian
republics are significant in the context of expansion of Pakistan’s trade in the future.
With regard to this region, two great discoveries were made in the nineteenth and
the twentieth centuries. This is the period when socio-economic and other history of
the world was being compiled and written. One was the finding of the origins of the
Gandhara heritage and the other was the discovery of the Indus valley or the
Harappa civilisation. It gave a great perspective to the diversity of a cultural
richness and economic history of development of a mercantile community in the
region.
The trade routes through the north and north-west of the country have always been
significant part of economic development of this region. From the days of the rise of
the Indus valley civilisation to this day, these routes have been the conduit of
trading in a vast variety of goods. Chronicles available from the times of Alexander’s
visit to Taxila and other parts of this region speak of thriving and prospering trading
towns. As Buddhism spread to the Ghandara area, the monasteries had become
the trading centres of repute. The coming of Buddhism had resulted in bringing
great social and revolutionary reforms. In socio-political and economic terms, it
produced thinking somewhat equivalent to liberal democratic thought today. It
brought significant developments in social equality and harmony, thus challenging
the orthodoxy that resisted any change. Buddha chose the popular language
Magadhi for his teachings, instead of the classical language of the day which was
not understood by the ordinary folks. From fifth to the seventh century, travelogues
of at least three important Chinese visitors to these regions speak volumes of the
potential these present day opportunities have in store for developing these trade
openings.
A very timely and recent opening of an exhibition in New York on the Gandhara
heritage of Pakistan, with artifacts borrowed from the Lahore and Karachi
museums, speaks greatly of the rich history of the Pakistan area. This region has
been home to not only one of the three significant and ancient civilisations but has
been a repository of many later developments in different eras, spreading through
the two millenniums to this day, that thrived in trade, commerce, art and
architecture. Alexander entered South Asia through the Chitral region and visited
Udayana, the present day valley of Swat, before crossing the Indus and heading
south. The valley, along with other important towns of the Gandhara region, was
home to many Buddhist monasteries that were also operating as centers of trade
and commerce. The projection of an image of Pakistan as a country that can be
genuinely portrayed as a country with a vast and important heritage of some of the
great civilisations in world history, is sure to go a long way in helping to bring this
country in the forefront of economic activity and trade.
The rail link from Pakistan to Europe has recently been completed and is sure to
enhance trade through land to the Middle East and beyond. Along with the land
routes, the building of railway passage through the northern routes is a sine qua
non for the great expansion of trade through southern ports of Karachi and Gwadar.
The Afghan-Pak trade is doing well but the great potential is to open access to the
farther regions. We missed the opportunity back in the eighties when the developed
countries had generously offered to upgrade the north-south road and rail links. The
concerns of the world community are still the same and all help can be forthcoming
if we can put up a transparent and efficient system to seriously implement the
projects. The Motorway between Peshawar and Lahore/Faislabad needs to be
extended all the way south down to the two important ports. Its natural access and
expansion in to the central Asian region must be expedited through better
diplomatic skills and projecting the rightful image of this country.

China is best to handle Gwadar, says Brig Mir
LAHORE - Pakistan can earn up to $60 billion a year by properly using the Gwadar
Port, a former military official says. Brig Nadir Mir said in an interview to Family
magazine that former president Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz
had taken a very wrong decision by signing an agreement with Singapore for the
control of Gwadar Port. The step, he alleged, had been taken to please the US and
India.
In his opinion China was the best country to handle the port.
Brig Mir said up to $3 billion could be earned only by exporting fish from this port.
This was a better option than seeking assistance from the US, he emphasized. He
proposed that the people of Balochistan should be made shareholders in the
Gwadar Port. Also, he said, the reservations about settlement of people from other
areas should be addressed. The non-locals should not have the right to vote for 20
years.
The brigadier said the construction of a defence base at Gwadar would bolster
Pakistan ’s defence. Answering a question, Brig Mir said there was no secessionist
movement in Balochistan till the assassination of Nawab Akbar Bugti. However, he
said the tragedy provided the enemies of Pakistan an opportunity to start
disturbances there.

ISLAMABAD:
Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is making efforts to take control of
Pakistan-China Friendship Centre, presently under the supervision of Capital
Development of Authority (CDA), it has been learnt.
“There is no logic in giving a cultural centre to a civic body,” said a senior official of
the information ministry. He said that cultural activities do not fall under the purview
of CDA, which serves to provide civic facilities to residents of Islamabad.
He said that the centre could be used generate revenues to fund the various
cultural activities conducted by the information ministry.
The official said that the information minister will soon write to the prime minister to
bring the Pak-China Friendship Centre under supervision of the information
ministry, as an allied department of Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA).
Sources said that some senior officials of CDA are reluctant to give up control of the
centre, which includes a fully equipped auditorium with 800 seats, an exhibition
centre, a conference room for 250 people and a multipurpose hall.
In the last meeting of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Information

and Broadcasting, Information Minister Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan also expressed her
reservation over giving cultural departments to different ministries. She said that
since PNCA has been given to the information ministry then the Pak-China
Friendship Centre should also be given to the same ministry as it is a cultural centre
and has nothing to do with CDA.
The Pak-China Friendship Centre, inaugurated early this year, was a gift from the
Chinese government. The Rs2.5 billion project took two years to complete and was
left under the control of the Ministry of Culture.
However, after the devolution of the ministry under the 18th Amendment, the centre
was handed over to CDA, Islamabad’s civic body, while other cultural department
including Lok Virsa and PNCA were given to the Ministry of Information and
Broadcasting.

LAHORE: The textile sector is upbeat on the prospects of trade enhancement and
joint ventures after signing a memorandum of understanding with Shandong
Chamber of Commerce as Shandong generates $100 billion of Chinese textiles
exports, accounting for 60 percent yarn and fabric consumed in China, an official
said on Friday.
Pak-China Investment Company Limited (PCICL) after evaluating the high

prospects of mutually beneficial trade in textile between Pakistan and China
facilitated the signing of MoU between All Pakistan Textile Mills Association
(APTMA) and Shandong Chamber of Commerce, he said.
PCICL Managing Director Cao Wen Jiang said that the situation is similar to the

of Rs8,000 drawn by Pakistani textile worker, he said.
You Wei Li, Deputy Chairman, Shandong Chamber of Commerce, said that the
Shandong province is close to the South Korea and has a population of eight million
with annual exports of $200 billion.
More than 50 percent of the exports are of textiles, he said.

low value-added textiles, including yarn, which is the basic raw material for its textile
industry.
The Chinese are looking for joint ventures in yarn production in Pakistan to ensure
sustained supplies of this raw material to their industry, he said, adding that the free
trade agreement (FTA) that China signed with Pakistan provides it huge advantage

Speaking at Lahore Chamber of Commerce & Industry, he said Pakistani

businessmen should avail Iranian expertise as both countries have great potential
for enhancing economic cooperation amongbusiness communities. "Exchange of
business delegations could pave way to explore areas of common interest.
Iran would provide technical and other assistance to Pakistan to overcome energy

Shakeri hoped industrial exchange program would help promote trade relations.
Iran is willing to import rice, meat, fruits and many other items from Pakistan. Iran
and Punjab government were going to set up slaughterhouses in Lahore.
He said Iran made tremendous progress in various sectors and there is vast scope
of cooperation in energy sector. "We could also help Pakistan in producing
electricity from water, coal, air and solar options." Both countries should enhance
further cooperation in trade, industry, other sectors.
LCCI President Irfan Qaiser felt both countries have yet to realize their full potential.
Pakistan and Iran have large domestic markets and unique geo-strategic
competitive advantage. He gave proposals as to how both brotherly countries could
enhance bilateral trade and two-way business.
He said Iran, Pakistan gas pipeline project, supply of electricity, offer to help
Pakistan tackle its growing energy crisis and in starting of Islamabad, Tehran,
Istanbul train service would go a long way. There is no doubt that both sides
consistently managed to maintain bilateral trade over $1 billion mark. However, this
is far below true trade potential existing in both sides, he observed.
"I strongly believe we have potential to increase annual bilateral trade to $5 billion
by 2015.
Facilitating bilateral trade in local currencies can be instrumental in seriously

improving two-way trade. China and Russia already started trade in their local
currencies. Barter trade should also be actively facilitated since it can be highly
efficient mode of buying and selling. It is high time that we also put in place such
mechanisms," Irfan Qaiser added.

All Day Hatf-VII strengthens Pak defence -- Observer

Hatf-VII strengthens Pak defence
PAKISTAN successfully test fired the multi tube indigenously developed cruise
missile Hatf-VII (Babur) having a range of 700 KM. The low flying, terrain-hugging
missile with high manoeuvrability and stealth capabilities is a valuable addition
which would certainly further strengthen the defence of the country.
Pakistan periodically test fires its missiles to validate and upgrade its missile system
keeping in view its security needs and to counter the massive military build up in our
neighbourhood. In view of limited resources and experience of the past, Pakistan
cannot afford to depend on imported hi-tech equipment because in difficult times,
sanctions are enforced and the country is left with no spare parts to keep its direly
needed system functioning. At the same time India is on a massive arms buying
spree by acquiring aircraft carrier, nuclear submarine and hi-tech aircraft in addition
to indigenously developing a variety of nuclear capable missiles. Pakistan has been
fast loosing the defence balance with India and it could seriously affect our security
if urgent attention was not paid to it. The Naval Chief Admiral Mohammad Asif
Sandila while speaking at the graduation ceremony of PAF at Risalpur was perfectly
right in emphasising that indeed peace is dear but defence of Pakistan is the
dearest and as the global atmosphere was rapidly changing, the Pakistan defence
forces needed to advance according to new trends. In this situation, the country has
to ensure its minimum deterrence capability, which is only possible if we try to stand
on our own feet. Fortunately our scientists and engineers have proved that they can
deliver if they were provided the required resources. It is encouraging that Pakistan
Navy has placed orders with Karachi shipyard and engineering works for building a
fast missile attack craft in collaboration with China. The project of missile carrier
643
Wed
craft will further bolster the strength of Pakistan navy and improve the defence
capabilities of Pakistan. We are confident that the nuclear and missile deterrence,
development and production of naval platforms and aircraft with the expertise of
Pakistani scientists and engineers and the collaboration of China would help meet
our defence needs because only a strong defence is guarantee to security and
sovereignty of the country.

China seen investing $11bn in energy sector
BEIJING: Ambassador to China Masood Khan has said that Pakistan envisions a
Chinese investment of more than $11 billion in the energy sector during the next
five years.
The Ambassador expressed these views in his introductory remarks at a Road

Show held here for the management, operation, maintenance and rehabilitations of
the nine public sector thermal power complexes through private sector Operation
and Maintenance contractors by Pakistan’s Private Infrastructure Board (PPIB).
He said that a major part of Pak-China economic cooperation is focused on energy

development.
He pointed out that PPIB is a prestigious organization. Since 1994, under its aegis,
the energy generation capacity of the private sector has increased to more than
8000 megawatts. PPIB have even more ambitious plans for the future and expects
to add an additional 8000 megawatts in the next 5-6 years.
The Government of Pakistan has now asked PPIB to outsource management,

operation, maintenance (O&M) and up gradation of nine public sector thermal
power plants, with an installed capacity of around 4500 megawatts, to the private
sector. These plants are currently producing only 1,400 to 2,000 megawatts of
electricity.
Chinese enterprises have undertaken numerous projects in Pakistan in

hydropower, thermal, nuclear and alternate energy sectors, he said adding the 5-
year development programme in particular encompasses the whole spectrum of
economic cooperation but lays special emphasis on energy cooperation.
The Mangla dam raising, Kohala dam, Neelum Jhelum dam, the Nandipur and the
Chichokimalian Thermal power projects are some of the important projects being
undertaken by Chinese enterprises in Pakistan.
A number of big hydro, coal and alternate energy worth billions of dollars are in the
pipeline, he noted.
Last year, our top leadership decided to set up a Pakistan China Joint Energy
Working Group (JEWG).
The Group’s first session held in August this year has indentified a vast array of
coal, hydro, thermal, and alternate energy projects. This Ministerial level working
group will ensure that all projects undertaken between Pakistan and China have the
full support of our governments.
He said that most economic analysts now believe that a major portion of future
global growth is going to take place in developing countries, particularly in Asia.
In Pakistan, despite the adverse international economic situation due to weak

demand in Europe and the recent financial crisis, the economy remains essentially
robust with high demand for consumer goods and energy.
During recent years, Khan said that in tandem with our strong political and strategic
ties, economic cooperation with China has grown substantially.
Last year our overall bilateral trade with China grew by 28 per cent and Pakistan
exports to China increased by 37 per cent setting a good trend, he noted.
We also have Free Trade Agreements on goods, investment, and services, a Free
Trade Commission, and a Five Year Economic and Trade Development
Programme for structured and targeted economic cooperation, he added.
647
Fri
He said that we invite the Chinese corporations to consider participating in the
management and operations of these projects because of five reasons: (1) Pakistan
and China enjoy ideal relations; (2) Pakistan’s environment is hospitable for
Chinese investments; (3) Chinese corporations have proven competency to take on
such portfolios because of their prolonged exposure and experience in Pakistani
markets; (4) China is fast emerging as the biggest energy investor in Pakistan; and
(5) investments in Pakistan are win-win partnerships.
Khan expressed the hope that private management of these enterprises will ensure
timely investments, increased efficiency and enhanced productivity. The
Government of Pakistan is offering generous incentives through taxation, tariffs and
guarantees.
He concluded by saying that we in Pakistan are proud of our growing relations with
cutting edge, world class Chinese energy corporations which have chosen Pakistan
for their present and future investments. – APP

Pak seeks USD 11 bn investment from China
Amid strains in its ties with the US, Pakistan has asked its all-weather ally China to
invest over USD 11 billion in its various energy projects.
Pakistan envisions a Chinese investment of more than USD 11 billion in the energy
sector during the next five years,Islamabad's envoy, Masood Khan, said. He was
speaking at a Road Show held here for management,operation, maintenance and
rehabilitation of the nine public sector thermal power complexes through private
sector Operation and Maintenance contractors by Pakistan's Private Infrastructure
Board (PPIB) .
Khan said that a major part of Pak-China economic cooperation is focused on

energy development to be routed though the privatisation of the PPIB which
generates 8000 mw of power through different sources.
The first Pakistan-China Joint Energy Working Group (JEWG) meeting held here
two months ago has identified a vast array of coal, hydro, thermal and alternate
energy projects. At the JEWG meeting, Pakistan's Water and Power Minister Syed
Naveed Qamar had proposed 19 new energy projects to China to overcome power
crisis, in addition to a host of hydro and nuclear energy projects currently being
implemented.
The new proposed projects include four power generation plants of 2,297
megawatts and one coal power project of 405megawatts.Besides constructing two
nuclear power reactors of 350 mw each at Chashma, China has committed to build
two more in addition to a one giga mw nuclear power project, which could only be
possible after Beijing fully develops the mega reactors as it cannot export foreign
technology which it currently uses.
Also, China is assisting in three major dams, including USD 13 billion Diamer-
Basha dam in Gilgit-Baltistan in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), which has a
planned capacity of 4500 mw.
India has expressed its reservations to China over projects in the PoK
region.Meanwhile, a Chinese expert has cautioned Beijing about investments in
Pakistan, citing risks owing to political and economic uncertainties in that country
despite close ties.
Hydro and nuclear projects all involve huge, long-term investments and Chinese
firms should not underestimate risk factors like political and economic uncertainties,
Wang Jianmao, an economics professor at China Europe International Business
School in Shanghai told state-run Global Times daily recently.
"Due to political reasons, Chinese foreign-aid investments tended not to have high
returns, but it should not continue to be so, as China is expected to keep
diversifying investments for the next 10 to 20 years," Wang said.Khan said Pakistan
invited the Chinese corporation because the two countries enjoy ideal relations.
He said Pakistan's environment is hospitable for Chinese investments and Beijing's

corporations have proven competencyto take on such portfolios because of their
prolonged exposure and experience in Pakistani markets. China is fast emerging as
the biggest energy investor in Pakistan and its investments in Pakistan are win-win
partnerships, he added.
Hoping for timely investments, he said Pakistan is offering generous incentives

through taxation, tariffs and guarantees.

The Additional Foreign Secretary, Sajjad Kamran said on the occasion that it is an
honour for him to join our Chinese friends and distinguished guests at the opening
ceremony of the Chinese Cultural Exhibition, aptly named as “Oriental Lingering
Charm”.
True, the oriental charm is lasting. He added that Madam Geng’s visit therefore
marks an important event this year when we celebrate the 60th anniversary of
establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries. China’s
undeniable support for Pakistan in difficult times is deeply appreciated. Pakistan-
China cooperation covers a number of areas of mutual interest.
An important segment of this cooperation is cultural and people to people
interaction. Cultural exchanges between Pakistan and China are centuries old.
The historical Silk Road now known as Karakoram Highway binds our cultural past
and the present together. He further said that the richness and variety of the
Chinese culture is only too well-known.
Madam Geng Ying is a renowned artist who has played a key role in promoting the
Chinese culture at home and abroad.
This exhibition will certainly provide a unique opportunity to the visitors to
experience what the Chinese culture has to offer at its best.
It would also renew our cultural linkages on which we can rightly pride ourselves.

Pak-China friendship: Fast attack missile craft keel laid in Karachi
By Fahim Patel - Oct 28th, 2011 (No Comment)
3Karachi: Keel laying ceremony of the first Fast Attack Craft (Missile) for Pakistan
Navy was held at Karachi Shipyard today. Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Tayyab Ali
Dogar was the chief guest on the occasion.
The construction of the state of the art Missile Craft is a Pak-China joint venture.
Under the contract, one craft each would be constructed in Pakistan and China.
Speaking on the occasion, the chief guest said that execution of many projects and
joint ventures is a reflection of ever increasing cooperation between Pakistan and
China. Keel laying of the missile craft today is a step forward in this direction.
He apprised that the missile being built in China has already been launched on
September 20, 2011 and is expected to be delivered to Pakistan in April 2012. He
hoped that successful completion of this project will pave way for more projects to
be undertaken in future.
Congratulating the construction team, the chief guest said that these missile crafts
will bolster maritime defense of Pakistan.
He expressed his confidence that Karachi Shipyard along with Chinese technical
assistance team will make relentless efforts for timely accomplishment of this
project.
Apprising the audience about the characteristics of the craft, the Managing Director
of KSEW Rear Admiral Hassan Nasir Shah said that the craft has a maximum
speed of 30 knots and is propelled by 4 diesel engines. It would also be equipped
with latest weapons and sensors.

All Day Karzai's challenge: Emerging Pakistan-Afghanistan Ties -- THE
CANADIAN
Karzai's challenge: Emerging Pakistan-Afghanistan Ties
Date: 29 October 2011Posted By : by Dr. Abdul Ruff
The entry of Pakistan into the notorious UNSC as a member without veto that would
have made Islamabad powerful enough to dictate terms to all global criminal rogues
led by NATO terror syndicate has now forced both USA and Afghanistan to change
its atrociously arrogant postures against Pakistan, although a visible policy shift is
not discernible from these anti-Islamic scoundrel nations.
The Obama regime now says Pentagon would not wage an open war with Pakistan,
but would only continue the ongoing terror war inside Pakistan killing innocent
Muslims as the birth right of US criminals. The CIA says the Pak-US dialogue
process is going on with success. USA also asks its puppet regime in Kabul to
accelerate Afghan-led reconciliation talks in which Pakistan should also play its
role. Now US is realizing that launching new military operation in Pakistan doesn’t
suit Pakistan’s situation and is also looking for other means for tackling the issue of
“militancy” including the reconciliation process.
Every thing remains at instructions level from Washington. In stead of admitting the
Pentagon-India manipulating the surcharged atmosphere in both Pakistan and
Afghanistan, USA continues to bluff that Pakistani Taliban has established havens
in Afghanistan posing threats of attacks against Pakistan.
Today, Afghanistan and Afghans are being seen as pro-US, pro-India and anti-
Pakistan and anti-Islam. It is difficult to differentiate between US terrorism and
private militancy. Afghanistan and Pakistan have served as graveyards for
superpowers that are the fanciful myths that exalt the Pakistani identity as US
servants and Afghan identity as heroic warriors.
Both Washington and Kabul have, possibly to fool the world, repeatedly said
Pakistan is providing sanctuary to terrorist groups launching attacks in Afghanistan.
Not long ago, Gilani said Pakistani agencies and the CIA were working together
towards this end and had hit high-value targets. He said he could not declare that
Pakistan had become powerful enough to stand against America but relations
between the two countries were based on mutual interest.
Since the USA has not yet openly declared the true picture of Al-Qaeda, Taliban
and Haqqani network ass being the CIA creations, it is deadly impossible to comply
with US claims on threat perceptions.
Recently Afghan Ambassador Muhammad Omar Daudzai said in an interview with

Waqt TV that both Pakistan and Afghanistan were facing a common enemy. He
rightly emphasized that both the countries would have to work together to tackle
their common problems. He particularly stated that this common enemy was a
master of stratagem trying to pit both the nation against each other.
The enemy is obviously the US, which on the one hand has literally crushed the
Afghan nation under its brutal occupation, something that has led to deaths of
millions of innocent Muslims and on the other, its drone attacks and unilateral
operations inside Pakistan have thrown us in the eye of the storm..
Upon election of Pakistan to the notorious UNSC, Afghan puppet President Hamid
Karzai said that if the USA and Pakistan ever went to war, his country would back
Islamabad — a statement that contrasts with his harsh criticism of his eastern
neighbor during US minister Hillary Rodham Clinton's recent visit to Kabul. He now
says "his country" is indebted to Pakistan for taking in millions of Afghan refugees
over the years and stressed that Kabul would not allow any nation — be it the USA,
India, Russia, China or anyone else — to dictate its policies. Karzai even labelled
Pakistan as Afghanistan's "twin brother". This change of Karzai mind is intriguing.
Such words in diplomatic talks mean that Afghanistan cannot turn enemy against
655
Sat
the state of Pakistan to please others. Such a scenario is exceedingly unlikely, and
Karzai's remarks appeared to be less a serious statement of policy than an overture
to Pakistan, whose cooperation is sorely needed if Afghanistan is to have a chance
at stability after years of conflict and civil war.
Nonetheless, Karzai's comments contrasted sharply with his show of alliance with
Washington during Clinton's visit last week, during which the American ramped up
the pressure on Islamabad to crack down on militants using its territory for attacks
into Afghanistan.
Karzai also vented his grievances against the US, asking it to stop entering Afghan
homes especially when men are away on fictitious pretexts. The Obama forces are
conducting the Soviet era night raids to attack Muslims, in reality not only causing
not only civilian casualties, but also outrage among the population that regards the
sanctity of homes as a matter of honour.
Afghan’s puppet present Hamid Karzai, who is accustomed to blowing hot and cold
in his attitude towards Pakistan, is apparently passing through a kindlier phase. His
remark, "Afghanistan will stand by Pakistan, if attacked by the US," astonished the
global audience. He declared that even in the case of an attack by India, or for that
matter, by any other quarter, Afghans would side with Pakistan. Karzai
administration feels that the remnants of the former Taliban government are being
supported by factions within Pakistan for the same above reasons. Karzai naturally
says and speaks what the CIA asks him to. In 2006 Karzai warned that "Iran and
Pakistan and others are not fooling anyone" when it come to interfering in his
country.
For the first time, Karzai acknowledged Pakistan’s generous treatment of the five
million Afghan refugees, who had fled the country during the Soviet invasion and
provided shelter and taken care of by Pakistan, he argues that has strengthened
the spirit of brotherhood among the people of Afghanistan for their Pakistani
counterparts.
II
Many Pakistanis and Afghans see in each other’s nation a common bond based on
religion, history, culture, language and ethnic ties.
Afghanistan–Pakistan relations are relatively new that began in August 1947 when
Pakistan came into existence as an independent nation. Since 1947 the ties had not
been very encouraging, but since then, in order to advance its illegal hidden
agendas in the region, America, on the pretext of Sept-11 hoax has very
systematically divided Pakistan and Afghanistan almost on a permanent basis. Both
have the US puppet regimes and CIA make both fight each other while promoting
US illegal interests in the region.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are usually described as inseparable states due to their
historical, religious, cultural, linguistic, and ethnic ties, as well as their multiple trade
and economic ties. Both neighbouring states are Islamic republics and part of the
South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation- SAARC. However, the
relationship between the two countries has been affected by the Durand Line, the
issues of Pashtunistan and Balochistan, the 1980s Soviet war, the rise of the
Taliban, the 2001-present US terror war, and the growing influence of India in
Afghanistan to control this increasingly destabilizing nation.
The Durand Line border was established after the 1893 Durand Line Agreement
between Mortimer Durand of colonial British India and Amir Abdul R Khan of
Afghanistan for fixing the limit of their respective spheres of influence. Pakistan
inherited this agreement after its partition from India in 1947 but there has never
been a formal agreement or ratification between Islamabad and Kabul. The Afghan
government still refuses to recognize the poorly-marked Durand Line as the
international border between the two states.
Southern and eastern Afghanistan is predominately a Pashto-speaking region, like

656
Sat
the adjacent Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, federally administered Tribal Areas, and
northern Balochistan in Pakistan. This entire area is inhabited by the indigenous
Pashtuns who belong to different Pashtun tribes, now converted by the western
terrocracies into terrorist zones. The Pashtuns have lived in this region for
thousands of years, since at least the 1st millennium BC.

Chinese firm donates 1m Yuan to Pak flood victims
By Fareeha Khalid - Nov 2nd, 2011 (No Comment)
4Islamabad: China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC) Tuesday donated 1

million Chinese Yuan for the flood affected people of Pakistan, says a press release
received from Beijing on Tuesday.
The Vice President of CRBC, Liu Hong while handing over the Cheque to
Ambassador Masood Khan at the Pakistan Embassy in Beijing said that the
Chinese people and government received the tragedy with sorrow that “caused
great loss to Pakistani people and also broke our hearts.”
The disaster would not stop the resilient and brave Pakistani people’s march for
pursuing economic prosperity.
He said that last year his organization donated US$ 150,000 to Pakistan Prime
Minister’s Flood Relief Fund.
“Through years of co-operation in different projects, CRBC has already cultivated

deep friendship with Pakistan,’ Liu observed.
He said that we are very proud and honoured that CRBC could participate in the
Karakorum Highway (KKH) improvement project that connects China and Pakistan
with economic, political and strategic importance.
He further said that it is a happy augury to note that the supplemental commercial
contract for the KKH Realignment Project has also been signed after mutual efforts
by the two countries.
Earlier, Ambassador Masood Khan while expressing thanks to. Liu Hong for
CRBC’s financial assistance on behalf of the people of Pakistan and the
government for the flood affectees in southern Pakistan said that this gesture will
bring smiles on the faces of the people facing this natural calamity.
He said that CRBC was working on the expansion of KKH, the main artery of road
communication between Pakistan and China which on completion will bring
prosperity to the region.
Terming Mr. Liu a “great friend of Pakistan”, Ambassador Khan appreciated the
gesture of relief assistance from CRBC.
He said that unfortunately this year’s floods have also affected the southern part of
Pakistan and caused widespread devastation there.
He praised CRBC for helping Pakistan to solve one of the most serious disasters in
Pakistan which was the Ataabad Lake and the company’s efforts towards
reconstruction of KKH, the friendship highway between the two countries.
Ambassador Masood Khan said that when the project is completed, the KKH will
become an all-weather road with no interruption of transportation between Pakistan
and China.

Turkmenistan, Pakistan reach TAPI gas price agreement
By Robert M Cutler
MONTREAL - Pakistan and Turkmenistan have reportedly reached bilateral

agreement over the price of gas through the planned Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-
Pakistan-India (TAPI) natural gas pipeline. An editorial in the national Pakistani
newspaper The Dawn treats the agreement as an accomplished fact, and a former
director-general of the Associated Press of Pakistan writes in the UAE-based
Khaleej Times that the two sides will sign the agreement on November 15 in
Ashgabat.
According to this credible but unconfirmed published information, Pakistan's price to

Turkmenistan will be 69% of Brent crude oil parity price (including transit fee) for
between 13 and 14 billion cubic meters per year (bcm/y). This figure could exceed
20 bcm/y
Dilbert
if a facility is constructed for export of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the Pakistani
port city of Gwadar in the southwest of the country.
Just a few days earlier India's president Pratibha Devisingh Patil, in his
congratulations on the 20th anniversary of Turkmenistan's independence,
expressed his happiness over the TAPI natural gas pipeline's "successful
promotion". India, which signed a bilateral price accord with Turkmenistan some
time ago, will receive the same quantity of gas as Pakistan (not counting the
Gwadar extension), and Afghanistan will get 5 bcm/y.
Nor is this necessarily the upper limit. Turkmenistan's Oil and Gas Ministry
concluded from a survey last year that by the end of the decade the total demand
for natural gas in Pakistan and India together might reach as much as 186 bcm/y,
whereas their indigenous production could not exceed 100 bcm/y, according to the
independent Trend News Agency in Azerbaijan.
Turkmenistan's Oil and Gas Minister Bayramgeldy Nedirov, at an international

conference on energy security in Ashgabat sponsored by the Organization for
Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), also indirectly confirmed at the
weekend the agreement with Pakistan, saying, "Preparations are under way for the
imminent signing of an agreement on the sale and purchase of natural gas."
Reuters quoted Nedirov as adding, "There are no doubts that this [TAPI] project will
be realized."
The deal will have a lifespan of 30 years and require 1 trillion cubic meters of
Turkmenistan's natural gas, according to Nedirov. President Gurbanguly
Berdimuhamedow said last year that this gas would come from the South Yolotan
field. The most recent iteration of the British firm Gaffney Kline's audit of South
Yolotan's reserves increased the original estimate to a range of 13.1 to 21.2 trillion
cubic meters. The pipeline is planned for a length of 1,700 kilometers, running to
Herat in Pakistan, then along (perhaps underground) the Herat-Kandahar highway,
passing through Quetta and Multan to the Indian border town of Fazilka.
There is no announced agreement between Afghanistan and Turkmenistan over the

gas price, although the implicit calculation of transit costs in the Pakistani deal
suggests that a figure has been estimated. That some agreement may appear on
the horizon is suggested by the modest steps that Turkmenistan has been taking to
promote economic development, and thus security, in Afghanistan.
Earlier this year, the two countries agreed to build a 120-kilometer railway line
between Ashgabat and Kabul, with Turkmenistan constructing 85 kilometers
internally from the Atamyrat district (Lebap province) to the border town of
Ymamnazar, and the Afghan extension running to Akina also to be planned and
constructed by the Turkmenistan side, in accordance with Kabul's suggestion. A
660
Thu
southward extension to the Afghan town of Andkhoy (Faryab province) would
subsequently be added. Turkmenistan has also declared its intention is increase
electricity exports to Afghanistan. Earlier this year, Berdimuhamedow authorized
construction of a new supply line to quintuple this level to 300 megawatts per year.
At the OSCE-sponsored conference in Ashgabat, another Turkmen official speaking

anonymously told Reuters that Berdimuhamedow would sign an agreement to
increase the amount of natural gas being supplied to China. The government in
Ashgabat has said that it expects to export 17 bcm to Beijing this year, and possibly
as much as 20 bcm next year. Total exports to China could eventually ramp up to
as much as 60 bcm/y.
Berdimuhamedow himself took the opportunity of the conference to underline his

foreign ministry's rejection last week of Russia's assertion of veto power over the
Trans-Caspian Gas Pipeline (TCGP) project for natural gas to Azerbaijan and, from
there through Georgia and Turkey, to Europe. Putting his prestige publicly on the
line, he declared to the assembled international diplomats and representatives of
global energy companies, that exports to Europe were "an important vector of our
new energy policy", indeed "the most important characteristic of Turkmenistan's
foreign-policy strategy", while the "trans-Caspian pipeline system is correspondingly
an important project testifying to Turkmenistan's readiness for mutually
advantageous cooperation with all interested parties".
Two days after the conclusion of the conference, the Turkmen government
announced the creation of a bilateral working group on energy cooperation with
Romania. However, the gas that Turkmenistan would export to Azerbaijan for transit
via Turkey (possibly through the proposed Nabucco pipeline) to Europe would not
go through Romania. Turkmenistan is several thousand kilometers from Romania
as the crow flies, across the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea basins.
The creation of this working group can therefore only mean that the White Stream
project is now an active possibility on Ashgabat's radar. This project, the consortium
for which did not put in a bid for Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz Two gas, proposes a
subsequent pipeline for additional gas from Turkmenistan across the South
Caucasus and under the Black Sea from Georgia to Romania.

All Day Pakistan to seek Iran gas for key port’s industries -- The Express Tribune
“Pakistan to seek Iran gas for key port’s industries”
Islamabad – Pakistan has decided to seek gas to meet requirements of industrial

estates at Gwadar Port in southwestern Balochistan province, a report said
Tuesday.
Pakistan will approach Iran for additional supplies of 250 million cubic feet of gas
per day (mmcfd) for the port, The Express Tribune reported.
The government will negotiate with Iran to extend gas import volume from the
existing 750 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) to one billion cubic feet per day
(bcfd) to meet the requirements of Balochistan at Gwadar Port for industrial estates.
Secretary of Petroleum Ijaz Chaudhry said that Iran has already expressed its
desire to provide 250 mmcfd of additional gas that could be used for industrial
estates at Gwadar Port. He maintained that the Ministry of Petroleum had already
moved a summary to the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet
in 2010 seeking approval for import of this enhanced volume.
Balochistan Chief Minister Nawab Mohammad Aslam Raisani reiterated its demand
of 250 mmcfd gas allocation out of supplies under Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline
project to meet requirements of industrial estates at Gwadar in a meeting held with
Secretary of Petroleum and Natural Resources Muhammad Ejaz Chaudhry in
Islamabad on Monday.
Sources said that Raisani said that Balochistan required 250 mmcfd gas for
industrial estates at Gwadar Port and therefore gas should be allocated under the
IP gas pipeline project.
An energy expert said that the government should meet Balochistan's demand to
allocate gas under the IP pipeline project that would boost economic activities in
Gwader.

All Day Turkmen gas reserves brighten hope for Pakistan -- Business Observer
Islamabad—As Pakistan moved ahead with sealing a gas-import accord with
Turkmenistan the Turkmen Deputy Prime Minister Baimurad Khodzhamu-
khamedov reported that the estimated Turkmen oil and gas reserves have
increased by more than 1.5-fold since 2006.
During Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov’s recent visit to Islamabad

the two states signed a number of accords including that of oil and gas sales and
purchase. Experts have appreciated Pakistani move as “well-timed”.
Pakistan and Turkmenistan reached an accord on November 13, 2011 for delivery
of 1.3 billion cubic feet a day of Turkmen gas at 69 per cent of crude oil parity price
under the $7.6 billion Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (Tapi) pipeline
project.
Pakistan and Turkmenistan agreed to formally sign a sales and purchase

agreement in Ashkabad on Nov 15. The pipeline is expected to bring gas to
Pakistan by December 2016, depending on a credible security apparatus in
Afghanistan where it will provide 500mmcfd of gas.
It wasreported that Turkmenistan also offered to increase gas throughput to about

two billion cubic feet a day if the two sides agreed on transporting about 700 million
cubic feet a day (mmcfd) to Gwadar port for eventual sale or export as liquefied
natural gas (LNG).
According to reports reaching here total hydrocarbon reserves in Turkmen as of

October 1, 2011 measured 72.21 billion tonnes, compared to 45.44 billion tonnes
on January 1, 2006. The latest figures were compiled by Turkmen officials after
reviewed data from the British firm Gaffney, Cline & Associates.
British auditing firm Gaffney, Cline & Associates (GCA) has recently reported that
Turkmenistan might have the world’s second largest natural-gas field.
GCA early this year submitted a revised audit in mid-June to Turkmen President
Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov saying that South Yolotan is second only to Qatar’s
South Pars field.
President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov has stressed that “development of the oil

and gas industry was one of the priorities of the ongoing reform in all spheres of the
national economy.” He also noted that “natural gas reserves in Turkmen fields
amount to 26 trillion 200 billion cubic meters.”
Turkmenistan plans to build third oil refinery in western part of the country.

All Day Conference to strengthen regional economic connectivity -- Pakistan
Today
ISLAMABAD - Ministers from 10 countries spanning the Caucuses, and Central,
East and South Asia will gather to mark a decade of achievement, including $17
billion of investments in energy, trade and transportation under Central Asia
Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Programme. Finance minister Dr Abdul
Hafeez Shaikh is likely to lead Pakistan in CAREC 10th Ministerial Conference at
Baku, Azerbaijan, starting from 22nd November till 24th November. It’s the first time
that Pakistan is attending CAREC ministerial conference as a full member country.
Established in 2001, CAREC brings together Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, People’s
Republic of China (PRC), Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Pakistan,
Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. It promotes implementation of regional
projects in energy, transport, and trade facilitation from northern PRC to Caucasus
and Europe, and from Kazakhstan to warm water ports of Karachi, Gwadar and
beyond.
CAREC partnership accounts for more than 120 projects to date, including six
extensive transport corridors and energy networks that are beginning to improve
lives and livelihoods across the region.
Asian Development Bank (ADB) has contributed $5.5 billion to total CAREC
investment since 2001. Ring road, rail and electricity projects in Afghanistan, and
East-West Corridor in Azerbaijan are flagship programmes that embody CAREC.
About 4,000 km of road and 2,250 km of railway lines have been built or upgraded,
opening up corridors of trade and opportunity. Streamlined customs procedures are
moving people and their businesses across borders faster and at less cost.
Electricity transmission lines and upgraded power plants are beginning to boost vital
energy trade in the region that will bring prosperity and security.
Ministerial conference will also launch CAREC 2020 as the new roadmap for the
next 10 years. This will provide a blueprint to help countries expand trade, spur
competitiveness in broader global economy, and reposition Central Asia as pivot of
regional trade. Six multilateral institutions support work of CAREC that includes
ADB, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, International Monetary
Fund (IMF), Islamic Development Bank (IDB), United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP), and World Bank. ADB has served as CAREC Secretariat
since 2001.

All Day Oman has given a grant of $17 million to the Balochistan government for
building an airport of international standard in Gwadar. -- Daily Dawn
Oman has given a grant of $17 million to the Balochistan government for building
an airport of international standard in Gwadar. According to official sources, 43,000
acres of land have been acquired for the airport that will have latest facilities.
The Civil Aviation Authority`s Director General Air Marshal (retd) Khalid Chaudhry
discussed the project with Balochistan Chief Secretary Mir Ahmed Bakhsh Lehri.
The airport will be designed for both passenger and cargo flights.
The sources said the provincial government was taking serious steps to make
Gwadar the winter capital of Balochistan besides making the port functional.
“The chief secretary has issued directives to ensure reopening of a five-star hotel in
the town that was closed a few months ago,” they said, adding that the hotel`s
administration had been asked to take steps in this regard.
The chief secretary and the Chief Minister`s Principal Secretary Hafiz Abdul Basit
have held meetings in Gwadar to increase the pace of the implementation of the
government`s announcement that the town will be the provincial capital from
October to March each year.
About 80 per cent construction work on a district and provincial complex and major
portions of other official buildings have been completed and the government has
asked contractor companies to accelerate the work. The government is also mulling
over holding a session of the Balochistan Assembly in Gwadar and local officials
have been asked to review arrangements in this regard.
The decision by Nawab Aslam Raisani`s government to make Gwadar the winter
capital has increased the importance of the coastal town.
“The move will have a deep impact on the economy and trade of the region and will
also help remove the sense of deprivation among local people,” provincial minister
Mir Hamal Kalamati said.

with Pakistan said Friday, China wanted to intensify amicable and cooperative
relations with Pakistan.“China is firmly committed to deepening friendship and
partnership with neighboring countries. We want to intensify amicable and
cooperative relations with Pakistan and other neighboring countries,” Dai Bingguo
said while addressing a reception hosted in his honour by Prime Minister Syed

besides the Chinese delegation,by federal ministers and members of the
parliament.
“Together, let’s share peace, promote development, pursue cooperation and
achieve win-win results for all”, the Chinese State Councilor said.
Dai Bingguo spoke high of Pakistan-China relations and said “China and Pakistan
are friendly neighbours connected by the same mountains and rivers.”
“Sixty years ago, our two countries established diplomatic relations, an event that
opened a new chapter in our relationship. Since then, the China-Pakistan political
ties have become stronger after being tested by trying times,” he added.
The Chinese State Councilor said, “Our all-round cooperation has drawn our
interests closer. And the friendship between the brotherly Chinese and Pakistani
people have grown stronger still as we have gone through thick and thin together.”
He also quoted late Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai as pointing out that, “The friendly
relations between China and Pakistan is not dictated by expediency; it is rooted in
our mutual need and the interests of Asia-Africa solidarity and world peace. Our
friendship manifests itself not just in ordinary times, but also in critical moments.”
Dai Bingguo said during the past 60 years, China and Pakistan have forged a

our economic and trade cooperation. The Karakorum Highway, Gwadar Port, Taxila
Heavy Mechanical Complex, Chashma Nuclear Power Plant, Jinnah Sports
Stadium and Pakistan-China Friendship Centre: these mega-projects bear
testimony to the lasting China-Pakistan friendship,” he added.
Dai Bingguo, however, mentioned the profound and complex changes taking place
in today’s world and added, “Confronted with the complicated and volatile
international situation, it is all the more important for all-weather strategic partners
like China and Pakistan to handle our own affairs well and maintain stability and
growth, and to deepen and broaden our cooperation.”
“Thus we can secure more favourable conditions for the stability and development
of our own countries and make greater contribution to peace, stability, development

All Day Expanding oil refining infrastructure -- Daily Times
Expanding oil refining infrastructure
Demand for the POL (petroleum, oil, lubricants) products in Pakistan is growing
stronger on a year-on-year basis.
It is projected that the annual demand of POL products would increase to 19 million
tons by the year 2017-18 and over 34 million tons by 2025-26 against the present
consumption of 20 million tons.
Current domestic refining capacity is insufficient to meet present demand of the

POL products.
Today, the country has a total refining capacity to process around 287,000 barrels
per day (bpd) or, equivalent 13 million tons, of crude oil annually.
There are seven oil refineries operating.
Major players in the sector are Pak-Arab Refinery Co Ltd (PARCO) of 100,000 bpd,
National Refinery Ltd of 65,000 bpd, Pakistan Refinery Ltd of 50,000 bpd, Attock
Refinery Ltd of 40,000 bpd and Byco (formerly Bosicar) Pakistan Ltd of 30,000 bpd
output capacity.
The balance annual demand of 7 million tons oil is being met through imports.
Attock Refinery is totally dependent on local crude and gas condensate, whereas
PARCO, which is a joint venture between the governments of Pakistan and the
UAE, processes heavy crude from the UAE only.
Pakistan Refinery and National Refinery also process indigenous crude, blending
with crude oil imported from the Gulf and Saudi Arabian sources.
It was planned for many years to undertake up-gradation and capacity expansion of
the existing refineries and to set up new refinery projects in the private sector.
It was projected to achieve total capacity to 400,000 bpd by 2009, and,

subsequently, 520,000 bpd in 2014.
The plans however could not be implemented as envisaged.
There has been a nominal increase in capacity expansion in the past years but no
new refinery project could come on stream.
On the other hand, capacity utilisation of the existing oil refineries has been
declining in recent years due to a variety of reasons.
At present, the refineries are not even operating at optimal available capacity, as a
result of the circular debt issue.
This situation would result in further widening the gap between demand and oil
supply in coming years, rather there are already signs of the country facing a
severe oil crisis in the short-term.
In a latest development, the industry has revived its plans for modernisation and
capacity expansion aiming to develop capability to produce large quantities of ultra-
clean fuels in line with global trend of stricter quality specifications.
Now, Attock Refinery plans to expand its installed capacity to 53,000 bpd within four
years or so, with an investment of $100 million.
689
Sat
Likewise, Pakistan Refinery plans to install isomerization unit (for improving the
octane value), diesel hydro desulfurization (DHDS) complex and thermal gas oil unit
at a total cost of $250 million.
Another investment of $300 million will be made by National Refinery for further
expansion of its facilities including installation of isomerization and DHDS units.
Bosicar Refinery claims that its throughput has recently increased to 35, 000 bpd,
as a result of revamping and de-bottlenecking of existing refinery, and may further
enhance shortly to 40,000 bpd.
A new refinery by Byco Oil Pakistan Ltd at Mouza Kund in Balochistan is the only
project being undertaken at present.
This new unit of 115,000 bpd capacity to refine crude oil, relocated and currently
under construction at a cost of $430 million is scheduled to commence its
operations by 2012.
The company is also establishing a petrochemical complex, with an initial capacity

of 17,100 bpd to produce aromatics like benzene, toluene and xylenes, for which
plant machinery has already been imported.
The proposed Khalifa Coastal Refinery, of capacity to process 250,000 bpd or 13

million tons of crude oil annually, would be the largest refinery in Pakistan on
completion.
To be installed near Hub in Balochistan, the refinery was approved by the ECC of
the Cabinet in 2007 at a cost of $5 billion, now revised to $6 billion.
The project, a joint venture of PARCO and International Petroleum Investment Co

(IPC) of the UAE, was scheduled for commissioning in 2011.
Sadly, there has been no physical progress on the construction of Khalifa Refinery
as yet, for which the government has provided 1,000 acres of land to the investors
as free-hold lease without charging any rent.
The reported, the project is being revived.
The Trans-Asia Refinery project of 100,000 bpd capacity was planned at Port
Qasim, Karachi with the help of Kuwait and South Korea.
Also, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia had shown interest to set up refineries of 200,000
bpd at Port Qasim and 300,000 bpd capacity at Hub, respectively.
China wanted to construct a refinery and petrochemical complex at Gwadar.
Nonetheless, there has been no progress on any of these projects.
Availability and affordability of energy is essential for sustainable economic growth.
To effectively meet the future oil demands, the existing oil-refining infrastructure is
to be augmented.
For the purpose, the government needs to intervene and expedite implementation
of the planned refinery projects within agreed, time schedules, ensuring a
conducive environment for investment.

Pak-China CSA to boost trade and investment
Staff Report
KARACHI: Pakistan and China have signed Currency Swap Agreement (CSA) for
promoting bilateral trade and enhancing financing of direct investment between the
two countries in their respective local currencies.
State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) Governor Yaseen Anwar Thursday stated this while
explaining CSA with Peoples Bank of China (PBC).
The CSA has been executed for a tenor of three years in respect of local
currencies, Rs 140 billion and 10 billion yuan.
This is the second CSA that SBP has signed, the first one being with the Central
Bank of Turkey on November 1, 2011.
SBP governor said that the principal objective of these swaps is to promote the use
of regional currencies for trade settlement purposes and specifically in the case of
China because the agreement will enhance the role of the yuan in international
trade and investment.
Since the CSA is a bilateral financial transaction, all terms and conditions apply
equally to both countries and the pricing is based on standard market benchmarks,
which are widely acceptable in the respective domestic markets of the two
countries, he added.
Both central banks will have the ability to draw on the swap line any time during the
tenor of the swap.
SBP can purchase yuan from PBC against its local currency, and repurchase its
local currency with the same Chinese currency on a predetermined maturity date
and exchange rate.
Similarly PBC can also purchase rupee against Chinese currency but standard
market pricing will apply on the date of utilisation. Like any swap, the pricing is
linked to interest rates differentials between the two currencies.
Anwar said that the announcement of the CSA between the two central banks will
give a positive signal to the market on the availability of liquidity of the other
country’s currency in the onshore market.
This means, SBP will have the ability to draw on the swap line and provide yuan to
banks in Pakistan. Banks will on-lend this liquidity to importers/exporters involved in
trade denominated in yuan.
At maturity, the importer/exporter will repay the foreign currency to the lending
bank; and the bank will repay to the respective central bank. The trade financing
regulations in foreign currencies are already available in Pakistan for providing
liquidity and facilitating trade. The same concept will also apply in the case of PBC
borrowing rupees for trade or investment in Pakistan, the SBP governor said.
On the maturity date of the letter of credit (LC), the importer will pay off the
overseas supplier by borrowing in yuan. Assuming borrowing is for six months, the
importer will save on the rupee cost and after six months the importer will buy yuan
against rupee and pay off the yuan loan. Availability of onshore yuan financing will
encourage importers to open yuan denominated LCs.
Once the contract is established, the exporter will borrow in yuan, sell yuan against
rupee and utilise rupee for its local operations. On the maturity date of the contract,
the exporter will receive yuan from the overseas buyer and payoff the yuan loan
locally.
691
Fri
Utilisation of rupee in China: Same concept will apply to PBC drawing rupee against
the swap line and lending the same to banks in China. China has significant
investments in various projects in Pakistan and rupee proceeds of the swap can be
channelised to such long-term projects in Pakistan via Chinese banks.
Concurrently with the arrival in Pakistan of the Industrial Commercial Bank of China
(ICBC), the largest bank in China (and the world in terms of capital), the CSA
provides a strong boost towards building offshore investor confidence that will
encourage other investors to capitalise on the economic opportunities in Pakistan,
Anwar concluded.

KARACHI: People’s Republic of China is going to be the largest importer of

Pakistani products in the coming future, as Karakoram Highway (KKH) would be re-
linked with Western China in 2012.
Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP) Chief Executive Tariq Iqbal Puri
said in a meeting with Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI)
members that regional countries should be focused on enhancing Pakistani
exports.
“Regional countries like Afghanistan, China, India, Iran, Russia, Association of

South East Asian Nation (ASEAN) countries and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)
countries are showing interest in Pakistani products,” he highlighted.
He said there is a huge potential and opportunity in China for Pakistani business.
He highlighted the participation of Pakistan in more than 12 exhibitions and four

693
Sun
business forums in China that would be increased to 20 exhibitions in 2012.
Exploring different foreign markets for Pakistani products, he highlighted Russia for
potatoes and cement, Japan for mango, etc.
He said TDAP is making intellectual contribution in promoting Pakistani products to

foreign markets and KCCI should organise workshops and seminars to create
awareness for the unexplored potential in these markets among the business
community.
“Currently the European Union (EU) crisis are hitting Pakistani exports, that is why
the exports are going down and the country is facing uncertainty. Now the markets
should be diversified.”
He said textile sector contributes a huge portion in Pakistani exports but is showing
decline at present due to low cotton prices, so the export of non-textile sector like
Halal food manufacturing, cosmetics and many other products to these countries
might help achieve export target for this year.
He suggested various measures to promote Pakistani products and brands in

overseas markets and emphasised on web portals and video conferencing.
“Contents in the web portal play a significant role in exploring the potential,” he
added.
He also agreed to allocate Pakistan Pavilions to KCCI for several international

exhibitions including TDAP’s WEXNET for woman entrepreneurs scheduled to be
organised in Dubai soon.
KCCI President Mian Abrar Ahmad said the existing exports of Pakistan do not lie
with the country’s export potential due to deteriorating law and order situation and
negative perception of the country in foreign markets.
“Even Saudi Arabia has imposed restrictions on remittance to Pakistan,” he added.
He highlighted Halal food has a big market, even non-Muslim countries take interest
in this sector. Also agriculture, engineering and value-added sector have much
potential.
He said Pakistan has become an aid-dependant country chronically.
Former KCCI president Majyd Aziz highlighted the Turkish consul general
witnessed mineral efficiency in Pakistan but feared in visiting such areas like
Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa due to negative perception of the country.

American Pakistanis keen to facilitate investment
Faryal Najeeb
Tuesday, January 10, 2012
KARACHI: American-Pakistanis are keen to aid Pakistan but challenges are

equally great which puts off both investors and philanthropists, said Awais Khan,
President and CEO of American Pakistan Foundation (APF).
“Even if you are dealing with the private sector, you have to go through government
channels to get all the legal paperwork done, and that’s where you face
suggestions of underhand dealings,” he said.
Khan said that his foundation also had to face a lot of corruption offers and getting
past it to work within the legal parameters had been a huge challenge that they still
continue to face.
APF is currently focusing on dealing with two issues - the energy crisis of Pakistan
and the high unemployment rate, he said while speaking to The News on Monday
at the US Counsel General’s residence.
“High unemployment rate is directly linked to poverty and we are looking to facilitate
vocational training to unemployed people along with facilitating job opportunities
both in Pakistan and abroad,” he said.
Khan was of the opinion that entrepreneurship in Pakistan has high potential and
can really flourish. However, he stated that this can only be possible if the
government is strong of the country, which it is not.
“Four things are pivotal for an entrepreneur,” he said, terming them to be the
availability of cheap capital, sufficient energy supply, a strong government and legal
system and the access to relevant networks and stakeholders.
He said that entrepreneurship is successful in the US due to the above four

reasons, which sorely lack in Pakistan. “Security and image issues of Pakistan are
other challenges that we have to face as facilitators of investment into the country,”
he added. On the matter of energy crisis he said, “We have set a goal to provide
energy to one million individuals by 2015,” adding that lack of sufficient energy was
leading the nation’s industries towards a rapid decline.
Pakistan has an abundance of resources, Khan said. The entire Balochistan can
run on solar energy, while the northern areas can utilise hydroelectricity. The wind
corridor from Karachi to Gwadar alone can generate 50,000 megawatts, he said,
further adding that huge amount of energy can also be generated from biogas.
Green energy may seem costly in the short term, he said, but over the long run it’s
actually much cheaper. The former venture capitalist, who is a strong advocate for
green energy and its innovation and commercialisation, said that banks in Pakistan
need to be convinced to provide leasing or financial deal for energy equipments.
When asked how local individuals/businessmen can also play their part towards
bringing investment into the country similar to the performance of APF, Khan said
that while there are no hard and fast guidelines, institutions here need to work on
capacity building and management teams.
The love for Pakistan is what has motivated Khan to move forward. “I left a very
sound career as a venture capitalist to do this and people question me on my
decision all the time,” he candidly shared.
“It may seem like a drop in the ocean and it can be very challenging too but it’s
worthwhile as it’s for our country,” he said passionately. Speaking about his
foundation, Khan shared that all their funding is from the American private sector

such as banks and corporate firms.
APF has especially played a very active role in providing flood relief and had
received a $700,000 grant from Pepsi this year for its flood relief programme.
In all, they have managed to raise $800,000 so far and directly helped more than
42,000 individuals, which is commendable for an institution which is just two years
old. However, Khan admitted that transparency of funds is always a concern and
often NGOs in Pakistan have a tainted name due to their unaccountability of funds
received.
“We deal only with people who have a strong creditability and due diligence is
always required,” he stated, adding that his foundation does a lot of leg work
personally also. Khan repeatedly stressed on the need for a good government and
honest leadership. “The media should play an important role and urge the people to
choose their leadership wisely as it can make or break a country,” he said.

KARACHI: Korean investors can enter into joint ventures with Pakistan
businessmen in the alternate energy, agriculture and engineering sectors.
Karachi Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) President Mian Abrar Ahmad
while meeting with the Ambassador of Pakistan to South Korea Shaukat Ali
Mukadam said there was a need of building trading blocks of Pakistan with Asian
countries, Central Asian Republics and SAARC countries.
He lamented Pakistan was never allowed economic independence and liberty by
the developed countries which they allowed to Bangladesh, India, Malaysia and
Vietnam in the region. He focused that the regional trade would uplift the economy
of Pakistan to new horizons. Pakistan should not rely on aid and remittances.
He voiced to enhance exports and trade and was of the view the aids received from
USA and Western world were never spent properly to boost the economy and for
the benefit of masses. After establishment of the Gwadar port, Pakistan has been
facing severe unrest by design because the leading economies never liked this
progressive development.
The aim of KCCI is to develop regional trade and he suggested envoys to convince
the Seoul chamber to form Karachi-Seoul Joint Chamber of Commerce and
Industry on the pattern of Pakistan-Afghanistan Joint Chamber, which KCCI formed
last year. He articulated that Pakistan possess great potential to multiply its exports
and $25 billion export alone can be made to USA if allowed.
He expressed discontentment on meagre 7 percent trade among SAARC countries
and asserted to execute Indo-Pak trade via Karachi and Mumbai ports to bring
prosperity and alleviate poverty in the region.
He requested the ambassador to invite business delegation and exhibitors to
participate in the KCCI’s My-Karachi Oasis of Harmony Exhibition being organised
in July 2012.
Ali said, “South Korea sees Pakistan as the most promising country for investment.”
He said owing to a great trade potential the recent trade of $1.36 billion could reach
$2-3 billion if trade potential is effectively utilised.
He admired despite of negative travel advisory, the Koreans do not hesitate to visit
Pakistan. He said Korean premier had also signed multi-billion dollars
memorandum of understanding with Central Asian Republics. He said efforts were
underway to negotiate and sign Pak-Korea Free Trade Agreement. staff report

0.08pc Balochistan solar energy can serve national needs
•APF chief wants risk-averse banks to extend energy finances

•Says corruption, lack of good governance, security keeping investors at bay
KARACHI - Being a patriotic Pakistani one tends to do some good for his
homeland only to find a deep-rooted corruption, lack of good governance,
transparency and well-thought-out policies hindering his way in one way or another.
Awais Khan, the president and chief executive of American Pakistan Foundation
(APF), is one such overseas Pakistani who is striving hard to bring economic
development and social change in, what he believes to be, a resource-rich
Pakistan. Policymakers in Pakistan are desperately wandering here and there to
find a sustainable solution to the fast ingraining energy crises in the country. Khan,
who lives outside Pakistan, has a clearer vision to find a ‘scalable’ remedy to this
economy-crippling menace.
Pakistan, he says, through employing right governance and a well-thought-out
energy policy, could generate thousands of megawatts electricity using its vast but
still untapped sources of solar, hydro, hydroelectric, wind and waste energy
scattered across the country. Khan, a leading American businessman of Pakistani
origin, refers to a study revealing that if tapped only 0.08 per cent of the solar
energy reserves in Balochistan province could cater to energy needs of the entire
country. “The banks could step up to lease and finance the energy equipment,” APF
chief said during a roundtable discussion with a group of journalists here at the
residence of the US Consul General.
Singling out the fast disappearing energy-crises-hit cottage industry, the investment
banker said the country has a potential of generating 43,000MW electricity using
hydro and hydroelectric energy sources available in the country’s northern areas.
Some 50,000MW of wind power could be generated from the coastal corridor
stretching from Karachi to Gwadar, Balochistan. Khan said agri-waste like cow
dung, etc could also be used for energy generation in the country. Lack of funding,
energy policy, security and corruption are major stumbling blocks, APF chief
underlined, for achieving these goals. “There are lots of (financing) vehicles but not
a lot of people know how to access these vehicles,” Khan lamented.
He said multilateral finders like World Bank and International Finance Corporation
(IFC) were present in the country to fund these mega energy projects but,
unfortunately, 99.9 per cent of the local institutions were falling short of meeting the
“broader criterion” set for getting funding from these multinational organisations.
Institutional capacity building, bringing domestic work standards at par with that of
international ones and experienced and skilled managers are the three
prerequisites, Khan said, constituting this broader funding criterion. The risk-averse
banks, he said, could bridge this financial gap through extending more advances to
the private individual and institutional borrowers willing to install the sophisticated
energy generating equipment.
Khan complained about the deeply-ingrained corruption in Pakistan which deters
his organisation, APF, from working on big projects. “To a personal perspective, I
found it (corruption) a frequent occurrence and biggest challenge besides security,”
Khan told the journalists. “To get permission from the government (to undertake a
certain project) a lot of under-the-table things happen,” he elaborated. Attributing
this menace to lack of right system and right people, the American businessman
urged the need for creating political awareness among voters in the forthcoming
general elections. “Tell them that your vote matters so use it in right way,” Khan
urged the journalists.
For making entrepreneurship a success story in Pakistan, the APF CEO suggested
an easy access to cheap capital, good governance, a right legal system and a
business-friendly security climate which he said was lacking in case of Pakistan.
“Pakistan has been suffering from the image issue. And number one concern of
every entrepreneur is whether my people and finances are safe,” he said.
About APF, Khan said the privately-funded organisation had a goal to provide one
million individuals with energy by 2015 under its “rural electrification” plan in areas
the most neglected or where the need was more pressing. He said, having
benefited over 42,000 flood affectees in Pakistan, APF was set up in Dec 2009 to

BEIJING, (SANA): Pakistani Ambassador in Beijing Masood Khan said here

Wednesday that due to close proximity and strong bilateral relations between
Pakistan and China, his country offers immense opportunities to Chinese
enterprises and entrepreneurs, attracting them to increase investment in and trade
with Pakistan.
He said Chinese companies have also found their business operations in Pakistan
productive. We are working for “Win-win partnership.”
The Ambassador was addressing two back to back seminars on Pakistan and
China cultural and commercial cooperation held here at the Pakistan Embassy
today.

Wed
The Ambassador said strong arteries of commerce and culture will feed our unique
friendship and strategic partnership.
He asked the Chinese business community that while formulating their future
investment strategy, they should give priority to setting up projects in Pakistan.
In 2011, which marked the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties,
both the countries celebrated the Year of Friendship, and held a series of activities
in all spheres including exchange of delegations at all levels, signing of agreements
in finance, banking and energy, in addition to holding seminars and forums.
Ambassador Masood Khan said we held the first Pakistan-China ministerial level
Energy Group meeting in Beijing aimed at offsetting the energy crisis in Pakistan,
entered into Currency Swap Arrangement with China, and held many activities in
finance and banking sectors including the setting up of two branches of ICBC, the
world largest bank, in two cities of Pakistan.
He said we have to strengthen and deepen our bonds of friendship. In this

connection negotiations are going on with various other prominent Chinese banks
and financial institutions to open their branches and offices in Pakistan.
The seminar was largely attended by members of the Chinese business and trade
community including Mr. Dai Jie, Director of Asset Supervision and Administration
Commission of the State Council; Mr. Ma Qing, Bureau Officer, China National
Development and Reform Commission; Mr. Sun Xudong, Director of the
International Office of China University of Petroleum; Mr. Luan Yu Tao, Director of
Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and Ms. Yang
Xiao Hui, Representative of Tong Ren Hospital, which had sent a team of Chinese
doctors to treat 500 cataract patients in Pakistan last year.
China-based Pakistani businessmen, representatives of National Bank of Pakistan,

Habib Bank Limited and MCB along with prominent Chinese companies belonging
to pharmaceutical, coal, mobile telephony, hydropower, alternate energy,
petroleum, Mining, Automobile and Banking sectors were present on this occasion.
Ambassador Masood Khan said Pakistan is rich in natural resources including coal,
gas and alternative energy and “our human resource is one of the best in the
world.”
He mentioned that Pakistan offers a very conducive environment for the Chinese
entrepreneurs. Many prominent Chinese entities including China Mobile, Three
Gorges and Haier already have their presence there.
He asked the Chinese traders to visit Pakistan and see the conducive investment
climate in the country for themselves.
This is a win-win situation for traders of both the countries, as we have natural
connectivity, he said, adding that Gwadar port offers the shortest route to China as
compared with other sea routes. An existing road link connects Kashgar with
Gwadar, he said.
The Ambassador said that Pakistan has been passing through one of the toughest
periods of its history in the past ten years. Recently we have faced and survived a
series of crises including fight against terrorism, international financial crisis, spike
in oil prices and food security. He said Pakistan also faced massive floods and
unprecedented displacement in 2010.
The good news for the Pakistani traders is that our exports to China increased by
33 per cent in the first ten months of 2011. The Ambassador expressed the
confidence that 2012 will witness further expansion of bilateral trade as China is a
huge market for the Pakistani traders.
The Seminar was jointly organized by the Embassy of Pakistan, Beijing China Arab
Cultural Center and Yuan Zhi International Exhibition Company.

Earlier, addressing the participants of the Cultural exhibition at Pakistan Embassy
College premises, Ambassador Khan said that increased cultural exchange
between Pakistan and China led to closer people-to-people contact between the
two peoples and promoted better understanding about each other’s culture.
Students of Pakistan Embassy College and various Chinese cultural troupes

entertained the audience on this occasion.
The Ambassador said such cultural activities help to introduce Pakistani culture to
the Chinese people as well as acquainting students of the Pakistan Embassy
College with the rich Chinese culture. He mentioned that in 2011, the Embassy of
Pakistan, had organized or took part in 15 cultural events in major Chinese cities
including Beijing, Xian, Yinchuan, Wuhan and Guangzhou.
He especially recognized the Tong Ren Hospital for carrying out cataract surgeries
and providing vision to 500 patients in Pakistan, last year.
He said that another Chinese medical team will visit Pakistan this year for carrying
out additional 500 cataract surgeries.
Premier Wen Jiabao, during his visit to Pakistan in December 2010, announced one
thousand free cataract surgeries for Pakistani people suffering from this eye
disease. Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani witnessed these cataract surgeries
in PIMS Islamabad last month.

Pakistani fruits have huge potential in Central Asian markets
The five Central Asian Republics (CAR)--Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan,

Tajikistan and Uzbekistan - with a combined gross domestic product of $207 billion
and a population of 66 million, offer a sizeable market for Pakistan's goods,
services and investment.
However, much of the potential for the economic co-operation with the region has
remained untapped, with Afghanistan's war acting as a major barrier, according to
the CEO of Harvest Trading, Ahmad Jawad.
Talking to Business Recorder he said that things, it seemed, appeared to be

changing as per the recent amendments in the Pakistan-Afghan transit trade
agreement.
Traditionally, Pakistan has been routing its exports to CAR through Afghanistan,
occasionally using air transport.
"This is really a big market for Pakistani fruits.
But we need a clear strategy, a roadmap, and immediate concrete steps to build
and expand trade ties with these countries in order to get good push for survival of
our horticulture products in future," he said.
Pakistan can get into Central Asian markets from three sides, Jawad said, and
identified that "we can take Afghanistan, Iran and China routes to reach out to these
markets".
He said that Pakistan's bilateral trade with CAR would rise immediately if Chinese
would start using Gwadar port for trading with Central Asian States "and we use our
road links with China to reach out to these countries".
Pakistan could also use the Iranian free trade zone of Chabahar to reach Central
Asia while facilitating Iran-Central Asian business through Gwadar he added.
Ever since CAR emerged as independent states after breaking away from the
USSR in early 1990s, Pakistan has done little to promote trade with them, except
for signing some agreements.
"We can export a large number of items to Central Asian countries;" he claimed.
Pakistan has already been exporting cereals, frozen fish, fruits and vegetables,
medicines, medical/dental/surgical instruments, leather and leather products,
carpets, textile fabrics, knitted garments, ceramics/kitchen wear and bathroom
fittings, furniture and confectionery, to Central Asian States and it has been
importing cotton and agricultural machinery from there.
In 2010, the CAR combined imports stood above $50 million.
"Even if we manage to get one percent of this business, our export earnings will
increase by half a billion dollars," Jawad said.
He regretted that "we are already late in tapping trade potential of Central Asian
countries.
China is fast becoming the largest trading partner of these states, and India and
Iran are increasing their shares gradually".
He emphasised that moves to expand trade volumes with Central Asian states must
be supplemented by more frequent people-to-people contacts, trade shows and

Ali Zardari to Azerbaijan which is expected shortly.
This was stated by the Ambassador of Republic of Azerbaijan Dashgin Shikarov

while talking to President Karachi Chamber of Commerce & Industry (KCCI) Mian
Abrar Ahmad.
"Azerbaijan has strict visa regime for countries worldwide however for the citizens
of Pakistan and Turkey, our visa policy is open", he added.
According to KCCI here Thursday, Shikarov said that Chamber's recommendations

will be treated as adequate requirement for issuance of business visas and invited
Mian Abrar to take a business delegation to Azerbaijan for promoting bilateral trade
and investment.
He informed about the possibility of investment in the oil and gas exploration sector
and electricity export to Pakistan. He also pointed out the potential of joint ventures
in pharmaceutical and manufacturing of surgical goods and sought KCCI's
proposals on bilateral trade prospects.
Pakistan, he said, can export its value-added agricultural products like mangoes,
dates, fruits, sports and surgical goods to Azerbiajan. "Pakistan's basmati rice has a
huge demand in Azerbaijan, he added.
He said that Azerbaijan has a liberal investment policy and Pakistani can invest
there. He pointed out that Azerbaijan has a strong industrial base and textile
industry.
KCCI president invited Azerbaijani businessmen to invest in the oil and gas
exploration sector in Pakistan and explore trade possibilities in agricultural value-
added products.
Azerbaijan, by taking advantage of geo-strategic locations of Pakistan, can export

their consignments through Gwadar and other ports of Karachi to SAARC, ASEAN
and GCC countries, said KCCI president while exchanging his views.
Mian Abrar noted that economic relations between Central Asian Republics and
SAARC countries will be a win-win situation and bring economic revolution in the
region. He said KCCI was committed to bridge together the business communities
of regional countries with a vision to establish joint chambers.
He also requested the Ambassador to invite exhibitors to participate in My-Karachi

Gwadar infrastructure development project: PC-1 submitted to Planning

ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Industries has submitted to Planning Commission for

approval the PC-1 for Infrastructure Development Phase-1 of Gwadar Industrial
Estate project, costing Rs 1.53 billion.
According to PC-1 of the project available with Business Recorder, under new
economic growth framework 2012-13, the development of Gwadar Industrial Estate
fits very well with objective to build the new industrial estate in mega port city which
provide profitable business opportunities to local as well as international
entrepreneurs, to develop manufacturing and service industries with strong
emphasis on technology, innovation and capability, to facilitate business
collaboration with foreign parties and to develop appropriate job opportunities in the
region.
The impact of this industrial estate is extremely high in manufacturing sector,

contributing to 7 percent of GDP and generating 25 percent of exports. Total area
for the project is 3000 acres, to be developed in three phases, of 1000 acres each.
The first phase of 1000 acres has been comprehensively planned and infrastructure
development is underway. Gwadar Industrial Estate is linked with all important
transport routes and highways, providing significant access to its location.
The major areas of business would be import and export construction,

transportation, shipping, clearing and forwarding, warehousing, building material,
value added-processing, re-packing, and transshipping, local at the entrance of the
Persian Gulf and about 400 km from a major medium of oil supplies.Plots ranging
from 1 acre to 5 acres have been planned for various industrial and commercial
purposes. Besides, a small workers colony is also included. A comprehensive
network of infrastructure services has been planned.
The development of infrastructure is the top priority for successful development and
operation of OIE, the most basic requirements being water supply, electrification
and sewerage system. The final requirements will, however, be in the range of
100-120 megawatts. In this regard, a grid station had been finalised in consultation
with Qesco. Total cost of the grid station, which has since been completed, has
been funded by the federal government.
Water being the scarce commodity in Balochistan as a whole and in Gwadar in

particular needs the highest priority. The demands for the potable water for the
industrial estate is difficult to assess as the demand largely depends on the type of
industries to be installed, whereas, chemical and textile industries may have a large
water demand.It is proposed to install a sea-water desalination plant for GIE with a
capacity of 2million gallons per day (mgd). The cost of the project is to be equally
shared between Federal Government and the provincial Government.
As the establishment of the 2 million gallons per day desalination plant will take
some time while 0.2 MGD desalination plant is under construction through the
project's own sources. The design of remaining internal roads, water supply and
sewerage has been prepared and the work will be awarded in phases as per the
availability of the funds.

Govt releases Rs 15.90bn under PSDP in just 21 days
By Ijaz Kakakhel
ISLAMABAD: The government has released Rs 15.90 billion under the Public
Sector Development Programme (PSDP) 2011-12 from Dec 16, 2011 to Jan 6,
2012 (21 days), sources told Daily Times here on Saturday.
With this addition, total amount of PSDP 2011-12 releases have reached Rs 94.3
billion by January 6, 2012 from the earlier Rs 78.4 billion by December 16, 2011.
Sources in the Ministry of Finance told Daily Times that the government had
decided to spend about 40 percent of the local component of PSDP by Dec 31,
2011 and the remaining 60 percent in the last six months of the current fiscal year.
However, by January 6, 2012, the government’s releases reached Rs 94.3 billion,
which makes 43 percent releases, showing more releases than the proposed
criteria of releases. Such higher releases are a good sign for the ongoing
developmental schemes, the cost of which always rises due to delay in fund
releases. Sources said that in the democratic government, the public
representatives demanded more funds for developmental projects, which also
became a cause of more release of funds by the government.
Out of the total releases under developmental budget of Rs 94.3 billion, Rs 52

billion are for infrastructure sector, Rs 41.5 billion for social sector and Rs 0.790
billion for others sectors. The whole allocation was made for 1,271 developmental
national importance projects.
Total size of the PSDP 2011-12 is Rs 290 billion, including Rs 36.5 billion as foreign
exchange component (FEC) and Rs 33 billion as Special Programme. The releases
against Special Programmes are being made by the Cabinet Division/Finance
Division. The foreign aid disbursement amount is received in the Economic Affairs
Division. The Rs 94.3 billion releases are exclusive of foreign aid disbursement.
Therefore, above releases are against Rs 220.5 billion (Rs 290 billion, Rs 36.5
billion and Rs 33 billion). The Planning and Development Division will release funds
against this amount (Rs 220.5 billion).

Pak envisions $11b Chinese investment in energy sector
Beijing—Ambassador to China Masood Khan has said that Pakistan envisions a

Chinese investment of more than US $ 11 billion in the energy sector during the
next five years. The Ambassador expressed these views in his introductory remarks
at a Road Shows held here for the management, operation, maintenance and
rehabilitations of the nine public sector thermal power complexes through private
sector Operation and Maintenance contractors by Pakistan’s Private Infrastructure
Board (PPIB).
He said that a major part of Pak-China economic cooperation is focused on energy

development. He pointed out that PPIB is a prestigious organization. Since 1994,
under its aegis, the energy generation capacity of the private sector has increased
to more than 8000 megawatts. PPIB have even more ambitious plans for the future
and expects to add an additional 8000 megawatts in the next 5-6 years.
The Government of Pakistan has now asked PPIB to outsource management,

operation, maintenance (O&M) and up gradation of nine public sector thermal
power plants, with an installed capacity of around 4500 megawatts, to the private
sector. These plants are currently producing only 1400 to 2000 megawatts of
electricity.
Chinese enterprises have undertaken numerous projects in Pakistan in

hydropower, thermal, nuclear and alternate energy sectors, he said adding The 5-
year development programme in particular encompasses the whole spectrum of
economic cooperation but lays special emphasis on energy cooperation.
The Mangla dam raising, Kohala dam, Neelum Jhelum dam, the Nandipur and the
Chichokimalian Thermal power projects are some of the important projects being
undertaken by Chinese enterprises in Pakistan. A number of big hydro, coal and
alternate energy worth billions of dollars are in the pipeline, he noted. Last year, our
top leadership decided to set up a Pakistan China Joint Energy Working Group
(JEWG). The Group’s first session held in August this year has indentified a vast
array of coal, hydro, thermal, and alternate energy projects. This Ministerial level
working group will ensure that all projects undertaken between Pakistan and China
have the full support of our governments.
He said that most economic analysts now believe that a major portion of future
global growth is going to take place in developing countries, particularly in Asia. In
Pakistan, despite the adverse international economic situation due to weak demand
in Europe and the recent financial crisis, the economy remains essentially robust
with high demand for consumer goods and energy. During recent years, Khan said
that in tandem with our strong political and strategic ties, economic cooperation with
China has grown substantially. Last year our overall bilateral trade with China grew
by 28 % and

Preserving Gwadar beaches
ANYONE desiring warm sun, sparkling sand, balmy breeze and clear blue waters
may not find anything better than Gwadar`s golden beaches.
Visitors to this largely unadulterated landscape are awestruck with its pristine
beauty and the natural grandeur that surrounds the spectacle of Balochistan`s
desert merging with the Arabian Sea`s greenish-blue water.
Even as it is fast emerging as the future hub of communication, linking Central Asia
with warm waters, Gwadar bears tremendous potential for tourism, offering
opportunities for water sports, swimming, fishing or even plain sea gazing.
As one looks at the potential oftourism for Gwadar`s beaches, there emerges a
pressing need for maintaining a clean waterfront which can attract tourists.
Beaches are unspoiled as of now, there are some trash bins installed at some most
scenic of the spots but the clutter left by the limited tourists needs to be looked
after. Visitors are not aware of how to conduct themselves with restraint and
discipline. Commercial ventures pay little attention to the impact of careless
disposal of garbage on the ecology of Gwadar.
Unless we involve the public, the contamination and littering of beaches is but a fait
accompli.During a recent visit it was heartening to find young students and teachers
from the local Bahria Model School, duly armed with rakes and other implements,
combing the water front and picking up, with great enthusiasm, the stray garbage
strewn on the beautiful beaches.
Nothing could have been more educative and inspiring than seeing these
youngsters setting an example for their elders by wholeheartedly involving
themselves in preserving the great natural treasure that nature has bestowed upon
our beautiful country.

Exports register 23pc growth as Pak-China trade reaches $10.6 billion
BEIJING - In 2011, Pakistan-China bilateral trade registered an overall growth of

22 per cent by reaching the mark of $10.6 billion. Pakistan-China trade in 2010 was
$8.7 billion.
In 2011, Pakistani exports of US $ 2.12 billion to Chinese market increased by 23%;

whereas imports from China saw growth at 22%. Masood Khan, Pakistan’s
Ambassador to China, welcomed the steady increase in the volume of bilateral
trade, and especially in Pakistani exports, in the past four years.
“If we have more exportable surplus, the vast Chinese market will be able to absorb
our commodities and services. I have no doubt about that”, Ambassador Masood
Khan said, adding that the appetite for Pakistani products was increasing.
Pakistan and China have resolved to increase their trade to $15 billion in the next
two to three years.
“We are on track and we may achieve our target sooner than we had planned but
there is no room for complacency. We have to work harder and go beyond the mark
of $15 billion and then double it”, the Pakistani Ambassador said.
Pakistan’s exports to China in 2008 were 1.0 billion. By the end of 2011, the exports
had more than doubled to $2.12 billion. Since 2008, Pakistan’s export to China has
seen an increase of 100%. Pakistan and China have signed Free Trade
Agreements on goods, services and investment. In the past three years, FTC met
twice to boost Pakistan-China trade.
Ambassador Masood Khan said that all departments and entities of the
Government of Pakistan, including Ministry of Commerce, Trade Development
Authority and Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industries, are making
concerted efforts to enhance the volume of Pakistani exports to China and improve
their quality. “For us too in the Embassy and in four Consulates, trade has top
priority”; he said. In 2011, the Embassy held more than 10 trade seminars, including
three major roadshows for the Government of Punjab, Government of Sindh and
Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB).
“The real challenge is to manage value addition of Pakistani goods and invest in
skill development. Such measures would result in exponential growth of Pakistani
exports in Chinese markets”, he said.
The Pakistani Envoy said that China was fully conscious of the trade deficit
between Pakistan and China and was working with Pakistani authorities to take
measures to increase Pakistani exports to China to bring down the deficit. It is
inviting leading Pakistani traders and trading houses to participate in China’s
international and regional expos and exhibitions.
Last year, Pakistani traders participated in trade fairs in Urumqi, Kashgar, Kunming,
Chengdu, Canton, and Xiamen. Pakistani traders have been especially focusing on
textiles, leather products, precious stones, and handicrafts. “Pakistani trader is now
looking eastward towards China with greater interest. This trend is growing”, the
Ambassador said. For a more rapid development in our trade and exports, we need
a broader, bolder and long-term perspective, better quality of goods and services,
diversification of export products, and aggressive marketing in China, Ambassador
Masood Khan said. The Ambassador added that strong strategic ties between
Pakistan and China, good economic instruments, an elaborate architecture for
economic cooperation provide the most salutary environment for growth of
Pakistan-China trade in the coming years.
The two sides are now working on visa facilitation. Pakistan has also requested
assistance from China in vocational and technical education in the areas of value
720
Wed
added textiles, gems and jewellery, ceramics, surgical instruments, leather and light
engineering. China has agreed to the proposal and asked Pakistan to identify
training needs in these areas.
In the years to come, entry points of agricultural produce from Pakistan would also
be increased.
China and Pakistan have been holding seminars and workshops to highlight trade
and investment opportunities, especially in Pakistan.
Last year, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) opened branches in
Islamabad and Karachi.
In December 2011, the central banks of China and Pakistan agreed to a currency
swap arrangement that would enable traders on both sides to use Pakistani Rupee
and Chinese Renminbi for transactions and settlements. These two measures are
expected to stimulate further growth in Pakistan-China trade.
In 2011, the biggest increase in Pakistani exports to China has been in cotton yarn,
plastic scrap, leather goods, fish products, medical and surgical instruments,
chemical products, and food stuffs.
Pakistan traditionally exports to China cotton yarn and fabrics, synthetic yarn and
fabrics, garments, home textiles, chromium and other ores, fish and fish products,
From China, Pakistan imports polyester and silk fabrics, polyester staple fabrics,

KARACHI: The Gwadar Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) has urged the
federal government to divert the Afghan Transit Trade (ATT) cargo handling to
Gwadar port on permanent basis and initiate ferry service for intending pilgrims to
Iran. GCCI President Mir Naveed Kalmati at a news briefing here on Tuesday said
that the only way to counter insurgency in Balochistan was to provide jobs to the
youth and create economic activity of permanent nature.
He further demanded that trade with Iran should also be allowed, which will not only
encourage two-way trade through official channels but also discourage smuggling
which is causing huge revenue losses.
He said the federal government should have diverted all cargo meant for allied
forces in Afghanistan to Gwadar port from the day one as this would have not only
helped to make the port operational but western nations’ assistance for developing
road network should have also been sought.
“If a ferry service is initiated from Gwadar port for intending pilgrims to holy places
in Iran it will not only reduce travelling cost but also the distance because within two
hours pilgrims will reach Chabahar port in Iran,” Kalamti explained.
He said annually around 0.4 to 0.5 million pilgrims go to Iran from Pakistan and this
721
Wed
would help generate permanent nature of commercial activity in Gwadar in
particular and district Makran as a whole.
He referred to recent imports of around 722,000 tons of urea by the government

and was handled at the Gwadar port. In total, he said 18 ships loaded with urea
were handled in a record period of 40 days without paying a single penny towards
demurrage. Never in the past huge quantum of any bulk commodity had been
handled without paying millions in
demurrage because ships had to wait for weeks at outer anchorage for berthing
turn.
Mr Kalmati said urea handling activity at Gwadar port created diverse economic
activities starting from providing clearing and shipping services to unloading,
trucking, transportation and other allied services to the workforce engaged in entire
operation and movement of urea.
In short, he said many locals got involved in various trades and services because
on an average 19,100 tons urea were daily unloaded from ships and around 15,000
to 16,000 tons were transported from the port area to Karachi through the Coastal
Highway.
He said that it was highly encouraging that around 35 per cent of transport involved
in urea haulage was owned by locals and remaining 65 per cent by people from
other provinces.
Since the port had been creating job opportunities the law and order situation in the
district Makran was far better than other districts of the province.

Zardari for joint Pak-China strategy to deal world economy
Islamabad: President Asif Ali Zardari underlined the need for a joint strategy by
Pakistan and China to deal with the world economy together and act in accordance
with the new global demands.
With the new redevelopments in the world, Pakistan and China need to find new
comfort zone for further collaboration in all dimensions, Zardari said in an interview
with China’s People’s Daily Online.
He termed growth of China as emergence of a new Japan, the largest economy in

the world and added that all friends of China would be part of that rise.
He said Pakistan and China have strong bonds of friendship and mentioned that
both the countries are the home to the old civilization of Buddhism.
Zardari said Pakistan established diplomatic relations with China at a time when the
latter was not open in relations with the outside world.
He said the theory of looking towards the East owed to the founder of Pakistan
People’s Party and the former Prime Minister of Pakistan Shaheed Zulfikar Ali
Bhutto. The President said he felt that there was room for more interaction with
China. He said he had been visiting China since 1988, even before assuming the
office of President of Pakistan. He mentioned that Chinese language had been
introduced as an optional subject in schools in Sindh province.

All Day Pak-China trade
Pak-China trade
The news that last year Pak-China trade grew by 22 percent crossing the $10 billion
landmark bears proof to the ever growing friendly ties between the two countries.
Pakistani exports during the previous year were close to $2.12 billion, registering a
rate of growth of 23 percent which also shows the realisation on China’s part to
reduce the mutual trade deficit. This also indicates the success of the bilateral free
trade agreement.
The main concern of our industrialists and businessmen was that while Chinese
imports were increasing, our own products were not finding their way into the
Chinese market with the same speed. The way how Chinese electronics flooded
the local market to the detriment of domestic producers is a case in point. However,
it is also necessary that our exports first come up to the standard required by an
average Chinese consumer. This would be our litmus test, if we are able to make
heavy investment within our own industrial sector and set certain rules to check the
quality of products from deteriorating. The industries including leather, marble and
textile should be upgraded. Pakistan’s Ambassador to China Masood Khan rightly
said that if we had more products to sell, the huge Chinese market would be the
right destination for them. It is also heartening to note that the Ambassador stated
that several ministries of the government were busy in increasing Pakistani exports
and special attention was being paid to improve the product quality. This is quite
important because unless the products are of good quality, they would not be able
to effectively find a niche in the Chinese market and generate the much needed
capital for our economy. Himself a businessman, President Zardari seems fully
conversant with the benefits of trade with the time-tested friend. One can only
second his statement that in future China is going to become the largest economy
in the world and that Pakistan will be a ‘force-multiplier’ in its emergence.
At the same time, keeping in view the pace of the growth in bilateral trade and
reduction in trade deficit, there is little doubt that the target of $15 billion set for
2015 will be easily achieved. The increase in trade would broaden the base of our
industry as well as economy. Concurrently, it would create more jobs in the
industrial sector, which is suffering from power cuts and deteriorating law and order.

Under the PTA, Indonesia has agreed to offer market access to Pakistan on 216
tariff lines at preferential rate.
Pakistan’s offer list to Indonesia under the agreement includes a total of 287 tariff
lines for market access at preferential tariff.
According to Indonesian statistics, trade between Indonesia and Pakistan in 2010

amounted to $787.4 million, with a declining trend of 2.33 percent for the past five

BEIJING, Feb 8 (APP): Ambassador Masood Khan has said that the Chinese
leadership perceives any threat to Pakistan as a threat to China and fully supports
us as a true friend.
He, however, reminded that the primary responsibility of defending Pakistan

sovereignty is our own.
There is absolute trust between Pakistan and China which is a precious commodity.
Pakistan's independence and sovereignty is sacred to the people of Pakistan and
we have to defend it ourselves, said Ambassador Khan in a recent interview.
Pak-China friendship is of fundamental significance for ensuring peace and stability

in the region, he said, adding that there is consensus between the two countries to
make collective efforts for regional peace.
He believe the collective efforts of Pakistan and China act as a balancing factor for
regional stability, he added.
China, Ambassador Khan said, has emphasized time and again upon the
international community to recognize the contribution and sacrifices of Pakistan in
the war against terror. China has also asked the world to assist Pakistan and refrain
from creating troubles for the country.
He maintained that China has always assisted in improving Pakistan's economy. It

has always helped in capacity building of our personnel and strengthening the
defence of Pakistan.
Both the countries are strategic partners and know how to endure their partnership
over a long period of time, he added.
Pakistan has always stood shoulder to shoulder with China on all issues including
Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang. Similar has been the position of China, Khan noted.

Pakistan considering leasing Gilgit-Baltistan to China for 50 years
Washington: Seeking to fortify its strategic ties with China amid strains in relations
with US, Pakistan is considering a proposal to lease the disputed Gilgit-Baltistan
region to Beijing for 50 years, an eminent US-based think tank has claimed, citing
local media.
The Pakistani move is aimed at cementing its all-weather relations with China amid
the irreparable rupture in US-Pak ties over the past year, said Middle East Media
Research Institute in a report released yesterday, which was based on news
reports in this regard in local Urdu newspapers. The decision to launch the
Pakistan-China Strategic Programme for Gilgit-Baltistan was probably taken during
army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani’s visit to China in January 2012, it said.
A report, titled “Pakistan’s Deteriorating Situation, Strained Relations with America:

Deliberation on Leasing Gilgit Baltistan to China for 50 years,” which was published
in the Urdu daily ‘Roznama Bang-e-Sahar’, had said: “In the backdrop of the
deteriorating situation in Pakistan and strained relations with America, deliberations
have begun (on a proposal) to hand over Gilgit-Baltistan to China on a 50-year
lease.”
“A Chinese think tank has also given the green light for this move,” said the Urdu
daily, which was distributed in Gilgit Baltistan on December 13, 2011, less than
three weeks after the November 26, 2011 NATO raid on a Pakistani border post
that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers, according to the US think tank, which is headed by
a former FBI official.
The Urdu daily said the think tanks of China and Pakistan have begun discussions
to hand over Gilgit-Baltistan region to the control of China on lease. “In the first
stage of this plan, China will formulate a strategy for development projects and in
the name of working on them will gradually take over the control of this region. In
the next stage, China will take over Gilgit-Baltistan under its total control for 50
years and deploy its troops there,” it said.
The Roznama Bang-e-Sahar report acquires importance in view of the five-day visit
of China by Pakistan army chief General Ashfaq Kayani on January 4-8, 2012, the
US think tank said. During a meeting with Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao in
Beijing, General Kayani had said that development of ChinaPakistan strategic
partnership is the “cornerstone of the two countries’ policies”.
In his remarks, the Chinese Premier had said that “the Chinese government and the
PLA (People’s Liberation Army) would continue to strengthen defence cooperation
between the two countries and more frequent military-to-military exchanges”.
Based on news reports published in the local Urdu press, the Washington-based
think tank said that Pakistani and Chinese militaries are moving in the direction of a
joint military management of Gilgit Baltistan. The two militaries will cooperate under
a specific plan designated by Pakistan as the Pak-China Strategic Programme for
Gilgit Baltistan, it said.
As part of this plan, officials from Pakistan’s Northern Light Infantry (NLI) and
People’s Liberation Army (PLA) of China would “undergo joint trainings and
exchange of expertise”. According to a Pakistani newspaper, the Pak-China
Strategic Programme for Gilgit-Baltistan will come into force in June 2012, the think
tank said.

Pak-China Trade to reach $10b:Zardari
Beijing—President Asif Ali Zardari has said Pakistani and Chinese governments of
both countries are determined to increase their bilateral trade by more than 10
billion US dollars.
He stressed the need for Pakistan and China to deal with the world economy
together and act in accordance with the new global demands.
In an interview with China’s Peoples Daily Online, the President said as the world is
settling in new situation, Pakistan and China need to find new comfort zone for
further collaboration in all dimensions.
President Zardari termed growth of China as emergence of a new Japan, the

largest economy in the world and added that all friends of China would be part of
that rise. He said Pakistan and China have strong bonds of friendship and
mentioned that both the countries are the home to the old civilization of Buddhism.
Zardari said Pakistan established diplomatic relations with China at a time when the
latter was not open in relations with the outside world. He said the theory of looking
towards the East owed to the founder of Pakistan Peoples Party and the former
Prime Minister of Pakistan Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
The President said he felt that there was room for more interaction with China. He
said he had been visiting China since 1988, even before assuming the office of
President of Pakistan. He mentioned that Chinese language had been introduced
as an optional subject in schools in Sindh province. Referring to the Karakorum
Highway damaged by the floods, President Zardari said Pakistan and China were
working on enhancing the road and railway connectivity. President Zardari also
extended new year greetings to China on start of its lunar year of Dragon.
China’s flagship newspaper Peoples Daily and its website Peoples Daily Online
conducted separate exclusive interviews with President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime
Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani.
Once the schedule of the interview was announced on Peoples Daily Online, it
caught widespread attention from Chinese citizens, who put forward thousands of
topics and questions during quite a short time and sent their best wishes to
Pakistani people on the website.

All Day Building regional ties -- BY Muhammad Munir & Muhammad Nawaz
Building regional ties
Muhammad Munir & Muhammad Nawaz
In a conspicuous international development, Pakistan, China and Afghanistan held

a formal trilateral dialogue which has taken place for the first time in the history of
regional ties, a mechanism possibly born in anticipation of the withdrawal of the
occupation forces from Afghanistan in the coming months. India’s increasing
interference and presence in Afghanistan is also a worry matter to both; of Pakistan
and China. From February 28 to 29, 2012, the first trilateral dialogue was held in
Beijing. Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi has lauded the successful holding of
the trilateral dialogue. The aim of the trilateral dialogue was to exchange opinions
on the regional situation between the three countries on a regular basis. Trilateral
cooperation through dialogue under current circumstances is of great significance
for the three countries to enhance friendly cooperation among the troika and also
for maintaining peace and stability in the region. The establishment of the platform
has opened up a new scenario of unity, solidarity and cooperation among the three
states.
In this perspective, the three sides reaffirmed their commitment to the spirit of the
2002 Kabul Declaration on Good-Neighbourly Relations which aimed at developing
constructive and supportive bilateral relations on the basis of territorial integrity,
mutual respect, friendly relations, cooperation and non-interference in each other’s
internal affairs. Rather, they support countries in the region to enhance political
mutual trust and accommodate each other’s concerns and interests. They agreed to
explore the feasibility of trilateral cooperation in areas of connectivity, resource
development and combating the three forces of terrorism, separatism and
extremism. The three sides support the United Nation’s leading role in the context
of international cooperation and also adhere to the role of other international
organizations and cooperation mechanisms including the Shanghai Cooperation
Organization.
The key to overcoming existing challenges in the region is to push forward the
reconciliation process in Afghanistan and promoting regional economic and social
development. China and Pakistan both indicated support for the ‘Afghan-led’ and
‘Afghan-owned’ reconciliation process. Rangin Dadfar Spanta a National Security
Adviser to the Afghan President Hamid Karzai, said, “We highly welcome the
trilateral dialogue that actually was the desire of President Karzai.” On many
occasions, he asked China to play a mediator’s role and bring Pakistan and
Afghanistan closer in order to scale down the misunderstandings and differences
between the two sides. He further said, “we encourage Chinese investors to come
to Afghanistan to use the interests of two countries.” Logic is quite obvious. China is
a long-standing ally of Pakistan with growing investments there and in Afghanistan;
it has resources for the economic development and trade needed by both countries.
Juxtaposed to it, China’s concern about its Uighur minority is also growing. With the
ongoing crisis in Afghanistan, security situation of FATA-Balochistan in Pakistan
and security environment in Xinjiang, China looks like a prime ally for closer
cooperation among Pakistan, Afghanistan and China. There are various broadly
shared interests in combating terrorism, containing rising extremism, and
supporting the stability of the three states.
Afghanistan should rely on China — a power in ascendance, rather than eyeing the
United States for better future. Focus on China makes sense and it would be
acceptable to Afghanistan as an ally in a way that Russia never could be because
of its tainted history as a hated occupier of Afghanistan during the 1980s. Military
solution is no solution for Afghanistan. There is a need to build economic and trade
ties with neighbourly states to seek stability through economic development. This
means optimally utilizing natural economic complementarities of Afghanistan and
Pakistan and that of the region as a whole, for socio-economic development.
Several important mega projects, including trans-regional projects, such as
Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India Gas Pipeline; building of electricity
transmission lines; enhancing physical connectivity by building or upgrading

Sat
requisite infrastructure, including road and rail transportation and communication
links as well as expediting the implementation mechanisms for the Afghanistan-
Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement etc., need to be fast-tracked. Any talk of building
up trade, oil pipelines and roads involves China because of its large and growing
market. China has several thousand labourers in Pakistan working on infrastructure
and building, repairing or expanding roads, which would open up trade routes and
also link up with Pakistan’s Arabian Sea port of Gwadar, giving it access to Gulf oil
supplies. Logically speaking, it would make sense for Pakistan to forge economic
partnerships with Afghanistan and China. Better economic conditions would make it
easier to stabilize Afghanistan while also providing jobs to Afghan and Pakistani
youths — who might otherwise be drawn into extremism. Even though in an article
published in the journal, Foreign Policy, Steve Levine argues, “there would be
nothing wrong with China playing a much bigger role in Afghanistan.”
A stable security environment for Xinjiang, the restive northwestern province that is
home to China’s largest Muslim minority group, the Uighurs, is of great importance
to Beijing. Aside from the direct risk of cross-border flows of arms, militants, and
narcotics, the ideological influence of jihadi groups has played an important role for
some Uighur pro-independence groups. Like Pakistan, China has been a victim of
militants trained in the eastern and southern provinces in Afghanistan. While many
of these fighters are affiliated with other transnational groups, such as Islamic
Movement of Uzbekistan, small numbers are still thought to be active in groups that
target China specifically, such as Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP) or East Turkestan
Islamic Movement (ETIM), which seek to establish an Islamic state of East
Turkestan in Xinjiang. China’s economic interests in both countries are also
substantial. China Metallurgical Construction Group has initiated $3.2 billion Aynak
copper mine investment in Logar; an eastern province of Afghanistan, to utilize the
largest copper reserves which are equivalent to one third of the China’s total copper
reserves. Chinese companies have interests in mineral deposits elsewhere in the
country and are also active in the irrigation, infrastructure, telecommunications, and
power sectors. China has a wide-range set of investments in Pakistan. In addition to
large-scale projects in telecommunications and hydropower, the Chinese-built port
at Gwadar in Baluchistan potentially provides an energy transshipment route once
connected to the expanded Karakoram Highway (KKH).
The three regional actors are willing to further enhance their trilateral relations and
address regional challenges together by expressing their readiness to play
constructive roles. Analysts spoke high of the significance of the dialogue, which
marked the beginning of new process for countries in the region to tackle problems
by themselves. “Afghanistan and Pakistan have suffered from turbulence and wars
in the region for a long time, which have been created by third parties outside the
region,” said Su Hao, Director Centre for Strategic and Conflict Management at
China Foreign Affairs University. As a neighbour of Afghanistan and Pakistan,
China cannot be overlooked. Peace and stability in the two countries greatly
influence the situation in China. It is essential for China to deal with the issues of
the region. “The stability of neighbouring countries is good not only for China but all
the relevant countries,” said Shen Dingli, Director Centre for American Studies at
the Shanghai-based Fudan University. In nutshell, security problems in the region
remain complicated; there is still a long way to go for peace and stability in the
region. Indian a

China defends N-cooperation with Pak as ‘mutually beneficial’
Beijing: Ahead of a key global summit on atomic security, China today defended its
nuclear cooperation with Pakistan as “mutually beneficial” and in accordance with
international safeguards.
Luo Zhaohui, the Director-General of Department of Asian Affairs, told reporters

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the global nuclear watchdog body.
“China-Pakistan had several years of nuclear cooperation in building Chashma

nuclear power station. This station is subjected to IAEA safeguards. So far it is
mutually beneficial and in accordance with international law,” he said at a press
meet when asked about China-Pakistan nuclear cooperation as well as global
anxieties over Pakistan nuclear weapons falling into the hands of militant groups.

Zardari wants closer ties with Tajikistan
DUSHANBE: President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday said that in the post-2014 geo-
strategic scenario after drawdown of foreign forces from Afghanistan, it was
important that Pakistan and Tajikistan developed closer cooperation in all fields,
particularly in the areas of defence, security and intelligence.
The president floated a proposal that the interior ministers of both countries should
meet regularly and more often for this purpose.
The proposal was mooted and instantly accepted by Tajikistan President Emomali
Rahmon during a meeting between the two leaders soon after President Zardari
arrived from Islamabad on a two-day visit to this Central Asian state which is
separated from Pakistan only by a narrow strip of Wakhan in Afghanistan.
It was decided that modalities for the meetings between the interior ministers would
be worked out during the current visit.
The president's spokesman Farhatullah Babar said that soon after arrival, the
president drove straight to inaugurate a National Bank branch in Dushanbe,
describing it as a step to further cement business and trade relations Tajikistan.
The delegation-level meeting was attended by Interior Minister Rehman Malik,

Pakistan's Ambassador to Tajikistan Amjad Hussain B Sial, Farhatullah Babar,
Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jillani, Senator Abbas Khan and other senior officials
of the Foreign Office.
During the delegation-level talks, the Tajik president was assisted by Tajik ministers

offices of both the countries and relevant agencies to prepare plans for the evolving
scenario as a result of the drawdown of foreign forces from Afghanistan.

led reconciliation process for bringing stability in that country.

people contacts and tourism.
Zardari also proposed that the two countries might consider a policy of issuance of
visa on arrival for a period of one month to bona fide businessmen and tourists.
Liberalisation of visa regime has contributed to the enhancement of trade but it is

still below the actual potential, he said, adding, "We need to further liberalise the
visa regime for genuine businessmen."
The president said that Gwadar Port provided new vistas of trade for Tajikistan and
Central Asia and Tajikistan, being a transit country for Europe, will benefit
immensely from it.
The president also called for early finalisation of a transit agreement between
Pakistan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan to take full advantage of Gwadar Port facility,

ISLAMABAD: The Economic Coordination Committee of the Cabinet on Thursday

allowed the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources to formally ink a gas sales
purchase agreement for import of gas from Turkmenistan under the $7.6 billion
TAPI gas project at 69 percent of crude oil parity price.
Under the proposed project, 1,640-km-long TAPI gas pipeline will bring 3.2 billion
cubic feet of natural gas per day (bcfd) from Turkmenistan’s gas fields to Multan in
central Pakistan and end in the northwest Indian town of Fazilka. Out of this,
Pakistan will get 1.365 billion cubic feet of gas per day, India 1.365 bfcd and
Afghanistan 0.5 bcfd. Afghanistan has surrendered its share that will now be equally
divided between Pakistan and India. Afghanistan says it has no infrastructure to
absorb the gas and the share of 0.5bcfd will now be equally shared by Pakistan and
India.
Chaired by Federal Minister for Finance & Economic Affairs Dr Abdul Hafeez
Shaikh, the ECC meeting was informed that a steering committee headed by Syed
Naveed Qamar, minister for water & power, was already working on determining the
price of gas. The ECC asked the minister for petroleum to make full presentation to
the steering committee as well as member ministers of the ECC for information
purposes.
The ECC also approved import of 300,000 tonnes of Urea for the Kharif season and
directed the concerned ministries and divisions to ensure balanced use of port
facility at Gwadar, so that this port could generate revenue for Balochistan.
The ECC rejected the summary of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources on
“Financing of Gas Infrastructure Development Schemes”, and reiterated the
decision of energy conference held on April 9, 2012 for putting a complete ban on
new connections.
In the energy conference, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources had
pleaded for a ban on new gas development schemes keeping in view the huge gas
deficit that has swelled to over 2 billion cubic feet per day. Secretary Petroleum
Mohammad Ejaz Chaudhry when contacted said the ECC is not the forum to
impose ban and that it had only observed that a decision in this regard will be taken
in the light of the recommendations of the energy conference. The ECC could not
take a decision on the summary on fortnightly review of the POL prices.

All 3 sides discuss opening of transit trade route
ISLAMABAD: The first meeting of Islamabad-Tehran-Istanbul Road Corridor project

was held under the auspices of the Ministry of Communications here on Monday
and discussed opening up of transit trade route between the three countries.
Pakistan offered six various routes with Iranian border city of Taftan including
Karachi-Taftan, Gwadar -Gabd- Taftan and Peshawar-Quetta-Taftan for enhancing
trade among the member countries. Meeting on Transport and Communications at
Ashgabat, Tajikistan, in June 2011 had agreed to establish two road transport
corridors in the ECO region, one between Islamabad-Tehran-Istanbul and the other
between Iran-Tajikistan-Kyrgyz Republic.
The meeting discussed the official borders crossing and routes, mutually agreed
transit system, permit issues, vehicle weight, dimensions and other specifications,
customs clearance/working hours at the border points and ways and means for
facilitation of visa for drivers.
The meeting also discussed the Transport International Rotier (TIR), which allows
the free movement of the drivers in the member countries and provides guarantees
to the host country. Pakistan has not yet acceded to the TIR and it is under
consideration by the government. The meeting discussed the modus operandi to
facilitate the Pakistani trade so that the trade activity can continue till Pakistan
accedes to the TIR. Earlier, while inaugurating the session, Federal Secretary for
Communications Anwar Ahmed Khan said that National Highway Authority, Ministry
of Communications is executing around 100 projects with an over-stretched
portfolio of $7,000 million to achieve this ambitious goal. The purpose is to provide
linkages with neighbouring countries to give boost to bilateral relations and enhance
trade.
Presence of delegates from Turkey and Iran, in the Islamabad-Tehran-Istanbul

Road Corridor meeting, shows the commitment of the member states to achieve
this project within the shortest possible time, he said. We shall take great inspiration
from the successful launch of the Islamabad-Tehran-Istanbul cargo train and
certainly, this gathering raises hope that fulfilling of our common objective is not
very far and I assure you on behalf of the government of Pakistan, of our complete
cooperation, he added.
Khan emphasised that scope of cooperation should not be limited to public and
government sector only as in today’s world the private sector has become the real
engine of growth and needs facilitation from the government sector. We should
endeavour for joint private sector entrepreneurships for development of specific
infrastructure and transport-logistics facilities for efficient movement of goods and
services through the Islamabad-Tehran-Islamabad corridor, he added.
Khan said that this event will provide us an opportunity to further cement our
historical, cultural and trade ties and to interact and share views on various aspects
of transport and commerce. Nevertheless, it would undoubtedly help us to promote
inter regional integration and identify and overcome the shortcomings.
The federal secretary said that establishment of road corridor will greatly facilitate
implementation of Transit Transport Framework Agreement (TTFA) - an agreement
signed a decade ago to facilitate trade and transport among the 10-member
Economic Cooperation Organisation (ECO). The successful launch of Truck
Caravan from Pakistan in 2010 has further strengthened the belief that now there is
a need to start regular operations of goods and passengers movement within the
ECO Region.

All Day Pakistan issues tender for IP gasline -- The Nation
Pakistan issues tender for IP gasline
ISLAMABAD - Continuing with plans to build a gas pipeline from Iran despite US
pressure, the Petroleum and Natural Resources Ministry has issued pre-
qualification of engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning tender
for the project, sources said.
Inter State Gas Systems, an auxiliary organisation of the Petroleum and Natural
Resources Ministry, issued the tender for pre-qualification (PQ) as Iran offered
$500 million to Pakistan to build its part of the pipeline.
The document, available with The Nation, invites pre-qualification for a pipeline to
transport high pressure natural gas from an off-take point near the port city of
Gwadar to a gas integration point near Nawabshah.
Agencies cited an unnamed technical manager at ISGS as saying: "We expect that
it should be about 50-60 days from the final day of submission. It will also depend
on the number of applicants."
"We would hope to start construction for the project by end of this year." Another
company source said the target was to see the first flow of gas from December
2016. The project, which is estimated to cost between $1.5 to $1.8 billion, was
proposed in the 1990s but has faced numerous delays. The United States has,
repeatedly, urged Pakistan to drop the project because of its sanctions on Iran.
Pakistan has been in a state of limbo with regard to funding for its section of the
pipeline after the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in March backed away
from the project.
Islamabad last month also approached Russia's Gazprom to invest in the pipeline
project. "Iran is willing to raise its offer to speed up start of the project," the
petroleum ministry official said.
Pakistan and Iran in 2010 agreed to build the pipeline between Assaluyeh in
southern Iran to Pakistan. Of the total, 900 km is to lie in Pakistan's territory and the
cost estimate to build this section is around $1.5 billion.
The country is facing a severe gas shortage and has so far been unwilling to give
up the 1 Bcf/d of gas Iran has agreed to supply it through the pipeline.
Tehran and Islamabad are also due to hold negotiations soon on the supply of
70,000-80,000 b/d of Iranian crude to Pakistan, the official said.
The project can be offered either on EPC or turnkey basis as per PQ document.
Similarly, the contractor will be bound to install three compressors between Iranian
border and Nawabshah as well as the construction pipeline within two years.
The documents also made it clear that there would be exemption of General Sales
Tax (GST), duties, taxes and services over the imported machinery and the
companies interested in the construction of the pipeline could submit their technical
and financial proposals till June 8 along with a deposit of non-refundable Rs5000 or
equivalent as processing fee. Again, foreign contractors not registered with
Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) will have to submit an undertaking to get
themselves registered with PEC before the award of contract to them.
Similarly, PQ applicants are required to have an implemented Quality Management
System that complies with the requirement of the latest edition of ISO-9000,
OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001 certificates.

All Day Pak-China partnership imperative for economic prosperity: Rabbani --
BR
BEIJING: There is no dearth of natural resources in Pakistan, what we need from
our Chinese friends is their expertise and cutting edge technology for economic
prosperity so that both the countries can benefit from this win-win situation.
This was stated by Senior Special Assistant to Chief Minister of Sindh and leader of
the parliamentary delegation, Rashid Hussain Rabbani during an interaction here
with Chinese media at a reception hosted by Ambassador Masood Khan for the
delegation on Thursday.
A cross-party delegation from ruling coalition including PPP, ANP, PML (Q) and
MQM was on a 12-day visit to China at the invitation of ruling Communist Party of
China (CPC) that concluded on Friday.
Rashid Rabbani said that Pakistan is rich in all kinds of resources including
minerals. During our meetings with the Chinese leadership, we exchanged views on
how to enhance cooperation for exploiting these resources and as well as to
enhance our trade relations, he said.
He pointed out that although there has been an upward trend from both side, there
is still room for expansion in our mutual trade.
Rabbani said that members of the delegation during their interactions with the
Chinese benefited a great deal and got to know the Chinese system of governance,
as well as the outstanding achievements of this great country in all spheres of life.
In the same way, he said, the delegation was also informed about the system of
governance in Pakistan and the steps the present democratic government has
taken to improve the standard of living of the people. My colleagues highlighted all
aspects of government whether they were social welfare, economic prosperity or
political reconciliation policy of the present government, he said.
He said the present democratic government has completed its four years of terms
successfully with the support of coalition partners. During the Q&A session,
Rabbani said that in their meetings with the Chinese side, members of the
delegation explained to them the policies of the present democratically elected
government.
He said President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani had
visited several times China as we consider that in future China's importance is
attached with Pakistan and vice-versa.
The present parliamentarian delegation's visit, he said, will help bringing the two
countries closer and strengthen people to people contacts.
The Chinese media was informed that all the political forces in Pakistan, whether in
government or opposition, are unanimous that China is our best friend and want to
further strengthen our bond of friendship.
Referring to Pakistan's pivotal role in fighting terrorism, Rabbani said that Pakistan
is in the forefront in this war, the only country that has rendered tremendous
sacrifices for stemming out terrorism and to contain the menace.
In this endeavor, he pointed out that a large number of people, security forces
personals embraced Shahdat.
The war also badly affected our economy, he noted. Shah Jehan Bhatti of PPP said
that we cannot claim that terrorism has been completely eliminated, but we have
been successful in containing it to a large extent.
He called upon the international community to realize their responsibility and help
Pakistan in fighting terrorism.

Rabbani lauded Ambassador Masood Khan's efforts in deepening the Pakistan-

China friendship as well as cooperation in all dimensions. Khawaja Izhar Ul Hassan

He said that ruling CPC has introduced a new tradition by establishing contact with
all political forces in Pakistan.

All Day Rs 8bn demanded for Gwadar Port connectivity -- APP

Rs 8bn demanded for Gwadar Port connectivity
By Ijaz Kakakhel
ISLAMABAD: To remove the deprivation of Balochistan and make the Gwadar Port
completely operational, the National Highway Authority (NHA) has demanded Rs
8.001 billion for completion of Gwadar Port connectivity for the year 2012-13.
The NHA forwarded these estimates for Gwadar Port linkages roads, which after
completion will make this important port fully operational, sources in the Ministry of
Communication told Daily Times here on Thursday. If this port of the deprived
province is made operational, it will bring development and prosperity among the
local residents.
Gwadar Port is the third port of Pakistan - Karachi and Port Qasim being the other
two. Gwadar borders on Arabian Sea. It is about 533 kilometres (kms) from Karachi
and 120 kms from the Iranian border. Gwadar Port is located at the mouth of the
Persian Gulf and outside the Straits of Hormuz. It is near the key shipping routes
used by the mainline vessels in the region with connections to Africa, Asia and
Europe and enjoys high commercial and strategic significance. Various professional
studies manifest that Gwadar Port location is the most advantageous one as an
alternative port, which could handle mother ships and large oil tankers in due
course.
The NHA demanded Rs 500 million for construction of Lyari-Gwadar-Gabd (MCH)

with total length of 653 kms. For construction of Khuzdar – Ratodero (three packs)
on (M-8), the authority demanded Rs 2.5 billion for construction 150 kms long road.
For construction of another linkages road, namely, Gwadar – Turbat – Hoshab
(three packs) on M-8, the authority demanded Rs 2.5 billion for the construction of
193 kms roads. For N-85, (Hoshab - Basima – Sorab), the NHA demanded Rs 2.5
billion for the year 2012-13 to construct 454 kms long roads. Lastly, the ministry
demanded Rs 1 million for Basima – Khuzdar for construction of 110 kms. The NHA
has sent these demands for Gwadar connectivity, which will be carried out during
next fiscal year.
The Gwadar Port will act as a catalyst for a large number of related projects like
trans-shipment of bulk cargo, oil storage, refinery and petrochemicals, export
processing and industrial zones, export of minerals, livestock and services (hotels,
accommodation, and tourism). Main purpose of developing this port is to stimulate
economic growth in the western and northern parts of Pakistan, utilising the
available coastline resources of the country and also providing an outlet for the land
locked Central Asian Countries and Afghanistan through transit trade and offering
transshipment facilities, sources in the Ministry of Communication claimed.
757
Fri
The National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Ports and Shipping a few days
ago advised the government to approve proper funds for Gwadar Port connectivity,
which is the backbone of Pakistan’s economy. The parliamentarians also
demanded of the government to provide proper security for construction of Gwadar
connectivity roads. The government can generate billions of rupees revenue from
Gwadar Port once its road connectivity is completed and the port fully functional.
The NHA informed the committee that the authority is confronting severe financial
crises and if the government fails to provide proper funds (at least Rs 2 billion)
before June 2012, the existing contractors will shut down their work. He said the
NHA also confronts law and order problem, which is hindrance in the execution of
work. On one side, he said the Finance Ministry could not provide funds to the NHA
and secondly, the law and order situation is a big problem. The Ministry of Interior is
providing FC at the cost of Rs 10 million per month, and the NHA is unable to bear
such a huge spending. The NHA member requested the committee to arrange Rs 2
billion during the ongoing fiscal year so as to keep the contractors working till June
2012. For the year 2012-13, the government has allocated Rs 48 billion under
Public Sector Development Programme.
The committee claimed that Gwadar Port is the most important for economic uplift
of the province and country but it is bad luck that the government totally failed to
make it fully functional. The committee already recommended the government to
approve Rs 8 billion funds for only Gwadar Port connectivity. The committee also
decided to make proper meeting over law and order situation over Balochistan law

All Day Russian business team to visit Pakistan soon: diplomat -- RECORDER
REPORT
Consul-General Russian Federation Andrev V Demidov is in contact with his foreign
office to escort a trade delegation to Pakistan.
This was disclosed by him at the first meeting of Pakistan Russia Business Council
(PRBC) for 2012 held at the Federation House here last week.
Congratulating the formation of the new council of the Federation of Pakistan

Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI), he appreciated its mandate to
revitalise the body for enhancing bilateral trade between the two countries.
Terming the quantum of trade between the two countries very low and
unsatisfactory, he said that there was a huge potential in both the countries that
needed to be tapped.
Referring to the fruitful visit undertaken by FPCCI delegation led by its President to
the Russian Federation in November 2011, he emphasised that follow-up action
was required to implement the decisions taken during the visit.
He proposed to develop a website of the Council to keep the business communities

of both the countries updated about its activities and assured his full support to work
together for the development of trade and growth of economic co-operation
The meeting was also attended by Chairman of the Council Muhammad Farooq
Afzal and newly-elected directors Aasif Teli, Shahid Jafferi, Abdul Razzak, Iftikhar
Ashraf, Adnan Waheed, Jamil Qasim, Nausheen Shahzad and other council
members.
Farooq Afzal said that the promotion of Pakistan-Russia trade relations faced
numerous challenges, such as providing trade facilities, business infrastructure,
establishment of banks, visa issues, and communication gap between chambers
and trade bodies of the two countries.
He indicated that Russia could assist Pakistan's business community in developing
infrastructure and human resource, modernising industrial and agricultural sectors
and boosting competitiveness of the country's industries.
The Russian side, he said, could also avail opportunities in Pakistan in the fields of
oil, gas, power generation, chemical products, fertiliser, timber, paper and metal
products.
He presented various proposals for enhancing the trade volume between Pakistan
and Russia and highlighted issues and challenges and proposed that ways and
means to improve bilateral trade.
Stressing the need for giving traders of both countries greater market access in
both countries, he said the governments should sign a preferential trade agreement
(PTA) to reduce special interest duties, adding that this would pave the way for the
signing of a free trade agreement (FTA).
Urging both countries to prioritise foreign trade policies, he said that it was the only
way to achieve positive results.
"We need to formulate our trade policies on war footing basis by making short term
and long term strategies to achieve our set common goals," he said.
Farooq Afzal suggested frequent exchange of trade delegations, adding that
currently, there were no direct contacts between business communities of both
countries.
Governments of both the countries, he said, should send cultural troupes, media
people, student groups, besides initiating an exchange of TV programmes and
establishment of warehouses, banks display centers in potential business cities of
Russia.
He requested the Consul-General to discuss with higher authorities in his country to
760
Wed
remove difficulties and lengthy procedures for acquiring business visas, adding that
an FPCCI visa recommendation letter should be given weightage.
He thought that diversification of Pakistani exports in the rich Ural and Siberian
regions would raise the question for goods transportation and for that he suggested
to connect these regions with Gwadar deep seaport.
Since joint business councils exist in many countries, Farooq Afzal suggested the
establishment of a joint business council to include members of both the countries
to accelerate trade and business activities and increase trade volume at a rapid
pace.
He further suggested that government should allocate a trade zone for Russian
investors with attractive terms and conditions where they could set up joint ventures
with Pakistani firms.
Pakistan government, he said, should formulate policies to help attract Russian

investors to participate in the Thar Coal project, which could become the cheapest
source of energy in Pakistan.
Lastly he urged the government and the ministry of commerce to include private
sector in the Pakistan-Russian Joint Ministerial Commission (JMC) meetings and
said that they were real stakeholders doing business in Russia.

China emerges as Pakistan’s largest development partner, creditor
ISLAMABAD: China has emerged as the largest development partner and creditor
of Pakistan in the last three years as its loan portfolio has increased to $3.3 billion,
a senior official said.
In the current year, Pakistan got the commitment of $652 million from China, of
which it has received $400 million for various projects of paramount importance, a
senior official at the Economic Affairs Division told The News.
Mentioning about the much-awaited loan for Pakistan’s most strategic Neelum-
Jhelum project, the official said that Beijing has communicated positive indication to
soon disburse the commercial loan of $448 million needed to complete the project.
The indication was given to Dr Waqar Masud, secretary of the EAD, during his
meeting held with Chairman of Exim Bank in China on April 19.
“The chairman said that the president of the Exim Bank is hectically engaged and
will soon hold internal meeting, wherein, Pakistan’s request will be entertained
positively.” Dr Masud pleaded the case of loan very effectively and told the
authorities of the Exim Bank that Pakistan has 29 percent of repayment capacity of
net present value of $61 billion foreign loans, whereas 250 percent capacity of net
present value of debt is even permissible as per the international standards, the
official said.
“The Chinese authorities were also told that Pakistan’s main income stands at $40
billion in just two heads of exports and remittances, which is why there is no issue
at all in terms of repayment of loans.”
Further highlighting $448 million loan for Neelum-Jhelum project, the official said
that Pakistan floated the idea of loan for the project in 2009, but the terms of
references (ToRs) were finalised in August 2011, as desired by the Water and
Power Development Authority (Wapda), so saying that there is an abnormal delay
in the disbursement, is not justified.
China is the strategic partner in Pakistan’s development, the official said, adding
that Pakistan has started repaying the loan to China against the Chashma nuclear
power plant-2 and Gwadar Port. “China’s Exim Bank is, however, sending its
delegation to Pakistan on May 7 to finalise the credit lines for five small dams to be
constructed in various parts of the country,” the official added.

Setting up Pak-China centers in universities to deepen
friendship,partnership:Ambassador Masood Khan
Date : 15-05-2012
BEIJING, May 15 : In order to deepen all weather friendship and the strategic
partnership, Ambassador Masood Khan has suggested setting up of Pakistan-
China centers in all key universities in Pakistan. “Some have already moved in that
direction. We should also reinforce the trend for learning Chinese language and
culture in Pakistani schools and colleges”, Ambassador Khan said in an interview.
Highlighting the benefits of these centers, he said this step would produce a new
generation of Pakistanis equipped with the skills to deal with China more
productively.
In China, Pakistan Study Centers are housed in four prestigious higher learning
institutions namely Peking, Tsinghua, Sichuan and Fudan University.
Khan further elaborated that our economic teams and business leaders should
learn how to do business with China.
Although the world is globalized, the template of doing business with the Western
countries would not entirely work in China, he noted.
For instance, he said, “We need to understand a bit deeply, why would a Chinese
corporate leader first assess a negotiator’s personality before doing business with
his company? What is the relevance of consensual decision making, long-term
relationships and win-win solutions in China?”
Further more, the Pak envoy said, “We must focus on youth because they have to
inherit this relationship. This is already happening.
Hundreds of young students and professionals are exchanging visits each year”, he
observed.
“This figure should move into thousands and then into millions. I can testify that
there is a strong aspiration for that on both sides”, Ambassador Khan noted.
The establishment of a Pakistan-China Young Entrepreneurs Forum will be a good

initiative in this context, he said.(APP)

High-ranking Chinese delegation visiting Islamabad amidst strained Pak-U.S. ties
Islamabad, Amidst continued uncertainty surrounding the troubled ties between

Pakistan and the United States, a high-level Chinese delegation, led by Foreign
Minister Yang Jiechi, is scheduled to visit Islamabad next week.
According to official sources, the delegation, comprising top officials from China”s
diplomatic corps and intelligence services, will have wide-ranging talks with
Pakistan”s civil and military leadership, reports The Express Tribune.
Jiechi would arrive on May 29 and hold formal discussions with his Pakistani
counterpart Hina Rabbani Khar. Jiechi would also meet President Asif Ali Zardari,
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and army chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani,
sources said.
An official described Jiechi”s visit as significant in view of the ongoing tensions

between Islamabad and Washington over the resumption of vital land routes for the
foreign forces stationed in Afghanistan.
The supply lines were suspended in November last year in retaliation to NATO air
strikes on the Salala check post near the border with Afghanistan, which left 24
Pakistani soldiers dead.
Pakistan is seeking an unconditional apology from the U.S. for the attacks and
imposition of an additional transit fee on NATO trucks.
Washington is, however, so far reluctant to accept those demands, delaying

Islamabad”s final announcement to lift the six-month old ban on NATO supplies.
China is believed to have backed Pakistan”s stance on resetting ties with the U.S.
in line with the new policy terms approved by parliament last month.
“Pakistan and China share a common perspective on important regional issues

including the Afghan endgame,” an official said.
Pakistan and China have enjoyed cordial diplomatic relations throughout six
decades.

All Day Tubewells in Balochistan: Senate panel for raising subsidy to Rs 8 billion
-- BUSINESS RECORDER
Tubewells in Balochistan: Senate panel for raising subsidy to Rs 8 billion
Senate Standing Committee on Finance on Friday unanimously proposed

enhancement of agricultural tubewells subsidy to Rs 8 billion for Balochistan in
budget for 2012-13. The Senate committee meeting chaired by Mrs Nasreen Jalil
also unanimously proposed that agricultural loan to farmers of flood affected areas
may be withdrawn and the government should immediately plan railway and road
projects for linking Gwadar port with other areas of the country.
The committee recommended providing required allocation of funds to implement

projects linking Gwadar with rest of the country. The members of the committee
were of the view that linking Gwadar port with Punjab, Sindh and Central Asia could
strengthen economy of the country. Secretary Planning Commission Asif Bajwa
informed the committee that Rs 18 billion projects had been envisaged to connect
Gwadar port with other parts of the country and Rs 15 billion have so far been
utilised. The remaining Rs 3.3 billion have been allocated in the Public Sector
Development Programme (PSDP) for 2012-13.
Asif Bajwa said the government has also directed the Ministry of Railway to prepare
a feasibility report to lay 901 kilometers railway track from Gwadar to Mastung. He
said funds are not an issue but the feasibility report is awaited to initiate projects of
laying the track. The committee also recommended to the Ministry of Industries and
the Ministry of Commerce to re-examine import of reconditioned vehicles to allow
import of more than five years old vehicles and examine the implementation of Auto
Industry Development Plan (AIDP) after some members demanded vehemently to
recommend the National Assembly to allow import of 10 years old cars.
The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) Chairman said the government has agreed to
the demands of Steel Melters Association to reduce sale tax on consumption of
electricity to Rs 7 per unit from the proposed Rs 8 per unit. The FBR chairman said
steel melters assured them of not increasing the price of steel products. The
committee also decided to request the Council of Common Interests (CCI) to
resolve the issue of circular debt to minimise electricity crisis in the country. The
committee also proposed that same incentive may be given to commercial
importers of raw material for manufacturing of medicines as are available to the
industrial importers. Import of 10-year reconditioned/old cars may be allowed

All Day China to back Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project -- Tehran Times
ISLAMABAD - Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari and Petroleum Minister Dr Asim
Hussain remained successful in convincing the Chinese leadership during their
recent visit to China to take part in the bidding for the construction of the Iran-
Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project.
An official source said after getting China’s backing, the government had extended
the deadline for the prequalification of the engineering, procurement, construction
(EPC) and commissioning of the 785km-long pipeline from June 8 to June 22.
He said a leading Chinese firm was likely to participate in the construction of the IP
pipeline.
He said it was a big achievement, as China’s participation in the project would

ensure its safety, adding that Iran had already assured Pakistan of providing all the
financial and technical assistance, including equipment and compressors, for the
commissioning of the pipeline.
The estimated cost of the project on the Pakistani side is estimated at $1.2 billion.
The 42-inch diameter gas pipeline will be transporting high pressure one billion
cubic feet gas per day (bcfd) from an off-take point near Gwadar to gas integration
point near Nawabshah. The country is faced with a gas shortage of 2bcfd, which is
estimated to increase to 6bcfd in the next five years if new discoveries are not made
or gas is not imported.
The pipeline will follow the coastal route and will be safe from any sabotage
activities in Balochistan. The government is ready to offer the project, either on EPC
or turnkey basis, per the prequalification document. Construction includes pipeline,
compressor stations, main line block valve stations, pig launching and receiving
stations, CP installations, SCADA other related equipment, installations and
pipeline crossings across various nullahs and rivers including River Indus.
Earlier, a selected consortium led by Industrial and Commercial Bank of China

(ICBC) and Habib Bank of Pakistan (HBL) waned away from financing the IP project
after the United States issued strong statements against the project.
Pakistan was looking towards Gazprom to undertake the project but the deal did not
materialize. The government has already decided to dedicate the imported gas
through the IP pipeline for the power sector as power shortage is projected to
increase over 11,000MW in the next few years. The government is working to
starting process for setting up new independent power producers (IPPs) of
5,000MW cumulative capacity so that they should be ready for commissioning by
the time natural gas starts flowing from the IP pipeline in December 2014.
Beijing finally agrees to lay IP gas line in Pak territory
In a new development China, which had earlier backtracked from being the
financial advisor for laying the 785 km pipeline in Pakistan’s territory under the Iran-
Pakistan (IP) gas project, has once again shown willingness to become the EPCC
(Engineering Procurement Construction and Commissioning) contactor.
785
Sun
President Asif Ali Zardari and federal minister for petroleum and natural resources
Dr Asim Hussain who are currently in Beijing have reportedly succeeded in
persuading China to take part in the IP project, a senior official quoting the
information trickling down from China told The News.
“Managing director of Inter-State Gas System Mr Mubin Saulat dashed to China for
finaliZing the details and Pakistan has agreed 90 percent of the terms and
conditions offered by China for playing the role as contractor of the project.”
Pakistan had earlier issued tenders on April 27 to build the 785 kilometers long
pipeline in two years’ time. The interested companies were bound to submit their
technical and financial bids for the project by June 8. Now under the new scenario,
the date of submitting the technical and financial bid has been extended to June 22
to acccommodate the Chinese company.
About 750 million to 1 billion cubic feet of gas per day will be transported at high
pressure through 42-inch diameter pipeline. The contractor will also install three
pressure compressors in the pipeline from Pak-Iran border to Nawabshah.
The official said the strategy, which was earlier worked out between Pakistan and
Iran, has been slightly changed. Now the Chinese company will complete the
project, but Iran will provide the pipeline, gas compressors and block valves. Earlier
it was decided that the Iranian company would construct the project in Pakistan’s
territory.
To a question he said that Pakistan would provide reasonable funds for the project
and in case of any shortage the Iranian offer of $250-500 million is available. He
said the increase of GDS (Gas Development Surcharge) on gas to five sectors
would help collect Rs102 billion in one year that would be utilized for laying down
the pipeline.
Under the gas sales purchase agreement (GSPA), the official said, Pakistan is
bound to have a first take of Iranian gas by December 2014 and in case of failure, it
will have to pay $ 1 million per day to Iran as penalty.
Secretary Petroleum Ijaz Chaudhry said that Pak-Iran gas pipeline project would be
completed up to December 2014.
Talking to a private news channel, he said that Pakistan is serious in the gas
pipeline project.
He added that companies have been short listed for the construction of the pipeline.
786
Sun
Ijaz Chaudhry said that Iran has offered support for the project in shape of
materials.
He further said that Pakistan is looking also for other options.
He added that talks were underway with Russian and Chinese companies.
The government will provide funds to build infrastructure of the project from its
treasury, the Secretary added.

QUETTA: Balochistan Chief Minister Aslam Raisani has said the provincial

The chief minister said the provincial government could also run the Gwadar port
and acquire services of local and foreign experts to make it functional.
He said the federal government had assured him to provide Rs5 billion for roads
linking the port with the rest of the country.
He said his government had extended an invitation to the Afghan Chamber of

Commerce and Industry to visit Gwadar and discuss the possibility of using the port
for the Afghan transit trade.
Mr Raisani said the Balochistan government had allocated funds for investment in
different sectors and for purchasing shares of the OGDC and Pakistan Petroleum
Limited.
The chief minister said efforts were being made to restore the traditional beauty of

People of Balochistan have foremost right over Gwadar port: Nawaz Sharif
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif has said that
people of Balochistan have first and foremost right over the Gwadar port, adding
that they should be permitted to harvest all or most of its remuneration.
While addressing a conference on Gwadar, the former two-time prime minister

vowed that he will pay special attention for betterment of Baloch community.
He claimed that the development and progress of the region was the focus of his
party’s manifesto, adding that the Gwadar project was the brainchild of his previous
regime. In his view, the project will be completed within the PML-N’s next tenure in
the power.
He also explained the geographical and economic importance of the port, saying
that the construction of the coastal highway linking it to Karachi was a vital part of
the plan.
The PML-N president also took credit for formulating plans to construct Gwadar port
in 1992 and develop the region.
He observed, “The highway, which was built at a cost of Rs21 billion, is now a
national asset worth Rs220 billion, on which the government was now thinking of
issuing bonds”
He, however, said that the money should be spent on constructing new motorways
instead of utilizing the amount raised against the bonds to meet the budget deficit.
Lashing out the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP), the leader of the opposition party
lamented that national assets like motorways were being damaged through
negligence in the present government’s era.
Nawaz Sharif while hitting out at the National Highway Authority (NHA), said that it
had no other task except to loot and plunder the exchequer. In his view, this is the
reason the network of motorways was in the decaying condition in the country.
He noted, “I want to grant Gwadar a Hong Kong-like status of international acclaim,

with similar laws and economic system in place to enable it to play an efficient role
in the development of not only Balochistan, but the whole country”.
He was of the opinion that the port’s natural deep-sea could play significant role in
exporting resources to the rest of the world to economically and socially benefit the
whole country, as the region is brimming with oil, gas and other natural resources.

RECORDER REPORT
LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Muhammad Nawaz

Sharif has expressed his firm resolve to transform Gwadar into a splendid specimen
of progress and prosperity, which will become an example to the rest of the country.
He said this while addressing "Gwadar Conference" held at PML-N Secretariat,

Lahore with the cooperation of Gwadar Promotion Alliance on Monday.
The conference was also addressed by Member National Assembly Lt-Gen Abdul
Qadir Baloch (retd), Brig. Nadir Mir (retd), Col. Maqbool Afridi (retd), PML-N leader
from Gwadar Ashraf Hussain, Syed Irshad Ahmad Arif, Ijaz Ahmad Sheikh, Abrar
Niazi and Ijaz Ahmad Butt.
The meeting was attended by Sartaj Aziz, Member National Assembly Khawaja
Muhammad Asif, Senator Pervaiz Rashid, Ahsan Iqbal and Raja Ashfaq Sarwar.
The PML-N President said that they wanted to grant Gwadar a Hong Kong like
status, with similar laws and system to enable it to play an efficient role in the
development of, not only Balochistan, but in the whole country.
He said that Gwadar has tremendous potential, and Pakistan has its own industrial
base, its unique skill and technology to effectively benefit from it. Gwadar provides
expeditious and easy access to the world, upto the Central Asia. He said that the
area of Balochistan is brimming with oil, gas and other natural resources.
Nawaz said that development and progress of Gwadar is one of the most significant
aspects of PML-N's manifesto. He pointed out that this project was conceived
during PML-N's last government and would be completed within the tenure of its
next government.
According to him, the first and foremost right on Gwadar is of the people of
Balochistan; therefore, its maximum benefit should reach that province as well. He
said that, like Sindh, he will also pay special attention to the welfare of people of
Balochistan and would visit there frequently.
Nawaz highlighted the extraordinary importance of Gwadar in geographical terms,

as well as for the economic prosperity of Balochistan and Pakistan, and said that
the first government of PML-N had chalked out project of construction of Gwadar
port in 1992 for the development of the area, and building of coastal highway,
linking Gwadar to Karachi, was an integral part of that project.
792
Mon
He said that project of linking Gwadar to other areas of Balochistan was also under
implementation during his previous era. He said that roads and highways play a
fundamental role in the development and prosperity of a country, and spreading a
network of motorways, throughout the country, was reflective of that vision.
Nawaz further said that the motorway, constructed in his era, at a cost of Rs 21
billion, is now an asset worth Rs 220 billion, upon which the government is now
thinking of issuing bond.
However, he stressed, instead of utilising the amount to meet the budget deficit, this
money should be spent on constructing new motorways. He expressed his concern
that, during the era of present government, precious assets like motorway are being
damaged, whose carpeting had to be done after ten years. But, unfortunately, the
National Highway Authority (NHA) has no other task left, except to loot and plunder,
and give due share to the higher echelon, he added. He said that corroding national
assets has, sadly, become our national culture.
Talking about his previous government, PML-N President said that, during his era,
economy of Pakistan was progressing rapidly, and Pakistan's currency was one of
the strongest in South Asia. However, unfortunately, some people derail and the
whole system.
In Pakistan's chequered history governments and assemblies have been dissolved,

but during the previous era of dictatorship, even judiciary was not spared, and the
government of the day went to the extent of arresting judges of higher courts, he
added.
Speaking on the occasion, Gen. Abdul Qadir Baloch (retd) said that had the
government of Nawaz Sharif not been dismissed in 1999 the glorious Gwadar
projects would have been completed by now. However, now hundred percent
greater efforts are required to do so, as 90-percent infrastructural work is still to be
done there.
He said that Pakistan requires a national leadership, upon which the Baloch people
can have trust, and such leadership can only be provided by Nawaz Sharif.
Brig. Nadir Mir (retd) said that foreign interference has an important role in the
Gawadar issue. He suggested that Baloch leadership, and the people, should be
taken into confidence for the development of Gwadar. He stressed the need for
setting up in Lahore a special think-thank on Gwadar.
Col Maqbool Afridi (retd) opined that projects initiated by Nawaz Sharif with regard
to Gwadar, are lying incomplete, and the leadership of Nawaz Sharif is essential for
their completion as the construction of Gwadar, and progress and prosperity of
Pakistan, are interdependent.

Beijing offers Pak-China industrial park
Pakistan and China enjoy an all-weather and time-tested friendship; but this
friendship must be consolidated further by increasing mutual trade and investment.
BEIJING: China has offered to set up a Pakistan-China Friendship Industrial Park in

Donggang city, which is located in China’s northeast Liaoning province, revealed
here on Monday by Chairman Senate Standing Committee on Interior and Narcotics
Control Senator Muhammad Talha Mahmood, who is also leading a trade
delegation to the country.
Senator Talha said that a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in this regard has
been initialled, but would be concluded upon the Donggang City delegation’s visit to
Pakistan later this year.
He said a delegation of Donggang traders has also been invited to visit Pakistan to
further talks on this project and for looking into the possibilities of investment in
Pakistan. “Pakistan and China,” he said, “enjoy an all-weather and time-tested
friendship; but this friendship must be consolidated further by increasing mutual
trade and investment.”
Earlier, Donggang Vice-Mayor Zhang Tao said the visit of the trade delegation was
very productive. He termed the signing of the MoU for the setting up of the Pak-
China Friendship Industrial Park a very important step in mutual cooperation.
Pakistan’s Ambassador to China Masood Khan said that in the last four years, trade
volume between Pakistan and China has increased to $10.6 billion; and Pakistani
exports to China have doubled to $2.2 billion. “China is contributing in a big way to
address Pakistan’s energy crisis,” Ambassador Khan said; adding that after hydro,
nuclear and coal projects, Chinese entrepreneurs are now also investing in wind
and solar energy.
“Investment inflows have also gone up. The time is ripe for deeper engagement
between private enterprises of the two countries,” he said.
A delegation from Punjab led by MPA Muhammad Arshad, and comprising high-
level government officers including Secretary Agriculture Punjab, which is currently
in China to explore possibilities of cooperation in the energy and agriculture sectors,
was also invited to the reception. Relating his experiences, Arshad said his
delegation had held useful meetings with relevant Chinese departments and hoped
that this interaction would bear fruitful results for Pakistan.

Gas import: Iran to lay Pakistan’s portion of pipeline
Working committee formed to finalise terms of agreement.

ISLAMABAD: Avoiding pressure from the United States, Pakistan and Iran have
committed to press ahead with the gas pipeline project and constituted a joint
working committee to finalise a deal for laying Pakistan’s portion of the pipeline by
Tehran.
Iran has also offered to set up an oil refinery in Pakistan. Earlier, it had discussed a
plan to lay an oil pipeline to Gwadar where a refinery would be set up to process
crude oil.
Until one and a half years ago, two Pakistani refineries had been importing Iranian
crude oil on three-month credit, but supply stopped afterwards as banks showed
796
Wed
reluctance to open letters of credit following imposition of US sanctions on Tehran.
According to sources, these developments came during two days of talks in

Islamabad, which concluded on Wednesday.
Sources told The Express Tribune that Iranian authorities reiterated their resolve to
provide technical and financial help for constructing the gas pipeline.
“A joint working group has been formed to consider different options for Iran to lay
the pipeline,” a source said, adding Tehran had already committed to provide $250
million and was willing to arrange more financing through Chinese commercial
banks.
“The working group will also discuss the option of financing offered by Iran,” the
source said. German-based firm ILF has completed detailed engineering design of
the pipeline and according to an interim feasibility report, the project will cost $1.2
billion to $1.5 billion.
“If local companies participate in the project, the cost will come down and if foreign
firms undertake the venture the cost will go up. There is also an option under which
local and Iranian companies will join hands to complete the project,” the source
said.
“Though Iran is an option to strike deal on government-to-government basis, we are

also discussing the construction of the pipeline with China and Russia,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Pakistan-Iran joint committee on oil, gas and energy held a meeting
on July 17 and 18 in Islamabad to discuss bilateral cooperation in oil and gas
sectors.
The Iranian team was headed by Dr Ahmad Khalidi, Deputy Minister of Internal
Affairs, Ministry of Petroleum while Pakistani team was led by Abid Saeed,
Additional Secretary Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Resources.
The Iranian side expressed its intention to invest in hydrocarbon exploration and
production including upstream and midstream sectors. It also invited Pakistani
companies to invest in oil and gas exploration and production in Iran.

Pakistan-Ukraine trade relations
August 24, 2012 RECORDER REPORT 0 Comments

The dawn of Ukrainian-Pakistani bilateral relations goes back to the former Soviet
Union times, when Soviet experts, the vast majority of whom were Ukrainians,
assisted to develop the key industries and national economy of Pakistan in
1960-70's. The Karachi Steel Mills, which remains largest in Pakistan, a number of
powerful hydro stations in Tarbella, Kalabakh were built in this period, as well as the
large park of Ukraine agricultural machinery, trucks was made here in Pakistan.
After getting independence, Ukraine jointly with Pakistan assembled and

subsequently took over the maintenance of the main battle tank "Al Khalid" which
has export potential. The current stage of relations between Ukraine and Pakistan
can be characterised as a dynamic process, which bases on the traditionally high
level understanding in political, military, trade, economic areas and effective co-
operation within international organisations. Both countries wish to expand and
deepen mutually beneficial relations, so the main priority now is to use an existing
positive experience of bilateral co-operation in civilian spheres, for intensification of
political dialogue, boosting legal framework, creating auspicious conditions for
functioning of business organisations at the markets of both countries etc. In this
respect Ukraine is ready to play its part in the development of Pakistan and would
welcome any efforts to search new approaches for co-operation and expending ties
with Pakistan in various sectors.
The total trade turnover between both the countries in 2010 was $168.2 with
exports from Ukraine to Pakistan $113 and imports from Pakistan to Ukraine $55.2.
In 2011 the volume of total trade turnover between Pakistan and Ukraine was
$251.9 among which the total exports from Ukraine to Pakistan was $183.7 and
import from Pakistan to Ukraine was $68.2.
The urgent task for both sides is to create more favourable conditions for building
up mutually beneficial business co-operation. Primarily, it refers to the intensification
of political contacts, the formation of a proper legal base for co-operation in the
spheres of trade, investments, finance, transport, launching a fruitful inter-regional,
cross-industry co-operation.
One of the most important steps on this road is a development of the legal
framework and bilateral mechanisms of our co-operation. The relations between
Ukraine and Pakistan are likely to get more dynamics with approval of various
agreements, conventions and setting up of commissions. These efforts would not
only bring both the countries closer but would also assist in making them close
partners to achieve economic prosperity and stability.
In January 2011, the Agreement between the Government of Ukraine and the
Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan on trade and economic co-
operation entered into force, in June 2011 _ the Convention between the
Government of Ukraine and the Government of Pakistan on the Avoidance of
Double Taxation.
At last Ukraine and Pakistan managed to complete a necessary legal base for the
creation of the Ukraine-Pakistani Commission on Economic Co-operation. On July
25, 2012 the Intergovernmental Agreement on Establishment of Joint Ukrainian-
Pakistani Commission on Economic Co-operation was signed. After the
establishment of the Commission the trade relations and economic ties between
both the countries would grow further.
We believe the bilateral Commission on economic co-operation could be a key

instrument of co-operation in the economic sphere. There are few other important
805
Fri
draft documents under consideration of both sides: the Agreement for the
Promotion and Reciprocal Protection of Investment; MoU for Collaboration and Co-
operation in the field of Agriculture; the Agreement about mutual recognition of
documents on higher education, scientific degrees and academic titles; the
Agreement on Co-operation in the field of Education etc.
In order to promote contacts between entrepreneurs of both countries, there were

created the Ukrainian-Pakistani trade and information centers in Islamabad and
Karachi, as well as Ukrainian-Pakistani Business Council at the Federation of
Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industries. In October 2011 the Honorary
Consul of Ukraine was appointed in business capital and main industrial center of
Pakistan - the city of Karachi.
A visit to Ukraine of the delegation of Pakistani business circles headed by the

Chairman of the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan T.I.Puri held on 06-10
December 2011 has contributed to the intensification of bilateral economic co-
operation. The delegation consisted of more than 30 businessmen, represented the
following business areas: steel imports, export-import operations, pharmaceutical,
textile and leather industries, telecommunications, hydrocarbons production,
agriculture etc.
In March 2012 the Ukrainian part of Ukrainian-Pakistan Business Council was

established. Its delegation visited the city of Karachi on 21-24 May 2012 at the
invitation of the Pakistani side. During the said visit it was signed an Agreement
establishing the Joint Business Council between the Ukrainian Chamber of
Commerce and The Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce & Industry.
Pakistani companies have been actively promoting their products on the Ukrainian
market. Thus, in 2011 the growth of Pakistani exports to Ukraine continued
(according to the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine _ by 23.5%). This trend has
been observed in recent years. It appears that Pakistani products are of higher
quality and cheaper than their competitors' ones and that is the key to their success
in the Ukrainian market.
Ukraine is interested in importing from Pakistan consumer goods that are of high
demand in Ukrainian market. Shortage of electric power generating capacity is one
of the key problems constraining the economic growth in Pakistan. As one of the
leading producers of electricity in Europe, Ukraine has important experience in
development of power generating capacity and building up the electricity
infrastructure, and is interested in being engaged in such projects.
Producers of both countries do not compete on domestic and foreign markets. At

the same time, our economic and trade co-operation is mutually beneficial and
complementary. So, the urgent task for both sides is to create more favourable
conditions for building up mutually beneficial business co-operation. Primarily, it
refers to the intensification of political contacts, the further development of a proper
legal base for trade-economic, financial, transport, launching a fruitful inter-regional,
cross-industry co-operation.

Strong Pak-China relations momentum: Masood Khan
BEIJING - Pakistan’s Ambassador to China, Masood Khan has said the

momentum between China and Pakistan relations is very strong.
During an interview with China’s biggest web portal, china.org.cn he said both the
countries need to maintain this momentum and work harder to take their
relationship to new heights. He said economic cooperation, cultural exchanges, and
particularly the relations between the people of the two countries should be
enhanced.
Ambassador Khan said in the past few years, the two sides have maintained
vigorous high-level political dialogue. In the past four years, the President of
Pakistan has visited China nine times and former Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza
Gilani visited China five times.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visited Pakistan in December 2010, Vice Premier
Zhang Dejiang visited in June 2010 and State Councilor Dai Bingguo visited in
December 2011.
He said the newly elected Prime Minister, Raja Pervez Ashraf, will visit China later
this month to attend the World Economic Forum New Champions meeting taking
place in Tianjin. But this visit is also very important because he will be able to meet
the Chinese leadership and further strengthen bilateral ties, he added.
Ambassador Khan said that towards China there is continuity in Pakistan’s foreign
policy. The new Prime Minister will build on the strong foundation we have, to
consolidate what we have already achieved and to help move this relationship to
new heights, he said.
A decade ago, the total volume of Pakistan-China trade was only about US$2
billion. But in 2011, the total volume of bilateral trade reached US$10.6 billion. In
the past four years overall Pakistan-China trade increased by 70 per cent; whereas
Pakistan’s exports to China have doubled to US$ 2.2 billion.
"It is encouraging," Khan said. "In 2010, there was an increase of 37 percent and
last year we saw [an increase of] 22 percent," he maintained.
China became Pakistan's largest trading partner in 2011. Pakistan is currently
China's second largest trade partner in South Asia. Both the countries have set a
goal for US$15 billion in bilateral trade by 2015. The present volume of trade is not
high enough," Khan said, "we need to work harder to expand, deepen and diversify
our economic and trade relations.”
He said that both sides are working to fully utilize their free trade agreements on
goods, investment and services they signed between 2006 and 2009. "We have
requested the Chinese government and private sector to help us strengthen our
capacity in processing and manufacturing, textiles, leather products, garments, and
also in the light engineering sector," he said.
The Ambassador said that cross-infrastructure development is a priority for
governments of Pakistan and China. The Karakoram Highway is being upgraded
and plans are being considered to explore a rail link between Khunjerab and
Havelian and to establish a fiber link. An advanced infrastructure and
communication network will revolutionize investment and trade in the adjoining
regions of Pakistan and China as well as the region.
According to the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, a three-member Chinese
delegation recently visited Pakistan to conclude an agreement to order 100 tons of
Pakistani mangoes. "We are thankful to the Chinese government that they have
sent official Chinese missions to go to Pakistan, and identified a product that can
find a market here in China." Khan said.
Cooperation is also continuing with China in the field of agriculture with a focus on
development of hybrid seeds of cotton, corn, wheat and rapeseed oil, he said.
China and Pakistan decided to establish agricultural technology demonstration
zones in Pakistan during Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's visit to Pakistan in
December 2010. This is an important step that would revolutionize agricultural
production and trade in the region, he said.
Asked about the recent strain in the Pakistan-US relations following attack on a
Pakistani border post by US/NATO troops, Khan said our bilateral relations are
back on track adding that engagement is now taking place at all levels.
Khan maintained that Pakistan and the US have had a long history of close
relations, despite ups and downs. It is important that Pakistan's sovereignty,
807
Sun
territorial integrity and independence are respected. Best inter-state relations are
based on the principles of mutual respect, mutual trust and mutual benefit, he said.
Turning to Afghanistan, Khan said that Pakistan supports Afghanistan’s efforts to
create conditions of peace, stability and prosperity. He said Pakistan has been
contributing to the economic reconstruction of Afghanistan. Pakistan attaches
highest importance to the initiation of an intra-Afghanistan dialogue to ascertain the
wishes of the Afghan people.
But, he said, such a dialogue as well as national reconciliation process should be
Afghan-led and Afghan-owned. Afghanistan’s immediate neighbors, especially
China have a special responsibility in this regard. Recently, Afghanistan, Pakistan
and China have established a trilateral mechanism to coordinate their positions.
The establishment of the platform is for the three countries to enhance friendly
cooperation and maintain regional peace and stability.
He said the war against terrorism has caused devastation in Afghanistan and in the
bordering Pakistan territory. International community’s help in the reconstruction of
these areas is very important. China is already playing a very constructive role by
investing in Afghanistan and Pakistan, he added.
In addition, Khan said, we appreciate SCO’s support for efforts to promote peace
and stability in Afghanistan. Afghanistan was on the agenda of the last SCO
summit. An SCO Contact Group has also been reviewing developments in
Afghanistan.

Alternate energy goals met, nearly
ISLAMABAD - The Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) Chief Executive

Arif Alauddin hoped that 500 megawatt (MW) of electricity will be added to the
national grid during the next few months.
While talking to the official TV channel, he said that a number of projects were in
the pipeline to overcome the energy crisis in the country which would provide relief
to the people.
He said his board was mandated only to attract private sector investment while the
government sector was meant only to regulate and facilitate the process.
He further said that Pakistan was relying heavily on fossil fuels to meet its energy
requirements and the nation was spending more than $ 11 billion on the import of
petroleum products every year.
He added that it would increase to $ 38 billion by 2015 which would further
increase the strategic risk for Pakistan as it was heavily dependent on the fuel for its
vital services.
He said that after the establishment of the AEDB in 2003, Pakistan had made
considerable progress in this field.
While replying to a question, he said that the AEDB recently approved New Park
Energy Phase I, a 400-MW wind project near Port Qasim. With the help of China 3
Gorges Corporation, a 50 MW wind energy plan at Jhimpir in Sindh would be
completed next year.
The wind power pilot project had been made operational by installing a wind turbine
at Daman-i-Koh in Islamabad, he added.
The AEDB Chairman said that recently a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
had been signed at the second two-day meeting of Pak-China Joint Energy Group
(JEWG) for setting up wind energy projects with the initial accumulative capacity of
550MW. Moreover, the government had also created a fund to mainstream and
implement alternative energy technologies in the country.
As per the breakup, 340,000 MW could be generated from the wind energy,
2,900,000 from solar power, 50,000 MW from hydro energy (large), 3,100 MW from
hydro energy (Small), 1800 MW from biogas cogeneration, 500 MW from waste
materials while 550 MW could be generated from geothermal energy sources, he
added.
In reply to another question, he said that a number of countries had successfully
developed renewable energy sources based on wind, solar, biomass, geothermal,
ocean tides and bio-fuels to minimize their dependence on fossil fuels.
He said that currently 11 wind projects of 556 MW of accumulative capacity had
reached an advanced stage of completion and some of these would start supplying
electricity by the end of this year, whereas the others would be functional by 2013.
He also said that the government was determined to overcome the energy crisis in
the country and had taken several measures in the past in this regard and had been
carrying on several new measures to provide relief to the common man and help
boost industry in the country.
He further said that the government had initiated a fast track scheme to develop
additional 1582.4 MW through private sector which would be commissioned by
December 2013, adding that nine solar PV projects of 228 MW were also under
development.
He added that the government had also taken measures to promote use of solar
applications that include solar systems, solar water heaters and solar water pumps
in the country.
According to him, Pakistan had been currently building solar power plants in Azad
Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan and the program was
launched in collaboration by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)
of China and private sector energy companies of Pakistan.
He mentioned that in May this year, Pakistan had stepped forth by inaugurating the
first ever solar power on-grid power plant in Islamabad, adding that over 12,000
solar water heater and 754 solar water pumps were imported to introduce the new
technology besides reducing dependency on national grid station.
Efforts were also being made to convince the owners of sugar mills to use cane
waste for power generation and two units of 34 MW were operational and three new
projects were in advance stages, the chairman said.

China to take charge of Pakistan’s Gwadar Port
BEIJING - Ahead of Pakistan's Premier Raja Pervez Ashraf's visit, China on

Tuesday tacitly confirmed reports that it was taking charge of the strategic Gwadar
deep water port in Balochistan, which may then be converted into an oil pipeline
hub to augment energy supplies from the Gulf.
Talking about Pakistan's Shipping Minister Babar Khan Ghauri's remarks that
China may take charge of the port operations with USD 10 billion investment,
following pullout of Singapore Port Authority (SPA); Chinese Foreign Ministry
spokesman Hong Lei said both countries are engaged in cooperation to build
infrastructure projects.
"China and Pakistan are neighbours of traditional friendship. Over the years, China
and Pakistan have engaged in wide-ranging cooperation in all fields including
infrastructure construction with a view to helping Pakistan improve people's well-
being and promote social and economic development," Hong said in a written
response to a query.
"Such cooperation is also beneficial for regional stability and development," he
said, without directly referring to Babar's comments.
He also did not say whether the issue would be discussed during Pakistan PM's
visit who is due attend the World Economic Forum 2012, also known as Summer
Davos, starting from September 11 at Tianjin city.
The forum would be inaugurated by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, who is expected

Rich potential for Pak value added goods in China: Zhang Wei
URUMQI - Pakistan's value-added products envisaged rich potential to get

business in China and correct the balance of trade between the two countries, said
Zhang Wei, a senior commercial officer of the local government of Xinjiang
Autonomous Region.
“ We love to buy Pakistani products, provided they meet the required quality
standards", he said while talking to newsmen here Tuesday at the 2nd Eurasia
expo, in which Pakistan has displayed its products, including carpets and mineral-
goods. He noted Pakistan is much ahead of producing value-added items and it
could easily compete in international market. Pakistan’s garments, leather-made
products and handicrafts could get good business in the Chinese market as well, he
added.
He proposed that Pakistan’s major industrial Houses should set up their
representative offices in China to regulate their business. Besides, Pakistan should
also hire Chinese-speaking staff to project their goods, he suggested. It is also
imperative that Pakistani entrepreneurs should be well-versed of the Chinese
business’s laws and regulations. Merely, participating in trade fairs will not be
enough, he remarked.

Pakistan has already entered in second phase of FTA with China that allows a
large number of value added textile products duty free exports to China including
readymade garments to China.
A Pakistani businessman Muhammad Hanif who has put up his stall at the expo
also claims that there is tremendous potential in the value-added garment sector,
such as, trousers, pullovers, cotton blousers for women, socks, towels, bed linen,
etc. Depending on export of just raw material will not help to achieve the desired
results, he said.
A lot of idle benefits have to be utilized from the FTA before entreating for more
concessions. In the Fishing sector, China has already started buying more quantity
with high value products like cuttlefish, scads and shrimp from Pakistan.
Five years ago China was not on the list of Pakistan’s top 10 export destinations.
Now it ranks fourth after the US, the UAE and Afghanistan, while the bilateral trade
ranks third just behind the UAE and the US if the value of trade is computed on
balance of payments format.
The signing of an accord during last visit of former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza
Gilani to Beijing, on opening up of two bank branches — one of a Chinese bank in
Pakistan and the other of our National Bank in China — is also good step forward to
spur bilateral trade.

All Day Steps to maximise benefits of Pak-China FTA proposed -- BR
Steps to maximise benefits of Pak-China FTA proposed
September 07, 2012 RECORDER REPORT 0 Comments

The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has proposed several measures to maximise
the benefits from Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Pakistan and China by
creating conducive environment to attract more investment from China in industrial,
agriculture and energy sectors.
The FBR on Thursday issued a report on the "Pak-China Free Trade Agreement:
Prospects and Challenges" suggesting that Pakistan should focus on modern
techniques for maintaining better quality and higher yield in agriculture sector. It
further suggested that the government should make a comprehensive plan to
diversify exports. Pakistan should ensure quality, efficiency and cost minimisation
particularly in textile sector. The FBR has further proposed construction of rail track
from China to Gwadar port, which would be beneficial in all respects.
The FBR said that during last four years trade patterns have changed. Pakistan's
imports from Iran have declined by 50% and USA by 11% in 2011-12 as compared
to 2007-08. On the other hand very significant growth ie 243 percent in imports from
Afghanistan has been noted. Similarly, a substantial growth in imports has been
witnessed from China (109 percent), UAE (221 percent) and India (34 percent).
On the exports side some healthy changes have been noticed like Pakistan's
exports to China and Afghanistan have increased by 357 percent and 188 percent
respectively during the period 2007-08 to 2011-12, report added. The item-wise
data indicate that imports from China in terms of value of 25 items have increased
significantly during fiscal 2004-05 and fiscal 2011-12. It includes electrical
machinery, fertilisers, iron and steel & articles of iron and steel, man-made filaments
& staple fibres, vegetables, paper & paperboard. The import of these items as raw
materials are important both for industrial and agriculture sectors of Pakistan.
Pak-China Free Trade Agreement (FTA) has been helpful in changing the
geographical composition of Pakistani exports. Earlier in 2007-08 Pakistan's major
export destination was USA with more than 17% share, followed by UAE (9.5
percent), Afghanistan (5.2 percent), UK (4.8 percent), Germany (3.8 percent) and
China (3.3 percent) at number seven.
In 2011-12 the share of China has increased to 9.4 percent. Another desired
change is the rising share of exports to Afghanistan ie 9.2 percent from just 0.1
percent in 2004-05. More exports to neighbouring countries not only reduce the
transportation cost, but also help strengthen economic and political ties in the
region, FBR said.
Under the FTA between Pakistan-China, the volume of free trade which was only
12% in 2004-05 has gradually reached to 45 percent in 2011-12. In rupee terms the
volume of free trade increased from Rs 14 billion in 2004-05 to Rs 271.4 billion in
2011-12. After the enforcement of FTA, the expected loss due to reduction in rates
of customs duty has largely been compensated by the increase in the volume of
trade.
It is evident, Rs 17.5 billion were collected under the head of customs duty in
2006-07, whereas this collection grew to Rs 36.5 billion in 2011-12. Similarly, other
taxes like sales and withholding tax have also risen during the same period. The
collection of sales tax has increased from Rs 12.8 billion in 2004-05 to Rs 51.6
billion in 2011-12 and withholding taxes rose from merely Rs 97 million to Rs 20.4
billion.
So far the impact of free trade on revenue, due to trade creation or trade diversion
is positive, which is of course encouraging sign. Therefore, it is projected if this
trend of higher trade volume continues; there will be no revenue loss in future.
Nonetheless, if there is any loss on revenue front it will be compensated through
other gains in shape of more exports, cheaper imports, investments, job creation in
814
Fri
local labour market etc, FBR added.
The report said that the preliminary assessment reveals that there are various
issues involved in the Pak-China FTA. As a whole the volume of trade between two
countries has increased significantly. China has become the second largest import
destination and third largest export partner of Pakistan during last five years after
the implementation FTA. Trade creation and trade diversion has also been
witnessed.
Moreover, due to the increased imports from China the tax revenue has also grown
substantially. However, on the other hand there are various issues involved making
FTA less effective as it should have been. It is a fact that there is a huge gap
between the size of the two economies, level of industrial development and
infrastructure.
The economies of scale of Pakistan and China are unmatchable given the structure
of industrial production of the two countries. Pakistani exports are mainly raw
materials, whereas its imports are comprised of value added manufactured
commodities. Up to now the trade between two countries is tilted in the favour of
China. China's exports to Pakistan constitute more than 20% of its imports;
Pakistan's exports to China constitute only 0.13% of Chinese imports.
The under-invoicing is another grey area causing loss to the exchequer along with
other threats to the economy. There is a huge discrepancy, amounting to billions of
rupees, between the data on Pak-China trade provided by the International Trade
Center and local sources. There is a need to immediately review the existing
systems and technologies used for clearance at the ports. The strengthening of
audit and a better risk management system can also be helpful, report said.
The FBR further said that Pakistan has a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement
with China covering Trade in Goods, Investments and Trade in Services. Country
like Pakistan needs foreign investment to boost up the economy. Major challenge
faced by the Pakistan economy is the declining FDI.
In this regard the Pak-China FTA should have been an opportunity to attract
investors from China, but unfortunately the level of investment from China also
remained low. Whereas, it is believed that investments in the industrial sector could
help reduce the growing trade imbalance.
Pakistan attempted to persuade the Chinese side, from both public and private
spheres, to bring in investments along with their goods to make the trade
partnership sustainable and create a win-win situation. But it looks that Pakistan
could not attract much the private or public investment, one possible reason may be
the law & order situation in the country.
The common perception in the Pakistani business community is that the Chinese
private and public sectors are not interested in investing in areas that could enable
Pakistan to create an export surplus for Chinese markets as well as other
destinations. Rather, they contend, Chinese entrepreneurs simply want to sell
products and make quick profits while based in China and do not seem to be
interested in generating profits from Pakistan through joint ventures of private
foreign ownerships. If this perception is correct then there is a need to find out the
causes and to remove them for wider benefits.
One of the major challenges is the widening trade deficit and deteriorating terms of
trade. During last five years bilateral trade has expanded, but the balance of trade
remained in favour of China. The possible reasons could be the lower potential of
our export oriented sectors, low quality (not meeting the international standards),
sever energy crisis and high cost of production.
Pakistan economy largely depends on exports and particularly textile related

exports, which is more than 60% of total exports. Competition for exports is very
tough in global market and Pakistani exporters face difficulties in finding sustainable
markets particularly in Europe.
815
Fri
Moreover, it is costly to trade with countries located faraway. Hence Pak-China FTA
is a good opportunity for Pakistani exporters; they should concentrate Chinese
market for finished products and also for import of cheap machinery. Pakistan's
export base is very narrow and skewed towards few items and destinations for long
time. Ma

decision by the government to hand over management of Gwadar deep-water port
to China following the pull-out of Singapore’s PSA International.
Willingness on the part of Beijing to take control of the port will encourage
investment and professional handling of port operations. It will bring two countries
closer and promote social and economic development, it said.
Gwadar is close to the Strait of Hormuz through which much of the Gulf’s oil
exports are carried to other countries while converting it into an oil pipeline hub best
suit Chinese interests, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.
Since Pakistan is unable to exploit opportunities in strategically important port of
Gwadar, the decision seems only option which will also open new economic
opportunities for people of Balochistan in shape of around $10 billion Chinese
investments, he added.
Mughal said that this will be another major Chinese contribution to the development
of Pakistan’s infrastructure construction which is part of Beijing’s continued
commitment to support their friends become self-reliant.
Both the friendly countries and all-weather allies will stand beneficial from a deal on
country’s only deep water and transhipment port from strategic and economic stand
points, he observed.
It may be mentioned that Gwadar was developed by the Chinese government at a
cost of $288 million which was later handed over to SPA International under a 40-
year agreement in 2007 for management, operations, maintenance and
development.
However, SPA and its partners could not fulfil contractual obligations including
investment of $775 million due to some reasons.
Mughal demanded of the government to offer tax exemptions, complete highways
network and take steps to safeguard Chinese investments as no other country will
be willing to invest in mega projects in Pakistan due to a variety of reasons
including adverse Western sentiments.
China is a trustworthy friend and has always supported Pakistan against all odds

Group, a leading Chinese multinational company, who called on him in Tianjin. The
meeting was held on the side-lines of World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of
New Champions in China’s port city.
Raja told the Inspur CEO that there was a growing demand for advanced
technology in Pakistan. He urged him to benefit from the country’s investment-
friendly environment by introducing new projects.
The Chinese executive briefed the prime minister about his company’s projects and
said it wanted to invest in setting up high-performance computer centres in Pakistan
at a cost of $20 million. He said the company was already working with Telenor in
Pakistan and intended to expand its network related to communication and
technology, in other areas as well.
Meanwhile, the prime minister told media persons that the next general elections
would be held on time.
He said an impartial and consensus election commissioner was appointed despite
the propaganda by the adversaries. The prime minister said independent judiciary,
unprejudiced election commission and unfettered media were clear signal of a
positive change in the country. Vowing to hold the general elections on its stipulated
time, the PM noted an effort was being made to create ambiguity by spreading
reports about delaying the process.

All Day Urea shipment reaches Gwadar port -- BR
RECORDER REPORT
KARACHI: Two consignments of urea, imported by Trading Corporation of Pakistan
(TCP) to meet demand in Rabi season, have reached Gwadar Port.
In August this year, the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet
asked TCP to import 0.3 million tons of urea to avoid any shortage during Rabi crop
as the domestic urea plants were unable to produce commodity due to gas
curtailment.
Following the ECC directives, TCP successfully opened tender for urea import on
August 27, 2012 and finally awarded the contract letters to four international
suppliers, which were agreed to supply urea at lowest price of $399.38 per ton.
Out of 12 participants, M/s Key Trade AG Switzerland offered the lowest price of $
399.38 per ton for 100,000 tons and accordingly got contracts letter. To complete
the procurement of total targeted quantity of 300,000 tons, TCP invited other
bidders to match the lowest bid, hence the import contracts for balance quantity
were awarded to three other bidders namely M/s Dreymoor Fertilizer Overseas
(PTE) Ltd, Singapore for 100,000 tons, M/s CHS Europe, Switzerland for 50,000
tons and M/s Transammonia AG Switzerland, for 50,000 tons.
As per schedule, submitted by the successful bidders, the two ships namely
“Mandrin Glory” and “Marie Paul” carrying about 50,733 tons and 47,640 tons urea,
respectively has reached Gwadar Port and both ships are now under discharge
port.
Sources said another ship Namely Shan Dong Hai Tong carrying some 52,447 tons
of urea has also arrived at FAP. In addition, three more ships are expected to reach
Pakistan in first and second week of October 2012. With timely arrival of first
consignment, it seems that TCP will complete urea import operation in specified
time period to avoid any shortage in Rabi season. “Urea operation, being conducted
by TCP, is likely to be completed in third week of October 2012,” they added.

All Day Chinese state firm takes control of Pakistani port -- VANCOUVER
A Chinese state-owned company is taking over the management and development
of Pakistan's economically and militarily strategic Gwadar Port after a Singaporean
company pulled out of its 40-year contract.
The developments are being closely followed in India and the United States, where
China's interest in Gwadar is viewed as part of Beijing's acquisition of access to
several ports across Asia as bases for its increasingly assertive navy, known as its
"string of pearls strategy."
Gwadar, in Pakistan's western Balochistan province close to the border with Iran, is
indeed a strategic location.
It is close to the Strait of Hormuz, gateway to the oil terminals of the Middle East,
but also overlooks all the major ship-ping lanes linking Asia, Africa and Europe.
Over 60 per cent of global trade and oil shipments travel the waters over-looked by
Gwadar Port.
And if ever Afghanistan opts for peace and economic development instead of
stupidity and civil war, Gwadar is the perfect terminus for trade with Central Asia.
So why then did the Port of Singapore Authority (PSA), one of the most
professional, experienced and highly regarded port management companies
anywhere which operates 20 ports in 11 countries, pull out of its 2007 contract?
The explanations being offered of why this potential gem of a project is now being
to the China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) are simple.
The PSA pulled out of the 40-year contract after it was unable to fulfil its obligation
to invest $775 million in development of a duty-free industrial zone attached to the
port.
This investment couldn't be made because the Pakistan government failed to

arrange the transfer to the port of 236 hectares of land owned by the Pakistan
Navy.
This dispute between the federal government in Islamabad and the Pakistan Navy,
with the Balochistan provincial government occasionally intervening from the
sidelines, has pre-vented development of the port for five years.
So, it is quite understandable that the PSA eventually threw up its hands in
frustration.
Pakistan's various military wings are just as much business operations as they are
fighting forces.
The Pakistan Navy acquired ownership of the 236 hectares next door to Gwadar
Port some years ago in payment from the Balochistan government for unspecified
services.
It should be kept in mind that since development of the port started 10 years ago
land values in the area have risen dramatically and there have been huge scandals
about people and institutions, including Islamabad government ministers, who have
acquired land around Gwadar at artificially low prices.
So Pakistan's Navy has dug in its toes, noted that it was never consulted when its
land, known as Shamba Ismail, was incorporated in the Gwadar development plan,
and insists it wants 405 hectares of land at Pishukan, the other side of West Bay
from Gwadar Port, in compensation.
A deal along those lines will probably be done in the end.
China has shown by its march into Africa and other unattractive markets that it has
826
Mon
a higher threshold for risk and capacity for operating in inclement business climates
than many other nations.
Gwadar is potentially of great strategic economic importance to China in addition to

its attractions as a naval base.
China has a common border with northern Pakistan. Trucking routes and oil and
gas pipe-lines can span Pakistan from Gwadar into China's far western Xinjiang
province if and when peace and security come to the region.
Iran has already built a gas pipeline from its massive Pars fields up to the border
with Pakistan. China is interested in a trans-Pakistan spur line into Xinjiang.
At the moment 60 per cent of China's imported oil comes from the Middle East and
80 per cent of that goes through the Malacca Strait between Singapore and
Indonesia.
China is paranoid that in the event of conflict, the United States could close down
this choke point.
To avoid the strait China is already building a pipe-line across Burma to the Bay of
Bengal and pipelines from Gwadar to Xinjiang would also calm China's security
fears.
And China is no stranger to the Gwadar Port development. Indeed, China put $220
mil-lion into the first phase of the project, which includes three berths with 600
metres of quay, a 100-metre service berth and 4.4 kilometres of deepwater
anchorage roads, and which was constructed by Chinese companies.
Now CHEC as the new operator is contracting to put $10 billion into the next
phases of development and there is speculation that Beijing may revive a $12 billion
oil refinery project which was shelved in 2009.

All Day Pak-China trade ties to go to a new high Punjab Governor launches
Nanchuan Industrial Park Business Centre -- Pakistan One
LAHORE, Punjab Governor Sardar Latif Khosa has said that the Qinghai Business
Development Centre in provincial capital will take trade relations between Pakistan
and China to new heigh by exploring opportunities for joint ventures in industry as
well as trade.
He was addressing the launching ceremony of Nanchuan Industrial Park Business

Development Centre in Lahore on Sunday at Raiwind Road.
Governor said that the Business Development Centre has been set up to connect
thousands of Pakistani entrepreneurs with leading Chinese entrepreneurs and
investors to exchange experiences and discuss business trends, leading to ultimate
investment in both countries.
While assuring his all-out support to the industry, the governor said that promotion
of commercial activities is of supreme importance for economic stability in the
country and the federal government has adopted a comprehensive economic policy.

development and progress of the country adding that the federal government
attached top priority to facilitate businessmen and resolve their problems.
Director General of Nanchuan Industrial Park in Xining city of Qinghai province,

All Day Fit for business: Japan may set up automobile supply chain in Pakistan --
APP
LAHORE:
Declared by Japan as ‘fit for business’, the first ever Japanese business delegation,
visited Pakistan last week to spot hidden opportunities to inject investments in three
major sectors among which the automobile sector intrigued them the most, not only
due to emerging potential of the market but also due to geopolitical location of
country on the world map, which Japan seeks to tap for expansion of their
automobile supply chain via land routes to access Central Asia in the future.
“Pakistan is blessed with some wonderful ports, among which Gwadar port is the
best due to its location, if the Pakistani government makes efforts on infrastructural
development to link its land routes to neighbouring countries, then we may export
our automobiles from Pakistan to other Central Asian states in near future”, said
Daisuke Hiratsuka, vice chairman of Japan External Trade Organization (Jetro), in
an interview with The Express Tribune.
Hiratsuka left Pakistan on Thursday night along with a fifty-member delegation, who
visited Pakistan to seek potential investment opportunities. Jetro is a non-profit
official trade and investment promotion agency working under the aegis of the
Government of Japan. The delegation visited Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore and
Sialkot to meet with business groups and government officials. Hiratsuka declared
Pakistan “the best in the region” for foreign investment but urged Pakistani
government to patch up some of its investment policies for long-term plans.
Expressing his feelings, Hiratsuka clearly showed his interest in injecting
investments to establish automobile accessories units in Pakistan. “The
investments in accessories and supply chain network will not only help improve the
supply chain of the Japanese automobile industry but will also generate
employment opportunities and initiate a gradual shift of technology to Pakistan,” he
said. The local industries attached indirectly with the automotive industry will also
benefit hence; assisting manufacturers in slashing prices in this part of the region
gradually, Hiratsuka added.
“We are looking to capture the emerging market of automobiles in Pakistan and the
Central Asian states via land routes of Pakistan, however, this will not be possible
without technology transfer to Pakistan”, he added.
Hiratsuka also expressed his interest in retail services and logistics along with its
supporting industries after successfully venturing their investment in the local
automobile sector. “We have observed a huge potential in these sectors and we will
definitely go for it,” he said. He also pointed out the potential for electronic products
in Pakistan. When asked if Japan was interested in importing agriculture products
from Pakistan or invest in the sector, Hiratsuka said that the standard of fruits,
vegetables or other commodities varies between two countries. “This was a large-
scale project which needs time, research and huge capital influx to set up the
supply network, we have not worked fully on this segment yet,” he added.
“We need only one Japanese investor to enter the Pakistani market, the rest will
follow him for sure,” he said.
“The negative perception of Pakistan due to media reports needs to be changed in
Japan, I am sure this will not be our only visit to Pakistan,” he said. Pakistani
entrepreneurs were hardworking; people and have the potential. The foreign
investment policies of Pakistan are the best compared with its neighbours. All these
things impressed me and my fellow members and we are hopeful to return back to
Pakistan with some initial investments, Hiratsuka added.

All Day Gwadar cooperation opens up Central Asia to global marketplace
There have been hot discussions since Pakistan decided in September to provide
operational control of the Gwadar port to China.
The decision has been welcomed by many in Pakistan and is seen as a giant step
in further consolidating Pakistan-China friendship. With its critical strategic location,
the port provides the shortest possible sea route to the Central Asian republics and
connects the Middle East with China, Central Asia and Russia.
In 2007, operational control of the port was given to Singaporean company PSA
International for 40 years, but the firm could not fulfill the commitments made, and
decided to pull out.
Much of the world's oil moves through the Strait of Hormuz, close to Gwadar, giving
it the potential to be turned into an energy hub.
China is heavily dependent on oil from the Gulf to fuel its expending economy and
production. At present, the oil it receives passes through a very long route. It starts
in the Strait of Malacca from where it reaches China's east coast and is transported
overland to western China. This transportation is very costly. Gwadar provides a
cheaper and shorter route.
Nevertheless, China is not the only beneficiary of the Gwadar port. Landlocked
Central Asian states are also set to make significant gains. Tajikistan can transport
its gas to the world, once the pipeline is extended to the port. For Uzbekistan and
Turkmenistan, the shortest possible route to the sea is through Gwadar.
And Afghanistan's gateway to the world has always been through Pakistan. For a
stable economy, this land locked country needs an opening to the sea, and Gwadar
has the potential to provide that. Pakistan and China will not get the sole benefits of
the development of Gwadar. Instead, the whole region will prosper.
The two countries intend to build a railway link between Xinjiang and Gwadar. This
will not only enhance the mobility of goods, but also cut the cost of transportation by
road.
There is an existing railway link between Pakistan, Iran and Turkey, and the three
countries have decided to extend this railway link to Europe.
If China agrees, the railway link from Xinjiang to Gwadar can be connected to the
current Iran, Pakistan and Turkey rail link.
This will provide Chinese goods with another route to European markets.
The development of the port is a cause of concerns for many countries in the
region, especially India. The port and a naval base at such an important strategic
location enhance the importance of Pakistan. India is already trying to increase its
influence in the Arabian Sea and does not want any competitor. It feels threatened
by the development of the port.
New Delhi is pressing hard to increase its influence in Afghanistan and the rest of
Central Asia, but once the port is developed, all these states will be dependent on
Pakistan and will no longer remain under Indian influence.
The closer Pakistani-Chinese strategic partnership is already seen by India and the
US as a threat to their interests in the region.
The US is increasing its influence in the Asia-Pacific region, especially in the Strait
of Malacca, and is empowering India to stand against China. The superpower has
concluded many defense and strategic agreements with countries in the region.
This is seen by defense analysts as an attempt to contain China and block its
mobility in the Southeast Asian region.

Tue
According to Pakistan Economy Watch, a "willingness on the part of Beijing to take
control of the port will encourage investment and professional handling of port
operations. It will bring two countries closer and promote social and economic
development." Gwadar remains the only safe and feasible option which provides
China an opportunity to counties with its economical activities to the external world.

All Day Gwadar Port road linkages projects -- Daily Times
Country has not benefited despite spending Rs 45bn
* Senate body told security hurdles main reason for delay in completion of projects
By Sajid Chaudhry
ISLAMABAD: The Senate’s Sub-Committee on Finance and Planning was informed

on Friday that the country has not benefited despite spending Rs 45 billion on
Gwadar Port road linkages projects due to security hurdles.
Security situation was the main reason that led to leaving the construction of some
nine bridges incomplete between highways constructed to link Gwadar Port to rest
of the country and this has resulted in making the port non-operational.
The sub-committee proposed that the Ministry of Finance should separately allocate
funds for security arrangement for ongoing development projects in Balochistan
after National Highway Authority (NHA) held law and order situation as a major
hurdle in the province for delaying completion of projects.
The committee chairman Senator Sardar Fateh Muhammad Hassani also proposed
that security arrangements could be ensured through providing funds to Pakistan
Army, Frontier Corps, Rangers or provincial police to make sure of the security at
the sites of the said projects so that the country could benefit from the vital Gwadar
Port.
Hassani invited Interior Minister Rehman Malik, Finance Minister Dr Abdul Hafeez
Shaikh and Planning Commission Deputy Chairman on Monday for taking a
decision regarding allocation of funds for security issue for early completion of the
ongoing projects. Members of the committee stated that security is a problem in the
province and Gwadar Port could not be made fully operational unless road and train
links are not developed to connect it with the rest of the country.
The security problem remains a major bottleneck in completion of these projects,

said NHA chairman and added that the FC has sought Rs 1 billion for one year to
provide security for completion of road from Khuzdar to Rathodaro.
The committee’s chairman was of the view that during the preparation of the
projects a separate allocation for arrangement of security arrangements be ensured
so that vital projects like linkage of Gwadar Power to rest of the country could be
completed in time.
On the issue raised by NHA for annual road maintenance, Ministry of

Communication director roads informed that some Rs 80 billion is annually
allocated for maintenance purposes, Rs 50 billion in Public Sector Development
Programme and Rs 30 billion through NHA’s own resources.
NHA officials present in the meeting informed that NA’s communication body
members the other day strongly objected arrangement of additional funds for
security arrangements at projects sites for NHA and members of committee were of
the view that this would be a wastage of money.
Planning Commission infrastructure member informed the committee that the

Planning Commission had included security related funds in the final cost of the
Gomal Zam Dam Project. Senator Begum Kulsoom Parveen was of the view that
until and the Gwadar Port road linkages projects are not completed the country
would not be able to make economic progress by using Gwadar Port.
Senator Humanyun Mandokhel expressed his serious concern that despite

spending Rs 45 billion on construction of highways for linking Gwadar Port, the
country has not been able to benefit from economic opportunities from Gwadar.

All Day Gwadar-Turbat Hoshab Road: PC1 cost revised upward to Rs 18 billion
-- BR
The construction cost of Gwadar-Turbat Hoshab Road has been revised upward to
Rs 18.379 billion in the PC1 from Rs 5.687 billion because of National Highway
Authority's inability to complete the project even after the completion date was
revised upward by five years.
Senior officials of NHA and Ministry of Communication informed the Senate Sub-
Committee on Finance here on Monday that the cost of all the three sections of
road has been revised upward by in the amended PC-1. The original cost of 54-
kilometer road from Gwadar to Dasht was estimated at Rs 1.527 billion with
completion date of September 2006, but NHA failure to compete the project led to
upward revision of cost to Rs 2.494 billion and completion date to June 2008.
However, the project was not completed even on the upwardly revised date of June
2008 and now is expected to be completed in June 2013. According to NHA overall
progress was 60 percent.
The cost of 63 kilometers section of the road from Dasht-Turbat went up from Rs
1.699 billion to Rs 3.687 billion with upward revision in completion date from
September 2006 to February 2012, but the implementing authority was unable to
complete the project even on the revised completion date. The project now, as NHA
stated before the committee, is expected to be completed in June 2013. According
to NHA, the cost of 76 kilometers section road from Turbat to Hoshab was revised
upward to Rs 3.166 billion from original Rs 1.933 billion with completion date from
September 2007 to February 2012 but the project could not be completed even in
2012 and now the completion is expected in June 2013. The meeting was informed
that 34 kms link service road from adjoining villages has been completed with a cost
of Rs 940 million in November 2011. The NHA official said that law and order
situation was major obstacle in timely completion of development projects in
Balochistan. Members said that the law and order situation was not a major
problem till 2006 when these projects were to be completed and the problem
started in 2007 and worsened in subsequent years.
Chairman of the sub-committee Fateh Muhammad Hassani stated that Ministry of

Communication and NHA should come up with the list of the sites of the
development project where security is an issue so that the committee could devise
some modalities regarding security arrangements for early completion of
infrastructure related development projects in Balochistan aimed at linking them
with Gwadar sea port. The committee also decided to invite Inspector General
Police along with Chief Secretary Balochistan after Eid for their input on the issue of
law and order to address the problem amicably.
Senior officials of NHA stated that National Assembly Standing Committee on

Communication has rejected a proposal for incorporating security component in the
PC1 of all the development projects of Balochistan on ground that it would set a
wrong precedent and other would also start demanding security component in their
projects.
The representative of Finance Ministry said that keeping in view the importance of
the matter, the ministry would support provision of funds for security component for
development projects in Balochistan. However, approval of the proposal would
depend on how effectively NHA and Planning Commission would plead the case.
Deputy Chairman Planning Commission Dr Nadeem-ul-Haq said he has been
requesting the government to stop approving development projects for the next
three years so that the ongoing projects could be completed first but 'pressure' was
not letting this happen.

All Day Pakistan, China conclude fifth round of strategic dialogue -- The News
BEIJING: Pakistan and China have successfully completed the 5th round of
strategic dialogue here on Friday.Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani represented
Pakistan while Vice Foreign Minister Fu Ying held dialogue on behalf of China.
While warmly greeting the Foreign Secretary to Beijing, Vice Foreign Minister Fu
said the latest round of the strategic dialogue would further strengthen the “all-
weather Pakistan-China partnership”. She said that the complex international
environment necessitated deeper cooperation between the two countries.
Foreign Secretary Jilani said that the strategic dialogue was the most important
interaction between the two countries.He said maintaining strong strategic
cooperation with China was the cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign policy.
The Foreign Secretary agreed with Vice Foreign Minister Fu that the two countries
needed to close ranks to face the extraordinary global and regional challenges.
Vice Foreign Minister Fu said China and Pakistan shared the same concerns on a
host of regional and global issues, ranging from the question of UN Security Council
reforms to the crisis in the Middle East.
Both countries were united in their desire to see peace and stability restored to
Afghanistan.
China appreciated Pakistan’s vital role in the global war on terrorism and urged the
international community to recognize Pakistan’s contribution and sacrifices in this
struggle.
She thanked Pakistan for its unwavering support on issues that related to China’s
core interests, including Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang. The Foreign Secretary pointed
out that the two countries indeed enjoyed complete convergence of views on all
important regional and global issues. He said that Pakistan regarded any threat to
China’s interests as a threat to its own interests. Pakistan supported China’s efforts
to resolve the South China Sea issue through peaceful means and diplomacy.
Foreign Secretary Jilani appreciated China’s firm and forthright support for
Pakistan’s efforts for safeguarding its sovereignty, independence and territorial
integrity. He said Pakistan was looking forward to working with China and the
Afghan government to push forward the political reconciliation process in
Afghanistan. The Foreign Secretary also expressed Pakistan’s appreciation for
China’s consistent support for major infrastructure and development projects in
Pakistan.
Foreign Secretary Jilani also asked Vice Foreign Minister Fu to convey the
president’s and the prime minister’s best wishes to the Chinese leadership ahead of
the upcoming 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The two
leaders later conducted a comprehensive review of the bilateral and multilateral
cooperation between the two neighbours and close allies.

All Day Pak-China expanding ties -- BR
The Pak-China strategic dialogue that concluded in Beijing on Friday resolved to
enhance the already existing multifaceted cooperation between the two countries.
That was rightly considered the most appropriate response to the prevailing
international geopolitical situation. Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani, who led the
Pakistan delegation, said that a strong strategic cooperation with China was a
cornerstone of Islamabad’s foreign policy, a view put across differently by Chinese
Vice Foreign Minister Fu Ying, who felt that the two countries shared the same
concerns on a host of regional and global issues. Be that the desire to see a quick
return of peace and stability to Afghanistan, to set the Middle East’s disturbed
situation right, or to effect reforms at the UN Security Council, China and Pakistan
were on the same page, she said.
A glance at the history of Pak-China relations beginning 1951 to date would prove
the oft-repeated point that despite the changes in the global and internal scenarios
that occurred from time to time these relations have continued to flourish. Mr Jilani,
therefore, was justified in hoping that the new leadership, shortly to be inducted in
office in Beijing, would keep up the momentum of growth. He might as well have
stated that Pakistan’s new leadership that would assume power following the
general elections due to be held soon would be equally enthusiastic in further
strengthening these ties. Beijing’s assistance to Pakistan has been free of strings,
timely and in fields that are vital to our sovereignty and, indeed, survival, reinforcing
the confidence that China is a genuine friend that Pakistan can ill afford to lose. The
Heavy Mechanical Complex, the Kamra Rebuild Factory, the Karakorum Highway,
the Chashma power plant and the Gwadar seaport are a few among a host of other
projects it has helped build here and that constitute a monument to the strength of
that relationship. The feelings of friendship have been sustained as both have felt
that their stands on the various issues confronting them and the world as a whole
were based on sound moral principles. And frequent exchange of visits between the
two countries when common aspirations and goals as well common apprehensions
and dangers come up for discussion have put that equation on a solid footing. The
report that the newly tested landmark achievement of China in the defence field –
the J-31 stealth fighter – would be exported to Pakistan when it comes on line says
a lot in that context.

BEIJING - The Embassy of Pakistan in Beijing has published The Call of the
Trumpet, an anthology of early twentieth-century Chinese poetry translated into
English by late Ahmed Ali, Pakistan’s first envoy (Chargé d'Affaires) to the People’s
Republic of China.
Ahmed Ali was a man of many talents. A scholar, a writer, a poet, a diplomat par
excellence, an art collector of exquisite taste, Ahmed Ali was the original
‘Sinologist’ – a man ahead of his time who, tasked with opening Pakistan’s
embassy in Beijing in 1951, knew that the founding of ‘New China’ in 1949 marked
a turning point in modern history.
Ahmed Ali’s association with China in fact predated his diplomatic assignment. He
had been a Visiting Professor of English for the British Council at Nanjing Central
University in 1946.
It was here that he witnessed the first stirrings of the revolution that culminated in
the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. As one of the founding
figures of South Asia’s own “Progressive Writers’ Movement”, Ahmed Ali developed
an interest in the work of revolutionary Chinese poets and took to translating their
works into English. Nanjing had, of course, been the scene of some of the worst
atrocities during the Second World War.
Ahmed Ali saw firsthand the pain and suffering of the Chinese people, and came to
share their yearning for peace and freedom. It is this heartfelt feeling for China and
Chinese people that runs through his meticulous rendition of Chinese poetry, and
made him the obvious choice for Pakistan’s first envoy to China.
A complete volume of Ahmed Ali’s work on Chinese poetry had not been published
previously. It only became possible now after Ahmed Ali’s son, Orooj Ahmed Ali,
approached the Embassy with the idea of publishing his father’s anthology of
translated Chinese poems.
The Call of the Trumpet is a fitting tribute to its author and his lifelong passion:
forging an enduring and everlasting friendship between Pakistan and China.

Balochistan is foremost priority of government: PM
GWADAR, Nov 9 (APP): Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf on Friday approved a
project with an estimated cost of Rs 4.5 Billion for provision of Water Supply to the
people of Gwadar. This was announced in response to a pressing demand by Chief
Minister Balochistan Nawab Aslam Raisani and the Members of his Cabinet.
Speaking to a special meeting of the Balochistan Cabinet here, the Prime Minister
said that the federal government will bear 50 percent of the cost while the balance
will be borne by the Government of Balochistan. The Prime Minister also
announced to make Jiwani a Model Town and directed the provincial government to
present a proposal for the project.
He announced that the federal government also released funds for the construction
of Gwadar-Ratodaro Road to improve connectivity.
The Cabinet meeting held with the Provincial Cabinet Members led by Chief
Minister Balochistan Nawab Aslam Raisani sitting traditionally on the floor.
The Prime Minister was presented a Balochi Chaddar before the commencement of
Cabinet meeting, which started with the recitation from the Holy Quran.
The Prime Minister said that the root cause of most of the problems lies in our
failure in establishing democratic order in Pakistan in general and Balochistan in
particular.
He said that the developed countries were able to progress because of democracy
and continuity in their policies.
Pervez said that the Balochistan Cabinet is an example that the people of different
parties and views have synergized their energies and managed to complete the
term of their government. This, he said, was no mean achievement. “You can use
your strengths and pool up your resources for the overall benefit of the people of
Balochistan,” he added.
Alluding to the National Finance Commission Award, he termed it as a step in right
direction which brought in betterment for the people of Balochistan and other
provinces.
He said it was unheard that any person could have divested himself of powers
vested in him. President Asif Ali Zardari voluntarily surrendered his powers to the
Parliament by consenting to amend the Constitution whereby his powers were
transferred to the Parliament.
Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf said that the PPP took over the government in
2008 in very challenging circumstances when the financial position of the country
was on the verge of bankruptcy. The PPP-led coalition government, under the
leadership of President Asif Ali Zardari, has been pursuing the policy of
reconciliation and has now achieved the historic landmark of being the first elected
government in Pakistan which has completed its tenure.
He congratulated the Balochistan government for having completed its tenure. “We
have together laid down a fundamental on which we can erect a building.”
The Prime Minister said that Aghaz-e-Hoqooq-e-Balochistan was a step to start
working towards the development and progress of the people of Balochistan.
He said that we need to dispel the misperception about the law & order situation in
Balochistan. The perception has been created by exaggerating accounts and
events in Balochistan.
The Prime Minister said that when he assumed the office he consulted a variety of
people, including the Government of Balochistan and the people who have
knowledge of Balochistan to find a viable solution for the law & order situation in
Balochistan.
He said that as a first step, he decided to post competent officers of repute to
improve the law & order situation in the province. In this connection, he formulated
a transfer and posting policy so that the competent officers are posted in
Balochistan. Despite tremendous pressure, he did not waver from the policy nor did
he accept any pressure regarding transfers.
As a result, the situation has started slowly improving. Earlier, he said, officers in
Balochistan were sent as a punishment. Such officers were unwilling and not fully
motivated. If one is sincere and committed to hold merit then results are always in
the public interest. He expressed the hope that the situation in Balochistan will show
improvement due to the collective efforts made by the Government of Pakistan and
Balochistan.
The Chief Minister Balochistan thanked the Prime Minister for addressing the
839
Fri
Cabinet and taking the Provincial Government into confidence. He also thanked the
Prime Minister for approving projects which will go a long way in improving the
standards of living of the people of Balochistan.

BEIJING - China has reiterated that it will continue to maintain close relations with
Pakistan as it is based on strong popular support.
This has been stated by a senior Chinese Foreign Ministry official while briefing

He pointed out that these bonds of friendship are also featured by high level
frequent mutual visits.
The official said the friendship between the two countries is deepening with the
passage of time.
All Day Gwader Civic Centre -- The Nation

According to media reports, the prime minister of Pakistan is visiting Gwadar on
November 9 or 11, 2012 to inaugurate the Gwadar Civic Centre, constructed by the
Gwadar Port Authority. If the details of the project and previous expenditure on its
inauguration are revealed, an amazing picture will emerge. The Gwadar Civic
Centre project is a very small project, costing only Rs 188 million and comprising of
a ground and mezzanine plus three floors. Its construction was started in March
2007 and was to be completed by the end of September 2008. However, it was
actually completed during April 2012 and is now being inaugurated by the PM.The
interesting part of the story is that the ground ceremony of this small project has
already been carried out twice — once by the then president of Pakistan, General
Pervez Musharraf and again by the then PM of Pakistan, Mr Shaukat Aziz. A huge
amount of money was spent on these events; we are talking about billions of
rupees. At the time of Musharraf’s visit, it was learnt that a C-130 craft had brought
the president’s special car from Islamabad to Pasni. Due to some defect, the car
was taken back to Islamabad and another car was brought from Islamabad to Pasni
and then driven to Gwadar for the use of the president in Gwadar, which lasted only
a few hours. Everyone knows that a visit by the president or PM to a place like
Gwadar entails extraordinary security and unimaginable cost; apart from the VVIP
and his team, a number of federal ministers, senators, MNAs, federal secretaries
and the entire administration of the provincial government, including the chief
minister, ministers and chief secretary also attend the ceremony. Now, one can only
imagine how much money has been spent on the previous two inaugurations and
will be spent on the upcoming one. It is not understood why there is so much
hypocrisy in the case of Balochistan where small results are highly exaggerated and
projected as big achievements. It is not understood why these huge amounts are
not spent on the construction of vital roads, which have been lying in a half
complete state for many years, and on the establishment of colleges and
universities also in dire need of financial aid. Can anyone tell me what justification
exists for spending billions of rupees to inaugurate a project worth Rs 188 million,
which should actually have been inaugurated by the commissioner of the district?

All Day ‘Water-related projects to be completed soon in Gwadar, Jiwani’ -- The
News
KARACHI: Gwadar’s water issue is to be resolved soon as a few water-related
projects are expected to be completed soon, said Sohail-ur-Rehman, deputy
commissioner of Gwadar here on Monday.
“A major breakthrough took place on November 9 during the prime minister’s

special meeting with the Balochistan Cabinet at Gwadar,” he said. “The Mirani dam
project was approved to connect it to Gwadar in order to avert the prevailing water
crisis.”
The project’s estimated cost is Rs4.5 billion for the provision of water supply to the
people of Gwadar, he added. In view of project funding, the prime minister has
announced that 50 percent funds would be provided by the federal government,
while the rest would be provided by the provincial government.
“The estimated timeframe for project completion is almost two years,” he said. He
further added that once the project materialises, the Mirani dam would have the
capacity to provide a minimum of seven million water gallons per day.
Gwadar and Jiwani’s current population is around 0.2 million. The daily water
requirement of the population stands at 3.5 million gallons.
The Sunt Sar Water Supply Scheme, which costs Rs350 million, would have the
capacity to generate 10,000 gallons per hour, he said. However, this would be a
small support system for the water deprived populace, he added.
Rehman said that the desalination plant, which was kept idle, would be completed
by December 31 with a cost of Rs180 million as the provincial government had
provided funds for it. It would have the capacity of 200,000 gallons per day.
Furthermore, to provide water through the pipeline from desalination, the
government has also approved a project of Rs220million to avert tanker costs.
Another project, which has almost been completed is the Sawad dam in Nalant. It
has a capacity of 45,000 acre feet, which would also bode well for the current water
crisis.
According to Rehman, Gwadar and Jiwani are still on temporary water tanker
supply since the last 20 weeks. Each tanker costs almost Rs15,000 and so far the
provincial government has allocated Rs154 million for the water tankers, whereas
almost Rs190 million still has to be paid. It is expected that the cost would increase
further till the time different projects are completed, he observed.
These tankers, he added, are supplying water from the Belar dam, which is 85
kilometre away from Gwadar.
The water crisis started in Gwadar and Jiwani almost 20 weeks ago when the
Ankara Kaur dam, which was the sole source of water supply, dried out and caused
a severe water shortage. However, Rehman is hopeful that the ongoing water
projects would be completed on time, which would help to overcome the present
water crisis.

BALOCHISTAN PLANS GIFTING 200 ACRES TO SULTANATE
Muscat -
Pakistan’s Balochistan province is planning to gift 200 acres to His Majesty Sultan
Qaboos bin Said as a token of gratitude and honour for Oman's commitment
towards the development of the region and the port city of Gwadar in particular.
Speaking during a private visit to the sultanate, Muhammad Syed Faseih Iqbal,
former senator and senior member of the Pakistan Press Council, said that the
move would also help to boost the close historical ties between Oman and
Balochistan.
“Nawab Muhammad Aslam Khan Raisani, the chief Minister of Balochistan is

planning to gift 200 acres to honour His Majesty the Sultan as a goodwill gesture to
the people of Oman. The topography of Gwadar is the same as Oman.
Government-to-government relationship is fine but we want to revive the Balochi-
Omani bond.”
Iqbal said that he personally witnessed Oman handing over Gwadar to Pakistan in
1958. “Gwadar is strategically positioned and shares a 'deep historical link' with the
sultanate. The Balochistan government is also taking care of the Fort of Sultan Said
Taimur.
“Balochis in Oman share a long history with their counterparts in Pakistan dating
back at least 300 years. Many Balochis are permanently settled in Oman. I feel that
ties can still be improved and people on both the sides can be brought closer
through education, business and trade. We would like to invite the Omani
government to construct a university and a hospital in Gwadar. Gwadar has none of
these and this would help in bringing people closer.”
H E Nawabzada Aminullah Khan Raisani, the Pakistani Ambassador to Oman,

welcomed the proposal of gifting the land and said, “His Majesty the Sultan has
done a lot for people of Gwadar. The Balochistan government's initiative is a token
of appreciation and I am sure the Pakistan government will welcome the move.”
His Majesty the Sultan had announced a US$100mn (RO38.5mn) grant during his
2001 visit to Pakistan. Out of this, US$64mn (RO24.64mn) was allocated for
development work in Balochistan. Reports stated that US$17.5mn (RO6.73mn) was
earmarked for the development of Gwadar International Airport and US$27.5mn
(RO10.5mn) for Gwadar city. Iqbal said that the grant has been utilised to boost
infrastructural facilities like the building of 300km Gwadar-Turbat-Hoshab road and
electrification of Gwadar city.
“We believe that there was a strong link between Omanis and Balochis in the 16th
and 17th centuries and would like to revive the same bond.”

development projects, including Karakoram Highway, Gwadar Port, Heavy

location to serve the huge markets of over 3 billion in our neighbourhood, Pakistan
was offering huge incentives to the business community in various fields.
He said that the promotion of public-private partnership patterns and encouraging

joint ventures were another important feature of the economy. The public-private
partnership was being encouraged to stimulate private sector growth and
investment. The president said that recently a law had been enacted to protect the
incentives offered to entrepreneurs so that they could work without fear for their
investment.
He urged the private sector to assume the role of a driving force in propelling
economy, because a vibrant private sector was important for achieving sustainable
growth and attracting foreign and domestic investment.
He assured that the government would continue to provide a conducive economic

environment and supporting infrastructure to facilitate private sector and promote
public-private partnership.
The president invited Chinese investment in the Special Economic Zones, which he
said, would have basic utilities and infrastructure of international standard, 10 years
exemption on duty and taxes both to zone developers and enterprises.

business and would play a pivotal role in the economic development of Pakistan as
had been witnessed in case of China, Malaysia, Thailand and other states.

security issues in war-torn Afghanistan.
Afghanistan has accused Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) agency of

supporting Taliban insurgents, who launched a string of dramatic attacks in recent
months as foreign troops prepare to pull out most combat troops by 2014.
Islamabad, which denies supporting the Taliban, complained in turn that insurgents
from the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), or Pakistani Taliban, have been using
Afghanistan as a base from which to launch attacks in Pakistan.

China to continue unconditional support to Pakistan: CPIFA
LAHORE - A delegation of the China Peoples Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA) on

Wednesday said that China would continue unconditional support to Pakistan.
The CPIFA, led by its Vice President Lu Shumin said this during its meeting with
Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
Matters of mutual interest and promotion of bilateral ties were discussed at the
meeting. The Chief Minister expressed his best wishes for the success of new
Chinese leadership.
The Chief Minister said that China is a trusted and sincere friend of Pakistan who
has given all-out support to Pakistan in case of any need like wars, floods,
earthquakes and other natural disasters.
He added that the people of Pakistan also whole-heartedly respect the Chinese
government and the people. The Pak-China friendship has strengthened with the
passage of time and now it has turned into strategic ties.
Shahbaz Sharif said that we want more Chinese cooperation for the promotion of
trade and investment, sharing of technology and other fields. He stressed the need
for more coordinated efforts in the fields of education and health, and the
eradication of poverty. This is not the age of wars, but of economic and trade
cooperation. Development and progress could only be achieved by fighting
economic war. Pakistan can learn from the experiments of China in the financial
development.
Discussing the regional situation, the Chief Minister said extremism and terrorism
have badly disturbed economic activities. In the war against terrorism, Pakistan has
rendered more sacrifices than any other regional country.
He said the peace in Pakistan, and regional progress and development is linked to
peace and stability in Afghanistan.
The Chief Minister said that the unprecedented corruption of the federal rulers has
not only damaged Pakistan’s image at the international level but national resources
are also shrinking. Despite all these odds, the Muslim League-N government in
Punjab has taken concrete steps for the welfare and development of the masses.
He said that revolutionary steps have been taken in education, health, job
generation and other sectors. He said that record development funds have been
earmarked to remove sense of deprivation in the people of South Punjab. For the
welfare of the people of South Punjab, more funds than any other part of the
province in relation to population have been allocated.
He said the Rs. 30 billion metro bus project launched to provide best and
comfortable traveling facilities to the people is nearing completion at a fast pace.
He said if the provincial government had launched the underground railway project,
it would have cost much more and could have taken five years for completion. He
accepted the offer of the Chinese delegation to visit China and promised he would
visit Beijing after the forthcoming general elections.
Talking to the Chief Minister, Lu Shumin said China values its relation with Pakistan
and wants to enhance its cooperation in various fields. He said China would
continue unconditional support to Pakistan. The Chinese delegation presented a
new year card and conveyed the message of the best wishes to Pakistan Muslim
League-N President Muhammad Nawaz Sharif on behalf of the Chinese leadership.

and developing countries here.
He pointed out that his company entered into Pakistani market in 2006 and has
generated a revenue of US$ 9 million this year.
Eastcompeace Technology, also provided Smart cards for the Industrial and

Maritime experts call for development of Gwadar Port
ISLAMABAD: Policy planners and maritime experts here in the federal capital have
sought urgent development and operationalisation of the Gwadar Port in the face of
major regional and economic challenges.
“Why is the federal government ignoring the Gwadar Port option?” an expert
associated with a major think tank in Islamabad asked. “Is it due to some political
considerations or pressure from some political groups? Whatever the case may be,
it is time that we made the budding port operational.”
The expert reiterated that Gwadar was a strategic project which could not be
overlooked because of political concerns or minor threat from some ragtag militia.
“Given the motivation, the government can sort out any type of pressure, even
strong regional pressures on the port issue.”
Deliberating on its importance, the expert said that Gwadar was identified as a site
suitable for a port by a team of US Geological Survey in 1954.
On March 20, 2007, former President General Pervez Musharraf had inaugurated
the port, which was to become one of the world’s largest deep sea ports, along with
the Chinese communication minister. Subsequently, however, the government
failed to build and connect the port with CARs and Afghanistan and provide land to
a Singaporean firm for industrial zone.
The foreign firm failed to invest $525 million it had promised and the project came to
a standstill. Now the port is being used only for transportation of bulk cargo like
wheat and urea.
Another expert, a retired official, said that the importance of Karachi or its port,
some 290 miles west of the new port, would not be diminished if Gwadar became
fully operational.
“We should have made the alternate port functional decades ago after the lessons
we learnt from the attack on our Keamari installations in 1971. Therefore, work on
the port should not be delayed now.”
He emphasized the importance of the Gwadar Port, pointing out that its location
near the Strait of Hormuz, home to some 70 percent of world oil reserves, proximity
to landlocked Central Asian States and busy shipping lanes gave it an unparalleled
significance. He added that an operational port would also provide thousands of job
opportunities to local people. ---Waqar Ahmed

All Day Russia eyes $ 600 million trade with Pakistan -- Pakistan Today
Russia eyes $ 600 million trade with Pakistan
KARACHI - Russia plans to increase the volume of bilateral trade with Pakistan to
the 2008 level of $ 600 million, Consul General of Russia Andrey V. Demidov has
said. “Still we plan to reach the level of US $ 600 million by the end of 2012,”
Demidov told a gathering organized by the Asian Union Forum (AUF) here.
Present among others were Patron-in-Chief Justice Said-uz-Zaman Siddiqui,
Chairman Waseem Yasin, Secretary General Tariq Shadab and members of the
AUF’s executive committee. “We were and are prepared to cooperate with Pakistan
in different spheres and primarily in commerce and in economy,” he said.
In the last two decades of the 20th century the cooperation between the two
countries remained on a very low level, he recalled. “The bilateral trade volume in
1980 was US $ 95 million only and in 1990 – 138 mln. These figures were
negligible,” said the consul general. He said the record high volume of bilateral
trade, about $ 600 million, was reached in 2008.
“But later we experienced the effects of the World financial crises and the volume of
trade dropped to the level of US $ 300 mln in 2009,” he said. Demidov said he had
already mentioned a very good example of mutually beneficial cooperation that was
the Pakistani Steel Mills. The project was inaugurated more than 30 years ago. And
it was still operational. The machinery built in the Soviet Union, although old, was
still working without any serious technical problem.
Nevertheless, the Pakistani Steel Mills needed to be upgraded, he said. The new
machinery was to be supplied and fit in. The production level was to be brought up.
“And we are prepared to come and to modernize the project. About four years ago
we presented the management of the Steel Mills with a detailed plan of upgrading
the production to the level of 3 million tons. This plan is still under consideration by
our partners,” the consul general said.
In this respect, Demidov stressed his conviction that the follow-up of bilateral
cooperation around the Pakistani Steel Mills could move forward the whole complex
of our bilateral ties. “We know that Pakistan is experiencing energy deficit. But
Russia is the world’s biggest energy supplier. Our assistance in the field of energy
can be rendered in the form of oil and gas supplies. Our experts assisted the
Iranians in bringing the gas pipeline to the Iran-Pakistan border,” said the Russian
consul general. It had been announced that Russia had a plan to allocate $ 500
million for the upgrading of the Pakistani Steel Mills, he said.
Special agreements, he said, were underway on construction of a South Asian
Electricity Trade and Development Project CASA-1000 and gas pipeline TAPI.
Demidov said good prospects for fruitful bilateral cooperation could be found in the
fields of railroads and highway construction, energy, coal mining and others.
A very important and a very fruitful sphere of bilateral cooperation was Russian
possible participation in building irrigation projects in Pakistan.
“Russia has a very serious experience of using modern machinery in this field. In
the past we built a lot of irrigation systems in Central Asia,” said he.
Both the parties can cooperate in the field of transport, building roads, railroads,
bridges etc, including air transport. On May 5 this year, he recalled, a Russian-
made passenger airplane of latest brand “Sukhoi Superjet” performed
demonstration flights in the Jinnah International Airport, Karachi, in the presence of
officials from the Civil Aviation Authority of Pakistan.
“In our view the biggest prospects for the future development of mankind lie in outer
space. Space is an inexhaustible source of energy, raw materials. And of course it
is an important source of human knowledge. Russia now is an undoubtedly world
leader in space exploration, in manned spaceflights,” Demidov said.
The two countries, he said, had already started cooperation in the space. In
December 2001, a Russian missile launched into orbit a Pakistani satellite
“BADAR-2”. In September 2012, the two sides witnessed the second session of
Inter-ministerial Russian-Pakistani Commission on trade, economic, scientific and
technical cooperation held in Islamabad.
“We can cooperate in the field of education that is in training of Pakistani students in
Russian universities,” he said. Also, according to Demidov, the two countries had
an intense political dialogue including regular contacts at the sidelines of the
Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the so called “Dushanbe Four”. “Both
sides have regular consultations between foreign ministers,” he said.
857
Tue
The consul general said Russia and Pakistan had close approaches to main
international issues. “This cooperation should be continued,” he said.
“Of course the moving forward closer with Russia is not and should not be the only
option for Pakistan. We think that Pakistan should continue its long-time
cooperation with the United States. And, undoubtedly we will only support Pakistan
in its aspiration to maintain its time-tested all-weather friendship with China. What
we want is to complement the existing cooperation with these nations. We wish to
add what the listed nations could not and possibly do not want to give to Pakistan,”
he said.
Russian businesspeople, Demidov said, were listed among quite fortunate ones.
“But they are to be encouraged to come and to invest in Pakistan. They are to be
invited to invest in Pakistan. In what way invited? Invited to business and
investment exhibitions and fairs. Invited to take part in business forums, in talks and
negotiations on specific projects,” he said.
He said his side was awaiting with keen interest the visit to Pakistan of Russian
President Vladimir V. Putin. “I would like to stress that the visit was not cancelled, it
was postponed.
PSM to import iron ore from Iran
Chief executive officer of Pakistan Steel Mills is on a visit to Iran to discuss and
secure supplies of iron ore from a less expensive and quick source of raw material
to boost PS production. The spokesperson of the PS said that the main purpose of
the visit is to explore possibilities of securing a continuous supply for the Steel Mills,
IRNA News Agency Reported. The mill is experiencing difficulties in importing iron
ore from Australia, Canada and Brazil as shipments take 50 to 60 days with a high
freight compared to a 10-12-day cost-effective shipment from the neighbouring
country. The spokesperson said the PS delegation would meet representatives of
five Iranian companies and would also discuss possibility of barter trade, under
which PS would supply metallurgical coke in exchange for Iranian ore.

system bottlenecks at distribution and transmission level. ADB has made available
four MFFs amounting to US$2.9 billion to address these system constraints, and
will continue to assist Pakistan in the energy sector,” said Werner E. Liepach,
country director of ADB in Pakistan.
The project will help all the eight power distribution companies improve reliability
and quality of power supply to customers.
The eight power distribution companies are: Fesco, Gepco, Hesco, Iesco, Lesco,
Mepco, Pesco and Qesco. The outcome will be removal of power system
bottlenecks through distribution system rehabilitation, augmentation, and
expansion.

Gwadar port vital for economy
From the Newspaper | 7th January, 2013 5
THIS refers to completion of Gwadar deep sea project that has immense strategic
and socio-economic value. It is sad that such a high value project is a victim of
government’s negligence as the completed part of port project has enabled it to be
used only for transportation of bulk cargo like wheat and urea.
The construction of Gwadar port was embarked upon by the government with
Chinese assistance in March 2002. Its first phase was completed in December
2006 at a cost of $248 million.
However the port, which was to become one of the world’s largest deep sea ports,
came to a standstill due to traditionally lethargic and unprofessional approach of
ministry concerned and associates.
Sadly, like PIA, railways, power and energy sector, Steel Mills, the port project is yet
another victim of apathy of the government.
It is high time development is started at the Gwadar port in the face of major
regional and economic challenges. The port, once fully operational would serve as
hub of trade and economic activities in the whole region enabling high volume cargo
movement to and from the landlocked Central Asian states, up lift of the
impoverished people of Balochistan by providing thousands of employment
opportunities.
It will also serve as an alternative deep water port as it is situated 470km away from
Karachi making it less vulnerable to the Indian naval blockade. So in the best
national interest, there is a need that the government should adopt corrective
measures and appoint sincere leadership which could amicably resolve the
extraneous issues (including any political considerations or pressure from any
political groups) standing in the way of this project of unparalleled significance.

Lecture on Chinese New Leadership And Future of Pak-China Relations
January 8, 2013 at 9:48 AM
The Department of International Relations, Shah Abdul Latif University, Khairpur
organized a lecture on Chinese New Leadership And Future Of Pak-China
Relations. The lecture was delivered by Prof Zhou Rong, Chief of Gaung Ming Daily
South Asia Bureau. At the outset of the lecture Prof Dr. Abdul Majeed Chandio
Chairman Department of International Relations cordially welcomed the guest
speaker. Dr. Chandio said that Pak-China relations are cordial and dispute free.
China is the most developed country who's economic growth is 25%. Pak-China
relations are time tested and proved helpful during the day of trail. Prof. Zhou Rong
said in his lecture that China-Pakistan Relations began in 1950 when Pakistan was
among the first countries to break relations with the Republic of China on Taiwan
and recognize the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). Relations between Pakistan
and China are very brotherly. Following the 1962 Sino-Indian War, both countries
have placed considerable importance on the maintenance of an extremely close
and supportive relationship. Since then, the two countries have regularly exchanged
high-level visits resulting in a variety of agreements. The PRC has provided
economic, military and technical assistance to Pakistan and each considers the
other a close strategic ally. China is reliable friend first than Russia. Prof. Rong
relieved that with the help of Pakistan the relations with USA remained normal and
Pakistan deserves the respect. He said that Pak-China relations are strongest like
wise the relations between Israel and USA and the relations between two countries
(Pak-China) are tension free. Late. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was the pioneer of Pak-China
relations on the principal of bilateralism. The other leaders also played a pivotal role
in the maintenance of friendly relationship like wise Mr. Mohammad Khan Junejo,
Mr. Nawaz Shareef and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. He said that in future
relations China sees Pakistan as strong and viable country. The priority of China is
to support Pakistan in energy sector and to control on load shedding problem. The
Chinese language courses are being conducted in Pakistan. He promised that
efforts will be made for establishing the Centre of Chinese Language Course in the
Department of International Relations and China and Pakistan trying to remove
misconceptions about rise of militancy in the Sinkiyang province of China. Prof Dr.
Syed Ahmed Hussain Shah Dean Faculty of Social Sciences & Arts delivered the
presidential speech and said that with the efforts of China the regional balance had
been maintained and Indian hegemony had been minimized. The Pak-China
relations are based on mutual guarantee and assurance against war and
aggression. Prof Dr. Lutufullah Mangi Director Shikarpur Campus, Prof Dr. Amir

All Day Gwadar Port: An opportunity in waiting! -- FRONTIER POST
Gwadar Port: An opportunity in waiting!
Zia Siddiqui
Our visionary founding leaders saw through an opportunity of great benefits in this
small Omani town of Gwadar as early as 1954. For the purpose, newly born state of
Pakistan purchased this small fishing town, which was geographically contiguous
anyway, for a partly $3 million in 1958.
This small costal town located on the mouth of the strategic Persian Gulf was seen
as a major trading and energy hub on the warm waters of the Arabian Sea. For
Pakistan, it was to be an alternate to Karachi Port which was located some 460 Km
to its south east, and for landlocked Afghanistan and Central Asian Republics
(CARs), the nearest to warm waters of the Arabian Sea for trade and energy
supplies. In fact, the centuries old Great Game of the Russian Empire envisaged its
landings to the warm waters of Arabian Sea around the same areas. However, the
dream of our founding leaders of making Gwadar, a truly regional hub was kept
pending until the turn of the new millennium; “for strategic reasons.”
In any case, the construction of Phase-I of Gwadar Deep Sea Port commenced on
22 March 2002, at a cost of some $248 million by the Chinese firm. President
Musharraf takes the credit of finally launching the project of Gwadar Deep Sea Port
and predicted it to be a beginning of an era of economic progress for Pakistan as
well as the coastal belt of Balochistan.
He then inaugurated the Gwadar Port on 20 March, 2007. The completion of the
Phase-I of Gwadar Port meant that the Bulk carries of 30,000 deadweight tonnage
(DWT) and container vessels of 25,000 DWT could be berthed and do business on
the port. Musharraf government saw the completion of Phase-I of Gwadar port as
an opportunity to boast its valued strategic location to engage any renowned
international port operators.
Finally, the contract of Gwadar Port operations was awarded to the Port of
Singapore Authority (PSA) on 1 February, 2007. According to the terms of contract,
the PSA was to invest some $550 million over the next 5-10 years, however, the
dream to see Gwadar Port as the regional energy and trade hub remains unfulfilled
till to-date.
The construction of Phase-II started in 2007 at a cost of $932 million with an aim of
establishing a Bulk Cargo Terminal with the capacity of 100,000 DWT, a Grain
Terminal and two oil terminals. The work continued at snails pace while the
government contemplates withdrawing the port from PSA’s control due to its failure
to operationlize the port with promised investment. Reportedly, PSA has agreed to
hand over the ports administration after the Government of Pakistan terminated its
contract on technical grounds as well as for violation of contractual obligations.
Pakistan now plans to hand over the Gwadar Port operations to Chinese firms so
that its development and functioning could be expedited. There is no denying that
till to-date, Gwadar Port has not been able to make any significant contribution in
Balochistan or Pakistan’s economy, in spite of its invaluable strategic location and
immense potential of being a gateway for trade and energy corridor for China,
Afghanistan and Central Asian Republics (CARs).
I believe, only we are to blame ourselves for the painstaking lethargy and
complacency that nearly all the stakeholders have shown towards the development
of Gwadar Port. Allah Almighty has blessed Pakistan with this golden port named
Gwadar and we, unfortunately have miserably failed to exploit it true potential. The
delayed development of the Gwadar Port is denying the people of the area of
employment opportunities and related economic benefits.
I would sincerely urge upon all stakeholders including Ministry of Ports and
Shipping, Gwadar Port Authority, the provincial Government of Balochistan to shun
their differences and work together to remove the impediments related to land
issues, and control of administration and authority.
This would certainly help realize the dream of our founding leader by making
Gwadar Port, a truly trade and energy hub of the region, bringing peace, progress
and prosperity for the people of Pakistan in general and people of Makran and
Balochistan in particular.

Referring to the performances from the university students and Pakistani diplomats
who presented songs, music and skits to mark the occasion, Ambassador Khalid

girl who sang popular Pakistani song -- Jeevay jeevay Pakistan.

learning Chinese language with keen interest and there are number of educational
institutions including private schools offering the Chinese language courses.

Chinese language and understand the country's culture. Earlier, Vice-President of

KARACHI: Urea import from Saudi Arabia Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC)
against $100 million credit facility will be made through Gwadar port and the first
shipment will reach Pakistan in the last week of January this year.

the import of over 200,000 tons of urea against $100 million credit facility being
provided by the Saudi Fund for Development (SFD).
After signing the commercial agreement, SABIC also provided a tentative schedule
for the supply of the commodity. As per the schedule, the full quantity of urea will be
supplied during the calendar year 2013. According to SABIC, out of the total supply,
some 115,000 tons of urea will be supplied during first quarter (Jan-March) of 2013.
Sources said that SABIC authorities had also confirmed first urea shipment would
reach Pakistan by the end of this month. “A vessel namely M/s Poavosa Wisdon-VI
has been nominated by SABIC. This will load urea from Al-Jubail port of Saudi
Arabia on January 27-30, 2013 and accordingly will reach Pakistan on January 31
or February 1, 2013.
The consignment will be offloaded at Gwadar port, as the federal government has
already asked TCP that the import under SABIC agreement should be made
through Gwadar port, they added.
Sources said that M/s Poavosa Wisdon-VI will carry some 25,000-30,000 tons of

After arrival of urea shipments, the distribution, transportation and bagging of

commodity would be handled by M/s. National Fertilizer Marketing Limited (NFML)
to ensure timely availability of the commodity in the domestic market, they informed.
“Current import will be sufficient for the ongoing crop season and there will be no
need to importer further during CY13, if regular gas supply restore to the fertilizer
sector,” they added.
They said that despite the fact that Pakistan’s fertilizer industry have urea
production capacity of over 6.5 million ton annually as against domestic demand of
6 million tons, the local market is witnessing urea shortage from last two years as
fertilizer plants are unable to produce urea due to gas curtailment. Therefore, with
an aim to avoid urea shortage, Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the
cabinet has decided to import urea through open tenders and as well as from
SABIC under credit facility.
It may be mentioned here that from the last three years SABIC is providing urea
under SFD credit facility and during the last calendar year 2012 some 223,597 tons
of urea was supplied by SABIC under SFD credit facility.

Pakistan approves transfer of Gwadar port to China
ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan government on Wednesday approved the transfer of

the management of the strategic Gwadar deep sea port from Singapore to China, a
move that could raise concerns in India.
A meeting of the cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf gave its
permission for transferring the concession agreement for Gwadar from the Port of
Singapore Authority to China Overseas Port Holdings Limited, information minister
Qamar Zaman Kaira said.
The Chinese developer had played a key role in the construction of the facility in the
Arabian Sea.
"The cabinet today gave approval to transfer the operation of Gwadar port from Port
of Singapore to China Overseas Port Holdings Limited," Kaira told a news
conference.
"Both the companies have settled their deal," he said, without giving a timetable for
the transfer.
He said the concession agreement and related government notification would be

amended accordingly.
China provided about 75 per cent of the initial funding of USD 250 million for
building the strategic port in the southwestern province of Baluchistan.
It is currently being operated by Singapore's PSA International but needs further

development to become fully operational. Kaira said PSA International could not
develop or operate Gwadar "as desired".
The Chinese will make "more investment" to make the port operational, he said.
Kaira hoped the port would soon contribute to Pakistan's economy under the new
management.
Earlier this month, PSA International had indicated that it would withdraw from its
contract to manage and develop Gwadar port for a period of 40 years.
China, which is Pakistan's closest ally, had for long been a front-runner for taking

Sun
over the port.
China recently said it would construct another 20 berths at Gwadar if it was given
the rights to operate the port.
Beijing has been working to develop a string of harbours in the Indian Ocean and
Arabian Sea, a region traditionally considered an Indian backyard.
China has funded ports in Sri Lanka and has been approached to help build a port
in Bangladesh.
Pakistan's former defence minister Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar had said in 2011 that
Islamabad would be "grateful" to the Chinese government if naval base was built at
Gwadar.

Pak-China bilateral trade crosses $12 billion mark for first time
Monday, 28 January 2013 19:25 Posted by Shoaib-ur-Rehman Siddiqui
BEIJING: The overall bilateral trade of Pakistan and China last year crossed the
figure of US$ 12 billion for the first time, according to the latest data released by the
China Customs.
This puts us firmly on track to achieve the target of US$ 15 billion in the next two to
three years, said Pakistan Ambassador to China Masood Khalid.
He said the leadership of the two countries has paid special attention to augmenting
and cementing trade relations between our two countries and bring them at par with
strategic partnership and political relations.
The data shows that Pakistan-China trade increased by 17.6pc to a total of US$
12.4 billion in 2012. In a welcome development, Pakistan's exports to China
increased by 48.2pc to US$ 3.14 billion.
Imports from China increased by 9.9pc to US$ 9.2 billion. The two way trade in
2011 was US$ 10.6 billion.
The biggest increase in Pakistan exports to China in 2012 has been in textiles and
textile articles, vegetable products, ores and mineral products, leather goods and
base metals.
Similarly, major imports from China include machinery and mechanical appliances,
textiles and textile products, metals, chemical products, mineral ores, plastic scrap
and transport equipment. Ambassador Masood Khalid praised the role played by
the Ministry of Commerce, Trade Development Authority of Pakistan and the
Pakistan Federation of Chambers and Commerce in boosting the trade between the
two countries.
Pakistan also actively participated in a number of fairs/EXPOs last year such as the
Eurasia Expo, Canton Fair and Kunming Fair.
This provided exhibitors from Pakistan to display products and helped boost the
exports. Pakistan traders have been especially focusing on textiles, leather, sports
goods, precious stones and handicrafts.
The Ambassador said we hope to build on this momentum and further increase our
trade in future.
More trade delegations from Pakistan would be encouraged to visit China and
participate in the fairs and EXPOs, said the Ambassador.
We have an excellent and broad economic architecture in place between our two
countries, Ambassador Masood Khalid said.
In order to exploit it to the full, it is vital to diversify export basket, introduce value
addition and provide better quality of goods and services, he added.

All Day Cabinet hands over Gwadar Port to China -- Daily Times
Cabinet hands over Gwadar Port to China
By Sajid Chaudhry
ISLAMABAD: The federal cabinet on Wednesday approved a deal transferring

control of Gwadar Port from Singapore to China.
Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira told newsmen that Singapore’s Port
Singapore Authority (PSA) International could not develop the Gwadar Port, and
expressed the hope that after its transfer to China it would better contribute to
Pakistan’s deteriorating economy. Singapore’s PSA International began running the
port five years ago under a contract valid for up to 40 years, but has decided to
withdraw from it.
According to detailed reports, the government of Pakistan reached a decision to

hand over the Gwadar Port to China when the PSA decided to leave it due to non-
handing over of allocated land required by the Authority for making the port fully
operational. However, Kaira said that the PSA International could not operate
Gwadar port, therefore the government had to transfer it from Singapore to China.
“The Chinese will make more investments to make the project operational,” Kaira
said, adding that the “cabinet has approved transferring port from PSA to a Chinese
company, whereas PSA have decided to leave the port at Gwadar”. The minister
said that both the companies have settled their deal, but did not give a timetable for
the transfer. Gwadar Port, for which China provided about 75 percent of the initial
$250 million, is close to the Pakistan-Iran border and the Strait of Hormuz.
The cabinet also approved government-to-government cooperation agreement with

Iran on engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) work along with financing
for the Pakistan segment of the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline. A committee consisting
of ministers for finance, law and justice, petroleum and national resources and State
Bank of Pakistan governor was formed to further analyse the project.
The committee would explore possibilities to arrange funding for the project. The
information minister said that the cabinet considered, discussed and accorded
approval to the Strategic Trade Policy Framework 2012-15 (STPF-2012-15) and the
Commerce Ministry would hold a briefing on Thursday (today) about the various
aspects of the policy.
The cabinet also approved Ombudsman Institutional Reforms Bill 2013 subject to
vetting by the Ministry of Law to provide speedy justice to the people. The law will
now be placed before parliament for approval. The tenure of the office of federal
ombudsmen would be four years, and all the public sector organisations would be
bound to reply to it within fifteen days.
The cabinet granted approval, in principle, to start negotiations on an MoU to

establish sister cities relationship between Tunis and Islamabad. It also okayed
signing of an MoU on cooperation for environmental protection with the government
of Republic of Korea. Negotiations for an MoU between the governments of
Philippines and Pakistan for Defence cooperation were also approved. The cabinet
sanctioned signing of negotiated draft visa abolition agreement between the
governments of Pakistan and Jordan for the holders of diplomatic and official
passports. It also accorded its approval, in principle, to start negotiations for visa
abolition agreement between the governments of Pakistan and Tanzania for the
holders of diplomatic and official passports.

In a major decision Pakistan, key ally of US, has handed over operations of
country’s key and strategic Gwadar port on Arabian sea to China.
Islamabad, Jan 31/Nationalturk – In what may be not a good news for United
States, Pakistan, its key ally, has handed over operations of country’s key and
strategic Gwadar port on Arabian sea to its trusted friend and ally China.
“The cabinet gave approval to transfer of Gwadar port operations from Singapore’s
Port of Singapore International to Chinese Overseas Port Holdings Limited,”
Pakistan’s Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira told reporters.
Referring to Singapore’s company, he said Port of Singapore International could not

develop or operate Gwadar as was desired.
He said the decision was taken to meet country’s soaring energy requirements.
“Both the companies have settled their deal,” he said.
He, however, did not give any specific date by which the port will be handed over to
China.
Gwadar port is strategically very important
Gwadar port lies in Pakistan’s restive Balochistan province and is strategically very
important. China provided about 75% of initial $250 million in funding to Pakistan
for construction of the port.
Kaira said Pakistan hopes that under the new management, the strategically
located deep-sea port would soon contribute to country’s flagging economy. “The
Chinese will make more investment to make the project operational,” he added.
Gwadar Port is located at the apex of the Arabian Sea and at the mouth of the
Persian Gulf, approximately 460 km (290 mi) west of Karachi, 75 km (47 mi) east of
Pakistan’s border with Iran and 380 km (240 mi) km northeast of the nearest point
in Oman across the Arabian Sea. It is situated on the eastern bay of a natural
hammerhead-shaped peninsula protruding into the Arabian Sea from the coastline.
Gwadar Port is situated near the strategic Strait of Hormuz and its busy trading and
oil shipping lanes. The surrounding region is home to around two-thirds of the
world’s oil reserves. It is also the nearest warm-water seaport to the landlocked, but

Pakistan to transfer Gwadar Port to China
Thursday, 31 January 2013 18:01 Posted by Fakir Syed Iqtidaruddin
KARACHI: Pakistan will transfer the strategically located deep-sea Gwadar port on
the Arabian Sea to China, the media reported on Thursday.
Primary funding has been provided by China with $250 million for construction of
the port in the province of Balochistan.
The port, currently being operated by Singapore's PSA International, is in need of

dire developmental work to become fully operational.
In May 2011, former defence minister Ahmad Mukhtar said that China had agreed
to take over port operations at Gwadar.
He also said Islamabad wants China to a construct a naval base in Gwadar for
Pakistan.

Pakistan to transfer port of Gwadar's management to China
Pakistan will transfer the management of the strategically located Gwadar port from
Singapore to China.
Analysts said the move aims to give a badly needed boost to bilateral trade and
regional development and does not target any country.
Because Singapore's PSA International has not developed the deep-sea port on the
Arabian Sea "as desired", Pakistan's Cabinet agreed to transfer the port's
management to Chinese Overseas Port Holdings Ltd, Information Minister Qamar
Zaman Kaira told reporters in Islamabad on Wednesday.
"We hope that the Chinese company will invest to make the port operations help
Pakistan support its economy," said the minister, adding that both companies have
finalized the deal and that the transfer will happen soon.
Beijing on Thursday underlined its support to the development of the neighboring

country, saying that Chinese companies have been engaging in international
programs in many sectors.
"China will actively support any program that benefits China-Pakistan relations and
the prosperity of Pakistan," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said at a regular
news conference.
China provided about 75 percent of the initial $250 million in funding for the
construction of the port in Pakistan's southwestern Baluchistan, a province dogged
by security problems.
The port is close to the Pakistan-Iran border and the Strait of Hormuz. About 60
percent of China's energy requirements are shipped through the strait.
Wang Weihua, a researcher on South Asia at the Shanghai Institutes for

International Studies, said the Gwadar project as a port, and not as a naval base,
may provide supplies for Chinese merchant ships and escort vessels, as well as
serving China's energy interests in the Middle East.
He said that the transfer of the port management does not represent a threat to any
country.
Meanwhile, Chinese investment can help Islamabad to better develop the

Baluchistan province and help boost Islamabad's influence in the Muslim world,
said Wang.
The sparsely populated province is rich in natural resources, but violence,

sectarianism and separatist insurgencies have stymied its development and
probably the Singaporean company's business, observers said.
According to PSA's Gwadar website, no ship has called on the port since
November.
Pakistan expects the port to be a hub for trade and economic activities in the
region, to enable high-volume cargo to and from landlocked Central Asian states,
and to create jobs for impoverished local people, Indian newspaper Dawn reported.
Liu Xiaoxue, a researcher on South Asia at the Chinese Academy of Social

Sciences, said the port can stimulate the development of the bilateral free trade
agreement, which was signed in 2006 but has not achieved as much as Islamabad
expected.
"Still, it's a little early to talk about the energy corridor as the cost of land energy

Steps for Gwadar, IP gas projects lauded
ISLAMABAD - The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Thursday said some

recent steps taken by the government including ratification of Iran pipeline
agreement by the Federal Cabinet and handing over Gwadar port to a Chinese firm
are highly promising.
These steps will go a long way in reviving economy which is in tailspin since some
time leaving millions jobless and threatening growth, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal,
President PEW.
He said that Chinese cooperation in the pipeline project will make it a reality in less
than expected time which will be a great service to the country and people of
Pakistan reeling under energy crisis.
Mughal lauded the patience of Tehran as the project was delayed for long due to
uncalled for US pressure on Islamabad to dump the venture essential for our
survival.
Allowing transfer of concession agreement for Gwadar Port from the Port of
Singapore Authority to the China Overseas Port Holding will attract further
investment, provide opportunities to people of Balochistan and bring Islamabad and
Beijing closer which are already like a family, he said.
He noted that announcement of long-awaited three-year Strategic Trade Policy
Framework in which an export target of $95 billion has been set backed by steps to
support the plan will help improve confidence in the business community.
The government should ensure that the recent Trade Policy does not meet the fate
of trade policy framework for 2009-12 which failed due to want of funds. The plan
of the Ministry of Water and Power to generate 3,000MW electricity from sugarcane
bagasse on fast track basis is equally encouraging, he observed.
He demanded that all the necessary amendments in the existing policies should be
ensured in time to attract investments to make plan of using 10 million tonnes of
bagasse for power generation a reality as soon as possible.
Lauding the US assistance for water and power projects and her cooperation for
optimum use of hydropower resources, Murtaza Mughal said that US should stop
opposing Iran gas pipeline project otherwise anti-US feeling will run high among
masses braving energy crisis.

Gwadar seaport holds key in China's energy search
China is expected to take operational control of the strategically located Gwadar

port on Pakistan's southwestern coast this month. The state-run Chinese Overseas
Port Holdings has bought the shares of Singapore's PSA International, the
concession holder and operator of the port, under a deal approved by the Pakistan
government.
China had contributed US$220 million to the construction of the seaport.
PSA was initially contracted to manage and develop the port for 40 years but
decided to quit it last year after Pakistan failed to transfer 236 hectares of land in
the Pakistan navy's hands for development. The port has so far remained a
commercial failure, as it still lacks road and rail connectivity to the rest of the
country.
Now China has become the builder and operator of an Arabian Sea port, near the
Strait of Hormuz. By virtue of its strategic location, the port can become a major
outlet for trade between China, Central Asia and the Gulf region.
Furthermore, energy-hungry China can achieve its strategic objectives associated

with energy security through its presence in Gwadar. The port is China's favourable
choice for oil trade: oil imports from Iran, the Gulf states and Africa can be
transported overland to northwestern China through the port.
Previously planned projects, such as the development of a Pakistan-China energy

882
Thu
corridor, may also materialise. China has already proposed to develop a
petrochemical city with an oil refinery in Gwadar. In 2007, the Chinese company
Great United Petroleum Holdings carried out a feasibility study of the US$13 billion
petrochemical city.
The establishment of a dry port at Sost, near the Pakistan-China border, the oil
refinery in Gwadar, the proposed rail and road projects, and the expansion of the
Karakoram Highway - these are all moves over the past decade towards building an
energy corridor.
Gwadar has the potential to play a major role in serving as a corridor for energy,
cargo and services between Central Asia, the Gulf and other surrounding regions.
Western China can benefit from the port through the Sost dry port, which will also
boost economic activity along the proposed highway linking Gwadar with the
Karakoram Highway in the north.
The movement of oil and trade between Pakistan and China will obviously gain
momentum when Gwadar is linked with the highway.
The Chinese have already built the railway to Tibet and its extension to Pakistan will
lead to a faster movement of cargo between the two countries.
However, despite the progress, China will face a daunting security challenge due to
increasing lawlessness in the insurgency-hit Baluchistan province.

All Day India should keep its nose out of Gwadar issue: FO -- Pakistan Today
ISLAMABAD - The Foreign Office (FO) has stated that Pakistan and China have not
yet reached an agreement on Gwadar Port, and that India’s concerns in this regard
are unwarranted. While replying to a question during the weekly briefing on
Thursday, FO Spokesman Muazzam Khan dismissed Indian concerns regarding
Pakistan’s decision to transfer the management of Gwadar Port to China, saying a
procedure was being considered to hand over the deep sea port to China. He said it
was a matter between Pakistan and China, and no other country needed to be
involved in it. To another query, he said that Pakistan had released 28 Taliban
militants, and it was making sincere efforts to resolve the Afghan problem. He
hoped that the Ulema Conference due to be held in Kabul on March 10 would lead
to the resolution of all the problems between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The
spokesman clarified that the FO had no connection with Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl
(JUI-F) leader Fazlur Rehman’s recent visit to Qatar, reportedly for a meeting with
the Afghan Taliban. Fazlur Rehman travelled to Doha of his own accord, he said.

All Day Pakistan-China Gwadar Port agreement to be ratified on Feb 18 -- Pak
News Desk
KARACHI: The operations of deep sea Gwadar harbor will be handed over to China
Overseas Port Holding Authority (COPH) under an agreement set to be ratified on
February 18, Dispatch News Desk (DND) reported on Saturday.
The accord signing ceremony will be undertaken at Aiwan-e-Sadr (Presidency), the

sources in the Prime Minister House said.
According to sources, the transition of the control from the Port of Singapore
Authority International (PSA) to COPH would complete within a week after the pact
was inked. On a side note it was also revealed that the terms and conditions of the
deal remain unchanged.
Gwadar Port is a warm-water, deep-sea port situated on the Arabian Sea at

Gwadar in Balochistan province of Pakistan. It is located at the apex of the Arabian
Sea and at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, approximately 460 km west of Karachi,
75km east of Pakistan’s border with Iran and 380km northeast of the nearest point
in Oman across the Arabian Sea.
It is situated on the eastern bay of a natural hammerhead-shaped peninsula

protruding into the Arabian Sea from the coastline. The harbour is owned by the
state-run Gwadar Port Authority and operated by PSA (2007-2012). Following the
completion of Phase I, the Government of Pakistan on 1 February 2007 signed a
40-year agreement with PSA for the development and operation of the tax-free port
and duty-free trade zone. PSA was the highest bidder for the Gwadar port after DP
World backed out of the bidding process.

All Day Gwadar integral to China’s maritime expansion -- Daily Times
Gwadar integral to China’s maritime expansion
ISLAMABAD: China’s acquisition of a strategic port in Pakistan is the latest addition

to its drive to secure energy and maritime routes and gives it a potential naval base
in the Arabian Sea, unsettling India.
The Pakistani cabinet on January 30 approved the transfer of Gwadar port, a

commercial failure cut off from the national road network, from Singapore’s PSA
International to the state-owned China Overseas Port Holdings Limited.
The Pakistanis pitched the deal as an energy and trade corridor that would connect
China to the Arabian Sea and Strait of Hormuz, a gateway for a third of the world’s
traded oil, overland through an expanded Karakoram Highway.
Experts say it would slash thousands of kilometres off the distance oil and gas
imports from Africa and the Middle East have to be transported to reach China,
making Gwadar a potentially vital link in its supply chain.
China paid about 75 percent of the initial $250 million used to build the port, but in
2007 PSA International won a 40-year lease with then-ruler Pervez Musharraf who
was reportedly unwilling to upset Washington by giving it to the Chinese.
Although it may take up to a year for the deal to be signed, Gwadar would be the
most westerly in a string of Chinese-funded ports encircling its big regional rival,
India, which was quick to express concern over the impending transfer.
In Nepal, China is building a $14 million “dry port” at Larcha, near the Tibet border,
along with five other ports and and is upgrading transport links with an eye to the
huge Indian market.
In Bangladesh, China is one of four countries, including India, Japan and the United
States, interested in building a $5-billion deep-sea port at Sonadia island in the Bay
of Bengal, according to the shipping ministry.
Sri Lanka in June 2012 opened a new $450 million deep-sea port at Hambantota,
close to the vital east-west sea route used by around 300 ships a day, built with
Chinese loans and construction expertise.
Although China has no equity stake in Hambantota, they have taken up an 85

percent slice of Colombo International Container Terminals Limited, which is
building a new container port adjoining the existing Colombo harbour.
Beijing is also a key backer of a port and energy pipeline in Myanmar that will
transport gas pumped offshore and oil shipped from Africa and the Middle East to
China’s Yunnan province, due to be finished by the end of May.
The ports were dubbed China’s “string of pearls” — or potential naval bases similar
to those of the United States — in a 2004 report for the Pentagon.
But some analysts now pour cold water on suggestions that Beijing is scouting for
naval bases in the Indian Ocean.
Andrew Small, an expert on China-Pakistan relations, believes that most of Beijing’s

concerns can be resolved through cooperation, as seen in anti-piracy exercises in
the Gulf of Aden that last year included drills with the US.
“In the near-to-medium term, it appears that China’s interests in this part of the
world lean far more towards developing capacities to deal with threats to sea lanes
of communication, Chinese citizens overseas and so on,” he told AFP.
“Plenty of Indian naval strategists are highly sceptical of the likelihood of many of
the locations... actually being used as military facilities by China.”
886
Sun
But Small does believe that Gwadar is the most mostly likely port to be developed
by China for use by the Pakistan Navy, and potentially their own.
“Pakistan is probably the only government where the level of trust between the two
militaries is high enough to make that a completely reliable prospect,” he said.
When asked about Gwadar, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying
said Beijing supports “jointly undertaken matters which are conducive to Chinese-
Pakistani friendship and to the development and prosperity of Pakistan”.
Other Pakistani experts suggest that Islamabad is more likely to give the Chinese
navy access to its existing naval bases of Karachi or Qasim.
“China can always use those. So they do not have to build another naval base at
this stage,” said Hamayoun Khan, who teaches at the National Defence University
in Islamabad.
Fazul-ul-Rehman, former director of the China Studies Centre at the Institute of

Strategic Studies Islamabad, dismisses the prospect of China going to war in the
Indian Ocean and calls Indian concern “propaganda”.
But he says China has become more cautious about big investment projects in
Pakistan due to security concerns. Taliban, sectarian and separatist violence blight
Baluchistan, the southwestern province around Gwadar. In 2004, three Chinese
engineers helping to build Gwadar were killed in a car bombing. The same year,
two Chinese engineers working on a hydroelectric dam project in South Waziristan
were kidnapped, and one of them died.
As a result, Rehman says there is a long way to go on China-Pakistan economic

cooperation and emphasises that Gwadar will be a long-term project with Beijing
looking for future alternatives to shipping routes for its oil and gas imports. afp

Gwadar Port handed over to China
GWADAR: President Asif Ali Zardari and the government have officially transferred
administrative control of the Gwadar port to Chinese authorities.
While addressing the official event where the transfer took place, the president
remarked that this occasion marked the start of new chapter in the lives of the
people of Balochistan and the Pak-China friendship.
He further added that this project was the dream of former Prime Minister Zulfiqar
Ali Bhutto. However, it was Benazir Bhutto, under whose leadership work on the
project commenced.
“It was Benazir Bhutto’s decision to develop Gwadar into a deep sea-port,” the
president said.
“It was in her second government that an authority was set up to complete the
project in two phases,” he further added.
The Gwadar port is of great importance to China as it will give the Chinese Navy
extra-strategic depth. Presence at the port would also enable China to gain easy
access to oil from the Middle East and African countries, which would then be
shipped to its northern and western provinces through Pakistan.
Last week, the Indian government claimed that the Chinese would use the Gwadar
port for demonstrating political power in the region and would use their influence in
Afghanistan. These allegations have been rejected by Pakistani authorities.

Zardari [ Images ] saying the move would give new impetus to bilateral relations
and economic cooperation.
Under the agreement for transfer of concession rights, the port will remain the
property of Pakistan while the Chinese company will share profits from its operation.
China Overseas Port Holdings Limited will fully assume responsibility for Gwadar
port in Balochistan province.
Speaking on the occasion‚ President Zardari said the agreement would give new
impetus to Pakistan-China relations and take bilateral political cooperation into the
realm of economic cooperation.
The handing over of the operations of Gwadar port to China is a manifestation of

growing ties and shows the trust that Pakistan has in the Chinese ability to deliver
on infrastructure projects, he said.
The development of a trade corridor linking Xinjiang to the Middle East through
Gwadar port will enhance trade between the two countries and in the region,
Zardari said.
Gwadar has strategic importance for China as around 60 per cent of its crude oil
comes from Gulf countries that are close to Gwadar, he said.
The agreement was signed by Gwadar Port Authority Chairman Syed Pervez
Abbas‚ Major General Asghar Nawaz of the army-run National Logistics Cell‚ AKD
Security chairman Aqeel Karim Dhedi, Leo Fong of China Overseas Port Holdings
and Port of Singapore Authority representative Faisal Javed.
Beijing [ Images ] provided about 75 per cent of the initial funding of USD 250
million for building the port.
On January 30, the Pakistan government had approved the transfer of the
management of Gwadar port from Singapore to China, which played a key role in its
construction.
It was being operated by Singapore's PSA International and needs further

development to become fully operational.
Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira had said last month that PSA International
could not develop or operate Gwadar "as desired".
The Chinese will make "more investments" to make the port operational, he said.
PSA International had signed a contract to manage and develop Gwadar for 40
years.
China, which is Pakistan's closest ally, had for long been a front-runner for taking
over the port.
Beijing has been working to develop a string of harbours in the Indian Ocean and
Arabian Sea.
It has funded ports in Sri Lanka [ Images ] and has been approached to help build a

Pakistan hands over Gwadar Port operation to China
Pakistan formally awarded the contract for the operation of Gawadar Deep Seaport
to China at an impressive ceremony here in Islamabad on Monday.
An impressive signing ceremony was held in this connection at Presidency that was
witnessed by President Asif Ali Zardari, Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Liu Jian,
Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar, some federal ministers, members of
parliament and senior government officials.
Spokesperson to the President Senator Farhatullah Babar said that the ceremony
actually marked the transfer of Concession Agreement from the Port of Singapore
Authority to the China Overseas Port Holding Company.
President Asif Ali Zardari while addressing this signing ceremony said it is an
auspicious development in Pak-China relations as well as for the people of Pakistan
particularly Balochistan and it will open an era of "new opportunities".
The President said Gawadar will soon be a hub of trade and commerce in the
region and it holds the key to bring together the countries of Central Asia and
lending a new impetus to Pak-China relations.
The President traced the history of development of Gawadar and how it was
envisioned by the PPP leaders Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Shaheed Mohtarma
Benazir Bhutto and the obstacles created in its way.
President Zardari also highlighted the strategic significance of the port for China
and Central Asian Republics and its potential of integrating the economies of the
countries in the region.
He said the Chinese provinces of Xinjiang and Tibet are closer to Pakistani ports as
compared to the ports in China adding that the development of a trade corridor
linking Xinjiang to the Middle East via Gwadar Port held "huge promise".
President Asif Ali Zardari said the Gwadar project had very significant and strategic
importance for China adding that nearly 60% of China's crude oil was imported from
the Gulf countries which would increase in the next decade.
He said because of the proximity of the Gulf countries to Gwadar the oil flow from
the Gulf to China would be greatly facilitated by the operation of this port.
The President said, "Handing over of the operation of Gwadar Port to China is
manifestation of our growing ties and also shows the trust Pakistan has in the
Chinese ability to deliver on our infrastructure projects."
He said development of a trade corridor linking Xinjiang to the Middle East through
Gwadar Port will enhance trade and commerce not only between the two countries
but also in the region.
He said it is an auspicious day in Pakistan-China relations and also an auspicious
day for the people of Gawadar and Balochistan.
The President said the Gwadar Port will take another leap forward in Pak-China
relations.
He said during the PPP government, a Fish Harbor cum Mini Port was built at
Gawadar and Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto visited Gawadar on December
14, 1989 to lay the foundation stone of Fish Harbor Project.
He said this became the stepping stone for the Gawadar Deep Sea Port.
He said Pakistan enjoys very cordial and brotherly relations with China adding that
it has made extraordinary progress over the past decades.
He said China has remarkable rise in the region which is a testimony to the wisdom
of its leaders.
The President said China is a source of inspiration for the peoples of developing
countries around the world.
Referring to strong Pak-China ties, the President said, "Our friendship has stood the
test of time and it is a relationship that is without parallel."
He said the foundations of this relationship were laid by visionary leaders of the
time of the two countries and these leaders were Chairman Mao Zedong, Premier
Zhou Enlai and Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. He said since then the friendship
between Pakistan and China has been growing.
The President said Pak-china friendship has been growing from strength to strength
adding that in recent years, "our two governments have injected new energy into
our relationship."

Mon
He said, "I have personally visited China nine times in the past four years and these
visits have helped deepen the strategic cooperation."
The President said his frequent visit to China demonstrates two countries'
commitment to forging even stronger ties.
"We are seeking to expand our existing areas of cooperation and exploring new
avenues for fruitful collaboration," he added.
The President said the handing over of the operation of Gwadar Port to China is a
manifestation of growing ties adding that it shows the trust in the Chinese ability to
deliver on infrastructure projects in Pakistan.
President Zardari said, "We also need to build infrastructure around the Gwadar
Port to promote regional trade and commerce."
The President also appreciated the Federal Minister for Ports and Shipping Babar
Khan Ghori, who could not attend the ceremony, for efforts in finalizing the
arrangements for this signing ceremony.
The President, however, lauded Babar Ghori's efforts in facilitating the transfer of
port operations to China.
Earlier, Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Liu Jian speaking on the occasion said
the transfer of Gwadar Port to China will bring tangible benefits to the two countries
and contribute to peace, stability and development of the region.
He said Gwadar Port is part of greater framework of economic cooperation between
Pakistan and China.
Four agreements were signed on this occasion to finally hand over all the
operations of Gwadar Deep Seaport to China Overseas Port Holding Company.
Managing Director China Overseas Port Holding Company signed the agreements
on behalf of his company with Syed Parvez Abbas Chairman Gwadar Port
Authority, Aqeel Karim Dhedhi Chairman AKD Securities, representatives of
National Logistics Cell and Singapore Port Authority which were the share holders
when the Gwadar Port was handed over to Singapore Authority.

Iran to set
up oil refinery in Gwadar
(Our Correspondent) / 25 February 2013
ISLAMABAD -President Asif Ali Zardari will visit Iran from February 27 to clinch the
much delayed and controversial Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline agreement.
Adviser to Prime Minister on Petroleum and Natural Resources Dr Asim Hussain
has said Iran has indicated to extend credit facility of $500 million for completion of
Pakistani part of the pipeline. Pakistan will raise another $1 billion from its own
resources.
No international financial institution is ready to provide credit for fear of American

sanctions. Last week Pakistan said the signing of the agreement was delayed
because of differences over pricing which have yet not been resolved.
Asim said that Iran, in cooperation with Pakistan State Oil (PSO) will also set up an
oil refinery in Gwadar.
Talking to reporters after holding a meeting with Rostam Qassemi, Iran’s Minister of
Oil, he said that the refinery would refine 400,000 barrels of oil per day.

All Day Sino-Pakistani ties endure despite challenges -- Global Times

Sino-Pakistani ties endure despite challenges
China and Pakistan have established a diplomatic relationship for more than 60
years, and the river of their friendship has run a long course. However, there are
increasingly doubts toward the friendship between China and Pakistan.
In 2010, the US provided Pakistan $690 million aid after the devastating floods in
Pakistan, 28 percent of all the aid it received, while China's contribution was less.
Western media made an issue of this, and criticized that China should take more
responsibilities.
In 2011, The Economist published an article questioned the China-Pakistan

friendship under the headline, "Pakistan and China: Sweet as Can Be?"
Also when China Overseas Holdings Limited took over operations of the Gwadar
Port, Indian media said the takeover would face many challenges from within
Pakistan.
So, is the relationship between China and Pakistan really as sweet as can be? The
book A Model of State-to-State Relations: Retrospects and Prospects of the China-
Pakistan Ties since 1951, edited by Du Youkang, a professor of the Center for
Pakistan Studies at Fudan University, believes that the relationship between the two
countries is at a new starting point with broad prospects for future development.
Du analyzes the two countries' mutual links to each other. Geopolitically, Pakistan is
China's closest friend in South Asia. Diplomatically, China constantly supports
Pakistan's efforts to promote regional peace and stability and combat terrorism.
Pakistan has also always supported the one-China policy.
The relationship between China and Pakistan has been tested by many incidents,
such as the sanctions on China imposed by Western countries in the 1980s and the
sanctions on Pakistan by the US in 1990s.
Du also gives detailed analyses of the great strategic meaning of the relationship
China is the second largest global economy, while Pakistan is one of the cradles of
the Islamic Revival Movement and the only Muslim country with nuclear weapons.
On the regional and international level, cooperation between China and Pakistan is
897
Thu
no longer a mere bilateral relationship, it also exerts influence on the economy,
politics and security of the whole region.
China and Pakistan view each other as "all-weather strategic partner." After efforts
by many generations of leaders, exchanges at all levels between the two are all
developing rapidly.
The international situation is in a transitional period, and South Asian dynamics are
undergoing many deep structural changes.
However, the relationship between China and Pakistan is established on the

foundation of deep-rooted public opinion. Although there are some factors that may
influence bilateral relations, for instance, the development of political relations
lagging behind economic exchanges and Indian factors, there are no major
differences or irreconcilable conflicts between the two.
China-Pakistan relationship will remain a model for countries with different social
systems to communicate and interact with each other in the future.

Gwadar port a gateway for trade with Central Asia: Harvest Tradings
February 22, 2013 RECORDER REPORT 0 Comments

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Harvest Tradings Ahmad Jawad has said Gwadar
Port could give the country an economic fillip. It could facilitate trade among at least
two dozen countries, including those in the Persian Gulf, the Central Asian States,
Iran, East Africa and so on.
Talking to INP on Thursday, Ahmed Jawad said that Gwadar port has the potential
of becoming a very trade-friendly facility. He said under the new arrangement the
Gwadar port would get a new status in the world and it would help remove the
sense of deprivation among the people of Balochistan. He said that it would
encourage local and foreign investment there. "We may create a business plan in
detail that 'How to utilise Gwadar in future'. Ministry of Commerce may assign the
task in this regard to TDAP and PHDEC accordingly." Jawad said that this port
should be termed as an energy port. The gas and oil deposits of CARs will find their
new storage destination at Gwadar, because of its natural flow direction. Even Iran
can benefit from Gwadar by securing an opening to the world market for gas and
oil.
Gwadar, one of the deepest ports, would promote massive economic activity in the
region which would not only benefit local people but also cast positive impact on
overall economy of the province and the country, he maintained. Ahmed Jawad said
that it would help bring Balochistan's coastal areas into socio-economic mainstream
and serve as a catalyst for fast-track development of the province. Recently the
fishery industry is one of the most important economic activities in Gwadar district.
About one-fourth of the total catch of different varieties in Pakistan is produced in
Gwadar.
On an annual basis there is potential for an additional catch of at least 70,000

tonnes. Fish processing at Gwadar is providing employment to many of the local
educated and uneducated unemployed youth. "In case fish farming and shrimp
farming are encouraged, it can double the quantity, besides improving the quality."

Pakistan seeks more Chinese investment
Engineering entrepreneur Almas Hyder said the developed economies around the
world shifted or outsourced their labor intensive industries to their low income
neighbors. The United States, he added, targeted Latin American economies for
bulk of its investment, Japanese promoted technology and skills in Far East Asia
with its investment; and the Eastern European countries became target of
investments from developed European Union economies.

He said China is one Pakistani neighbour that has almost achieved the status of a
developed nation. The country is now opting out of many low value labor intensive
industries. Currently, China’s share in total FDI of Pakistan is small, he added. It
peaked in $700 million in 2006-7 but like general trend in FDI from other countries it
was reduced to $47 million by 2010-11, he said.
He said official statics 2009-10 showed that total Chinese FDI in Pakistan amounted
to $1.37 billion, which was very low compared with the investments made by China
in rest of Asia.
“Pakistan actually needs Chinese investment in textiles particularly garment

industry and in light engineering and car industry where Pakistan enjoys
comparative advantage but lacks skills, technology and finances,” said S M
Tanveer, chairman of Punjab Industrial Estates Management and Development
Company. He said Chinese are well aware of this potential.
He said a number of Chinese companies approached the Punjab government in

late 2009 for establishing exclusive industrial estates for Chinese manufacturers
and companies. He said one company asked permission for an exclusive zone for
Chinese industries, spreading over 100,000 acres of land.
He said the Chinese were offered to establish in first phase a special industrial zone
on 20,000 acres. In fact, he added in the presence Punjab chief minister a
memorandum of understanding between the Chinese investors and the Punjab
government was signed on February 20, 2010.
He said the only hitch was that provinces were not authorised to allow special
industrial estates to foreigners. Now, the federal government, he added, has
through an act of parliament given this authority to the provinces.
He said special industrial zone authority is being formed in Punjab after which it is
hoped a number of special industrial zones will be established by the Chinese. He
said the Chinese company that offered to establish Chinese industrial zone in
Punjab is already operating an industrial estate in China spread over an area of
20,000 acres under the banner of the Asian International Development Ltd.

China and the United Arab Emirates will help Pakistan boost its electricity output by
expanding coal power in the country.
Burj Power, a development and advisory firm out of the UAE, inked an agreement
with China's Harbin Electric International Co Ltd., which will be the technical lead.
The project's price tag will range somewhere between $650 million and $700
million.
The group is building four coal-based power plants all at the Port Qasim capable of
125 megawatts (MW) each. The power could be online as soon as 2016.
Pakistan's state-controlled power producer, Karachi Electric Supply Co, will

purchase power from the plants. The purchase agreements are still being
negotiated.
Burj Power is also developing some wind power projects in Pakistan.
Harbin has an established base of over 30,000 MWs of thermal power plants and
was also the EPC contractor of recently completed Bin Qasim CCPP that is
producing 560 MWs for KESC.-PR

Gwadar - a port full of possibilities
By: Imran Malik
As the US/Nato/Isaf combine prepares to egress the AfPak Region (APR), we find
Pakistan and China manoeuvring decisively into strategically advantageous
positions in the region. Their strategic interests are converging on a grand scale at
Gwadar - the centre of gravity and future strategic and economic hub of the South-
Central Asian Region (SCAR)-Greater Middle East Region (GMER) complex.
Gwadar sits literally at the mouth of the strategically vital Straits of Hormuz. The
leverage it provides is priceless. Its strategic location makes it ideal for any power
intending to secure its energy sources in the region or to dominate the SCAR-
GMER complex, including all Sea Lines of Communication (SLOCs) to and from the
Persian Gulf.
Furthermore, naval forces stationed at Gwadar or other Makran Coast ports could
potentially foray deep into the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean too, even
impacting east-west trade.
A sea-land trade route to and from western or southern Europe to Russia via the
Mediterranean, Suez Canal, (North Africa and the Middle East), Red and Arabian
seas, Gwadar (Pakistan), Afghanistan and the CARs could integrate regional
economies and create mutually-beneficial interdependencies. From Gwadar,
another link could be created with the Xinjiang province in western China, thus
cutting by thousands the kilometres Chinese ships would have to travel to and from
China through the Malacca Straits. India also could be accommodated at some
appropriate stage. Gwadar could provide trans-shipment facilities for the entire
region. An exhaustive network of roads and railways, therefore, needs to be
developed in the Gwadar hinterland connecting it with Xinjiang, Iran, Turkey,
Afghanistan, CARs and Russia.
It as a matter of fact could be a more cost effective, all-weather alternative to the
New Silk Route Project (NSRP).
Thus, China’s imperatives to get to Gwadar are manifold.
The US is shifting pivot to the Asia Pacific as a part of its well known policy to
manage China’s rise and to contain it. Sixty percent of its naval assets are likely to
be deployed to the Asia Pacific by 2020. This would impact China’s ability to foray
out of its geographical confines to play a proactive role in world politics and trade. It
will contest being hemmed in or circumscribed by the US and its allies.
Further, China’s greatest vulnerability lies at the Malacca Straits, which is the
biggest chokepoint in the SLOCs to and from the Asia Pacific region. Thus, any
power (ostensibly, the US and its allies) controlling the Malacca Straits could use
this leverage to devastating strategic effect on any country in Asia Pacific. By
bringing the Straits of Hormuz within its strategic reach, China would acquire a
corresponding and competing leverage.
India is expected to play a very important role in the manifestation of this US grand
strategic design.
Pakistan and China will do well to operationalise a north-south trade corridor,
emanating from the Xinjiang province and going down south to Port Qasim, Karachi
and Gwadar. This trade corridor must comprise an expanded and improved KKH
with a railway line running parallel to it.
Since New Delhi has opted out of the Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) gas pipeline project
under US pressure, therefore, it must now be converted into an Iran-Pakistan-China
(IPC) gas pipeline. China could further secure its oil supplies (60 percent of its
crude comes from Iran) by having an oil pipeline from Iran running parallel to the
IPC gas pipeline.
India stands to lose enormously if it blindly follows the US lead in containing China.
It has already soiled its relations with Iran, to a great extent, by siding with the US
on its nuclear programme issue and opting out of the IPI gas pipeline project.
(Ironically, it has not opted out of the TAPI project.) The Indian SLOCs to and from
the Persian Gulf and CARs (via Chabahar-Herat) would lie within constant Chinese
oversight and strategic reach. The Indians are already wary of the Chinese, who
they feel are encircling them through a series of ports - a consequence of its ‘String
of Pearls’ strategy.
By establishing the north-south trade corridor, the Chinese would literally outflank
the Indo-US design of containing it to a great extent.

Pakistan has done well to develop Gwadar into a meaningful port. Its strategic
implications are quite apparent. China is making a massive investment in the
Gwadar area, adding 20 more berths there and will also develop the road
infrastructure in its hinterland (Road Gwadar-Ratodero). It also intends to create an
Economic Zone in Gwadar, which should go a long way in boosting the local,
national and regional economy.
Furthermore, Iran has shown readiness to establish a $4 billion oil refinery there.
The IP gas pipeline too would have an enormous economic impact in the region.
Pakistan and China must also develop a road-railways network from Port Qasim-
Karachi along the west bank of the River Indus and take it right up to Torkham and
beyond.
India, on the other hand, must understand the leverage that Pakistan is developing.
Good relations with Pakistan could ensure the provision of gas and oil through land
routes from Iran and the CARs. India could possibly open land trade routes to the
West and get access to Iran and Turkey, on the one hand, and Afghanistan, CARs,
Russia and Europe, on the other, NSRP.
Its energy needs could be met expeditiously and at much lower transportation
costs. In return, it could make all-out efforts to genuinely resolve all outstanding
issues with Pakistan. Kashmir and the water disputes rank the highest these days.
Pakistan, in return, could ensure that Indian energy requirements could be met
through the fossil fuel pipelines from Iran and the CARs. More so, the NSRP could
become a reality. However, if it turns into a gas and oil versus water war, then both
sides are likely to suffer. We must seek a win-win solution.
Gwadar is truly a port of immense possibilities and will be the hub of most political,
strategic and economic developments in the region for a very long time to come.

All Day Two-day Pakistan-Iran talks start -- (Source: nation.com.pk)
Two-day Pakistan-Iran talks start
ISLAMABAD - Ahead of President Asif Ali Zardari’s visit to Iran, a two-day long
bilateral talk on the import of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) from Iran to Pakistan
and construction of oil refinery at Gwadar started Monday.
High-ups from both sides of the petroleum ministries participate in the said
important talks with an aim to step forward to finalise strategically important deals
which in result would reduce energy woes in energy-starved Pakistan, a senior
official of Pakistan’s petroleum ministry said.
He said last week Iran had offered Pakistan to sell LPG at a discount of 30 dollars
per ton during the visit of Iranian Petroleum Minister Rostam Ghasemi to Pakistan.
Rostam Ghasemi during his visit called off President, Prime Minister of Pakistan
and Adviser to Prime Minister on petroleum & natural resources Dr Asim Hussain.
Initially, both sides agreed that at first stage Iran would provide 10,000 tonnes each
day LPG to Pakistan at a rate of $30 per ton while the quantity will go up with the
passage of time. Iranian LPG will be imported to Pakistan via road, the official
added.
A Pakistani delegation, comprising official of petroleum ministry led by DG Gas

Sher Khan, reached Tehran to materialise the deal and it is also likely that a
Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) would be signed on February 27 during the
expected visit of President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari to Iran. “Different MoUs
including installation of oil refinery at Gwadar having refining capacity of 4-lac barrel
per day, import of LPG and furnace oil etc are expected to be signed during
Zardari’s Iran visit”, official sources said, adding, “Talks on Peace Pipeline (Iran-
Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project) are near to bore fruits.”
So far both sides withstood tremendous pressure from U.S. but did not get deterred
to back off from their stance. The two sides finally agreed to sign what many duly
believe is a monumental agreement. The agreement between both brethren states
would be functional for 20 years and there would be a five-year extension. Tadbir
Energy has already shown its agreement to construct pipeline inside Pakistan. The
IP gasline project that will be completed by December 2014 will first bring 750
million cubic feet gas per day through 781-kilometer-long pipeline with a diameter of
42 inches, and later on, the gas flow will increase to 1 billion cubic feet per day.
It merits mentioning here that two states (Iran-Pakistan) are determined to make the
pipe dream a reality as both have expressed their affirmation with regard to bringing
Iranian gas to Pakistan despite persistent U.S. pressure to stop the project. Both
sides have already settled all technical issues while price of Iranian gas including
few other legal points of the agreement pertaining laying of 781 km long gasline on
Pakistani side are yet to be resolved. However, both Iran and Pakistan are so far
determined to proceed with the implementation of a pipeline project carrying Iranian
gas to Pakistan by December 2014 and a break through is possible during
President Asif Ali Zardari’s visit to Iran.
Earlier, crucial talks between Iranian Tadbir Energy and Pakistan Inter State Gas
System (ISGS) on $1.5 billion IP gasline was deferred due to Pakistan’s demand to
reduce gas price for Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline to bring it at par with the rates
finalised in Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) pipeline project.
Besides, the Inter-State Gas Systems and the Iranian firm had already reached on
a unanimous consensus that state-owned SSGCL and SNGPL would initiate
mechanical works while the FWO, a subsidiary of the armed forces, would carry out
civil works of the project while laying the pipeline from Gabd to Nawabshah inside
Pakistan. Cost of installing gas pipeline on a single kilometer and the interest rate
have already been settled on fourth day of last week’s talks. The cost would stand
at Rs190 milion and the interest rate 3 percent on $500 million loan. Iran had
demanded four percent interest rate on $500 million loan and Pakistan had
bargained for three percent interest rate over the committed loan.

President leaves for Iran today to ink gasline accord
ISLAMABAD - President Asif Ali Zardari will leave for Iran on Tuesday (today) to
sign Pak-Iran Gas Pipeline Project (PIGPP) agreement.
As per media reports, President Zardari will proceed to Tehran to sign the accord
related to PIGPP despite mounting pressure from US against entering into such
agreement with Iran.
In line with the agreement, Iran will extend loan amounting to 500 million dollars to
Pakistan for laying pipeline within its boundaries. Availability of investors has also
emerged a major issue with regard to this project for fear of imposition of economic
restrictions by US.
The Foreign Office (FO) spokesman during his weekly press briefing on Thursday
had brushed aside US pressure saying that PIGPP was very critical to Pakistan.
Country was facing energy crisis at present and taking forward PIGPP was in the
national interest, he added. President Asif Ali Zardari will not only sign agreement
but Iran will also build an oil refinery in Gwadar. Refinery will refine 400000 barrel
oil daily.
Both the countries will ink the formal agreement in regard to this project during this
proposed visit of President Zardari to Iran.
US is likely to mount its pressure further on Pakistan in the face of growing ties
between US and Iran. US state department said on Saturday Pakistan was having
better option than PIGPP to meet its energy needs. However Pakistan has put up
resistance to US pressure so far.
During last week Iranian oil minister had visited Islamabad and announced his
country would start supplying gas to Pakistan from December, 2014. Sources said
President Zardari prospective visit to Iran would play a crucial role in determining
Iran role in meeting energy requirements of Pakistan.
As per minister for petroleum Dr Asim Hussain, President Zardari will ink gas
pipeline project on February, 27. Besides it Pakistan will import Liquidated
Petroleum Gas (LPG) and hold talks with Iran for building oil refinery in Gawadar.
Iran has hinted at providing 10000 ton LPG daily initially to Pakistan and the
quantum of supply would increase in the days to come.
This development is taking place at such junction of time when US is reiterating its
reservations and possible stern reaction on PIGPP. India has already pulled out of
this project under US pressure. It seems as if assistance from Iran can offer partly
solution to the energy problem facing Pakistan.
The existing energy landscape is not only a perpetual source of embarrassment for
Pakistanis but also the US recipes designed for addressing energy crisis for
Pakistan are time consuming and expensive.
US insist Pakistan to import gas from Turkmenistan and Qatar instead of Iran. US is
extending cooperation to Pakistan in hydropower projects but it would take several
years to generate power from these projects.
Economic advisor to previous government Dr Ashfaq Hassan says energy crisis is
leaving negative impact on GDP growth rate of the country which remains on the
lower side by 3 to 4 percent.
Analysts said lack of growth in GDP rate has led to proliferate unemployment rate
and poverty incidence. Investment has come to stand still and the industries have
either been closed down or they are operating below their capacity. Riots and
demonstrations have become a common phenomenon due to prevailing energy
crisis in the country.
Gas shortfall has touched the mark of 2 billion cubic feet daily at present and the
country will be able to secure 750 to one billion cubic feet gas daily from Iran under
this project. . The gas will be utilized for generation of electricity ranging between
4000 to 5000 megawatt daily. As soon as this project completes the supply-demand
gap might have been widened.
Dr Ashfaq says the energy crisis is so deep that Pakistan should meet its
requirements no matter it gets energy from anywhere. The PIGPP is viable and
workable project at present.

IP gas line project: Zardari heads to Iran to seal deal today
Despite mounting US pressure, Presi-dent Asif Ali Zardari is leaving on Wed-

nesday for Iran to seal a $1.5 billion gas pipeline deal, it is learnt. The President
would meet his counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on February 27 and sign the
agreement of multibillion dollar Pak-Iran gas pipeline project. Both the leaders
would also discuss investment prospects in Gwadar Port, which is recently handed
over to a Chinese company.
According to presidential spokesman Senator Farhatullah Babar, Asif Ali Zardari

would undertake a two-day official visit to Islamic Republic of Iran on February 27,
2013. He said during the visit, the President will hold talks with Iranian leadership
on a host of bilateral issues and the regional situation. He said the President has
been urging for further strengthening of the bilateral relations and for early
completion of the mega projects between the two countries and expressed the hope
that the visit would lend further impetus to the efforts aimed at early completion of
the bilateral projects. The President would return on Thursday, he said.
Under the agreement of Pak-Iran gas pipeline project, Iran would extend a loan of
$500 million to Pakistan for laying the pipeline within its boundaries. Availability of
investors for the project has also emerged as a major issue due to fear of economic
restrictions by the US. Iran will also build an oil refinery in Gwadar. The installation
will refine 400,000 barrels of oil per day.

HYDERABAD: The Ambassador of Switzerland at Islamabad Christophe Bubb has

informed that a high level trade delegation of his country will soon visit Pakistan to
review the possibility of investment in different sectors.
While addressing the members of Hyderabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry
here at the Chamber's Secretariat on Wednesday evening, he said that relations
between the two countries were being strengthened with the passage of time and
the Swiss investors had made investments in different projects of Pakistan.
He however, said that industrial sector of Pakistan is being affected due to energy
crisis and without energy, the industrial production could not be possible. The agro-
based industry of the country is suitable for investment, he said.
President HCCI Goharullah in his welcome address said that due to satisfactory law
and order situation, Hyderabad is the ideal city for foreign investment.
He said that trade relations between the two countries are being improved at a rapid
pace and the trade quantum could be improved on a large scale if Pakistani
products could receive relief in taxes in Switzerland.
He invited the trade delegation to visit Hyderabad where investment opportunities
are available in different sectors including agro-based and power generation.

ISLAMABAD - Newly appointed Tajik envoy to Islamabad Sherali Jononov on
Wednesday said that Tajikistan was interested in Pakistan’s Gawadar port, adding
912
Thu
that Tajikistan government had completed Pakistan-Tajikistan road link work of their
side.
Talking to journalists at the Tajikistan embassy, he urged the international

community to establish peace in post-US Afghanistan through dialogue.
The newly appointed Tajik ambassador Sherali Jononov said that Tajikistan had
always supported the option of dialogue to resolve the problems in Afghanistan and
to maintain peace in the region.
Jononov said that the issue could not be redressed by use of force from any side
and ultimate solution of the issue was possible only through dialogue.
To a question, the Tajik envoy said that Tajikistan was interested in the completion
of the Pakistani port of Gawadar as it would prove the shortest way to trade with the
international community. Responding a query, he said the Pakistan-Tajikistan road
link development work had been completed. He expressed the hope that Pakistan
would complete their side of the road as well.
Earlier, the ambassador of Tajikistan told journalists that his country took an
initiative in December 2010, in support of other countries, following which United
Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring the current year as the
International Year of Water Cooperation.
Elaborating further, Sherali Jononov was of the view that for the implementation of
water-related internationally agreed development goals, and sharing of best
practices on cooperation among various water users, the Tajik government was
hosting a high-level international conference on water cooperation under auspices
of the UN in Dushanbe by August this year.
He said that the conference would be a two-day event in which the high-level
representatives from the member countries would participate.
The ambassador maintained that during the international conference two high-level
plenary sessions and four round table discussions would be made amid promoting
water cooperation as well as resettling the water issues.
He said that the construction of hydropower plants and the creation of reservoirs in
narrow mountain valleys would have minimal impact on the climate, environment
and would save water from evaporation, which was critical in account of global
warming challenges.

Trade corridor: Exports from Pakistan to Turkey
By APP
Published: February 27, 2013
ISLAMABAD: The planned Islamabad-Tehran-Istanbul trade corridor will help

Pakistan export its trade goods to Turkey without any hindrance. The trade corridor,
known as Economic Corporation Organization (ECO) trade corridor, will later be
expanded to the European countries. This decision was taken in the fifth meeting of
the ECO. At the Transit Transport Coordination Council meeting, held in Islamabad
last year, a source in the Ministry of Communications said that ECO provided an
opportunity of trade development as its member state borders are stretched from
Europe to South Asia and from the shores of Arabian Sea to the Russian frontiers.
He also said that Pakistan has extended transit trade facilities to land-locked
member states of ECO through its warm water seaports. The benefits of this facility
can not be optimised without an efficient road and rail network, he said. The
Ministry of Communications said that the National Trade Corridor would provide an
efficient and economical road network for inter-regional connectivity, particularly an
effective access to Pakistan’s seaports to ECO member states.

All Day Islamabad and Tehran are set to sign a deal for the refinery, -- APP
Islamabad and Tehran are set to sign a deal for the refinery, which will have a
400,000 barrels per day capacity, on March 11 [2013], the day two sides have
announced they will begin the Iran-Pakistan (IP) gas pipeline project on their
border.
Under the deal, Tehran will lay an oil pipeline from its territory to Gwadar to
transport crude oil for processing. Visiting Iranian oil minister Rostam Ghasemi last
month agreed in Islamabad to set up an oil complex with an oil refinery at the
Gwadar Port in Balochistan. The proposed refinery in Gwadar is expected to give
China an impetus to restart work on its Gwadar oil refinery after it was halted in
2009.
“If Pakistan and Iran succeed in completing the oil refinery and the pipeline, it may
prompt China to revive its projects of establishing an oil refinery in Gwadar and
laying an oil pipeline from Gwadar to western China to get oil supplies,” The
Express Tribune reported an unnamed Pakistani official as saying. “The coastal oil
refinery project may also create scores of employment opportunities for the local
people.”
Iran’s plan to lay an oil pipeline and establish an oil refinery in Gwadar is likely to
raise eyebrows in Washington, which is already opposed to the IP (Iran-Pakistan)
gas pipeline. The addition of oil to the pipeline mix being planned by the authorities
in Tehran and Islamabad comes at a time when the US is trying to block the Iran’s
oil exports to the world and pressing Islamabad to abandon the IP project because
of Tehran’s nuclear program. Gwadar is strategically located as a hub for South
Asia, Central Asia and West Asia, and is likely to emerge as a free oil port serving
as petro-chemical center for the region.
China last month took over operational control of Gwadar Port and agreed to put
funding in place that will make it the biggest investor in the port city after
simultaneously becoming the builder, financer and operator of the Arabian Sea port,
which is located near the Strait of Hormuz, through which most of its oil imports
transit. A major oil refinery could turn Gwadar into a transit terminal for Iranian and
African crude oil imports.
The proposed oil complex project will be completed by Iran in a joint venture with
Pakistan State Oil (PSO), the country’s oil marketing giant. The Gwadar refinery
plan will replace those for UAE-assisted Khalifa refinery, a plan that has been in
doldrums since 2007 and saw the UAE’s state-run International Petroleum
Investment Company (IPIC) finally suspending the work on the project. A China-
funded refinery project in Gwadar failed to make any headway due to financial
constraints and concerns over the security situation in Balochistan.
The plan to lay an oil pipeline from Iran to Gwadar was discussed between Pakistan
and Iran during the visit to Tehran of petroleum adviser Dr Asim Hussain in
December 2012. Iran also offered 100,000 barrels per day of long-term crude
supply to Pakistan on deferred payment.
China is expected to revive its earlier planned projects including establishment of an

oil city in Gwadar. A petrochemical city and a major refinery along with
petrochemical logistics and storage complexes were planned to be set up in the
proposed Gwadar oil city.
Under a deal signed between Pakistan and the China in 2006, Great United
Petroleum Holdings Company Limited (GUPC) of China agreed to conduct the
feasibility study and preparation work for the petrochemical city project in Gwadar
involving an initial investment of $12.5 billion. China had expressed interest in
constructing an oil refinery in Gwadar with an output of refining 60,000 barrels crude
oil per day, during former president Pervez Musharraf’s visit to China in February
2006. The refinery and the oil pipeline projects have been the part of the proposed
Pakistan-China energy corridor.
918
Thu
An oil pipeline from Gwadar to western China will reduce the time and distance for
oil transport from the Gulf to China and a major oil refinery at Gwadar would further
facilitate China’s oil imports.
Pakistan could function as an energy corridor linking the oil fields of Iran, and
possibly even Iraq, with the Chinese market by means of a pipeline that would cross
the Himalayas above Kashmir. Gwadar has greater scope as a free oil port in the
Asian region and it can serve as a future petroleum hub, meeting oil transshipment
requirements - not only of different countries, but of China in particular.
Imports of crude oil from Iran through the proposed pipeline would allow energy-
deficient Pakistan to meet its furnace oil requirements, which stand at nine million
tons per year, and will also save on transportation costs.
Pakistan will import 750 million cubic feet of gas per day (mmcfd) through the
proposed IP gas pipeline. The country however faces pressure in securing sufficient
funding for the project from foreign countries and financial entities due to the US
sanctions imposed against Iran because of its nuclear ambitions.
Tehran however agreed to provide $500 million loan to the country for laying the
pipeline in its territory after seeking assurance from Islamabad that it will not back
out under US pressure and complete the project on time. Construction of the
pipeline is estimated to cost Islamabad $1.5 billion.
Last month, the US State Department issued Islamabad a fresh warning on the IP
pipeline project after Pakistan’s federal cabinet on January 30 [2013] gave its final
approval for building a pipeline in its territory with financial and technical assistance
from Iran.
“The Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline is an important example of Tehran-Islamabad

cooperation, and despite hostilities towards the expansion of ties we must
overcome this opposition decisively,” AFP reported Khamenei as saying to Zardari.
“Accessing safe energy source is the first priority for any country including Pakistan.
In this region, the Islamic republic is the only nation that has safe energy resources
and we are ready to provide Pakistan its energy needs.”

All Day Another shipment of 26,000 tons of urea arrives at Gwadar --
RECORDER
Another shipment of 26,000 tons of urea arrives at Gwadar
Another urea shipment of some 26,000 tons imported from Saudi Basic Industries
Corporation (SABIC) has arrived at Gwadar Port. This is the second urea
consignment against $100 million credit facility being provided by the Saudi Fund
for Development (SFD). Under this facility, first shipment of some 27,500 tons of
urea was arrived on February 12, 2013.
A ship, MV KRONOS ISLAND, carrying some 26,154 metric tons of urea has
reached Gwadar port on Thursday. The ship was loaded and sailed from "Al-Jubail"
port of Saudi Arabia few days back and urea offloading has been initiated at
Gwadar port. As per initial tentative schedule provided by SABIC, some 115,000
metric tons of urea will be supplied during first quarter (January-March) of 2013, out
of which two shipments of cumulatively some 53,654 has already arrived while the
third shipment of 30,000 tons is also due during this month.
An official of TCP has also confirmed that urea consignment import from Saudi
Arabia under credit facility has arrived on Thursday. He said that another
consignment of imported urea is also schedule to reach Gwadar port in the second
week of March 2013. In January this year, a commercial agreement was signed
between Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) and SABIC for the supply of urea
against $100 million credit facility being provided by SFD.
As per the agreement, SABIC will supply approximately over 200,000 to 240,000
metric tons of urea to Pakistan under this facility. However, the total quantity
depends on the international price as if the prices will be on higher side Pakistan
will get less quantity and in case of lower prices, the country will get more supply
from SABIC. While, total delivery of imported urea is expected to complete till
December 2013, however, TCP is making efforts for early supply of commodity.

All Day China defends Gwadar Port deal at UN forum -- The News
China defends Gwadar Port deal at UN forum
GENEVA: China has asserted that Gwadar Port project is not only in the best
interest of Pakistan and China but also in the best interest of the region’s
development.
The Chinese representative spoke in favour of Pakistan-China friendship after

nationalist leader Mehran Baloch, the Baloch Representative to the United Nations
Human Rights Council (UNHRC), used his speech to the United Nation’s 22nd
general debate session of HRC to allege that Balochistan’s natural resources are
being exploited by Pakistan with help from China.
China took over management of the port on the Arabian Sea last week to finance
more than 80 percent of the $248 million development cost of the port. This
agreement is part of a plan to open up an energy and trade corridor from the Gulf,
across Pakistan to western China but the deal has not been liked by India, America
and Baloch nationalists who see it as the consolidation of Pakistani power in the
trouble-hit province.
China rarely replies to the criticism levelled against it at the UN forums but as if
anticipating that the issue of Gwadar port would be discussed, the Chinese
delegation had come prepared.
Mehran Baloch said that Saindak copper mines were being already “milked” by
China and “now Gwadar port has been handed” to China and it will be soon that
China will build a military base there too as former Defence Minister Ahmad
Mukhtar had publicly requested China to do so.
The Chinese representative, answering Mehran Baloch’s charges, told the

delegates that China and Pakistan are friendly neighbours and for a long time the
Chinese enterprises have taken an “active part in the development and construction
in all sections of Pakistan”.
He told that the Chinese enterprises are engaged in the Gwadar development
project as a joint co-opertion project between the two countries. “It’s part of the
friendly cooperation between the two countries” and nothing more should be read in
it.
Mehran Baloch said that with militarisation of Gwadar Port not only Baloch will
suffer but also the region and the world peace will face threats too. “It is not the port
alone. The planned airport there is 6,000 acres which is twice the size of Heathrow
London. A country which has its foreign exchange reserves less than second string
billionaires certainly cannot build the airport on its own.”
The Chinese representative replied that Gwadar port is not only in the “best interest
of the two countries and both people but also in the best interest of the region’s
development”.
Mehran Baloch said that Balochistan is used as drug conduit as the UN office on
drugs and crime (UNODC) has reported that drugs worth $30 billion pass through
Pakistan. He told the delegates that the data released by state banks implicitly
proves that this passes through Quetta and Peshawar.
He alleged that “the illegal money finances the war of terror in Afghanistan and the
death squads in Balochistan. Illegal money multiplies in turmoil and it means people
are deprived of their share”.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Army has refuted rumours and some reports that the Army
was not on board the handing over of Gwadar Port to China.A top ISPR official said
there was no truth in these reports as the whole country was united and supportive
of the fact that the friendly Chinese had been given the port for development.“It
does have a strategic and defence aspect as it is part of the coastal defence and is
close to Chabahar. There can be no eventuality that the defence people are not on
board,” the official said.He said even the shares of NLC were disposed of along with
some other share holders who sold their shares to make it possible for the Chinese
to take over the port development.

‘China can assist Pakistan in building regional railway hub’
PESHAWAR, March 15: China can provide financial and technical support in
construction of a regional railway hub for Pakistan.
The construction of the railway project will connect Pakistan with Xinjiang in China
and enhance the capacity of transportation between the two countries, which would
also add to a new outbound transportation line for western China, said director
Pakistan Study Centre, Sichuan University Chengdu, China, Dr Chen Jidong while
speaking as a keynote speaker at a seminar on Pak-China relations at the
University of Peshawar on Friday.
The seminar was arranged by the Department of International Relations in

collaboration with Institute of Policy Studies, Islamabad.
He said that the project would build trade and transport corridors by connecting
South Asia, West Asia, Central Asia and Western China, owing to the country’s
geographical advantages.
Dr Chen said that Pakistan had a railway network not younger than the year 1861,
aging by the day and needed arduous upgrading. The project, if pursued, would
transform Pakistan’s internal railway system and bring economic revival in the
country.
On this occasion, Chinese strategic analyst Prof Zhon Rong said that certain
external powers had been creating serious law and order situation in Balochistan
with the evil design to halt development of the area through Gwadar port
operations. He said that taking over of operations of Gwadar Port by a Chinese
company to go with the railway project, could transform Pakistan into economic
giant of the 21st century.
“Gwadar Port is first for the development of Pakistan and then any other country,”
he said and added the American withdrawal by end of 2014 would start the
beginning of golden period for Balochistan.
Responding to a question, Prof Zhon said that the Pakistani government had
handed Gwadar Port over to a Chinese company because the Singapore company
could not deliver the desired results.
He said that that now when Americans were planning exit from Afghanistan it was
hoped that unrest in Balochistan would decrease and Gwadar operations would
eventually succeed.
Department of International Relations chairman Dr Adnan Sarwar said that the old
slogans of deeper than sea and higher than sky for Pak-China relations must be
transformed into something tangible by boosting economic ties.

Sat
University of Peshawar, in collaboration with Institute of Policy Studies Islamabad.
Jidong claimed the project is in the greatest advantage of Pakistan, and will build
trade and transport corridors by connecting South Asia, West Asia, Central Asia
and Western China.
According to a report published in The Hindu on September 1, 2012, a portion of
the railway track from Kashgar to Hotan in southern Xinjiang began in June last
year, whereas work has not yet started beyond that.
The line is planned to run from Kashgar, the Old Silk Road town, to Xinjiang region,
the report said.
Chinese strategic analyst Professor Zhon Rong said the taking over of Gwadar port
by a Chinese company along with this new project can transform Pakistan into an
economic giant of the 21st century.
“Let me tell Pakistani people that Gwadar Port is first for the development of
Pakistan and then for any other country. The US withdrawal by end of 2014 (from
Afghanistan) would start the beginning of a golden period for Balochistan,” he said.
“Gwadar port will always belong to Pakistan. The Pakistani government has handed
it over to a Chinese company because the Singaporean Company who was in
charge of port operations in 2007 could not deliver the desired results,” added
Rong.
When a student inquired about the role of China post-2014, Jidong said China
prefers participation of the Afghan people in the peace process.
“We have no favours or opinion to offer on talks of the Afghan government with the
Afghan Taliban, but China does want to play a moderate and neutral role in
Afghanistan,” he said.
Department of International Relations Chairman Professor Dr Adnan Sarwar Khan
said the old slogan ‘deeper than the sea and higher than the sky’ for Pak-China
relations must be transformed into something tangible by boosting economic ties.
“If other regional countries can have alliances and organisations like Nato, why
can’t we have IPC (India Pakistan China) or APC (Afghanistan Pakistan China)
cooperation to boost regional peace and economy,” he said.

Secretary General Syed Ali Nawaz Gillani and a large number of students attended
the seminar.
All Day Pakistan’s Gwadar Port Project: Shielding Facts -- Eurasia Review
Pakistan’s Gwadar Port Project: Shielding Facts –
By Eurasia Review -- (March 16, 2013)
By Umm-e-Habiba
The Gwadar port is one of the major sea ports in the western Indian Ocean region.
It lies in the south-western coast of Pakistan and is only 180 nautical milesi from the
Strait of Hormuz, the global energy conduit. Gwadar accordingly serves as a
gateway to the Strait which hosts oil worth 17 millionii barrels per day for the
international markets. The port’s strategic value is further magnified as it lies at the
confluence of three geopolitically significant regions of the world, i.e., Central Asia,
Middle East and South Asia.
It is, nonetheless, unfortunate that a project of such tremendous national

significance could not lift from the ground beyond the initial phase and despite
passage of more than a decade. The statement of Minister of Port and Shipping
before the Senate Standing Committee in August 2012 attributing the failure to
Pakistan Navy’s hesitancy in parting with the land for the project was quite a
misrepresentation of facts. At best, it was a poor attempt to shift the burden of
responsibility for lack of progress in making the port functional from political domain
to the navy.
The port was handed over to Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) in February 2007
for a period of 40 years. According to settled terms and conditions of the agreement
between PSA and Gwadar Port Authority (GPA), PSA had to invest $3 billion in the
931
Sat
project, out of which $550 millioniii were to be invested in the first five years.
Several concessions were provided to PSA in the form of Free Trade Zone,
exemption from corporate tax etc. A tax-free umbrella was also extended to the
construction material and equipment as well as operation of the port. Moreover the
bunker oil used in the port or sold to visiting ships was also declared as duty free.
These privileges were declared valid throughout the concession period which was
for 20 years from the date of the agreement.
Of a total of 2200 acres of land at Gwadar earmarked for PSA’s operational

activities, also included was about 584 acres at Shamba Ismail (Gwadar)
exclusively belonging to Pakistan Navy. Interestingly the land at Shamba Ismail had
been under the legal ownership of Pakistan Navy (PN) since 1980. It was procured
by Pakistan Navy from the government of Balochistan purely for assembling
defensive, logistics and operational needs which made it the official owner much
before the GPA-PSA deal was even dreamed up.
Much against above, the land at Shamba Ismail was made part of Gwadar Port
Development plan in 2004-5, without following even the rudimentary legal
procedure or involvement of Pakistan Navy. The case was presented to the then
Prime Minister of Pakistan through Ministry of Port and Shipping in 2008.
Subsequent scrutiny of the records and facts revealed PN’s claim to be just and
legal. Considering the land in possession of PN to be vital for national maritime
defense, the Prime Minister directed PN to spare only 30 acres of the land for
development of rail/road link essential for operations of PSA.
In the larger national interest however, it was agreed to hand over the fully
developed land to Ministry of Ports and Shipping/ GPA on the proviso that an equal
and appropriate allotment be made at Gwadar; development funds be provided by
Ministry of Ports and Shipping and PN be allowed to retain 84 acres at Shamba
Ismail for operational errands. Consequently, Government of Balochistan offered
two pieces of land to Pakistan Navy. Feasibility studies for both were conducted,
and land proposed at North Bay of Phishukan was found appropriate and indicated
to all concerned accordingly.
The August 2012 statement by the Minister for Ports and Shipping thus belies his
claim that Government’s failure to transfer 584 acres of land in ownership of PN had
been the major obstacle towards meeting contractual terms with PSA. The claim is
contradictory to actual facts. PN has communicated its willingness to part with land
at Shamba Ismail subject to conditions identified.
It is common knowledge that contract with PSA was the result of political
expediency and was executed in haste in a non-transparent, non professional
manner. It contained numerous clauses that at best made the agreement ‘suspect’.
Instead of protecting the mutual interests of the contracting parties, the agreement
terms overwhelmingly favored PSA. It would be in the fitness of matter if the nature
of checks or oversight mechanism between 2007-12 is made public. It is believed
and, not without substance that PSA did not fulfill even the conditions of the
‘Concession Agreement’. For the said reason alone, the port which was once
deemed to provide an economic windfall opportunity for the country was rendered a
white elephant.
The recent handing over of the operational rights of Gwadar port to China though
late is indeed a welcome step. One only hopes that the project becomes a profitable
national enterprise sooner rather than later.

Chinese control of Gwadar Port: Challenges & opportunities
Dr. Raja Muhammad Khan
Owing to its strategic location and God gifted natural resources, the Balochistan
Province of Pakistan has always been at the centre stage of regional and global
politics. The famous writer and geographer, Robert D. Kaplan describes the
province of Balochistan as, “One key to its fate is the future of Gwadar, a strategic
port whose development will either unlock the riches of Central Asia, or plunge
Pakistan into a savage, and potentially terminal civil war.”
Unfortunately, Pakistan could not unlock the riches of the Central Asia and Caspian
yet. However, it is experiencing the wide spread instability and law and order
situation in the province of Balochistan, ever since the developmental work on the
Gwadar port started in 2002.
Located at the mouth of Persian Gulf, right at the proximity of the Straits of Hormuz,
the Gwadar port of Pakistan has a strategic significance.
Since the major shipping route connecting three main continents; Asia, Africa, and
Europe are passing through the vicinity of this port, therefore, it has attained the
status of a key strategic and commercial port. Over sixty percent of global trade and
transportation of oil tankers takes place through the neighbouring waters of the
Gwadar Port, the Straits of Hormuz. In connection with the global trade, Gwadar
port presents itself as the best alternative and the storage port, as it can handle the
major ships and oil tankers. “The 14.5-meter draft of the port will be able to
accommodate up to “fifth-generation” ships, including Panamax and mother
vessels.”
The idea of building a commercial port at Gwadar was initially conceived in 1964.
However, owing to the lack of requisite finances and expertise, the project remained
unimplemented for these long years. In 2001, China agreed to invest in the
development of Gwadar Port. The port was developed with the basic concept of
stimulating the economic growth in the northern and western parts of Pakistan.
Besides, the port was also aimed at providing the shortest possible approach to
Arabian Sea to the landlocked Central Asian Republics and Afghanistan for their
transhipment facilities. By virtue of its strategic location, the Gwadar port is a place
of great strategic value, giving tremendous boost to Pakistan’s importance in the
whole region. It allows Pakistan to extend an influence from the Persian Gulf
through the Indian Ocean to Southeast Asia. The Gwadar deep-sea port has the
potential to remain operative throughout the year and can handle large ships. Being
a hub between energy efficient and energy deficient countries, it can facilitate both
China and India in connecting them with energy rich Middle East and Central Asia.
China developed the port in a record period with an initial investment of $248
million. Upon completion of its development, in March 2007, the port was handed
over to the Port of Singapore Authority (PSA), through an open bidding for a period
of forty years. As a concession, the PSA was given corporate tax exemption by
Pakistan for the entire period of forty years.
The otherwise concessional agreement, delimited PSA to invest $3 billion on the
project. PSA was to invest $550 million in the first five years, which it had not done,
until 2012. Besides, the Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) was to receive revenue from
PSA, which was not insight. Whatever be the reasons, PSA could not operationalize
the Gwadar port, as agreed in the bi-lateral agreement. Moreover, it failed to invest
the agreed amount in five years even. Additionally, the efficiency of this globally
known port authority has remained much below the expectations.
This could be imagined from the fact that, not a single commercial vessel could
reach the Gwadar port in last five. Indeed, “The port has so far remained a
commercial failure, and is operating at about 15% of its capacity. So much so the
machinery originally installed by China started rusting for lack of use.
Over the last few years, there was realization among the strategic community of
Pakistan that, the port is not being utilized as envisaged; rather, it is rapidly
becoming a white elephant. At the level of Pakistan Government, it was felt that,
“the Gwadar port project is a disaster, as the 40-year concession agreement with
the PSA has not yielded any results in its first five years.”
Thus, it was clear that, the Government and the PSA are in default of
934
Mon
commitments,” yet, this national asset could not be left at lurch for a long. It was in
the same milieu that, Pakistan finally reached to the conclusion that, port is not
serving the purpose for which it was built; therefore, the agreement with PSA should
be reviewed and given to someone who could really administer and operationalize
it.
On February 18, 2013, the Government of Pakistan finally signed an agreement
with Chinese government-owned China Overseas Port Holdings Ltd for the
administration and operationalization of the Gwadar Port. It is a well deliberated and
indeed the long awaited decision by the Government in the best national interest of
Pakistan. The decision has invited lot of direct speculative criticism from India and
indirect criticism from Pakistani ally and Indian strategic partner; United States. In
its first official reaction, the Indian Defence Minister called the deal as a, matter of
“serious concern” for India, which in fact is beyond perception and amount to
interference in the internal affairs of Pakistan. The Indian and western media
hurriedly propagated that, “China harbours the intention to build naval bases there.”
Indeed, a recommencement of the old jargon, ‘String of Pearls concept’ that China
rejected times and again. It indeed is a concept jointly crafted by Indian and US
strategists’ way back in late 1990s.
China however maintains that, neither it has any plan to encircling India nor heading
for a string of pearls strategy. Rather, Chinese policy is a peaceful rise in a low
profile with economic cooperation and interdependence; a win-win situation for all.
Whereas the strategically located Gwadar port is primarily meant for the economic
and socio-political needs of Pakistan, would also provide an easy excess to China
for the overland transportation of its energy resources from Gulf and Central Asia. It
would give Chinese western autonomous region; Xinjiang an easy excess to the
Arabian Sea, thus opening new vistas for the development and economic
prosperity.
“If a pipeline connecting the port to western China is built, the shortest route for oil
imports from the Middle East can be realised.
It is worth mentioning that, Sino-Pakistan relationships are not limited to the
development and operationalization of the Gwadar deep-sea port. Indeed, Chinese
companies have been (and still) working for the development of a number of socio-
economic projects in Pakistan. Indeed, “China and Pakistan are friendly
neighbours.
Over the years, Chinese companies have been actively participating in the
cooperation projects across the board. As long as these things are conducive to
China-Pakistan friendship and for the development and prosperity of the country,
the Chinese side will actively support them.” In an interview, the Chinese
Ambassador to Pakistan clarified that, “This bilateral arrangement is in the
economic interest of the peoples of China and Pakistan.” It has no military motives,
thus, Indian propaganda is baseless. “China’s intentions in taking over Gwadar Port
have been interpreted through a military perspective.”
Besides India and United States, over the years, there have been many
speculations among regional states that, once Gwadar Port is fully operationalized,
ports of neighbouring countries would lose their significance. International actors,
opposing the port have directly or indirectly contributed towards the destabilization
of the province of Balochistan. Local Baloch population was provoked in the name
of Baloch sub-nationalism that their rights over their own land are being
compromised by the Federal Government. Upon heavy funding by rivals of the port
and particularly India, some mislead elements of the Pro

All Day Pak-Iran gas pipeline a landmark achievement: Raja -- APP
LAHORE (APP): Opposition Leader in Punjab Assembly Raja Riaz Ahmed on
Thursday paid tribute to President Asif Ali Zardari for keeping the democratic
system intact besides foiling a lot of conspiracies.
Addressing a luncheon hosted by President's Coordinator Muhammad Naveed
Chaudhry for journalists and on completion of five year tenure of the democratic
government at a local hotel, Raja said five years back there was a dictator's rule in
the country and the media was not independent during that time period.
He said President Asif Ali Zardari had always welcomed positive criticism and said
that it was a right of the media to criticise. It was the biggest achievement of the
PPP-led government that it let the media to flourish during its tenure, and now it
would be a challenge for the upcoming government to maintain it, he added. He
said Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto gave the Constitution of 1973 and President Asif
Ali Zardari had restored it in its real form.
The federal government had given billion of rupees to the provinces under the NFC
Award, adding that the president had handed over his powers to parliament and the
prime minister, he added. Raja said salaries of government employees had been
increased by 135 percent and 7.5 million families were getting benefit from the
Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) initiated to provide financial help to the
poor.
He said the federal government had added 3600 mega watt electricity to the
national grid, on the other hand, the Punjab government had not even added a
single mega watt to the national grid.
He said the Iran-Pak gas pipeline was one of the biggest achievement of the PPP
government while Gwadar port would bring about revolutionary changes as it was
auspicious development in the Pak-China relations as well as for the people of
Pakistan, opening for them "new opportunities".
He said Gwadar would soon be a hub of trade and commerce in the region. He said
the Punjab government had failed to deliver good as it started various projects like
Sasti Roti, Dannish School, Metro Bus Service but wasted hefty amount on these ill
planned schemes. He said the Food Support Programme started by the Punjab
government just collapsed in six months and one could imagine their poor planning
in the province. He said the Punjab government had just given Rs 40 billion for
developmental work of south Punjab out of Rs 600 billion and rest was utilized on
all mega projects just in Lahore.
He said due to poor governance of the Punjab government different departments,
including health, education and others were awfully suffering. Presidents
Coordinator Naveed Chaudhry said with the grace of Almighty Allah, the PPP would
form the next government in Punjab on the basis of its performance.
He said the PPP was the party of the poor and it would remain work for the uplift of
the deprived ones. Criticizing the Punjab government, he said ownership certificates
were being distributed to residents of Katchi Abadis, adding that it was nothing just
a political gimmick. In Ring Road phase-XI, the Punjab government had obliged
their favourites, he added. He said the Punjab government claimed that the metro
bus project was completed with an amount of Rs 30 billion but reality was different.
He said Joseph Colony incident had also exposed the poor governance of the
Punjab government.

Zardari urges use of Gwadar port for trade
ASHGABAT: President Asif Ali Zardari on Thursday called for greater regional
cooperation in areas of counter-terrorism and energy and urged the Central Asian
Republics to use Gwadar port for trade.
Speaking at the opening session of the International Conference on Nauroz here at

the Rukhyat Palace, the president said the region was of great geostrategic
importance and underlined the need for robust road and rail links to enable its
countries to fully exploit their natural resources.
He said Pakistan was ready to play its role in this regard. “We are willing to facilitate
transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Central Asia to South East Asia
and other world markets. The latest and modern seaport of Pakistan at Gwadar is
the shortest route for Central Asian states to the Arabian Sea,” Mr Zardari said.
He said that Gwadar port offered excellent facilities for export of LNG and other
products. “We are also ready to provide safe transit of piped gas to neighbouring
countries.”
Pakistan was keen to implement the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India

(Tapi) and the Iran-Pakistan (IP) pipeline projects, Mr Zardari said. He pointed out
that work on the IP project was inaugurated recently.
He also underlined the need for strengthening regional cooperation in the areas of
security and counter-terrorism. Pakistan firmly believed that peace and stability was
a prerequisite for economic progress and development.
“We are keen to promote friendly relations with all, especially our neighbours and
other regional countries. We are ready to work together with them for peace,
progress and prosperity in the region,” he remarked.
President Zardari said that Pakistan and the Central Asian states were members of
the Economic Cooperation Organisation whose main objective was to build
infrastructure in the region.
He said that “connectivity through rail, road and air links was important not only
within the region but also beyond”.
The president said the presence of leaders of regional countries or their

representatives at the conference reflected the underlying strength of their common
cultural and religious values and traditions.
“Our common traditions are deep-rooted in history,” he said and termed Nauroz a
symbol of the common heritage. “We particularly need closer cooperation in trade,
communications, transportation, energy and infrastructure,” President Zardari said.
He congratulated Turkmen President Gurbanguli Berdimuhammedov for the

excellent arrangements made for the festival and thanked the people of
Turkmenistan for their warmth and hospitality.
The conference was also addressed by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,

Tajik President Emomali Rehmanov and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
On the occasion, President Berdimuhammedov thanked the delegations for visiting

his country and celebrating with him Nauroz that he said symbolised a new dawn.
He said Turkmenistan had always worked for good neighbourly relations and that
neutrality was the cornerstone of its foreign policy.
He said that national, regional and global development could only take place in an

work on all ongoing development projects in Balochistan. He also directed the
Planning Division and Ministry of Finance to remove procedural obstacles in
consultation with the provincial authorities for timely completion of these projects.
Prime Minister was speaking at a briefing on various development projects in the

province during his visit here Wednesday.
These included Gwadar Port, Gwadar Development Authority, Kachhi Canal

Project, Ratodero-Khuzdar Road Project, Naulang and Mirani dams’ projects here.

because of shortage of funds or any procedural impediment.
Earlier, the Chairman WAPDA briefed the prime minister that the Kachhi Canal
Project will be completed by June 30 this year and irrigation water will be available
to lands on either side of the canal.
He said that Kachhi canal project management has already sought the services of
National Engineering Services Pakistan NESPAK for efficient implementation of the
project.
About Naulang Dam, he said the progress on the dam was delayed due to
unavailability of funds. However, the project will soon be completed as sufficient
funds have been released for it.

province, but also usher entire nation in an era of development," prime minister
remarked. Federal government will also look into the proposal for appointment of
Chief Minister Balochistan as chairman Gwadar Port Authority.
About expansion of Gwadar Port, the prime minister was briefed that the project
would cost Rs 25 billion, which also included establishing a Free Trade Zone while

All Day Pakistan to benefit from Gwadar Port development -- APP
Pakistan to benefit from Gwadar Port development
We have witnessed two strategic decisions being implemented in recent days. Both
will have far reaching impact on the region and beyond. The nature of Pakistan’s
external relations is undergoing a sea-change. Geographical realities and economic
compulsions have taken Pakistan closer to China and Iran. The management of
Gwadar Port has been given to a Chinese company. Since Gwadar has strategic
location, close to the Strait of Hormuz, this decision has evoked unusual
international interest. On the other hand, work has started on the Pakistani portion
of gas pipeline coming from Iran. It is expected that the pipeline will be completed
by the middle of next year.
Pakistan has disregarded the US pressure against engaging with Iran. Appreciating
the dire situation of energy starved Pakistan, Iran has decided to build a big oil
refinery at Gwadar and supply 1,000 megawatts of electricity. While the United
States has minced no words in showing its displeasure for Pak-Iran cooperation, it
is the US policies that have obliged Pakistan to get closer to China and Iran.
Despite all the loud talk, the US did precious little to assuage Pakistan’s energy
woes. All it has done is build a very small dam at Satpara near Hunza and upgrade
a portion of the Tarbela Dam.
Had it built the Bhasha dam in last decade, it could easily persuade Pakistan to wait
for the gas pipeline to come from Turkmenistan.
Pakistan has crippling gas and electricity shortages right now. No CNG is available
for the vehicles three days a week in Islamabad. There is no electricity in the rural
side for hours.
Faisalabad, the major textile city, has an unemployment rate of 40 per cent as
against the national figure of 20 per cent. The industry and exports have suffered a
huge blow due to energy shortages. And this is happening in a country which has a
potential to produce 60,000 MW of hydel power. This is happening in a nation that
is rich in coal reserves.
It is nothing but mismanagement and lack of proper planning. The leadership has
let the people down. While dams take years to build, the Iranian gas is a quick-fix
for Pakistani energy woes.
Both these decisions will revive the moribund Pakistani economy in a big way.
Gwadar Port management was awarded by the last government to a company from
Singapore. But apparently it was a wrong decision as Singapore had no national
stakes in this port. The decision to give it to the Chinese company is a win-win
situation for both nations.
Some speculative reports in international media have suggested that Gwadar would
have a Chinese naval base. These reports are wrong and motivated.
This port will reduce the transport distance and time of cargo coming from the GCC
countries, Africa and Europe and destined for China.
This benefit will also accrue to the goods being transported from China to these
nations and continents. China has a big shipping fleet and shall be able to use this
port to the optimum.
What benefits can Gwadar Port bring for Pakistan in general and Balochistan in
particular? Pakistan has two ports right now, Karachi and Bin Qasim. Both are
extension of each other. While Karachi handles commercial cargo, Bin Qasim is
meant for industrial goods.
Gwadar is about 500 kilometers west of Karachi. It is closer to the GCC countries
and Iran. One major benefit to accrue to Pakistan would be the savings in freight
942
Sat
charges for its oil imports and these will be substantial. Right now Pakistan navy
ships invariably escort the oil tankers up to Karachi.
That may not be required now as Gwadar is a short hop from Hormuz. This will
release Pakistan Navy ships for other duties. In not too distant future Makran coast
will be linked to western China by road, railways and pipelines.
This will be one of the busiest trade and energy corridors in the world.
However, implementation of these two decisions would require much determination.

Pakistan may not face sanctions right now but could face international isolation
later.
But the leadership and people must stay the course. I see a prosperous Pakistan
with an even richer Balochistan in not too distant future.

All Day Gwadar port's significance -- Observer
Sunday, April 14, 2013 - After a botched attempt to poise the Gwadar port as
among the region’s most valuable ones, mainly due to an oversight of details,
incompetence, lack of interest and an outright clash on who owes what, by the
government and Port of Singapore Authority (PSA), who was given the contract to
exploit its maximum potential, the government of Pakistan has handed over the
port’s operational control to China, much to the chagrin of quite a few international
powers. The port that was supposed to change Pakistan’s commercial activities has
remained virtually inactive due to non-fulfillment of commitment by the PSA and a
lack of road infrastructure to connect it with county’s major commercial and
industrial cities.
However, Islamabad hopes that this would change as a multi-billion dollar deal with
China expected to see port’s development work sped up and a healthy increase in
country’s trade and commerce activities. Situated at the cross-junction of
international sea shipping and oil lines between the Middle East and the rest of the
world, including China, Gwadar can play a crucial role not only in Pakistan’s
development but also as a hub for international trade activities, the fruits of which
could catapult Balochistan into a hyperdrive on the road to success.
What Pakistan should be careful about, though, is that it should make sure there
were no let-ups in the deal between the two neighbouring countries, and that even
minute details would be looked into to avoid repeat of what happened to the deal
between the PSA and the government of Pakistan. The Supreme Court has already
taken suo motu notice of PSA’s failure to deliver, and a second such failure might
just push the project over the edge and dash down the hopes that the people of this
country have from this project.

All Day Pipelineistan Geopolitics at Work: Iran, Pakistan, Syria, Qatar. -- Global
Research
Construction is nearing completion on a natural gas pipeline linking Iran and
Pakistan, a project that portends a huge geopolitical shift. As regional powers
strengthen ties in this key energy market, they’re looking to China, and away from
the West.
Since the early 2000s, analysts and diplomats across Asia have been dreaming of a
future Asian Energy Security Grid.
This – among other developments – is what it’s all about, the conclusion of the final
stretch of the $7.5 billion, 1,100-mile natural gas Iran-Pakistan (IP) pipeline, starting
from Iran’s giant South Pars field in the Persian Gulf, and expected to be online by
the end of 2014.
Nobody lost money betting on Washington’s reaction; IP would put Islamabad in

“violation of United Nations sanctions over [Iran’s] nuclear program.” Yet this has
nothing to do with the UN, but with US sanctions made up by Congress and the
Treasury Department.

Sanctions? What sanctions? Islamabad badly needs energy. China badly needs

importance of this port is strategic in nature and it can be visualized to become a
regional hub serving incoming and out going commercial traffic of Middle East,
Central Asian Republics and Gulf countries. It will attract trade from over twenty
countries including Srilanka, Bangladesh, Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq
and Iran. Keeping such profile of trade in perspective it is natural to plan
establishment of an Export Processing Zone in Gwadar on priority basis.
The Federal Minister assured Chairman EPZA and his team that the Ministry will
extend all out support for establishment of an Export Processing Zone in Gawadar
and instructed EPZA Chairman to immediately speed up the work in this regard.
Chairman EPZA, Mr. Saadat S. Cheema informed the Federal Minister that
Gawadar is already on the top priority of his team. He mentioned that the land
which has been allocated for EPZA in Gwadar is far from the port, we therefore
request for its re-allocation near the port as otherwise Export Processing Zone in
Gawadar will become a lesser attractive business proposition for the investors. By
moving close to the port we may well become a country specific export processing
zone, keeping in perspective the significant Chinese investment in Gawadar Port.

All Day Fed govt may include Gwadar linkages project in budget -- Daily Times
* Project worth Rs 180.163bn aims at linking Gwadar with Pakistani rail network to
connect it with neighbouring countries
Staff Report
ISLAMABAD: The federal government is expected to include Gwadar linkages

project in next year’s development budget aiming at linking it with Pakistani rail
network to connect Gwadar with neighbouring countries. Feasibility study of the
project has been completed with an estimated cost of Rs 180.163 billion, according
to the available official details.
An official said there was a proposal for connecting Gwadar Sea Port with Pakistan
Railways’ existing network. The feasibility study in this regard has been completed.
As per feasibility study, Gwadar is proposed to be linked with main railway network
at Mastung Station, which is located on Quetta-Taftan section. The length of
proposed railway link would be 901 kilometres (kms). Estimated cost of construction
is Rs 180.163 billion. PC-I has since been submitted to Planning Commission in
November 2012.
From Mastung to Chaman railway network already exists. A feasibility study for
Chaman-Kandhar rail link was carried out by PRACS in 2004 and in Phase-I, a PC-I
for rail link between Chaman and Spinboldak is under revision, which will ultimately
provide rail connection with the Central Asian Republics (CARs).
The government plans to link the Gwadar Sea Port with the rest of the country
through rail and road networks. The government would develop the infrastructure in
Balochistan and link Gwadar to other parts of the country. Gwadar port was being
used to import wheat and fertilizer. It would be transformed into a business and
economic hub that would generate employment opportunities for the local
population.
As a part of its development plan for its transport and communications network,
Pakistan Railways has completed a feasibility study of the Chaman-Kandahar
section for laying railway tracks between Pakistan and Turkmenistan through
Afghanistan. The feasibility study for cost, engineering and design for the
construction of a rail link from Gwadar to the existing rail network in Mastung district
in Balochistan has also been finalized. The new link to Gwadar port will open up
underdeveloped areas of Balochistan for development. The main aim of the venture
is to connect the Central Asian republics with Pakistan Railways’ network through
Afghanistan.
China is going to be the beneficiary of Gwadar’s most accessible international trade

routes to the CARs and Xinjiang. By extending its East-West Railway from the
Chinese border city of Kashi to Peshawar in Pakistan’s northwest, Beijing can
receive cargo to and from Gwadar along the shortest route, from Karachi to
Peshawar. The rail network could also be used to supply oil from the Persian Gulf to
Xinjiang. Pakistan’s internal rail network can also provide China with rail access to
Iran.
China is actively involved in the development of Pakistan Railways and for the past
five years it has been increasing its stake in the country’s communication sector.
Pakistan Railways is a state-owned company that provides an important mode of
transportation in the furthest corners of the country. It has been a great integrating
force and forms the lifeline of the country by catering to its needs for large-scale
movement of people. The freight-passenger earnings comprise 50 percent of the
railway’s total revenue. Pakistan Railways carries 65 million passengers annually
and operates 228 mail, express and passenger trains daily. It introduced new mail
and express trains between major terminals from 2003 to 2005.
Gwadar is a planned free trade port city on the southwestern warm water Arabian
Sea coastline of Pakistan in Balochistan province. It is the district headquarters of
Gwadar district and, in 2011, was designated the winter capital of Balochistan
950
Sat
province. Gwadar has a population of approximately 85,000. Gwadar is located on
the shores of the Arabian Sea in the western province of Balochistan. It is about
533 kms from Karachi and 120 kms from the Iranian border. Gwadar port is located
at the mouth of the Persian Gulf, just outside the Strait of Hormuz, near the key
shipping routes in and out of the Persian Gulf. Gwadar port a newly-built strategic
warm-water, deep-sea port, which was developed by the government of Pakistan
and the Government of China at a cost of $248 million and inaugurated by the
president of Pakistan on March 20, 2007.
In 2013, Gwadar port operations were officially handed over to China. According to
the contract signed a full-fledged commercial port will be constructed with initial
investment of $750 million. The port is said to be strategically important for China as
60 percent of China’s oil comes from the Gulf by ships traveling over 16,000 kms in
two to three months, confronting pirates, bad weather, political rivals and other risks
up to its only commercial port, Shanghai. Gwadar will reduce the distance to a mere
2,500 kms and also serve round the year.
In February 2013 Iran announced to set up a $4 billion oil refinery in Gwadar with
an estimated capacity of about 400,000 barrels per day. According to the original
plan, Tehran will also lay an oil pipeline from its territory to Gwadar to transport
crude oil for processing. China’s coastal refinery plan has also announced to invest
$12 billion in multiple projects in Gwadar and other parts of Pakistan including a
refinery with the processing capacity of 60,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

All Day 1,000MW reactors to raise China’s capability -- The News
People’s Republic of China is rapidly moving towards the goal of building up greater
vessels of up to 1,000MW capacity for atomic reactors as compared with its present
limited-capacity reactors of 300MW each two of which were already operational in
Pakistan at Chashma.
This information was revealed to this scribe during a visit to China some time back
when meetings were held with a number of Chinese functionaries and scientists
from various fields including the seniors of MCC, China’s most prestigious
metallurgical corporation.
Thus far, this higher capacity of building vessels beyond 300MW generation
capability, especially in the range of 1000MW, was available exclusively to the
Western countries including the US, Britain and France.
The Chinese scientists accepted this challenge and subsequently took the initiative
to address this limited-capacity issue and now they have taken many steps forward
on the track of high-capacity reactors matching the capabilities of Western N-
powers which means success of People’s Republic of China in coming at par with
other nuclear powers in the area of generation through high-capacity reactors.
The news of this latest advancement on the part of Chinese scientists has been well
received in almost all the social, business and political circles in Pakistan obviously
because of close, time-tested Sino-Pak ties that have tended to grow to the mutual
benefit of people of both the friendly countries. Already, there was considerable
cooperation going on between Pakistan and China in the area of defence (defence
production in particular), a fact known to the entire world.
And, now there is strong likelihood of yet greater cooperation coming from Chinese
friends in the wake of the recent Pakistan visit of Chinese prime minister when the
point of Pak-China civil nuclear deal was highlighted in all the prominent forums and
above all, in political circles, even at the level of the would-be Prime Minister of
Pakistan, Mian Nawaz Sharif.
Islamabad is confident that China would go beyond its pledges to salvage Pakistan
out of its acute energy crisis and issues like civil nuclear deal of higher-capacity
would definitely be taken up with the Chinese government by the forthcoming
Nawaz Sharif government.
Already, civil nuclear deal is in place in the form of already operational Chashma-I &
II and in the form of upcoming Chashma III & IV.
In this area in particular, Pakistan could not get any cooperation from the US which,
however, chose to give preference to India for whatever reasons.
As for Chinese collaboration and support in many areas including the handling of
Gwadar Port, production of JF-17 Thunder aircraft and other projects, China was
also helping Pakistan in the exploration of mineral resources besides doing trade in
some metals.
One of the provinces of China was importing iron ore from Pakistan.
That information came as a surprise to this scribe for the reason that it would be
normally thought that Pakistan was just an importer of iron ore.
This information was further confirmed from Tariq Saadat, a local businessman
dealing in voluminous metals trade at international level.
All Day Pakistan urges collective strategy -- China Daily

China and Pakistan should work on a comprehensive joint strategy to combat major
regional challenges such as disaster relief and climate change, a senior Pakistani
politician said on Thursday.
953
Tue
Mushahid Hussain, secretary-general of the Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid e
Azam Group), said China and Pakistan, as neighbors and friends, share similar
environmental concerns.
"As our two countries face common problems on climate change, poverty and
natural disasters, the governments will need strategies and deeper cooperation to
respond effectively to crises of these kinds in the future," Hussain said.
"To achieve green development over the world, states have to link to each other on
three levels: bilateral, regional and global," he added.
President Xi Jinping vowed last week to set and strictly observe an ecological "red
line" that requires all regions to optimize, prioritize, restrict or prohibit their industrial
development according to their defined nature. "On issues of ecological and
environmental protection, people should not cross the red line or they will get
punished," Xi was quoted by Xinhua News Agency as saying.
Hussain applauded the concept of an ecological red line, saying the term shows
China's determination to pursue quality development.
Days before Hussain's trip to Xi'an for the International Conference of Asian
Political Parties special conference, he also had the chance to meet Premier Li
Keqiang in Islamabad.
"Premier Li sent a very clear signal to our country during his visit, calling Pakistan
China's good partner and brother," said Hussain. "This is very important in terms of
bilateral relations."
Economic corridor
During his two-day stay in Pakistan, Li agreed on a long-term plan for an economic
corridor to further connect central and western parts of China with Pakistan, and
also signed 11 cooperation documents covering areas including trade, technology
and culture.
China shares a 600-km border with Pakistan. The corridor connects China's vast
Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region and Pakistan's Gwadar port at the Indian Ocean
through the Karakoram Highway.
Hussain said the construction of the economic corridor will join the markets of
South, Central and West Asia, and inject new impetus into regional cooperation. He
also hailed the establishment of the special economic zone launched in 2010 in
Kashgar of Xinjiang, saying it spurs regional economic growth. Bilateral trade
between Pakistan and China soared 17.6 percent to $12.4 billion last year, with a
target of $15 billion in the next two to three years.
In previous interviews, Pakistani Ambassador to China Masood Khalid encouraged

Chinese business communities to be more proactive in exploring opportunities in
Pakistan, in agriculture and the halal food industry, to tap the full trade potential.
Hussain is also chairman of the Pakistan-China Institute, a non-governmental think

tank promoting people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.
He said the relationship between Beijing and Islamabad has transformed into a
deep, resilient strategic partnership based on shared values and interests since the
1950s.
"I am very positive about the prospect of a modern Sino-Pakistani relationship,"

Hussain said.
"It is rare and delightful that two neighbors the size of China and Pakistan can be
free of friction," he added.

All Day 32,000 tons of urea arriving Gwadar port this week -- Business Recorder
The first urea consignment of 32,000 tons, imported by Trading Corporation of
Pakistan (TCP) from international market, is reaching Gwadar port this week. In
January this year, the Economic Co-ordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet
directed TCP to import 130,000 tons of urea from international market in order to
avoid any shortage during Rabi season as domestic urea plant are unable to meet
local demand due to gas curtailment.
Following the directives of the ECC, the state run grain trader successfully opened
first urea import tender on April 24, 2013. TCP awarded contract for import of
80,000 tons of urea to the lowest bidder M/s Helm Dungemittel, GMBH at a price of
$374.73 per ton Cost and Freight (C&F). The tender was for the import of 130,000
tons with minimum bid quantity of 50,000 tons, however lowest bidder offered only
for 80,000 tons.
The Letter Of Credit for the import of 80,000 tons of urea was opened by TCP in the
last week of April, when as per prescribed terms and conditions lowest bidder
deposited five percent performance guarantee. At the same time, in order to comply
with the decision of the ECC, a fresh tender for 50,000 tons has already been
issued by TCP to complete the total targeted quantity of 130,000 tons.
As per schedule provided by the M/s Helm Dungemittel, the first ship namely "MV
Sunshine" carrying about 32,000 tons of urea will reach Pakistan this week. First
consignment is scheduled to berth at Gwadar port on May 15-16 as loading of urea
on the ship has already been completed and it is likely to sail from "Ruwais Port" of
Qatar on Tuesday (today). Sources said the successful bidder has also assured to
supply complete quantity by June and according to shipper, another consignment of
42,000 tons of urea is likely to arrive on May 22-23 and the ship namely "MV Spring
Sunshine" has already been nominated by the supplier. With arrival of these two
consignments, overall import under this tender will reach 72,000 tons against the
award quantity of 80,000 tons. The rest is also expected to reach Pakistan in the
first week of next month.
Besides this import, TCP is already engaged in urea import from Saudi Basic
Industries Corporation (Sabic) under the 100 million dollar credit facility being
provided by Saudi Fund for Development (SFD). Under this agreement some four
urea shipments have already been arrived, while overall some 220,000-240,000
tons of urea arrival is expected against $100 million credit facility. Sources said TCP
is only responsible for the import of urea, while the distribution, transportation and
bagging will be handled by National Fertiliser Marketing Limited (NFML) to ensure
timely supply of urea to farmers during Rabi season.

-- Pakistan Today
ISLAMABAD - Pakistan and China are likely to initiate talks on civil nuclear
technology and finalise agreements on Gawadar and energy sector during the
upcoming visit of Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang who is making his first ever
visit to New Delhi and Islamabad, Pakistan Today has learnt.
The upcoming visit of the Chinese premier is of great strategic importance for the
region as he will visit both India and Pakistan in order to bring both the countries out
of US influence.
On the other hand, the United States has already stroked a deal with India for
transfer of civilian nuclear technology, but has not made any such agreements with
Pakistan.
The visit is also important because both the countries would debate on the post-US
withdrawal Afghanistan situation as American troops would pull out of Afghanistan
by 2014. Terrorism is expected to be the main issue on the agenda.
Pakistan is now attempting to strike a deal for civilian nuclear technology with China
as well for which talks are expected to be initiated in the upcoming visit by Li
Keqiang.
Li Keqiang will make his trip from May 19-27 during which he will first visit India and
then Pakistan. He will land in Islamabad on May 22 at the invitation of President
Asif Ali Zardari.
He will also hold talks with President Zardari followed by a lunch hosted by the
Pakistani president.
Li will hold a meeting with caretaker Prime Minister Mir Hazar Khan Khoso. On the
next day, the Chinese prime minister will hold talks with Nawaz Sharif who recently
won a heavy mandate in general polls of May 11 and is likely to be the prime
minister of the country.
A source requesting anonymity told Pakistan Today that during talks with Pakistani
officials, both countries are likely to ink two major accords including one on
Gawadar port, whereas talks would be initiated on the transfer of civilian nuclear
technology from China to Pakistan.
The source also informed that a number of small agreements and MOUs are likely
to be inked between both the countries in connection with economy and the energy
sector, out of which three accords would be energy agreements.
During the visit of the Chinese premier, the situation in Afghanistan, Indo-Pak
relations, Pak-India-China ties and separatist Islamists movements in China would
also be discussed between the leadership of both the countries.
It is the first ever visit of Li Keqiang to Pakistan after assuming the office. The visit
takes place immediately after the elections in Pakistan. It will provide an opportunity
to Li to meet the new leadership in Pakistan.

Pakistan adopts Chinese GPS satellite
BEIJING: Pakistan is set to become the fifth Asian country to use China’s domestic
satellite navigation system which was launched as a rival to the US global
positioning system, a report said Saturday.
The Beidou, or Compass, system started providing services to civilians in the region
in December and is expected to provide global coverage by 2020. It also has
military applications.
Thailand, China, Laos and Brunei already use the Chinese system, which currently
consists of 16 operational satellites, with 30 more due to join the system, according
to English-language China Daily.
Huang Lei, international business director of BDStar Navigation, which promotes

Beidou, told the newspaper the company would build a network of stations in
Pakistan to enhance the location accuracy of Beidou.
He said building the network would cost tens of millions of dollars.
American website Defensenews.com reported early May that Pakistani military

experts were in favour of using the Chinese system, even though the availability of
the signal could not be guaranteed in case of conflict.
But according to one of them, Pakistan cannot place its trust in the United States.
“Pakistan’s armed forces cannot rely on US GPS because of its questionable

availability during a conflict that has overtones of nuclear escalation,” former
Pakistan Air Force pilot Kaiser Tufail told the site.

All Day Pakistan and China to sign MOUs on development of strategic Gwadar
port -- Global Post
The Foreign Ministry in Islamabad said Sunday that Pakistan and China will sign
several memorandums of understanding during Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's visit
to Pakistan, starting Wednesday.
Foreign Secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani said as many as 12 MOUs will be signed,
including three linked to the development of the strategic Gwadar port on the
Arabian Sea, which China has been managing since February.
According to local newspaper reports, Pakistan wants China to commit to the

construction of an international airport at Gwadar as well as improved infrastructure,
linking Gwadar port with Pakistan's railway and national motorway at the city of
Ratodero in Sindh province.
Another important MOU to be signed during Li's visit relates to the development of a
1,000-megawatt hydropower project in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, which has
been hampered by financial and bureaucratic difficulties.
The Chinese premier is also expected to discuss promotion of the Chinese

language and the opening of Chinese cultural centers across Pakistan.
Li will arrive in Islamabad on Wednesday for a two-day visit to discuss details with
Pakistani President Asif Zardari.

All Day China, Pakistan plan "economic corridor": Li -- News Asia
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang Wednesday linked growth in his country's restive west

corridor" to boost development.

ISLAMABAD: Chinese Premier Li Keqiang Wednesday linked growth in his
country's restive west with that in sluggish Pakistan, saying the two sides wanted to
create an "economic corridor" to boost development.
Li, on his first overseas trip since taking over in a once-in-a-decade power transfer
in Beijing, congratulated Pakistan on its recent general election and hailed the
countries' long-standing friendship.
The Chinese leader held talks with President Asif Ali Zardari and officials signed a
series of memorandums of understanding on economic, science, technology and
energy issues.
Prime minister-elect Nawaz Sharif, set to meet Li on Thursday, will doubtless be

hoping the visit leads to closer trade ties after his Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-
N) party swept to victory in the May 11 general election on a promise to revitalise
the struggling economy.
The PML-N faces a daunting array of problems: a bloody Islamist militancy,

sluggish economic growth, high inflation, a crumbling currency, the threat of a
balance of payments crisis and crippling electricity shortages.
Trade between China and Pakistan hit an annual US$12 billion for the first time last
year, according to Islamabad's foreign ministry, and the two sides plan to raise this
to US$15 billion in the next two to three years.
Li said China's desire to boost domestic demand and develop its western region
would benefit Pakistan as it seeks to restart its foundering economy.
"Both sides are of the view that by connecting China's development and Pakistan's
development, we can create a joint economic corridor linking the central and
western parts of China and Pakistan," he said.
"This vision, once realised, will have great strategic significance for the
development of China, South Asia, Asia and of peace and stability in the region and
the improved lives of people in our region."
China's western region of Xinjiang sees frequent clashes between mainly Muslim
Uighurs and Han Chinese, and Beijing has blamed extremists trained in Pakistan
for some of the violence.
Riots in Xinjiang's capital Urumqi in 2009 killed around 200 people, leading the
ruling Communist Party to tighten surveillance and boost investment in the region.
There are an estimated 10,000 Chinese people and more than 120 Chinese
companies in Pakistan, many working on infrastructure and energy projects. Beijing
built two nuclear power plants in the country and is contracted to construct two
more reactors.
In February Beijing took control of Pakistan's port of Gwadar, which through an

expanded Karakoram Highway could connect China to the Arabian Sea and the
Strait of Hormuz, a gateway for a third of the world's traded oil.
964
Wed
China is also the main source of arms for Pakistan's military, the country's dominant
institution, and Pakistan accounted for more than half of Chinese weapons exports
between 2008 and 2012, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research
Institute.
Li was met by Zardari on the tarmac at Nur Khan air base in Rawalpindi next to
Islamabad when he flew in from Pakistan's arch-rival India, where he promised to
open China's vast domestic market wider to Indian goods.
Pakistan's former ambassador to the United States Tariq Fatemi said the visit was
crucial in drawing the economic roadmap for the incoming government.
"Normally foreign visitors don't go to countries during the interim setups, but China
has recognised that the visit to Pakistan is necessary even at this stage, and that is
why they have organised a separate one-on-one meeting with Nawaz Sharif,"
Fatemi told AFP.
After Pakistan, Li's tour takes him on to Europe for visits to Switzerland, with which
China is negotiating a free trade agreement, and Germany, its largest European
trading partner.

to Pakistan are available as yet. He said Pakistan and the United States enjoy
mutually collaborative relationship. Pakistan would like to have good relations with
the United States based on mutual respect and mutual benefits.
He confirmed that Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United States Sherry Rehman has
resigned. He said there are 15 non-career ambassadors and the new Government
would decide about their fate.
Replying to a question about reference to Pakistan’s nuclear programme in the

white paper issued by Australian Defence Ministry, the spokesman said Pakistan
has a robust nuclear command and control system and robust security
arrangements. He said Pakistan’s civilian nuclear programme is under IAEA
safeguards.

To a question he said Pakistan has received no new communication from India
about dialogue process. Pakistan has already approached India for focused
discussions on the issue of prisoners including 47 who have completed their
sentence.

authorities including military to military contact. He said the issue of border post
has been resolved. Pakistan has been emphasizing the need for effective border
management to interdict undesirable cross-border activity.
All Day Pak-China economic corridor to restore peace in region: Chinese PM --

Tribune
ISLAMABAD: Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang , in a joint news conference with
President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday, said the two countries are working to
develop an economic corridor, Express News reported.
The Chinese PM arrived in Islamabad under extra-tight security on the second leg
of his first official trip since taking office in March and after a visit to Pakistan and
China’s arch rival, India.
Li’s plane was escorted by six air force fighter jets as it entered Pakistani air space.
Security measures also included shutting down mobile phone networks briefly
across the city.
“The two countries have reached a consensus on multiple important issues. We
hope to create a giant economic corridor that would not only enhance China’s
strategic significance but would also help in restoring peace and stability to Asia,”
he said.
Li said there was still “great potential” for the relationship. Bilateral trade last year
rose above $12 billion for the first time and both sides are aiming to reach $15
billion in the next two or three years.
“Our two sides should focus on carrying out priority projects in connectivity, energy
development and power generation and promoting the building of a China-Pakistan
economic corridor,” Li told media.
The Chinese PM said that his visit to Pakistan prior to it forming a new government
shows that the relationship between the two countries is “ever-lasting.” He said the
regular meetings between officials of the two countries have become a norm.
“Through my visit, I aim to strengthen the tradition,” he said.
He thanked President Zardari for awarding him with Nishan-e-Pakistan on his
arrival and said “I don’t just take this as personal honour but also as a sign of
goodwill from people of Pakistan to the people of China.”
“We would like to partner with Pakistan, so that we can create a better future for
mankind, for Asia and for both our countries,” he added.
President Zardari responded by saying, “Today is one of the happiest days of my
life. Gwadar Port and our agreements on Satellite connectivity among others are a
testament to the fact that the dreams of citizens from both the countries are being
realized.”
He thanked the Chinese PM for generously contributing 500 million yuan to
development projects in Pakistan and hoped that the cooperation of the two
countries would lead to a better future for South Asia.
The two countries also signed a series of cooperation documents covering the
economy, culture, and science and technology.
“China and Pakistan shall remain all-weather friends,” President Zardari said.

Pakistan and China Wednesday vowed to further consolidate their time-tested ties
and signed a number of accords and MoUs, including the one for establishing an
economic corridor that would provide air, rail and road connectivity to bolster
bilateral trade between the neighbouring countries.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, on his first overseas trip since taking over in a once-in-
a-decade power transfer in Beijing, congratulated Pakistan on its recent general
election and hailed the countries’ long-standing friendship.
Prime Minister Li was deeply impressed when he saw incoming Prime Minister
Nawaz Sharif also joining the meeting he held with President Asif Ali Zardari and
caretaker Prime Minister Mir Hazar Khan Khoso shortly after arriving at the
Presidency. He said he believed the impressive democratic transition of power
following the May 11 elections will further strengthen Pakistan.
The meeting was followed by a special investiture ceremony in which President
Zardari conferred Nishan-e- Pakistan on the visiting Chinese leader. The investiture
was followed by a luncheon attended by galaxy of country’s civil, political and
military elite before the Chinese Premier retired to his hotel only to resume a
second round of activities in the Presidency in the afternoon.
The immaculately choreographed activities, the participation of leaders of all
political parties, the substantive one on one and delegation level talks and the
signing of a number of agreements and MoUs on trade, economic, science,
technology and energy cooperation in the afternoon highlighted once again that
Pak-China relations transcended political divide.
Later at a joint press stakeout, warmly welcoming Premier Li to ‘his second home’ -
Pakistan, President Zardari said, “Our friendship with China is rooted in national
consensus. This friendship is not only between the governments but also between
the two peoples. It is also time tested.”
Premier Li linked growth in his country’s western part with economic improvement in
Pakistan, saying the two sides wanted to create an “economic corridor” to boost
development. Li said China’s desire to boost domestic demand and develop its
western region would benefit Pakistan as it seeks to restart its foundering economy.
“Both sides are of the view that by connecting China’s development and Pakistan’s
development, we can create a joint economic corridor linking the central and
western parts of China and Pakistan,” he said. “This vision, once realised, will have
great strategic significance for the development of China, South Asia, Asia and of
peace and stability in the region and the improved lives of people in our region.”
Li described the Gwadar Port as a gateway to Central Asia trade.
Trade between China and Pakistan hit an annual $12 billion for the first time last

968
Thu
our foreign policy.
Premier Li Keqiang recalled his visit to Pakistan 27 years back as part of the youth
delegation and said his visit left deep impressions on him. He termed Pakistan-
China friendship a valuable asset and said it was something not affected by change
of a government and politics.
Zardari said the two countries discussed various connectivity proposals including
fibre optics, road and rail links and energy projects. He said both the countries were
determined to achieve the bilateral trade target of $15 billion and have agreed to
speed up work on the projects identified under the Five-Year Development
Programme. “We have also decided to press ahead with the second phase of
negotiations on China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement and start work on the China-
Pakistan Agriculture Demonstration Zone.”
Premier Li Keqiang said both sides have decided on a long term program – a
strategic idea for the peace and stability of the world. He stressed that consolidating
the strategic cooperation needs to be backed by concrete actions and mentioned
the witnessing of agreements on economic and cultural cooperation between the
two countries.
Li said the purpose his visit to Pakistan was to cement friendship between the two
countries, which has been nurtured by successive leaders and the people of the
two countries. He hoped that regular meetings between the leaders would help
deepen and further consolidate their ties.

first official trip since taking office in March. His plane was escorted by six air force
fighter jets as it entered Pakistani air space. Security measures also included
shutting down mobile phone networks across the city. He was met by President
Zardari on the tarmac at Rawalpindi’s Nur Khan Airbase.
At the lunch, where Nawaz Sharif was also present, Premier Li said China and
Pakistan should make cooperation on power generation a priority. Nawaz, who is
set to meet Li again today, will doubtless be hoping the visit leads to closer trade
ties after his PML-N party swept to victory in the elections on a promise to revitalise
the struggling economy and solve the energy crisis in shortest possible time.

All Day ISLAMABAD: Chinese Premier Li Keqiang wrapped up on Thursday his
two-day official visit to Pakistan after promising a deeper and more
comprehensive strategic engagement and a closer coordination for
security and stability in Afghanistan. -- Dawn
ISLAMABAD: Chinese Premier Li Keqiang wrapped up on Thursday his two-day
official visit to Pakistan after promising a deeper and more comprehensive strategic
engagement and a closer coordination for security and stability in Afghanistan.
Cementing the “strategic partnership is the shared objective of both countries”, a

joint statement issued at the conclusion of the visit said. Both sides noted that their
bilateral relationship had acquired strategic importance in the context of the
changing regional and international scenario.
The roadmap agreed by the two sides for taking the strategic ties to next level
included strengthening strategic communication, moving ahead with negotiations on
free trade agreement, convening the next round of meetings of Pak-China Joint
Working Energy Group for cooperation on conventional, renewable and civil nuclear
energy, enhancing connectivity through upgrading Karakoram Highway and other
such transport infrastructure, working on proposed economic corridor, jointly
combating non-traditional threats to maritime security and guarding international
sea-lanes, expanding air routes, counter-terrorism cooperation and working
together at regional and international fora.
It was particularly important for Islamabad that Beijing expressed confidence in its
counter-terrorism strategy.
China “reiterates that it respects the anti-terrorism strategy developed and

implemented by the Pakistani side in light of its own conditions. …China expresses
its appreciation and continued willingness to help Pakistan build up counter-
terrorism capacity”, the joint statement read.
China had in the past reservations over the presence of East Turkistan Islamic
Movement (ETIM — a rebel Chinese group) in Pakistan. During Premier Li’s visit
the Pakistani leadership recommitted to “continuous, active collaboration with and
assistance to China in combating terrorist forces including the ETIM”.
ETIM was declared a common threat for Pakistan and China.
Pakistan’s counter-terrorism strategy has quite often been criticised by the West for
being flawed. The criticism largely stems from the continued presence of militants in
ungoverned spaces in tribal areas.
With Beijing’s endorsement for its counter-terror strategy in hand, some in

Islamabad think that they would be able to better counter the “Western
propaganda”.
Beijing and Islamabad broadly identified eight sectors for enhanced cooperation —
political relations; economy and trade; connectivity; maritime security; aviation and
aerospace; people to people exchanges; defense and security collaboration; and
cooperation on international and regional issues.
“Pak-China friendship has stood the test of time and is more precious than gold,” Li
told Senators at a special session of the upper house of parliament that had been
convened for his speech. Address to the parliament is a special honour given to
some of the visiting foreign leaders.
Prime Minister Li had at the start of his visit said that China would consolidate its
friendship with Pakistan no matter how the international situation developed. He
had also effusively praised Pakistan for significantly contributing to regional and
world pace and stability.
Mr Li hoped that Pak-China cooperation in the fields of economy, maritime security,

aerospace, energy, agriculture, transportation and cultural fields would grow.

Prime Minister Li and his delegation were given a warm send-off. The special Air
China Boeing 747 aircraft carrying Mr Li was escorted by a formation of six JF-17
Thunder aircraft in Pakistani airspace as the Chinese leader embarked on the
European leg of his four-nation tour.
During his stay in Islamabad, Mr Li met President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister
Mir Hazar Khan Khoso, Senate Chairman Nayyar Bokhari, former speaker of the
National Assembly Fehmida Mirza, PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif, Chairman Joint
Chiefs of Staff Committee Gen Khalid Shameem Wynne, services chiefs and
leaders of major political parties. He, along with President Zardari, also witnessed
signing of 11 agreements and was decorated with highest Pakistani civil award of
Nishan-i-Pakistan.
All Day JI chief stresses strong ties with China -- The News
JAMAAT-e-Islami Ameer Syed Munawar Hasan while welcoming Chinese Premier
Li Keqiang’s visit to Pakistan and his address to the Senate has stressed upon
Pakistani’s newly elected government to further strengthen bilateral ties with the
great neighbour to get out of the US slavery.
China is not simply a good neighbour but also a well-wisher and a strategic partner
which always assisted Pakistan in different spheres to bolster strong and lasting
Pak-China friendship, he said on Thursday while commenting on Chinese PM’s
visit.
Syed Munawar Hasan also noted that China’s offer for mediation between Pakistan
and India on the Kashmir issue indicated its honest desire for regional peace. He
said the presence of the US and Nato forces in the region and Washington’s effort
to build India as regional power to curtail China’s influence was a conspiracy to
destroy the regional peace.
Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Syed Munawar Hasan said the US wanted to continue its
control on trade in the world and in the Asian region.
He said the US and India had been opposing Gowadar’s handover to China. He
noted with concern that these powers were also behind the abductions and killings
of Chinese engineers in Balochistan to create differences between China and
Pakistan but their conspiracies failed.
Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Syed Munawar Hasan hoped that Pakistani government

would immediately embark on the projects proposed by the Chinese leader for
pulling this country out of energy crisis.
Meanwhile JI Secretary General Liaquat Baloch has said the Pakistan Muslim
League-Nawaz’s election slogan of recovery of ill-gotten billions from President
Zardari should not die down after Mian Nawaz Sharif’s meeting with him.
Talking to media at a gathering on Thursday, he said corruption had crippled the

country’s economy while loadshedding deepened the unemployment problem.
JI Secretary General Liaquat Baloch said the nation would be greatly disappointed if
newly elected rulers could not overcome energy crisis and control corruption.
Liaquat Baloch said Chinese Premier’s visit would strengthen bilateral relations
between the two countries. He said handing over Gowadar port to China would be
in the national interest. He said if India agreed to resolve Kashmir issue in the light
of UN resolutions, the region would emerge as a strong economic power.

bilateral and strategic relations. Nawaz expressed an eagerness to avail Chinese
expertise in order to develop infrastructure in Pakistan and asked Premier Keqiang
to develop the Gwadar Port as early as possible to kickstart economic activity in the
country. The two leaders also discussed a range of regional and international
issues of common interest.

to make any agreement but he will be materialising proposals [discussed in the
meeting] when he would travel to Beijing,” added the PML-N official..
Congratulating Sharif on his party’s success in the general elections, the Chinese
premier also invited the PML-N chief to visit China.
“China views Nawaz Sharif as a sincere and committed friend, whose contribution
to expanding cooperation between the two countries is highly appreciated,” a
statement quoted Premier Li as saying. Following the meeting, Sharif told reporters
that he would visit China at the earliest after taking the oath of office, and it seems
its not just energy that will be on the agenda.
“A team of experts will go with Sharif in his visit to Beijing who will materialise the
proposals in several sectors other than energy as well,” the party official added.
Meeting with services chiefs Along with meeting the man who will be the next
civilian head of government, the Chinese premier also met Chief of Army Staff
General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, along with the other services chief and the
Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, on Thursday.
They highly commended the China-Pakistan Defence and Security Consultations
Mechanism, and resolved to maintain the momentum of high-level visits between
the armed forces of the two countries and exchanges between military academics,
while also deepening cooperation in counter-terrorism personnel training and
identifying new areas for exchanges and cooperation.
Joint statement
In a joint statement issued at the conclusion of Chinese Premier’s two-day visit,
Islamabad and Beijing agreed to further deepen practical cooperation in all sectors
and strengthen coordination and cooperation on international and regional issues.
The Chinese premier reaffirmed support Pakistan’s efforts to uphold its
independence, sovereignty and territorial integrit. In return, Pakistan reiterated that

implemented by the Pakistani side in light of its own conditions,” the statement read.

All Day BEIJING: Many countries around the world are keen on obtaining JF-17
Thunder fighter jet jointly developed by Pakistan and China, said a
senior officer of the Pakistan Air Force on Sunday. -- Totays News
BEIJING: Many countries around the world are keen on obtaining JF-17 Thunder
fighter jet jointly developed by Pakistan and China, said a senior officer of the
Pakistan Air Force on Sunday.
“We’ve been getting inquiries and expressions of interest for the JF-17 Thunder
from many countries in the Middle East, Africa and from as far as South America,”
Air Marshal Sohail Gul Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex,
told China Daily.
Pakistan has had the privilege of showcasing the fighter plane twice in China’s
International Airshow held bi-annually in Zhuhai.The JF-17 Thunder or the FC-1
Fierce Dragon as it’s known in China is a third-generation multipurpose combat jet
co-developed by Aviation Industry Corp of China and the Pakistan Aeronautical
Complex (PAC).
PAC is in charge of manufacturing and maintaining the Pakistan Air Force’s aircraft
back home.“During my foreign visits, almost everyone I met asked me about the
plane and many countries said they want to join the project,” Khan said.
The JF-17 is an “extremely capable aircraft” and its maneuverability and avionics
are excellent, he added.Air Vice-Marshal Javaid Ahmed, chief director of the JF-17
project, added to the assertion. “The JF-17 is one of our top lightweight fighters,
comparable to any advanced aircraft in the Pakistan Air Force.”
The Complex has already produced more than 40 JF-17s, he said adding that the
collaborative project between China and Pakistan on the aircraft is still underway
with technicians from both the countries focusing on upgrading the weapons and
avionics.
Khan said the Pakistan Air Force may also take part in the development of other
aircrafts in the future.His remarks came shortly after six JF-17 Thunder fighter jets
escorted the Boeing 747 with Premier Li Keqiang on board, who arrived in Pakistan
for a two-day visit on Wednesday.
In a telephonic interview with China Daily, Wing Commander Ronald Afzal, leader
of Pakistan Air Force’s 16th Squadron said “It’s a great honor for us that our JF-17s
were selected to welcome Chinese Premier Li Keqiang.”
“We had handpicked the best pilots in my squadron and trained intensively on
escort formation at high altitudes as well as low altitudes one week before Prime
Minister Li was to arrive,” Afzal said.
“As its developers, we feel quite privileged to see our planes undertake such an
honorable mission and believe that the Pakistan Air Force chose the JF-17 to
welcome our premier partly because it has a lot of Chinese elements,” said Yang
Wei, the chief designer of the aircraft at the Aviation Industry Corp of China.
Yang’s team will join hands with their Pakistani counterparts to develop future
versions of the JF-17, gradually providing the aircraft with partial stealth and aerial
refueling capabilities, he said.

All Day 1,000MW reactors to raise China's capability -- The News
People's Republic of China is rapidly moving towards the goal of building up greater
vessels of up to 1,000MW capacity for atomic reactors as compared with its present
limited-capacity reactors of 300MW each two of which were already operational in
Pakistan at Chashma.
This information was revealed to this scribe during a visit to China some time back
when meetings were held with a number of Chinese functionaries and scientists
from various fields including the seniors of MCC, China’s most prestigious
metallurgical corporation.
Thus far, this higher capacity of building vessels beyond 300MW generation
capability, especially in the range of 1000MW, was available exclusively to the
Western countries including the US, Britain and France.
The Chinese scientists accepted this challenge and subsequently took the initiative
to address this limited-capacity issue and now they have taken many steps forward
on the track of high-capacity reactors matching the capabilities of Western N-
powers which means success of People’s Republic of China in coming at par with
other nuclear powers in the area of generation through high-capacity reactors.
The news of this latest advancement on the part of Chinese scientists has been well
received in almost all the social, business and political circles in Pakistan obviously
because of close, time-tested Sino-Pak ties that have tended to grow to the mutual
benefit of people of both the friendly countries. Already, there was considerable
cooperation going on between Pakistan and China in the area of defence (defence
production in particular), a fact known to the entire world.
And, now there is strong likelihood of yet greater cooperation coming from Chinese
friends in the wake of the recent Pakistan visit of Chinese prime minister when the
point of Pak-China civil nuclear deal was highlighted in all the prominent forums and
above all, in political circles, even at the level of the would-be Prime Minister of
Pakistan, Mian Nawaz Sharif.
Islamabad is confident that China would go beyond its pledges to salvage Pakistan
out of its acute energy crisis and issues like civil nuclear deal of higher-capacity
would definitely be taken up with the Chinese government by the forthcoming
Nawaz Sharif government.
Already, civil nuclear deal is in place in the form of already operational Chashma-I &
II and in the form of upcoming Chashma III & IV.
In this area in particular, Pakistan could not get any cooperation from the US which,
however, chose to give preference to India for whatever reasons.
As for Chinese collaboration and support in many areas including the handling of
Gwadar Port, production of JF-17 Thunder aircraft and other projects, China was
also helping Pakistan in the exploration of mineral resources besides doing trade in
some metals.
One of the provinces of China was importing iron ore from Pakistan.
975
Fri
That information came as a surprise to this scribe for the reason that it would be
normally thought that Pakistan was just an importer of iron ore.
This information was further confirmed from Tariq Saadat, a local businessman
dealing in voluminous metals trade at international level.

he added.
He said that Medipak was manufacturing the product since 1985. Prior to this,
Pakistan was reliant on imported I.V. Infusion Solutions from across the globe.
Pakistan is proudly self reliant and in fact exports this critical product to many parts
of the world.
While elaborating, he said that I.V. Infusion Solutions are a life saving health-care
product and are used to establish the lifeline through which critical medications are
infused into the human body when seriously sick or injured.
Dr Khalid J. Chowdhry former President LCCI and former Chairman of Pakistan
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Association (PPMA) said that the recent visit of
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang to Pakistan has set a new milestone in economic
cooperation between the two nations, and is a catalyst across all sectors.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr Fangxi Liu, Vice President, Hunan China Sun said
that the introduction of the modern and cost effective Injection Stretch Blow
Moulding (ISBM) technology in Pakistan is a testament to the great friendship
between Pakistan & China and will lay the foundation to further cooperation
between the companies of the two countries in the future.
He said that Hunan China Sun, a public listed entity on the Shenzhen China stock
exchange, is the leading Chinese technology company in pharmaceutical
machinery & equipment with a specialization in Injection Stretch Blow Moulding
(ISBM) technology.
Besides being the dominant ISBM technology suppliers within the Chinese market,
Hunan China Sun has also completed globally acclaimed turnkey projects in

Pak-China currency swap – wait and watch
With all eyes on the upcoming budget, very few people realise there is an auction,
under the central bank’s Chinese Yuan (CNY) Loan Facility, due to be held on June
4. The State Bank of Pakistan had entered a bilateral currency swap arrangement
with the People’s Bank of China (PBC) in December 2011, which was implemented
earlier last month.
For the uninitiated, here is how a currency swap arrangements (CSA) will work. The
CSA will be executed for a three-year tenor amounting to Rs140 billion and CNY10
billion, extendable on the mutual consent of the respective central banks.
The SBP can purchase the Chinese currency from PBC against the rupee, and
repurchase the same on predetermined dates and rates. The pricing will be linked
to the interest rate differential between PKR and CNY. The SBP will lend the CNY
to banks which will further lend it to importers who will borrow the CNY to pay off
the Chinese supplier.
Likewise, the exporter will borrow in CNY and utilise rupee for its local operations by
selling CNY. On maturity of the contract, the exporter will pay off the CNY loan
locally, having received CNY from the overseas buyer.
The idea behind CSA is to supplement the available pool of liquidity between the
two countries to finance the bilateral trade. China is Pakistan’s most significant
trading partner, with Pakistan importing the most from China during 10MFY13.
The SBP maintains that the key aim of the currency swap is to promote regional
currencies for trade settlement. China already has currency swap arrangements
(CSA) with more than 20 countries, and with the CSA with Pakistan, it aims at
enhancing CNY’s role in international investment and trade. Financing direct
investment is also penned as a key objective of the CSA, though it’s difficult to say
how will that help considering that China’s share in FDI in Pakistan has not been of
any significance to speak of.
Pakistan can surely benefit from the CSA should the structure fall well in place and
banks and traders combine to take keen interest. The SBP had asked the banks to
conduct awareness programmes for traders regarding the CSA. The upcoming
auction on June 4 will certainly indicate the keenness and awareness or the lack
thereof at the traders’ level.

ISLAMABAD:
Newly-elected Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, in his maiden
speech, revealed that Islamabad and Beijing have expressed a keen desire to
implement the Gwadar-Khunjerab-Kashgar rail network. The project had been
discussed during talks with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang in his recent visit to
Pakistan.
While PM Sharif said the actual details of the project would be shared at a later
date, he also stated that both countries will soon establish a taskforce to complete
the project within the next five years, indicating that it may be implemented on a
fast-track basis.
help China secure oil supply and commercial routes on the Indian Ocean, furthering
its plans to secure yet another strategic energy and trade corridor. Besides, the
project is expected to provide a major boost to Pakistan’s sinking economy.
The project is part of China’s ‘Strings of Pearl’ strategic initiative, under which the
economic giant wants to secure maritime centres in Pakistan, Sri Lanka,
Bangladesh, Maldives and Somalia. The plan highlights China’s growing influence
on the region’s ports and airfields. The previous government has already handed
over administrative control of the port to China.
The project, which will root Gawadar as a nexus point connecting the West with
Central China, was the only scheme mentioned by the new premier in his first
speech, and seems close to his stated vision of building mega-projects. It also
indicates the new government’s desire to receive economic benefits from the
world’s second-largest economy.
Notwithstanding successive governments’ amenability to the Chinese cause, the
implementation of the project, originally conceived over a decade ago, is dependent
upon Pakistan’s ability to overpower regional and international forces working
against it.
The United States and the United Kingdom are trying to keep a check on China’s
increasing interests in the Indian Ocean through Bahrain and Dubai, insiders say.
The western powers are reportedly offering a New Silk Route alternative to lure
Pakistan away from China’s ‘friendly’ grasp.
“Some countries are not happy with the Pakistan-China relationship, and Pakistan
will have to make inroads through diplomacy alone,” observed Akram Zaki, a former
diplomat and an expert on Pakistan-China relations. He said the Gwadar-Kashgar
project will increase China’s stake in Pakistan’s security, besides the economic
dividends of the project.
More importantly, the success of the project depends on China’s resolve to finance

it: the actual cost is yet to be determined, but 2005 estimates showed it over $10
billion.
“The project was conceived many years ago, but it was not pursued actively in the
past,” Tariq Puri, former executive director of the Trade Development Authority of
Pakistan, told The Express Tribune. Puri had been part of a delegation that visited
Urumqi and Kashgar and reviewed the possibility of implementing this project.
The project will route Chinese goods destined for the Middle East and other global
destinations from Urumqi through Gwadar. It will save the Chinese half of their
current voyage time and secure their oil supplies and commercial routes. The
distance from Dubai to Khunjerab is 3,300 miles; the distance from Dubai to
Shanghai via the Indian Ocean is about 9,000 miles.
“China will be gaining virtual control of the Indian Ocean and the energy and trade
corridor from the Gulf,” Puri said. He said China’s plans also provide a trade
opportunity to Pakistan, as the northern neighbour will be the next big consumer
market for Pakistani products in the coming years.
According to an official of the Planning Commission, such a major investment will
create thousands of jobs, besides boosting economic growth and bringing in
prosperity in Balochistan, a historically underdeveloped province. Pakistan will also
receive a transit fee for all goods passing through its territories. However, the
project’s implementation is not without economic and political costs: Pakistan is
solely dependent on China for the construction of the rail network, as its cost runs
higher than that of the Diamer Basha Dam.

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has decided to send his government’s
first delegation to China, signalling an increased emphasis on a regional approach
for tackling national issues.
The delegation will be led by the Minister for Planning and Development, Ahsan
Iqbal, and will comprise the PM’s adviser on foreign affairs and officials from various
economic ministries.
Both sides are expected to hold discussions on areas of mutual cooperation,
especially in the fields of economics and regional security, the two biggest problems
faced by Pakistan, officials said.
While talking to The Express Tribune, Iqbal said the purpose of the visit was to hold
preliminary discussions and come up with a framework for cooperation that serves
the interests of both nations. He said the delegation will visit China on the invitation
of China’s National Development and Reforms Commission (NDRC), and will
exchange proposals for initiating projects.
Officials said both sides will exchange ideas, which will later be converted into
projects when PM Sharif visits China sometime in the near future. However, the
PM’s visit dates have not yet been finalised.
The delegation’s visit is a follow-up to the discussions that took place between PM
Sharif and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang during the latter’s visit to Pakistan last
month, when both sides agreed to establish a regional trade corridor.
China is keen to now sign agreements rather than mere Memorandums of
Understanding (MoU), as Islamabad is perceived as too slow to work on agreed
common goals, officials said.
During the Chinese premier’s visit, both sides had signed a MoU to conduct a
feasibility study and come up with a concrete plan for connecting both countries
through rail and road links.
PM Sharif, in his maiden speech, had said that Islamabad and Beijing keenly desire
to implement the Gwadar-Khunjerab-Kashgar rail and road network, which is aimed
at connecting Gwadar with China and making the former a free port.
During discussions, both leaders had also agreed to constitute a task force to
pursue the common agenda and implement it within the next five years. It is

Pakistan is hoping to benefit from China, which is now the world’s second-largest

create a trade corridor that largely hinges on China’s willingness to give a mix of
grants and concessionary loans to construct the infrastructure, officials added.
The inclusion of PM’s Adviser on Foreign Affairs Tariq Fatemi in the delegation
points to the fact that Pakistan may also approach China for the resolution of
outstanding issues in the wake of the US withdrawal from the region.

government including railway network, energy sector and road networks.
The Prime Minister said that he had held in-depth discussions on the proposed

note that Chinese government was equally interested in the project.
“We want concrete projects and tangible results to benefit the people of Pakistan
and China”, added the Prime Minister.
He further said that the project is in the greater interest of China as it will reduce
distance inside Chinese territory thus resulting in reduction of cost of transportation
and giving access to Chinese trade with India, Central Asia and the whole region.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif highlighted that the future belongs to this region due to
its huge potential, thick population and massive business opportunities.
He directed the Ministry of Railways to submit solid proposals for building new
railway track alignment to facilitate fast moving trains for passenger and cargo
services, before a delegation leaves for China in a couple of days.
He, however, asked for “out of the box” thinking and doable projects to be identified
that could benefit maximum number of population.
The Prime Minister proposed to work on an alignment i.e Havelian-Ratodero-
Gwadar-Karachi-Quetta and Havelian-Islamabad-Lahore Railway track and
expressways that would substantially enhance trade activities and open up this
region to China and the world.
He also directed the Planning and Development Division for identification of
economic zones alongside the proposed railway and expressway.
The Prime Minister underlined the importance of special economic zones and
converting Gwadar into an international city and economic hub to bring about
prosperity for the people of Balochistan and the country.
He said that the missing links in the existing roads and railway tracks must be built
but the need of the day is to establish new linkages to connect China with Pakistan
and give access for Chinese trade to India, Central Asia etc.

June 21, 2013 RECORDER REPORT
"Transport your cargo through rivers and canals; save the money and environment;
also earn money for carbon credits", was the unanimous call of navigation experts,
surveyors, industrialists, government bodies and legal fellows in a seminar that
explored potential, progress and strategies of inland water transport in Pakistan.
The seminar organised by the Institute of Policy Studies. The speakers included
Naeem Sarfraz, former chairman, Maritime Task Force, Imtiaz Tajwar, secretary,
Wapda, Riaz Khan, technical advisor, Agritech Ltd, and Commodore M Azhar,
former DG, Gwadar Port Authority, while Mirza Hamid Hasan, former secretary,
water and power was in chair.
The panellists observed that the extensive river and canal network of Pakistan was
used over centuries for transportation. There was no cargo movement on the
waterways now, despite the fact that huge fuel savings can be achieved in the
country, which was highly dependent on expensive imported fuel. The fuel saved
can be used for critical power generation.-PR

FPCCI presents Gwadar’s future potential

Standing Committee on Gwadar Promotion and Development presented a detailed
presentation on Gwadar’s future potential.
Col (retd) Fazal Maqbool Afridi Chairman of the Standing Committee highlighted the
importance of Gwadar in the days to come.
He informed the participants Gwadar would attract a lot of investment from foreign
countries particularly China in the future and thereby become an economic hub not
only for Pakistan but also for the entire region owing to its geographical and
strategic importance.
He said Gwadar was located close to the Gulf countries, the world’s biggest oil
reserves and shipping routes and also because it reduced the time consumed in
moving cargo from China to the Arabian Sea from five days to one day, if the land
route was completed.
While comparing Gwadar Port with other ports in Pakistan, he said a ship at Port
Qasim had to cross a channel of 40 kilometers (km), while at Gwadar the channel
was only 3 km, because Gwadar is a deep sea port.
Therefore there is no demurrage expense at Gwadar Port. If in Karachi a 20,000-
tonne ship can offload, then at Gwadar a 100,000-tonne ship can easily offload its
cargo.
He said the success of the Port would lead to the creation of 2.5 million jobs in
Gwadar. He urged investors to come forward to invest in education, health,
construction, tourism, real estate, logistics, transportation, fisheries and other
sectors at Gwadar. staff report

Gwadar Port, economic corridor tops PM’s agenda on China trip
BEIJING - Ahead of his first foreign trip after assuming office, Prime Minister (PM)
Nawaz Sharif said clinching the proposed economic corridor linking the strategic
Gwadar Port with China's Xinjiang province would top his agenda in Beijing.
Sharif said the new economic corridor, which will connect the resource-rich western
region with Gwadar port, has the potential to "change the fate" of the region.
"The economic corridor taking off from Kashgar in Xinjiang to Gwadar is a game
changer as far as this region is concerned," the premier said ahead of his visit.
"We expect the corridor will become a very important economic hub," he added.
The proposed corridor will also pass through Azad Kashmir.
Sharif's six-day visit beginning from July 4 coincides with the tour of Indian Defence
Minister AK Antony to China, bringing the India-Pakistan-China diplomatic triangle
into focus.
Chinese analysts said China maintained a "strategic equilibrium" between India and
Pakistan. Sharif's tour will be a follow up visit to Chinese premier Li Keqiang's trip to
Islamabad last month.
Keqiang came to Pakistan after his India visit, during which he proposed the
economic corridor project. China and Pakistan signed 11 agreements in the time he
was in Islamabad.
The corridor which consisted of a series of special economic zones, a rail link and a
pipeline providing China access to the Indian Ocean topped the list of agreements.
Sharif said during his visit he would seek bilateral cooperation in “every field,”
especially energy and infrastructure. “We are investing in each other's countries.
This is the time for both countries to move forward at a faster speed,” he said.
A Pakistani task force held talks with the National Development and Reform
Commission on the scheme early this week, said reports.
The operation of the Gwadar port, located near the Strait of Hormuz, was handed to
the China Overseas Port Holding Company last year after the Singapore firm, which
secured the contract, gave up due to a host of operational problems and questions
over its economic viability.
The Strait of Hormuz has strategic importance since roughly 40 percent of all world-
traded oil pass through this route.

the region.

difficulties and we want to cooperate with each other on a number of fields of
energy, infrastructure and in the field of energy, we have talks with the Chinese
companies and I have invited them to Pakistan to work in this sector and take up
projects based upon coal to produce power, setting up solar based houses to
generate power."

and happy to report that the Chinese companies were keen in these projects.

government had taken up the issue with the Americans and protested strongly

Chinese and other tourists. I feel very sorry for the people who lost lives and my
heart goes out to all bereaved families."
The Prime Minister said in categorical terms that it was an unforgettable incident
and they would make every effort so that such situation should not occur in future.

country had lost lives, including the personnel of armed forces, police,

lot, our growth has suffered a lot, I think, it is to the tune of more than 100 billion
dollars had been lost because of it," he lamented.
Dealing with the issue on priority basis, the Prime Minister declared that it would be

All Day Huawei to Build China-Pakistan Link as Sharif Woos Investors --

Bloomberg
China and Pakistan signed a deal to build a $44 million fiber-optic cable connecting
their border region with the Pakistani military garrison city of Rawalpindi, and
agreed to explore a strategic transport corridor.
The pacts were the highlights of talks between Pakistani and Chinese officials in
Beijing as visiting Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif seeks to secure the investment his
new government needs to repair a shattered economy. In a shot in the arm for
Sharif, Pakistan and the International Monetary Fund yesterday agreed a $5.3
billion loan to boost the country’s depleted currency reserves.
By choosing Beijing for his first overseas trip since winning May 11 elections, Sharif
signaled that securing Chinese funding ranks among his foreign policy priorities.
Pakistan’s growing emphasis on ties with China follows years of strained relations
with the U.S. amid the war in Afghanistan and American targeting of Pakistani
guerrillas.
Meeting Premier Li Keqiang at the Great Hall of the People in the Chinese capital
today, Sharif lauded bilateral ties, telling his host that the two countries’ friendship is
“higher than the Himalayas and deeper than the deepest sea in the world, and
sweeter than honey.”
Huawei Technologies Co., China’s largest maker of networking equipment, will
build the fiber-optic link in three years, project director Waseem Ahmad said, adding
that 85 percent of the funding will be provided via Chinese loans. The agreement
will give Pakistan more connectivity to international communications networks,
Ahmad said. Rawalpindi is home to the headquarters of Pakistan’s army.
Gwadar Pact
An initial pact on a transport corridor to link the western Chinese city of Kashgar
with the Pakistani port of Gwadar, control of which was in February transferred to a
state-run Chinese company, was also signed today. No details were given on what
was described as a “long term” plan.
“China will encourage and support companies to invest in Pakistan and Pakistan
will provide a good environment for China’s investment,” Foreign Ministry
spokeswoman Hua Chunying said at a briefing in Beijing today.
While Sharif has called the road-and-rail project a “game changer” capable of
generating revenue and jobs for Pakistan, financing and security concerns could
prove hurdles. The route would run through Baluchistan province, where anger over
exploitation of gas and minerals has spurred a separatist insurgency.
Touted Role
Aside from its touted role as a short cut for Chinese imports of Middle Eastern oil,
officials in India and the U.S. have seen Gwadar as part of China’s strategic
ambition to project its growing naval power into the Indian Ocean.
Unrest in the western Chinese province of Xinjiang which authorities have in the
past linked to Islamist training camps in Pakistan may also be on the agenda for
1003
Fri
Sharif’s visit which ends on July 8.
Pakistan’s government presented a “very robust reform” agenda to secure the IMF
assistance, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said at a briefing with officials from the
multilateral lender in Islamabad yesterday. The program of credit needs approval
from the IMF board, Pakistan mission head Jeffrey Franks said.
A plunge of about 40 percent in the reserves in the past year to $6 billion has left
Pakistan with enough to cover only about two months of imports, central bank data
shows. The slide has weighed on the rupee and adds to other challenges facing
Sharif, which include energy shortages and a Taliban insurgency in the northwest.
The currency touched a record low this week.

All Day Linking Khunjrab with Gwadar, other projects: Pakistan, China to sign
umbrella deal -- BUSINESS RECORDER
In a major economic breakthrough in the region Pakistan and China are all set to
sign an umbrella agreement Friday to start mega projects between the two
neighbours which will lay the foundation of a long term economic bond. "Pakistan
and China have agreed to sign the multibillion dollars economic corridor project
linking Khunjrab with Gwadar," sources told Business Recorder Thursday.
China's banking giant, China Development Bank, will fund the project along with
China EXIM Bank and China Investment Bank. Termed a "Game Changer"
repeatedly by Nawaz Sharif, the construction work on the ambitious project will start
within a year. In addition to rail-link, the project will also include the building of road,
optic fiber and oil and gas links.
On Friday both the sides will announce the project, and the formation of two
separate Ministerial and Working groups to monitor the pace of the project.
Ministerial group and working will immediately initiate surveys and preparations of
feasibility reports for the project.
The "Memorandum of Understanding for the Framework of Pak-China Economic

Corridor" will also include the building of Lahore-Karachi Motorway and the
construction of economic zones along the 2700 km Khunjrab-Gwadar economic
corridor. The first phase of 750km Khunjrab-Havelian rail-link is estimated to cost
$18 billion. The railway line, the highest in the world, will have total 200 km long
tunnels and about 70 bridges to snake through the world's highest mountainous
regions.
Answering a question, the sources said all details about funding have been worked
out and Chinese banks will fund the projects. "Bigger success is that both the sides
have forged a commitment at the highest political level to translate the time-tested
political and security ties into long-term economic co-operation." In an
unprecedented gesture, Chinese President Xi Jinping, came to the State Guest
House to meet Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The meeting between the two leaders
confirmed Friday's signing of the agreements.
The mega projects were finalised by the Planning Divisions of both the countries.
Ahsan Iqbal, the Minister for Planning Division, has been working for the last few
weeks to finalise the details of the projects which have the potential to usher in a
new era of development and economic activity in the entire length and breadth of
the country.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had expressed his desire to start this project when he
met visiting Chinese Prime Minister Li before his oath taking in mid-May. The
Chinese also focused their energies on building up Khunjrab-Gwadar rail and road
links after a similar project with Myanmar ran into trouble following the US pressure.
China has spent about 10 billion dollars during the last 10 years in building a rail
and road link to the Indian Ocean through Myanmar. But for the last two years,
Myanmar has gotten close to the US which created hurdles in the execution of the
1004
Fri
project. "Pakistan might face similar pressure from the US but Beijing and
Islamabad are committed to complete it," sources said, adding, "and hence hurry on
the part of Pakistan to complete the project in the next few years."
All Day Pak-China agreements will lead to huge investment in Pakistan -- BR &
APP
ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on foreign affairs Tariq Fatemi
has said the visit of the Prime Minister will be greatly beneficial for Pakistan in
improving its economy and generating more economic activities.
Talking to PTV from Beijing, he said Pakistan will get advantage of Chinese
investment in various sectors including infrastructure development, energy,
transportation and other public welfare projects.
He said under the agreements signed in Beijing on Friday, Pakistan will attract
billions of dollars investment from China which will give boost to its ailing economy.
Tariq Fatemi described Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's talks with Chinese leadership
and business leaders as extremely constructive and positive.
He hoped that it will lead to open new avenues for economic development and
prosperity besides creating job opportunities for youth.
All Day Pak-China pipeline project: Nawaz to offer China the shortest oil route --
The Express Tribune
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) led government has decided to offer
China to lay oil pipeline from Gwader to Western China – a move that will allow the
latter to diversify and safeguard its crude oil import routes, sources told The
Express Tribune.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would make a formal offer to his Chinese counterpart
during his current visit to China. The government is expected to sign within a month
an operational agreement with the brotherly nation to hand over Gwader Port to a
Chinese company.
Officials said Pak-China oil pipeline could later be linked with Iran that had already
offered to lay oil pipeline from its territory to Gwader to transport crude oil. During
the PPP era, Iran had also announced to set up oil refinery at Gwader Port with
400,000 barrels per day oil production capacity.
“So, this proposal may become feasible after Chinese company takes operational
control of Gwader Port,” official said adding that Gwader Port is quite near to
Persian Gulf through which nearly 40% of world’s oil supply flow is maintained.
Officials maintained that 50% of total oil demand of China is met from imports that
come from Middle East. At present supply line to China runs over 10,000 kilometre
Dubai-Shanghai-Urumqi ocean route.
“The crude oil processed and refined at Gwader Oil Refinery can be exported and
transported to Urumqi through the shortest possible route to China via Dubai-
Gwader-Urumqi which is about 3600 kilometres. For this a oil pipeline will be laid
through the envisaged Energy Corridor up to Western China via KKH/Khunjrab
bypass,” officials said.
They said that impediments like high altitude, freezing temperature and difficult
terrain could be overcome through certain technological advancements since many
countries had successfully completed such pipeline projects under extreme
conditions and high altitude such as ATACAMA gas pipeline, Trans-Alkaska
Pipeline, Trans-Asia Gas pipeline etc.
All Day Pak-China relationship ‘sweeter than honey’, Nawaz tells Chinese
counterpart -- Pakistan Today
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday told his Chinese counterpart Li Keqiang that
their countries' relationship was “sweeter than honey”. He expressed these views
during a meeting with his Chinese counterpart in which economic ties were at the
top of the agenda. Pakistan and China have close diplomatic and military allies and
Nawaz, who is on his first foreign trip since becoming prime minister, is looking to
secure infrastructure projects to tackle a chronic energy crisis and economic
malaise in his country. At the Great Hall of the People in the Chinese capital,
Nawaz said his welcome “reminds me of the saying, our friendship is higher than
1005
Fri
the Himalayas and deeper than the deepest sea in the world, and sweeter than
honey”. Li told him: “I greatly appreciate your great warmth and deep affection for
the people of China.” The Chinese premier was the first foreign leader to visit
Pakistan after Nawaz Sharif's victory in the May polls. Beijing has been involved
with the upgrade of the Karakoram Highway as part of a proposed economic
corridor between the two countries. Earlier this year, China took control of
Pakistan's Gwadar port, giving it access to the Arabian Sea and Strait of Hormuz, a
gateway for a third of the world's traded oil. China-Pakistan trade last year reached
$12 billion and is targeted to rise to $15 billion in the next two to three years. On
Thursday, Nawaz held talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, amid concerns in his
country over weak growth, inflation and power cuts of up to 20 hours a day. Xi, who
referred to Sharif as an old friend and a good brother, said strengthening strategic
cooperation with Islamabad was a priority for China's diplomacy, the state-run
broadcaster China Central Television reported. Nawaz said his country welcomed
Chinese investment and would work to create a friendly environment for it. Earlier
on Friday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif received a red carpet welcome from the
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on his arrival at the impressive building of Great Hall of
the People. While both leaders were inspecting the guard of honour, there were 19
gun salutes in the background to herald the arrival of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
as a symbol of high regards and warmth on the part of the host country and its
leaders. As both leaders reached the welcome dais, a contingent of People’s
Liberation Army played national anthems of both the countries. Following the
welcome ceremony, both the dignitaries held bilateral talks. Briefing the media,
Premier Li said he clearly remembered his visit to Pakistan in May when then prime
minister-in-waiting Nawaz Sharif participated in his meetings with the interim
leaders of Pakistan. Premier Li greatly appreciated Nawaz Sharif’s warmth and
deep affection for the people of China. Nawaz thanked Premier Li for his remarks
and the hospitality extended to him and his entourage. He recalled his meeting with
Chinese President Xi Jinping held on Thursday and said, “He was very kind to invite
us. We exchanged similar views last night as well.” Nawaz also thanked Premier Li
for inviting him to visit China and added that he felt proud to visit China as his
maiden foreign destination after assuming office. - See more at:

All Day Pak-China set sights on transport link from China to Arabian Sea -- Forst
Post Word
Beijing: China and Pakistan set their sights Friday on developing a transport link
from northwestern China through rugged Pakistani mountains to the Arabian Sea, a
route they hope will boost economic growth and slash shipping times.
A broad agreement for the “economic corridor” was among eight pacts signed
following a meeting in Beijing between Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Pakistani
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The transport link was described as a “long-term plan”
to connect the Chinese city of Kashgar to the port of Gwadar, more than 2,000
kilometers (1,240 miles) away across the towering Karakoram mountains and
Pakistan’s lawless Baluchistan province.
Another agreement will see a fiber optic cable laid from the Chinese border to the
Pakistani city of Rawalpindi that will boost Pakistan’s access to international
communications networks. China is to provide 85 percent of the financing for the
three-year project’s $44 million budget, with Pakistan covering the rest.
The visit is Sharif’s first to his country’s close ally since he returned to power last
month, highlighting the importance Pakistan places on its 63-year-old relationship
with China. The two cooperate closely in diplomatic and defense affairs, and share
a common rival in their mutual neighbor and occasional military opponent India.

“Let me tell you very candidly and very sincerely that what I am witnessing here on
my visit to Beijing, it reminds me of the saying our friendship is higher than the
1006
Fri
Himalayas and deeper than the deepest sea in the world, and sweeter than honey,”
Sharif told Li at the start of their meeting, employing the usually effusive language
with which the two nations describe their relationship.
China provides Pakistan with aid and foreign investment, while Islamabad offers
Beijing important diplomatic backing in the face of Muslim-majority nations who
might otherwise criticize China’s handling of its Muslim population.
Pakistan is hoping to attract greater Chinese investment to revive its moribund

economy beset by inefficiency, corruption, political instability, and chronic electricity
shortages, while expanding two-way trade that exceeded $12 billion for the first time
last year.
For its part, China wants Pakistan to crack down on insurgents from China’s Muslim
Uighur minority who have taken refuge in Pakistan’s northwest alongside al-Qaida-
linked extremists. Pakistan says it has killed or extradited several of those militants
over the past few years, but acknowledges that some remain at large in the area.
Hopes for road, rail and pipeline links from Kashgar to the presently little used port
at Gwadar received a major boost when control of the port was transferred to
China’s state-owned China Overseas Ports Holding Company Ltd. in February. Built
by Chinese workers and opened in 2007, it is undergoing a major expansion to turn
it into a full-fledged, deep water commercial port.
Located just outside the mouth of the Persian Gulf, Gwadar has the potential of
vastly cutting the 12,000-kilometre (7,500-mile) route that Mideast oil supplies must
now take to reach Chinese ports. It could also provide an outlet for copper and
other resources that Chinese firms plan to mine in Afghanistan, while offering a
base for China’s navy to operate in the Indian Ocean in competition with India.
China has already begun upgrading the Karakoram Highway that runs through the
northwestern Xinjiang region to the Pakistan border and has dispatched workers to
develop projects high in the mountains of the Pakistan-controlled part of Kashmir.
The geographical and security challenges to the link remain daunting, however, and
any working link is likely many years away. It would go through territory menaced by
the Pakistani Taliban, while nationalists in Baluchistan view it as an attempt by the
ethnic Punjabis who largely run Pakistan to strengthen their control over the desert
region and plunder its natural resources.

All Day PM orders completion of Lahore-Karachi Motorway by 2015 -- APP
BEIJING, Jul 5 (APP): Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif Friday ordered the
completion of Lahore-Karachi Motorway within two and half years after finalizing the
feasibility study of the project in three months. Talking to Pakistan Television here
after an MoU signing ceremony between Pakistan and China for cooperation to
construct Lahore-Karachi Motorway, the Prime Minister said the government was
committed to provide comfortable and affordable transport facilities to its citizens
within minimum possible time. Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal
and Chairman China State Construction Engineering Corporation Yi Jun signed the
MoU from both sides, respectively.
While stressing for expeditious project completion, Nawaz, however, was
categorical to state that the government will not compromise on quality of the work.
He said the signing of MoU was a remarkable step and it was laudable that the
government has been making landmark achievements in its initial days.
He said work on the mega project would be launched shortly after completion of the
project’s feasibility study which he hoped would benefit the people of all four
provinces as well as Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
“It is a historic day. Once this project completes, the travel time would reduce
remarkably that would also ultimately promote business activities in the region,”
Nawaz Sharif said.
He also lauded the MoU signing for infrastructure development in Gwadar and said
the planned Lahore-Karachi Motorway would also touch another highway linking
Kashgar to Karachi via Gwadar.
Earlier, in a meeting with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Chairman CSCEC Yi Jun
said his company was interested in executing various development projects in
Pakistan including the construction of highways and launching of bullet trains.
He also offered his company’s services for the construction of already planned
bullet train project between Peshawar and Karachi.
The Prime Minister lauded the offer and invited CSCEC chairman to visit Pakistan
in August this year for negotiations in this regard.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said resolution of energy crisis, infrastructure
development and comfortable and affordable transport facilities were among his
government’s foremost priorities.

All Day Nawaz, Li hold fruitful meeting: 2,000km road to link Gwadar with
Kashgar -- DAWN
BEIJING, July 5: China and Pakistan set their sights on Friday on developing a
transport link through rugged mountains and troubled lands, a route they hope will
boost economic growth and bring critical oil supplies to power-hungry China much
faster.
A broad agreement for the Pak-China economic corridor was among eight pacts
signed following a meeting in Beijing between Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
The 2,000km transport link was described as a “long-term plan” to connect Kashgar
in northwestern China to the port of Gwadar, likely by road in the beginning and
possibly by rail later.
Pakistan is hoping to attract greater Chinese investment to revive its moribund

economy beset by inefficiency, corruption, political instability and chronic electricity
shortages, while expanding two-way trade that exceeded $12 billion for the first time
last year.
For its part, China wants Pakistan to crack down on insurgents from China’s
Xinjiang region who are said to have taken refuge in Pakistan’s northwest alongside
Al Qaeda-linked extremists. Pakistan says it has killed or extradited several of those
militants over the past few years, but acknowledges that some remain at large in
the area.
Another agreement is for a fibre-optic cable to be laid from the Chinese border to
Rawalpindi which will boost Pakistan’s access to international communications
networks.
China is to provide 85 per cent of the financing for the three-year project’s $44
million budget, with Pakistan covering the rest.
Mr Sharif’s visit to China is his first foreign trip since returning to power last month,
highlighting the importance Pakistan places on its 63-year-old relationship with its
most important ally in the region.
The two cooperate closely in diplomatic and defence affairs.
“Let me tell you very candidly and very sincerely that what I am witnessing here on
my visit to Beijing, it reminds me of the saying our friendship is higher than the
Himalayas and deeper than the deepest sea in the world, and sweeter than honey,”
Mr Sharif told Mr Keqiang at the start of their meeting, employing the usual effusive
language with which the two nations describe their relationship.
A joint statement issued after the meeting affirmed their support for an Afghan-led
peace effort in the country following the withdrawal of US troops next year. It said
they would “work with the regional countries and the international community to help
Afghanistan achieve peace, stability and security”.
Hopes for road, rail and pipeline links from Kashgar to the presently little-used port
at Gwadar received a major boost when control of the port was transferred to state-
owned China Overseas Ports Holding Company Ltd in February. The statement
said a joint committee would be set up which would oversee the upgrading and
realigning of the 1,300km Karakoram highway running from Kashgar to Abbottabad
over mountain passes as high as 4,693 metres.
If the transport link takes off, oil from the Middle East could be offloaded at Gwadar,
which is located just outside the mouth of the Gulf, and transported to China
through Balochistan and the rugged Karakoram mountains. Such a link will vastly
cut the 12,000km route which Mideast oil supplies must now take to reach Chinese
ports.

Sat
According to the joint statement, Pakistan and China resolved to promote the
policies aimed at advancing the cause of peace, cooperation and harmony in the
region.
During their meeting, Mr Sharif and the Chinese premier reaffirmed their
commitment to pursue people-centric policies to mitigate poverty, promote social
and
economic development and diminish the roots of conflict.
Mr Sharif reaffirmed the commitment of his government to further promote and

deepen the bilateral strategic cooperation.
The Chinese premier thanked Mr Sharif for choosing China as his first destination
for foreign visit after coming to power.
Mr Sharif said the recent political transition in Pakistan was a historic development
which would create political cohesion, social stability and economic growth. “It will
also improve governance and lead to sound macro-economic management, thus
creating an enabling environment for foreign investment in Pakistan,” he added.
The two sides reviewed with satisfaction the development of China-Pakistan

relations and were of the opinion that the relationship had acquired growing
strategic significance in the emerging dynamics of 21st century. They resolved to
continue to deepen the strategic partnership in the new era.
The two leaders appreciated that Asia was the engine of global economic growth
and more than 40 per cent of the global population resided in this vibrant and
dynamic region. A major urbanisation and technological advancement is under way
in the region which will unleash enormous potential for regional economic
development.
The two countries decided to further deepen practical cooperation in all sectors and
strengthen coordination and cooperation on international and regional issues. This
has been agreed under the guiding principles of the Treaty of Friendship,
Cooperation and Good-Neighbourly Relations between China and Pakistan signed
in April 2005 and on the basis of the existing close cooperation.—Agencies

cooperation in shipping was discussed for promoting trade between the two
countries.

changes in some of the terms and conditions before finalising the agreement with
China.
Responding to a question, he said, the sections related to marketing in the Gwadar

port concession would be changed and Pakistan would like to retain them in the
larger interest of the country.
The minister said that he paid a visit to Gwadar port and was not satisfied with the
progress and feels that the work should be speeded up because the project is very
important and has the potential to make economic progress in the country at large
and Balochistan, in particular.
During his visit, the minister said the Dutch ambassador also accompanied him who
extended assistance in expansion and upgradation of the fishing harbour which is
presently being used as a playground by locals. The ambassador also offered to
assist in providing PET raisin baskets for handling fish catch.
There was a time Pakistan’s ship-breaking industry at Gadani was the largest of the
world, but now Bangladesh and India are leaders in this industry. Therefore, the
minister said, efforts would be made to revive this industry for which a core
committee had been formed.
Senator Kamran Micheal said Marine Academy would be upgraded and converted
into university to cater our needs and of other countries.
He said all avenues will be explored and Ministry of Ports and Shipping and its
affiliated departments would be opened up and upgraded to meet the fast changing
technological as well as rapidly growing economic trade activities of the country.
He further said all corrupt elements would be removed from the ministry and its
affiliated departments and an important announcement would be made in
Ramadan.
To a question, the minister said presently three berths were operational at Gwadar
port and soon five more would become operational and Chinese concession
holders would be asked to speed up work and Pakistan has assured them of full
security and proper working environment.
Referring to deteriorating law and order situation in the city which is also affecting

All Day Pak-China take quantum jump -- Daily Pakistan Observer

Sunday, July 07, 2013 - THE visit of Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif to China has
been a resounding success as the two countries agreed on a number of projects
and plans aimed at forging economic ties and giving depth to their strategic
partnership. Nawaz Sharif had a point in taking pride in the fact that the two sides
arrived at concrete understanding on multi-dimensional cooperation in the early
days of his Government.
All the agreements concluded during the visit are important the idea of
establishment of economic corridor between Kashghar and Gwadar is indeed
fabulous one and is reflective of the far-sightedness and vision of the leadership of
the two countries. This coupled with plans to build Lahore-Karachi Expressway, run
a fast train between Peshawar and Karachi, lay optic fibre from Chinese border
areas to Rawalpindi and construction of expressway/rail link between Gwadar and
Kashghar has the potential to revolutionize life in Pakistan besides giving
tremendous boost to trade and industry of China. Once Chinese turn Gwadar Port
fully functional and an international airport, rail and road network is completed to
link the port city with the rest of the country, the dream of the Prime Minister to turn
Gwadar into Hong Kong of Pakistan would become a reality. Balochistan is a
backward province and these projects of far-reaching importance would surely bring
about a positive change there and we are glad that the local leadership is on board
as Chief Minister Dr Abdul Malik was part of the Pakistani delegation that
negotiated various deals and agreements. We have been hearing about eight visits
of President Zardari to China and signing of scores of agreements during high level
bilateral visits in the past but all this has mostly remained a paper dream. This time
round one can genuinely expect some difference as Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
has already formed a task force under the dynamic leadership of Minister for
Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal that would constantly monitor
implementation of agreements and MoUs. It is also satisfying that the Prime
Minister has expressed his resolve to complete feasibility of Lahore-Karachi
expressway just in three months and completion of the actual work in two and a half
years, sending a clear message that he means business.

The proposed economic corridor linking the strategic Gwadar Port with the western
Chinese region of Xinjiang is expected to top Sharif's agenda in Beijing.
The corridor was proposed by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang during his most recent
1015
Sun
trip to Pakistan last month.
Wang Xu is assistant to the director at the centre for South Asian studies at Peking
University.
He says the project, once completed, is going to benefit people on both sides.
"First, the project can strengthen Sino-Pakistan trade ties and help Pakistan to
overcome some economic problems it's facing right now, including energy and
power shortages. Second, it will help China integrate economically with South Asian
and Middle East countries. Because the corridor takes off from Kashgar in Xinjiang
and it ends in Southern Pakistan, the Port of Gwadar and Karachi. So this is going
to drive the development of western China."
The corridor consists of a series of special economic zones, on top of a rail link and
a pipeline providing China access to the Indian Ocean.
During his 6-day trip here in China, Sharif is also going to discuss clean energy
cooperation with Chinese officials.
Wang Dehua is from the South Asia and Central Asian Studies centre at the
Shanghai Institute for International Studies.
"China and Pakistan have already reached agreements on hydro power stations,
thanks to China's experience on our Three Gorges Dam project. The two countries
can also deepen cooperation on solar, wind, and bio power and other renewable
energy fields. Besides, China is developing technologies that process coal to crude
oil, and Pakistan has fair amount of coal reserves, so we've got huge potential in
this area as well."
All Day Pakistan woos China into large project -- Malaysiasun

Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is in China to try to revive his country's
economy.
Sharif has chosen Beijing for his first official trip following victory in the 11 May
elections to search for assistance in building a road and rail corridor between
Kashgar in the western Chinese province of Xinjiang and the port of Gwadar in
Pakistan.
He has been meeting with members of the Politburo to push the project which has
been touted as a short route for Chinese crude imports from the Middle East and for
exports.
Many Asian business analysts have suggested the port of Gwadar will be allow
China to follow through on its plan to increase its naval power and influence in the
Indian Ocean.
International energy exchanges between the countries would likely start in the heart
of Xinjiang province and cross into Baluchistan in Pakistan.
Baluchistan is a desert province bordering Iran and Afghanistan.

All Day Road and rail link is a significant step -- THE INTERNATIONAL
On Friday, the governments of China and Pakistan agreed a deal to build a road
and rail transport link to connect the two nations. The project promises to open a
wide "economic corridor". While no firm timetable for development has been
announced, this "long-term" plan will eventually connect Kashgar in western China
with Gwadar in Pakistan in the west. The potential gains from such links are huge.

■ Pakistan and China set sights on Arabian Sea link
The project will undoubtedly foster greater commercial ties between the two
nations, but it will also have serial implications for other parts of the world.
It could, as The National reported yesterday, allow for oil shipped from the Middle
1016
Sun
East to be unloaded in Gwadar, close to the mouth of the Arabian Gulf, before
being moved overland to China. And while this would still represent an epic
logistical endeavour, it would also substantially reduce, by several thousand
kilometres, the distance oil would have to cover to get to any destination point in
China, and at a time when it is encouraging the development of its western region.
In general, it is likely to deliver an upturn in trade between the GCC group of nations
and Asia.
For Pakistan itself, the road and rail link will create jobs, help reinvigorate almost
every sector of its embattled economy and afford it more breathing space away
from its neighbours.
But this link is likely to have many other consequences, too. For those observers
who nervously watch any time China furthers its international reach and influence -
be that in Africa, Asia, the Americas or even on the high seas - this latest
development could be perceived as troubling. China supplies more arms to
Pakistan than any other nation and a reciprocal deal might see the port at Gwadar
reused as a strategic platform for China's naval operations in the region. The port
has been redeveloped in recent years with substantial investment from China.
When the Suez Canal opened in 1869, it changed the way the world worked. Nearly
150 years later, eight per cent of global shipping traffic passes through its waters.
Similarly, the Panama Canal allows ships to move from the Pacific to the Caribbean
Sea in less than 12 hours.
Like both of these examples, the Kashgar to Gwadar road and rail link could
eventually prove game-changing regionally and economically.
All Day Sharif in Beijing to bring Arab oil to China -- AsiaNews/Agencies

From now until 8 July, Pakistani Prime Minister will be in Beijing to discuss energy
and investments. The construction of a road-and-rail corridor between Kashgar
(Xinjiang) and Gwadar (Baluchistan) on the Arabian Sea is crucial. This way,
Pakistan could solve its energy crisis, but in return, it will likely have to "stop" the
emergence of Islamic fundamentalism.
Islamabad (AsiaNews/Agencies) - Energy, transport and investment are on the

agenda Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is taking with him as he begins today
a six-day visit to China (3-8 July). His ultimate aim is to revive his country's
economy, which has been paralysed by an energy crisis and violent Islamic
fundamentalism. The construction of a road and rail corridor between Kashgar (in
the western Chinese province of Xinjiang) and the port of Gwadar (Baluchistan
province) on the Arabian Sea is part of the broader picture.
The fact that Sharif chose Beijing for his first official trip abroad after his victory in
the 11 May elections is significant. During his stay in China, he is expected to meet
at least three members of the Politburo, namely President Xi Jinping, Premier Li
Keqiang and Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang.
The Kashgar-Gwadar project is of great interest to both countries. "Sharif knows

that Gwadar has significant geopolitical and economic importance for China," said
Rashid Ahmed Khan, a professor of international relations at the University of
Sargodha in Punjab. "It can provide a short route for Chinese crude imports from
the Middle East and for its exports to the region."
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying agrees. The project "will help both
countries as well as the development of the whole region," she said.
In addition to trade, many analysts see the port of Gwadar as part of China's plan to
increase its naval power and influence in the Indian Ocean, considered the future
centre of international energy exchanges.
The Kashgar-Gwadar line starts in the heart of Xinjiang province and cross into
Baluchistan, a desert province bordering Iran and Afghanistan, and among the
poorest in Pakistan.

Both areas have often been the scene of sectarian clashes. In recent days, fresh
unrest broke out in Xinjiang between indigenous ethnic Uyghur (who are Turkic and
Muslim) and Han Chinese, the majority in China. Beijing blamed the attacks on
Islamic extremists trained in Pakistan, in camps run by the East Turkestan Islamic
Movement.
Baluchistan has been in the hands of paramilitary forces for decades. The
exploitation of gas and mineral resources by the government has unleashed attacks
by extremist and separatist movements, as well as Taliban groups.
If approved, the project might force Pakistan to find a final settlement to the
fundamentalist emergency that has ravaged the country, a problem many blame on
the central government in Islamabad.
This view is share by Afghan Army Chief General Sher Mohammad Karimi who said
that Pakistan controlled and gave shelter to Taliban leaders, deliberately unleashing
fighters on Afghanistan.

Nawaz Sharif’s China visit to open new avenues of bilateral cooperation
ISLAMABAD, Jul 11 (APP): Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal
Thursday said the recent visit of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to China will open
new chapter of strong friendship between the two countries and help in promoting
trade and economic relations.Addressing a press conference here at Foreign Office
along with Special Assistant to Prime Minister Tariq Fatemi, Ahsan Iqbal said the
visit will be helpful in transforming traditional foreign policy into economic diplomacy
to give new boost to trade and economic relations with neighbours and friendly
countries.He said, “Unfortunately our political and economic relations with friendly
countries including China and Middle East countries do not reflect our level of
relationships with these countries in terms of trade as we could not expand our
trade with these countries in the past.”
Ahsan Iqbal referring to the visit of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to China said it was
focussed on economic development of Pakistan which has provided new base for
expanded strong economic relations. He said the PM’s visit has laid a foundation of
new strategic economic cooperation between both the countries which will not only
benefit the two countries, but vision behind this is to integrate all economic engines
of the region.
The Minister hoped this visit will prove as a new milestone not only in terms of Pak-
China but also increasing economic growth of Pakistan.
He said a number of important agreements were signed during the visit which will
pave way for rapid economic development of the country.
The most important agreement is to establish “Economic Corridor” by building rail
and road links through Pakistan.
He said an institutional framework has been constituted to review the economic and
trade corridor between China and Pakistan. He said a committee and a task force
have been set up in this regard which will hold meetings after six months to review
the progress on the projects signed during this visit and to complete all the studies
and framework within one year.

All Day Gwadar: the future trade hub of the world? -- APP
ISLAMABAD - The government is considering giving Gwadar a status similar to
Hong Kong in terms of special business incentives. This vision aims to turn tides on
the region's economic horizon.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif during his recent visit to China, expressed his intention
to develop Gwadar port on the model of Hong Kong. Hong Kong is China's special
administrative region that enjoys specific trade regulations. Gwadar, having a
natural hammerhead-shaped geography protruding from the country's coastline into
Arabian Sea, is no longer just a fishing harbour. It is now deemed as an important
deep seaport with vast potential of becoming the hub of business activities for the
entire region.
Pakistan needs to promote free trade and low taxation in Gwadar on similar lines to
Hong Kong, which is regarded as one of the world's leading international financial
centres in addition to being an extremely tax friendly economy.
Necessary legislation would allow Gwadar to set its own financial targets such as
economic freedom and competitiveness similar to Hong Kong.
Gwadar is expected to be declared a special economic zone for a certain period to
facilitate rapid commercial and economic development.
The specific incentive-regime is likely to be free of Value Added Tax (VAT), capital
gains tax and withholding tax, with general tax-holidays and generous incentives for
business ownership and employment of foreigners. The establishment of the
special economic zone, free trade zone, and export processing zone in the port city
would attract foreign investment which would in turn create innumerable job
opportunities for locals and consequently raise their standards of living.
The main purpose of this project is to accelerate economic development and
investment, both foreign and local. This will in turn increase the port traffic and
resultantly spur industrial development.
For the port's construction and operations Gwadar was officially handed over to the
state-owned China Overseas Port Holding Company Limited in February.
According to the contract signed between the two countries, a fully fledged
commercial port will be constructed with an initial Chinese investment of $750
million.
In a recent meeting with the company’s President Sun Ziyun, Sharif stressed to not
delay the infrastructural development of Gwadar. He assured the Pakistani
government's full cooperation with the Chinese companies engaged in the port's
development. Sun Ziyun told Sharif that the financial assistance for this project
would be sought from the China Development Bank.
China will also assist Pakistan in the construction of an airport of international
standards at Gwadar.
One of the accords inked during Sharif's visit to China, which was also witnessed by
Premier Le Keqiang, envisages the establishment of an economic corridor between
Gwadar and Kashgar. Kashgar is the historic Silk Road city in western Xinjiang
region of China. It is connected to Gilgit-Baltistan through the 15,397 feet (altitude)
Khunjerab Pass. The ambitious Pakistan-China economic corridor plan will cost
approximately $18 billion.
Sharif is of the view that the Gwadar would help bring Balochistan's coastal areas
into the socio-economic mainstream. This would serve as a catalyst for fast track
development of the province. It would contribute towards rapid employment
generation in the province.
Gwadar will benefit both Pakistan and China. 60 percent of China's oil comes from
the Gulf via ships travelling over 16,000 kilometres in two to three months to its
commercial port, Shanghai. Gwadar will reduce this distance to a mere 2,500
kilometres.
Gwadar is termed as "the future of Pakistan". Due to its location on the channel of
Central Asia, Middle East and Asia, it can flourish as the World’s business centre.
The Chinese assistance in the development of this port is essential in positively
impacting Pakistan’s economy. - See more at:

BEIJING: Chinese officials have been asked to carry out research to identify a
location for railway connectivity between Pakistan and China, a press report said,
adding that people were enthusiastic on plans to build a train link to connect
Kashgar in Xinjiang with Gwadar.
“We’ve already been asked to carry out research into the location of a station in
Kashgar for the China-Pakistan railway, but a detailed plan and timetable have yet
to be drafted,” Wang Yongzhi, the deputy commissioner of Kashgar prefecture, was
quoted as saying by an English-language newspaper.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced in June that Pakistan would like to build
new road and rail links to Kashgar and establish a Sino-Pakistan economic corridor.
If an overland link were to be established, Gwadar Port would become the starting
point for deliveries of oil and natural gas to Xinjiang, China Daily reported.
Mr Wang said that China’s long experience of carrying out construction work on
plateaus could prove invaluable if the decision is made to build a railway across the
Pamir Plateau.
Yuan Jianmin, director of Xinjiang Logistic Association, said most freight from
Pakistan was transported to China via sea route, a journey of more than a month,
whereas a railway link would allow goods to be transported from Pakistan to cities
around China in 10 days.—APP

The poor condition of the roads between Kashgar and Pakistan means the network
is ineffective, constraining exports to Pakistan via the land port at Kashgar to just
100,000 metric tons each year, according to Wang.
“A railway link between China and Pakistan railway would transform Kashgar and
allow it to truly become an economic hub,” the daily quoted Wang.
In February, China Overseas Port Holding Co took over the management of
Gwadar, a deep-water port on the shores of the Arabian Sea and situated close to
the Strait of Hormuz.

All Day Accords, MoUs to expand Pak-China partnership scope -- BR
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif's decision to choose China
as the destination for his first foreign visit after coming to power signifies the
closeness and warmth which characterize Pak-China exemplary relations.
The visit, which can be termed a "success story", was indeed a prudent step, which
has successfully expanded the scope of Pakistan's strategic partnership with one of
its most trusted friend.
It is often said that Pakistan's relationship with China is "higher than the Himalayas"
and this visit has in many ways manifested these words into a tangible form in the
shape of bilateral agreements and memorandums of understandings (MoUs) signed
by the two countries.
The Prime Minister held constructive meetings with President Xi Jinping and
Premier Li Keqiang and discussed with the Chinese leadership how to address the
country's energy problem and development of infrastructure.
The two sides signed eight MoUs and agreements following the meeting of the
Prime Minister with Premier Li Keqiang, including Pakistan-China Economic
Corridor accord.
Based on these agreements and MOUs, a comprehensive framework outlining a
roadmap to upgrade and expand the economic, trade, cultural and strategic ties
between Pakistan and China, can be laid down.
Some of the projects, which will start as a result of these agreements, certainly
have the potential to revolutionize the bilateral trade activity and also transform the
entire economic landscape of the region.
According to experts, in today's world where relations between countries are
increasingly being shaped by trade diplomacy, the future of Pakistan-China
relations will also be defined by trade and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's visit
presented a real opportunity for Pakistan and China to take their economic ties to a
new zenith.
Especially when like Pakistan, a new leadership has taken the reins of power in
China too. This was an important juncture for both the countries.
As an experienced leader with vision, Nawaz Sharif was able to recognize this
important opportunity quite quickly and this was evident from the discussions he
held with Chinese premier Li Keqiang when they first met in Islamabad in May.
The warm welcome by the Chinese leadership for the Prime Minister is a clear
indicator of the importance China attaches to its relations with Pakistan.
During the visit, both the sides not only identified key areas of cooperation but also
signed important agreements. China showed its keenness to play a key role to help
Pakistan meet its energy needs and this has been a major success of the visit.
The Prime Minister's plan for economic revival of Pakistan has Karachi at its center,
and this was evident from his discussions in almost every meeting. His interest to
have briefings on metro and subway systems in China shows that he is very keen to
provide a good and reliable transport system to the residents of Karachi.
Information technology will also be at the heart of Pakistan's journey towards
economic revival. In this area, the two countries agreed to expand their cooperation
too and lay down a sophisticated network of fiber optic connectivity, which is the
need of the modern times.
Agreements in textiles as well as health sectors were also signed and the
cooperation between Pakistan and China will continue to grow.
The key to the success will be the follow up of agreements implementation, and it is
heartening to note that a "China Cell" has been established in the Prime Minister's
Office for the purpose.
The Prime Minister also held detailed meetings with heads and chief executives of
banks, financial institutes and corporate leaders in Beijing, Shanghai and
Guangzhou.
The Chinese leadership in meetings with the Prime Minister, agreed to waive off the
condition of insure cover on Chinese projects.
The Prime Minister also met with Chairman National People's Congress Zhang
Deijang. Both the leaders exchanged views on bilateral relationship and means to
cement it further.
He visited Shanghai in state-of-the-art High Speed Train and during the journey
held a number of meetings and got details about the train operation and cost.
At these meetings arranged in the train, a number of Chinese companies evinced
1031
Mon
keen interest in the construction of various projects, including power plants, high
speed train, Basha dam, optic fiber and motorways.
The Prime Minister also met with the Governor of Guangdong province, Zhu
Xiaodan, and discussed bilateral relations, including promotion of tourism between
the two sides.
Later, in a joint statement, both the countries vowed to promote policies, aimed at
advancing the cause of peace, cooperation and harmony creating a win-win
situation in the region. In order to promote cultural and social ties, the two sides
agreed to encourage their cities and provinces to establish twinning relationships.
It is quite evident that the visit of Prime Minster Nawaz has provided further impetus
to the existing Pak-China partnership, which is a source of peace, stability and
prosperity of the two countries as well as the region.

timetable.
The meeting was held as a follow-up to the recent visit of Pakistani Prime Minister
Nawaz Sharif here during which the progress of the project construction was
reviewed.
The company had informed Sharif that the project was expected to be completed by
June 2016. However, in view of its acute energy crisis, Pakistan wants the mega
hydropower project to be completed before the given time frame.
Before embarking on his visit to China, Sharif had visited the site of the project and
directed the authorities concerned to expedite construction work and make it
functional by 2014-15 to overcome Pakistan’s crippling power shortage.
Timely completion of the project would reduce the gap between demand and supply
of power in Pakistan.
Moreover, it has strategic importance as with its early completion the government of
Pakistan can claim water rights of river Neelum, the report said.
The project which is in the vicinity of PoK’s capital Muzaffarabad envisages the
diversion of Neelum river water through a tunnel and after producing power, water
will flow into the Jhelum river.

A new era of ever expanding, versatile ties – Pak-China cooperation
ISLAMABAD - The development projects committed under the eight memorandums

of understanding (MoU) signed during Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif’s visit to
China and the establishment of a `China Cell’ at the PM’s office to oversee the
smooth execution of projects carried out by Chinese firms, are both hoped to give
an impetus to the national economy.
The bilateral agreements signed during the PM’s five-day visit included a trade
corridor featuring the 2000-kilometer road and rail link between Kashgar and
Gwadar, the construction of the Lahore-Karachi Motorway and extending technical
and political cooperation between the two friendly states. In reference to the Pak-
China trade corridor, Nawaz said that it would uplift the socio-economic conditions
of the Pakistanis.
He said that steps would be taken for turning the Gwadar Port into a trade hub. He
also termed the impending cooperation in the energy and infrastructure sectors
between the two countries as a new era of ever expanding multifaceted ties.
Realizing the significant presence of Chinese companies in Pakistan, Nawaz
decided to set up the ‘China Cell’ for supervising projects that were to be executed
with Chinese cooperation.
He said the cell would oversee the execution of the development projects to steer
the country out of the present crisis.
The PM said that both the sides had constituted a taskforce to ensure speedy
completion of the projects.
He assured all-out support to Chinese companies willing to work in Pakistan on
hydro power projects, mass transit systems in Karachi and Lahore and on high
speed trains.
In order to boost the confidence of Chinese companies, Nawaz categorically said
the country did not require civil servants and officials, who were not pushing forth
the completion of development projects. Rather, fresh and talented blood having
missionary zeal and possessing realization of the significance of such projects
should be injected through the civil service.
Former Ambassador Javed Malik said that some of the projects to be launched as a
result of these accords would revolutionize bilateral trade activity and transform the
region’s economic landscape.
He observed that Pakistan’s strategic location was a major strength, adding that
some south Asian states, the oil rich Gulf economies and the economic giant China
were all in its immediate vicinity, making it a major strategic trade gateway. Karachi
was already providing access to the Arabian Sea but now all eyes were fixed on the
Gwadar port, he added.
Pakistan and China also inked an agreement on economic and technical
cooperation and moreover, two letters of exchange on training courses for textile,
flood relief, disaster management and provision of equipment for eradication of
polio were also signed.
Another document was signed between the Strategic Communication Organization
of Pakistan and the Huawei Company of China for laying optic fiber cables and for
setting up a communication link between the two countries.
In regard to the Lahore-Karachi motorway project Nawaz said that its feasibility
study would be completed within three months and that it would be executed within
two and-a-half years. After completion, the project would reduce travel time
drastically and it would also enrich business activity in the area.

Pak-China Economic Corridor to usher in new era of economic development,
prosperity
ISLAMABAD - Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said the Pakistan-China Economic
Corridor will usher in a new era of economic development and prosperity in the
underdeveloped areas of the country by connecting maximum number of population
through a network of highways and railways.
The prime minister expressed these views while taking a briefing from the officials
of the ministries of Planning, Communications and Railways at the Pakistan
Secretariat on Thursday.
Terming the Pak-China Economic Corridor as the future of the world, Nawaz said
three billion people, which was almost half of the world’s population, from China,
South Asia, and Central Asia would benefit from this economic corridor, adding that
it should be so designed that maximum number of people of the country benefit
from it.
Nawaz was briefed at length about the proposed alignments and lines from
Khunjrab to Gwadar that would be constructed as part of the Pakistan-China
Economic Corridor.
Emphasising on ensuring the good quality and transparency, the prime minister
directed the authorities concerned to explore more options keeping in view factors
such as terrain, population and social cost of the project in the form of population
dislocations while drawing the areas through which this corridor would be passing.
Nawaz said the Lahore-Islamabad Motorway should be taken as a model and that
its quality and standard need to be kept in view while constructing the Pak-China
Economic Corridor.
Taking strong exception to the poor condition of motorways and roads in the
country, the prime minister said motorways, highways and road networks were
national assets and their repair and maintenance must be given the top most
priority.
He lamented the fact that projects had never been completed on time and not
completing them on time had almost become a national character.
“Without setting our priorities right and without moving in the right direction, we
cannot attain the goal that we have in our mind for the people of Pakistan,” Nawaz
said.
Expressing dissatisfaction over the briefing, the prime minister gave one week to
the Ministry of Communications to complete its work and arrange a follow-up
briefing.

from Khunjerab to Gwadar that are to be constructed as part of the Pakistan-China
economic corridor.
Putting great emphasis on ensuring quality of work and transparency, he directed

the concerned authorities to explore more options keeping in view the factors of
terrain, population and social cost of the project in the form of population dislocation
while drawing the areas through which this corridor will be passing.
The prime minister said that the Lahore-Islamabad Motorway should be taken as a
model and that its quality and standard need to be kept in view while constructing
the Pak-China economic corridor.
Taking a strong exception to the poor condition of motorways and roads in the
country, he said that motorways, highways and road networks are national assets
and their repair and maintenance must be given the top-most priority.
He further said that we should have constructed many more motorways till now but
lamented the fact that development of roads and motorways had been a low priority
area in the country. He said that projects had never been completed on time and
not completing them on time had almost become a national character. “Without
setting our priorities right and without moving in the right direction, we cannot attain
the goal that we have in our mind for the people of Pakistan,” the prime minister
added.
Expressing his dissatisfaction over the briefing, the prime minister gave one week to
the Ministry of Communications to complete its work and ordered to arrange a
follow-up briefing after that.
He further directed the ministries of communications, railways and planning to keep

their homework up-to-date to take the process of cooperation with China on the
Pak-China economic corridor to next level of implementation. He also gave his
approval in principle for the restructuring of the Planning and Development Division.
Under the restructuring plan, the Planning Division will get the status of a think tank
for the highest policy input and the Ministry of Planning and Development will be
renamed as Planning, Development and Reforms Division.
Minister for Finance Muhammad Ishaq Dar, Minister for Information Pervaiz Rashid,
Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal, Minister for Railways Khawaja
Saad Rafiq, Special Assistant to the PM Tariq Fatimi and senior officials of the
Ministries of Planning, Railways and Communications attended the briefing.

All Day LNG terminals -- The Nation
LNG terminals
The approval by the Economic Coordination Committee of the Cabinet of the

liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals at Karachi is an essential preliminary to the
import of LNG from Qatar. However, the terminals approved have a total capacity of
1000 million cubic feet a day (mmcfd), against the agreement of 500 mmcfd, which
means that more LNG can be imported, whether from another exporter, or by
expanding the current agreement. The three projects, costing a total of between
$425 million and $490 million, would be completed in between 22 and 30 months.
Engro and SSGC will have dedicated terminals, which shows that the imported LNG
will have two distinct uses; domestic use and urea production. Pakistan is already
having to import urea, with the committee noting that the Industries Ministry had
floated two tenders for importing 100,000 tonnes of urea on emergency basis, with
one being opened on Monday. This means there will be less pressure on the use of
Iranian gas, and it will be easier to destine it for transmission to the power plants,
which will use it in place of oil, and thus will be able to generate much-needed
power cheaper. While Iran is the subject of American ire, this is not the case with
Qatar, which is accounted one of its closest allies in the region. The USA thus is
supportive of the LNG import, just as much as it opposes the IP gas pipeline.
It is interesting that the ECC considered this issue at the same time as the Prime
Minister stressed the utility of the Kashgar-Gwadar Economic Corridor, because it
showed that, while the corridor is seen both in terms of road and rail, it should also
be seen as providing multiple options. It is generally known that China needs Middle
Eastern hydrocarbons, and it is not hidden from anyone that Gwadar plays an
important role in this. Gwadar is also a second port for Pakistan, so any new
facilities at Karachi will not have to be built at Gwadar, and will thus mean that
China can use the port all the more. At the same time, it also has to be ensured that
the Pakistani hydrocarbon network, of fuel and petrol lines, is capable of playing its
due role in the economic corridor, which the Prime Minister was right in
characterising as the future.
The LNG projects show that there may be infrastructural issues in any agreement,
and they must be removed. Till these projects are completed, it will not be able to
import LNG from Qatar. That LNG might play a preliminary role in resolving the
energy shortage, but it is nevertheless a crucial role.

ISLAMABAD:
As a Chinese delegation is coming to Pakistan to hold first meeting of the task force
on Gwadar-Kashgar initiative, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has approved
restructuring of the Ministry of Planning for setting up special units for Pak-China
cooperation and improving the country’s global ranking.
The meeting of the task force on Gwadar-Kashgar rail and road project would be
held in Islamabad after Eid, said Ahsan Iqbal, Minister of Planning and
Development here on Saturday.
He was speaking to the media on the government’s decision to restructure the
Planning Division and Planning Commission.
Iqbal said the head of China’s National Development and Reforms Commission
would visit Pakistan to co-chair the task force meeting. In the deliberations, a
comprehensive roadmap for the next one year will be prepared in order to
undertake geological surveys and seismic studies on the Gwadar-Kashgar project.
Terrain of the route was very tough and prone to dangers like floods and
avalanches, he said.
Iqbal said in parallel to the Gwadar-Kashgar project, Karachi-Lahore Motorway
would be built on a fast track on the build, operate and transfer (BOT) model.
He said the PM also approved completion of six-lane Karachi-Hyderabad motorway,
Hasanabdal-Mansehra motorway and expansion of Pindi Bhatia-Faisalabad
motorway, all on BOT model.
Under the restructuring of the planning ministry, the Strategic and Regional Initiative
Unit will be set up that will work on setting up the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor
and enhancing regional trade.
Iqbal spoke at length about plans to restructure his ministry and the reasons behind
the decision. “In the last 14 years, the country has faced the worst kind of lack of
planning,” he added.
The restructuring of the Ministry of Planning and Development to make the Ministry
of Planning, Development and Reforms and also restructuring of the Planning
Commission will be done to meet all development requirements of the country.
Had the PML-N’s Vision 2010 been implemented in the last 14 years, the country
would have generated up to 28,000 megawatts of electricity by 2010, he said.
Iqbal said future of the country hinged on economic and governance reforms and
the restructuring would play a pivotal role. He was of the view that current economic
fundamentals were not in line with modern economic requirements.
In the restructured ministry, seven new units will be set up. Strategic Planning and
Policy Unit will be responsible for preparing Vision 2025, develop five-year annual
plan and also short-term annual plans.
It will also be responsible for coordinating with different ministries for developing
sector-specific strategies and will identify key challenges.
Performance Delivery Unit will be responsible for implementing the party’s
manifesto. It will develop key national and economic areas and monitor
performance indicators assigned to each ministry on a monthly basis.
Iqbal said monthly progress reports of all ministries would be shared with the prime
minister.
Reform and Innovation in Government Unit will promote and conduct research on
institutional reforms and innovations and coordinate with and support ministries in
undertaking reforms.
Pakistan Competitive Unit will continuously assess and promote Pakistan’s global
rankings in the areas of competitiveness, doing business, governance, fragility
indicators, transparency and anti-corruption.
Development Communication Unit will work for the promotion of development
dialogue in the media, raise awareness of development issues and suggest
solutions. It will also promote international best practices through the media.
Social Capital Unit will promote and incentivise development of education, health

services and communities as well as cultural exchanges, social harmony and
poverty alleviation.
Accordingly, the government has approved three additional posts for members of
the Planning Commission. These are member private sector development and
competitiveness, member governance, innovation and reforms and member
development communication.
Iqbal said the government would soon give advertisements to hire eight members,
as contracts of some of the present members had expired.
He said under Vision 2025, Pakistan would become one of the fast growing
economies in Asia and the goal behind this was to make Pakistan a developed
country by 2047.

All Day 'Kashgar-Gwadar corridor to open huge trade avenues' -- BR
Trade activities between Gilgit-Baltistan and the Southern regions of China would
boost up after the construction of Kashgar-Gwadar economic corridor. Pakistan and
China have already signed a Memorandum of Understanding in this regard few
days ago, it was learnt on Wednesday.
Deputy Director, Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), Gilgit, Sabz Ali
Khan when contacted said that Kashgar-Gwadar economic corridor was going to
change the fortune of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan in near future. He said that
TDAP would make efforts towards motivating people to earn money through
exporting different items. An official at TDAP's Karachi office said that China was
focusing on boosting trade with its neighbouring countries including Pakistan,
Afghanistan, India and Kyrgyzstan etc, for which it had planned to make Kashgar
city an economical hub within seven years.
Raheel Rao, Focal Person, 'China Focus Cell', while talking to Business Recorder,
said that TDAP's Director General Rabia Javeeria was concentrating on China as
the country had an enormous trade potential. He said that the China Cell was
established on the instructions of the Director General and it would monitor trade
and economic activities between the two countries besides exploring new trade
avenues in China.
He further said that Kashgar-Gwadar economic corridor would play a key role in
boosting tourism sector of Gilgit-Baltistan, generating huge job opportunities for the
local people. Sabz Ali Khan said that G-B was known for its fruit and vegetable
verities, which were also in great demand in China. "It would be a great opportunity
for the G-B businesspeople to earn valuable income by exporting organic products
to China," he added.
He further said that most people in G-B were engaged in conventional farming due
to lack of awareness about modern techniques. The local people could generate
good revenue if the farming system in the region was developed, he added. To a
query, he said that transportation system in G-B was badly affected after the land
sliding incident in Ata Abad, which turned the Hunza River into a huge artificial lake
submerging roads and villages. Now the reconstruction work of roads had almost
completed and the imports and exports activities through Sost border had resumed,
he added.

South Asia: Think Tank -- APP
BEIJING, Aug 1 (APP): Highlighting the importance of Pakistan-China Economic
Corridor, a Chinese think tank has said this corridor will be the backbone that
interconnects China with South Asia, and will play a significant role in weaving
together the networks of trade and transportation in this area. It was back in 2006
that a proposal was tabled for building a “strategic economic corridor” with China.
Seven years later, both countries signed a series of agreements and a
memorandum of understanding (MoU), which officially kicked off the construction of
the economic Corridor, writes Wu Zhaoli. assistant research fellow at the National
Institute of International Strategy, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in influential
Global Times. Both the countries signed the agreement on the corridor , when
Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif paid his first overseas visit to China early
July.
This corridor has gone through a long but stable process from proposal topractice,
mapping out requirements for further cooperation between the twoneighboring
countries.
China and Pakistan have maintained a long-term friendship and mutual trust,
whichhas however largely focused on politics instead of economy.
However, this MoU about the economic corridor will rectify this lopsided practiceto
make sure the further cooperation between both countries develops in a
comprehensive, stable and balanced manner.
Referring to India that holds a negative stance toward the corridor, Wu said
thatIndia should know that this corridor will have a positive influence on
theeconomic development of Kashmir.

All Day Pak to get multiple benefits from China’s optic fiber project -- APP
BEIJING, Aug 2 (APP): Pakistan will be greatly benefited in terms of security and
revenue from the state of the art optic fiber project between Pakistan and China for
which a prominent Chinese telecom firm “Huawei” has been assigned the task. The
agreement to lay optic fiber between the two sides was signed during Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharif official visit to China early July. A source at Huawei, a
leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider
told APP that based on the requirement and plan in contract, it prepares a plan to
implement it section wise.
The optic fiber will be laid between Rawalpindi to Khunjarab, a distance of 820 KM,
the source said.
The project will cost $ 44 million and will be completed within a span of two years.
From this project, Pakistan will get enormous benefits, the source said adding that
at present, Pakistanâ€™s international connectivity with the world is through
undersea cables SEA-ME-WE 3&4 and IMEWE, and Pakistan is connected through
spurs only.
This dependency is not only a risk but also entails security concerns. The
voice/data and internet traffic can be monitored and disturbed easily.
To offset such a threat, through this project, a link will be created between Pakistan
and Trans-Asia Europe (TAE) cable in China, which would enable both Pakistan
and China to have alternative routes for their international telecom traffic.
Successful implementation of the project would provide Pakistan with a direct
telecom access to China and the Central Asian States.
On completion, the project will also facilitate trade, tourism and IT awareness in the
region and generate economic opportunities particularly in Gilgit-Baltistan.Apart
from security assurance, the project is expected to generate revenue,approximately
Rs 1.5 billion in the first three years and, in the fourth year, the financial dividends
are likely to grow.
At present,Pakistan’s international connectivity with the world is through undersea
cables SEA-ME-WE 3&4 and IMEWE, and Pakistan is connected through spurs
only.
The climatic conditions warrants initiation of project from Sust to Khunjrab section
on top priority due to a very limited time-period left available in summer the year.
However, other than this section, the project will be executed simultaneously in
different sections(cities/towns).
On Huawei’s contribution towards Pakistan social sector, since year 2002 up till
now,it has cooperation with UTE Lahore Campus for setting up a Huawei-UET IT

In all Huawei contributed more than $ 8 million to help train Pakistani talented
youths. Total number is more than 3500 students.
In 2011,Huawei provided Cloud computing equipment to NUST and data equipment

All Day CPEC will usher in new era of economy: Pak envoy -- Pakistan Today
BEIJING - Pakistan's Ambassador to China Masood Khalid on Tuesday said China
Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) was network of road and rail links starting from
China's Xinjiang to Pakistan`s Gwadar port which would promote trade and
economic activities in the region. Addressing a symposium organised by the
Pakistan China Institute in collaboration with the China Institute of International
Studies (CIIS) in Beijing, the ambassador said the China-Pakistan economic
corridor would transform Pakistan into a hub of trade and commerce as this project
envisages establishing several economic zones and physical links connecting
Pakistan and China as well as the region. He said that a task force and secretariat
had been established while team of Pakistan would visit China soon for further
discussion on this project. The ambassador said the CPEC was both a long-term
and short-strategic plan of China Pakistan envisaged by Chinese Premier Li
Keqiang. The China-Pakistan economic corridor was a mega project with a cluster
of industrial parks and economic zones, he noted. He said that the visit of Chinese
premier to Pakistan and reciprocating visit by the Pakistani prime minister in July
2013 showed the interest and strong political will of the two governments to
implement this strategic project. Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed, Chairman
Pakistan China Institute, who led Pakistani delegation, highlighted the geo-strategic
situation and emphasised that China was a driving force of the Asian century,

All Day Economic Corridor to change fate of region -- Observer
Thursday, August 08, 2013 - EXPERTS at a symposium, jointly organized by
Pakistan-China Institute and China Institute of International Studies, expressed the
confidence that the proposed China Pakistan Economic Corridor, linking China’s
Xinjiang to Pakistan’s Gwadar Port through rail and road, will promote trade and
economic activities in the region. They rightly pointed out that the project has the
potential to transform Pakistan into a hub of trade and commerce as it envisages
establishing several economic zones and physical links connecting the two
countries as well as the region.
The mega project, the idea of which was mooted by Chinese Prime Minister Li
Keqiang, envisages a cluster of industrial parks and economic zones, and will also
serve as beginning of a new era of strategic cooperation between Pakistan and the
emerging economic super power of the world. The project is as big as China but
given the interest and commitment of the Chinese leadership, it will surely translate
into reality. It is this possibility that has apparently attracted attention of the enemies
of Pakistan and China and they have started hatching conspiracies to compel the
two countries to stop moving towards its implementation or at least delay it. The
sudden upsurge in violence and acts of terrorism in Balochistan is not without
reason and there is every likelihood that the forces whose interests would be hurt
by this fantastic project have become instrumental in creating law and order
situation. These forces are using Afghanistan as launch pad for activities aimed at
destabilizing Pakistan, Iran and China and therefore, a joint strategy should be
adopted to counter them. We would also urge leadership of Pakistan and China to
expedite implementation of the project as it will truly be a game changer in the
region.

All Day China giving Pakistan a powerful hand -- Pakistan Today
Whether it’s the $6 billion that CWE Investment Corp would be investing in Kohala
and Karot hydropower projects; the $3 billion that Lightening Africa is creating as
solar energy fund; the construction of a 930,000 MW power plant utilising
sugarcane byproduct agreed by Shanghai Marine Diesel Engine Research Institute
or the signing of the MoU for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, China has
vowed to give Pakistan a powerful hand in a wide gamut of power generation
manoeuvres. Furthermore, the planned transformation of Gwadar port from a
treasure awaiting exploration to being polished to its true value is going ahead
under Chinese supervision as well. Pakistan’s “All Weather Friend” is helping its
energy starved chum weather the storm and in turn expanding its fiscal hegemony
over the region. Even so, the security concerns and the volatility of the regions
wherein most of the construction work is taking place, still slashes a veritable
question mark over the safety of the projects and even their feasibility. About this
time last year, nine Chinese workers employed on the Gomal Zam Dam project by
WAPDA were kidnapped that stopped the progress in the construction of the dam.
The work had earlier hit a massive stumbling block when in October 2004 a few
militants kidnapped two Chinese engineers who were involved in the project. With
dams like the Gomal Zam Dam being constructed in the north west of Pakistan,
within proximity of the Afghan border which is the hub of terrorist organisations in
the country, and Gwadar itself located in Balochistan, where separatist
organisations like the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) have made the security
situation severely iffy, this powerful handshake between Pakistan and China doesn’t
herald a cakewalk by any stretch of the imagination. But since both the parties have
so much to gain, their respective enthusiasm is understandable. After this emphatic
triumph in the May elections, one of the first steps that Nawaz Sharif took after
coming to the PM house was planning a trip to Beijing to hobnob with Chinese
Premier Li Keqiang. The meeting with Chinese officials and energy firms has been
peddled as a massive triumph on the energy front and a step in the right direction
as far as overcoming the energy deficit in Pakistan is concerned. The National
Power Policy that was sanctioned last month complemented the deals signed with
the Chinese firms, since there was a lot of emphasis on utilising alternative energy
sources in the new energy policy. And while positives for Pakistan in this Sino-Pak
energy cooperation are pretty conspicuous, China has a lot to gain as well. The
deals between the two countries aim to escalate the development of a trade corridor
that links the Indian Ocean to Kashgar in Xingjaing. And the outlet for this corridor
would be Gwadar Port. This “trade and energy corridor” would help China link itself
to the Middle East. With refineries established at Gwadar, the oil from the Middle
East would be refined and then transported to China, via an enhanced transport
system. Within proximity of Central Asia and Strait of Hormuz, Gwadar can link
China to three of the most pivotal regions in the world today: Central Asia, Middle
East and South Asia. This would further cement China’s position as the global
economic and geo-strategic frontrunner, especially in the region. As mentioned
above, for this plan to work for Pakistan and China, the security situation in the
region is going to be the key. If Pakistan can somehow tame its militants and curb
terrorism in the region, the Sino-Pak cooperation bodes well for the long term uplift
of both the countries. The writer is Energy and Finance Correspondent, Pakistan

All Day Pak-China ties: Gawadar port one part of a larger plan -- The Express
Tribune
“This port will be facilitating China’s exports as well as Pakistan’s own economic
development and activities,” Jadmani said. The port needs to be effectively utilised,
and the operation is expected to pick up speed, he added.
“Clearly, the Pakistan-China relationship needs to be further enhanced for mutual
benefit, and this is a project that would help us out,” he said.
A “peaceful neighbourhood” including India and Afghanistan is what Pakistan
prioritises in its diplomatic guidelines, Jadmani said.
He described bilateral cooperation in infrastructure projects as “salient”, saying
many Chinese engineers have given their lives for the Karakoram Highway that
connects the two countries.
Bilateral trade reached more than $12 billion last year, and Islamabad is “working in
the direction” of raising this figure to $15 billion by 2015.
China is a very “strong emerging market”, he said.
During his visit to Pakistan in May, Premier Li Keqiang proposed helping Pakistan
to cultivate 1,000 Chinese language teachers with the aim of facilitating people-to-
people exchanges.
Jadmani said various projects contracted or operated by the Chinese in Pakistan

had contributed to a growing enthusiasm for learning Mandarin. “If you know the
language, it is very helpful to further cement the bond of friendship.

All Day Pak-China Trade Corridor: Prime Minister approves proposed alignment
-- BR
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif Friday terming the Pakistan-China Economic Corridor
as future of the country said it will provide connectivity with the Central Asian
Republics and make it a regional hub for transit trade.
Chairing a meeting to discuss the Trade Corridor from Kashgar to Khunjerab and
Gwadar, the Prime Minister, in principle approved the proposed alignment of the
Corridor, with directions to further evaluate the proposal in terms of time and cost
efficiency, after a detailed briefing.
The meeting attended by Minister for Finance Muhammad Ishaq Dar, Minister for
Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal, Minister for Information Pervaiz Rashid,
Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafiq, Special Assistant to PM Tariq Fatmi and
other officials, also discussed an alternative and shorter route along the Karakoram
Highway, connecting Chilas with Mansehra through the Babusar Top.
Prime Minister directed that this route should be developed on priority and said a
tunnel can be made across the Babusar top to make it accessible throughout the
year.
He directed that the route be connected with Muzaffarabad through a road from
Balakot and Garhi Habibullah. The distance must be reduced by building
connecting bridges and tunnels by using latest technologies and equipment, the
Prime Minister said.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif also directed to prepare feasibility for constructing a
road between Hawalian and Islamabad to provide a shorter route to Islamabad to
commuters from Gilgit, Mansehra and Abbottabad.
The Premier stressed the need for mitigating environmental impacts during the
construction of these roads.
The meeting also approved construction of Muzaffarabad - Mirpur road that will
reduce the distance between the two cities by 150 kms and give Mirpur a direct
access to G.T road at Dina.
During the briefing the Prime Minister was told that the alignment for Lahore-
Karachi Motorway will start from Babo Sabo Interchange on M-2 and connect with
Karachi passing through Khanewal, Multan, Sukkur, Khairpur and Dadu.
Addressing the meeting, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif also directed provision of
inter connectivity and linkages between Pakistan Economic Corridor, Indus
Highway, Motorways and Grand Trunk Road to provide impetus to the economic
activity in the country and easier travel facilities to the commuters.

All Day Making Pakistan true of trade -- Frontier Post
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, in a meeting held in Islamabad on Friday, approved a
proposed alignment of the Pak-China Trade Corridor starting from Kashgar to
Khunjerab and Gwadar that, he believed, will make Pakistan a hub of transit trade
in the region. The proposed 2,000-kilometre road and rail link connecting Chinese
city Kashgar to Pakistani seaport of Gwadar is likely to cost $18 billion. Apart from
connecting two neighboring states, the proposed transit trade route also envisages
several economic zones in various cities that otherwise are relatively under-
developed as compared to the rest of the country.
Taking keen interest in the new international trade link, the Prime Minister directed
further evaluation of the proposal in terms of time and cost efficiency. In the given
geo-political situation, the project, no doubt, can guarantee a new lease of life to the
fragile stability of the country. Connecting China, Central Asian Republics and
Afghanistan with Pakistan may form a new regional economic bloc that will change
fortune of millions of the people living in extreme poverty. Pakistan, striving hard to
manage its tattered economy, is likely to struggle in coping with the massive outlay
of the project. The expected cost of the project is far bigger than the total foreign
reserves that Pakistan carries today.
To meet the financial constraints associated with the execution of the project, the
country had to rely either on the international financial institutions, or had to form
consortium with partners or the beneficiaries of the project. In the given political
scenario, the project may hit the snags, and to avoid the hiccups, political
leadership may have to stand a test of its life. It had to tread carefully in managing
the finances.
Apart from the Pak-China Economic Corridor, an alternate and shorter route along
KKH through Babusar Top, construction of Muzaffarabad - Mirpur Road, Lahore-
Karachi Motorway and many other link roads had also been discussed in the
meeting. The agenda to develop road network envisaged by the federal government
seems a bit ambitious if not exaggerated because the serious financial crunch the
government facing today has jeopardized provision of basic amenities like power,
education, health-care and clean drinking water to the masses. Hence the
construction of extensive road network is a difficult proposition. In the previous term,
the PML-N constructed an expensive Lahore-Rawalpindi Motorway that consumed
substantial amount of foreign reserves piled up mainly with remittances of the
expatriate Pakistanis that was then termed as the robbery in the State Bank of
Pakistan that works under the Constitutional guarantee. Pakistan got the motorway
but in the absence of basic necessities, the country’s economy had been derailed,
forcing more people to live below the extreme poverty-level. The GDP growth rate
has become stagnant particularly it is considered in proportion with the rate of
population growth. Motorways and highways do improve the interconnectivity and
linkages that provide easier travel facilities to commuters but it does not
substantiate efforts to run the industry smoothly and efficiently that well and truly
provides job opportunity for the masses.
Too much reliance on the foreign financial institutions and even on the multi-
national companies plunged the members of the ASEAN in late 90s into severe
economic crisis. Hence Pakistan should not do too much experimentation rather it
must rely on improving its indigenous resources to attain economic stability and the
development. For the sustainable economy and prosperity, the government should
first strive for maintaining law and order, eliminating extremism and militancy as no
foreign investment is forthcoming unless the country guarantees security and
protection to the life and property.
The harsh taxation without ensuring judicious return can render the government
unpopular that ultimately may derail the system for which the masses have offered
huge sacrifices. Thus the energies should be spent on the issues of the prime
concern at the earliest that can make Pakistan a true hub of trade and commerce
rather than targeting transit trade.

All Day Chinese team visits Gwadar port -- Dawn
QUETTA: A high-level delegation of the China Harbour Engineering Company
(CHEC) headed by its chairman visited Gwadar on Monday to review arrangements
for making the port fully functional.
The six-member delegation reached Gwadar aboard a special plane where they
were received by officials of the Gwadar Port Authority and local administration.
Strict security measures were made for the visit of the Chinese delegation.
Pakistan has already handed over the task of handling Gwadar Port to the CHEC.
The company which is responsible to make the port fully functional took over it at
the beginning of this year.
Sources said that the CHEC delegation held a meeting with the officials of Gwadar
Port Authority in which security and other issues were discussed.
They said the meeting also reviewed the pace of work on the construction of roads
which would link the Gwadar Port with coastal highway.
The sources said that the Chinese company would soon start work for making the
port fully functional and according to the plan warehouses, an export processing
zone and other facilities would be added to the port.
The government has already agreed to allot required land for these purposes.
After the meeting, members of the CHEC delegation visited the port.
The delegation was comprised of CHEC chairman Mr Lee, vice-president Mr Tang,

manager investment Mr Young, senior official of port operation Mr Lio and senior
officials Mr Wang and Mr Wahoo.
The Chinese delegation will soon visit Gwadar again to finalise measures for
starting work to make the port fully functional.
All Day Oil pipeline: Chinese team arriving to hold crucial talks -- Tribune Biz
Oil pipeline: Chinese team arriving to hold crucial talks
Pakistan and China are set to engage in crucial talks this week on laying an oil
pipeline from Gwadar Port to western China – an attempt that will allow Beijing to
diversify and speed up import of crude oil.
A Chinese team is expected to reach Islamabad on August 22 to hold talks on
energy issues including the oil pipeline, sources say. China had expressed interest
in investing in Gwadar after Pakistan handed over control of the port to Beijing.
The negotiations will be the follow-up to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s visit to
Beijing in early July, when he floated the idea of constructing an oil pipeline from
Gwadar Port to western China for the transport of oil.
“Now, the two sides will discuss modalities of the project and undertaking a
feasibility study to assess technical and financial viability of the pipeline,” an official
said.
Later, officials said, the oil pipeline could be extended and connected with Iran
which has already offered to lay a pipeline from its territory to Gwadar for supply of
crude oil.
Iran had also announced its intention to set up an oil refinery with oil production
capacity of 400,000 barrels per day at Gwadar Port during the tenure of previous
government.
“This proposal may be feasible after the Chinese take operational control of Gwadar
Port,” the official said, adding Gwadar was quite close to the Persian Gulf from
where nearly 40% of the world’s oil supply passes.
According to the officials, China meets 50% of its oil demand through imports from
the Middle East. Oil supplies come via Dubai-Shanghai-Urumqi route covering over
10,000 kilometres.

Tue
“Crude oil processed and refined at the Gawdar oil refinery can be exported and
transported to Urumqi through the shortest possible route – Dubai-Gwadar-Urumqi
covering about 3,600 kilometers – by laying an oil pipeline through the envisaged
energy corridor up to western China via Karakoram Highway and Khunjrab bypass,”
the official said.
Hurdles in the way like high altitude, freezing temperatures and a difficult terrain can
be overcome with the help of technological advancements. Many countries have
successfully completed similar pipeline projects under extreme conditions and at
high altitude such as Atacama gas pipeline, Trans-Alaska pipeline and Trans-Asia
gas pipeline.
Coastal Oil Refinery
China will also discuss the feasibility of setting up an oil refinery at Gwadar in talks
with Pakistani authorities. Islamabad has already pressed for reviving the stalled
Coastal Oil Refinery project, which had been shelved by China in 2009-10 after the
control of Gwadar Port was given to Singapore Port Authority. Global recession
proved another stumbling block in the way of resuming work on the project.
Coastal Oil Refinery, which was designed to process up to 60,000 barrels of crude
oil a day, was part of China’s plan to invest $12 billion in multiple projects in
Pakistan.

All Day Gwadar can become free port: PM -- Pakistan Today
Gwadar can become free port: PM
ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said on Friday that the Gwadar Port
could be awarded a special status on the pattern of the Hong Kong port.
The prime minister said that the Gwadar-Kashgar corridor will generate employment
opportunities and bring prosperity to the country. He said the Gwadar Port had the
potential to become a free port. He said that Gwadar Port had more potential than
Hong Kong‚ Singapore‚ and Dubai ports.
He said this while speaking at a briefing here on Friday, as reported by the state-run
Radio.
The prime minister said that the Gwadar-Kashgar economic corridor would bring
progress and prosperity and generate employment opportunities in the country. He
said that about three billion people of the region would benefit from this project.
The prime minister said that the corridor would provide China an easy access to the
Middle East and Europe‚ which would also benefit Pakistan.Nawaz Sharif said that
it would help save time‚ cost and freight charges‚ as it was the shortest route
between China‚ the Middle East and European countries through the Gwadar Port.
Referring to the security situation in Pakistan‚ Nawaz Sharif said that the menace of
terrorism should be eliminated to put the country back on the path of peace and
progress.A Chinese delegation is arriving in Islamabad on Monday to review the
proposed economic corridor project.
The prime minister said that special economic zones would be established along
the economic corridor. He said the Chinese companies had shown their willingness
to set up industries in the economic zones.
He also proposed to set up a new airport at Rawat near Islamabad. He said the
Muzaffarabad-Mangla Road would be constructed, linking it with the Grand Trunk
Road. Nawaz Sharif directed the Pakistan Railways to propose new routes to
benefit the maximum number of people.
The briefing was attended by ministers for finance‚ information‚ planning and
development‚ railways‚ religious affairs‚ opposition leader in the Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa Assembly and other senior officials.

All Day HK-Gwadar reflect PM’s vision of Pakistan -- Observer
HK-Gwadar reflect PM’s vision of Pakistan
Sunday, August 25, 2013 - THERE is no doubt that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
has a grand vision to turn Pakistan into a fast moving economy and a fully
developed country where motorways, fast railway network, industrial zones and
skyscrapers provide the modern day facilities to the people.
Chairing a briefing on Kashgar to Gwadar Economic Corridor, Mr Nawaz Sharif said

Gwadar had a potential like Dubai and Singapore and it could be given a special
status like Hong Kong to attract foreign investment and boost national economy. In
line with his vision, the Prime Minister also approved upgradation of the existing
railway track between Karachi and Peshawar at a cost of $ 2.7 billion. He has also
proposed the construction of new tunnels, train links and roads across the country
as he believes that infrastructure is key to development. These are mega projects
and once their implementation starts, they would boost economic activity leading to
more jobs and higher domestic industrial output. The idea of turning Gwadar into a
free port like Hong Kong would be welcomed by the business community as it
would accelerate movement of goods from all over the world and thus add to the
development of industrial zones. We have seen this successful model as pointed
out by the Prime Minister in Hong Kong, Singapore and Dubai and needs to be
emulated in Gwadar. Due to its geo-strategic location as a crossroads, Pakistan
can get maximum benefits of Gwadar Port for being the shortest possible route that
the project has to provide for transportation of oil and gas to the energy starved
countries. Besides, the proximity of the Port to the Gulf and Central Asian Republics
would provide a unique opportunity for Pakistan to capitalize on them through better
diplomatic ties with Arab States and Central Asian Republics. The port can help
promote trans-shipment of containerized cargo in addition to unlocking the
development potential for the resource rich Balochistan. That will open up huge
avenues for Pakistanis to benefit from the port, particularly with the development of
infrastructure. We are confident that if all goes well, the Government is able to deal
with distracting issues and Prime Minister’s overtures to promote peace in the
region are reciprocated, Pakistan can certainly move on the road to progress and
prosperity.

‘Pak, China have entered into strategic economic cooperation’
* Ahsan Iqbal says stability must to transform Pakistan into a knowledgeable

economy
Staff Report
ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Planning, Development and Reforms Professor

Ahsan Iqbal said that Pakistan and China’s cooperation has entered into a new era
of strategic economic cooperation.
He said this while speaking to media on the occasion National Development and
Reforms Commission, China’s Vice Chairman and Minister Zhang Xiaoqiang’s visit
to Gwadar port.
“While both Pakistan and China enjoy closest political relations we failed to
translate this goodwill into a strong economic cooperation. The volume of trade
between the two countries is meagre $12 billion. The present leaderships of both
the countries are committed to fixing this imbalance. We must learn lessons from
Chinese experiences. The link between reforms, development and stability is most
critical in developing any economy. In order to transform Pakistan into a
knowledgeable economy we must ensure stability and become a symbol of hard
and quality work in the world,” he added.
He said Gwadar Port has great economic potential in the development of this
region. Its development will bring job opportunities and economic development to
Balochistan. We hope that under Chinese company the work of Gwadar Port
development will speed up. Projects to connect Gwadar Port with road network are
being fast tracked. Balochistan is Pakistan’s largest province with rich natural
resources. In the past lip service was paid to development of Balochistan but
present government believes in actions. Development of Balochistan is one of key
objectives of Pakistan 2025 Plan. The future belongs to education and knowledge.
Unfortunately, Balochistan is lagging behind other provinces in education indicators.
Those targeting teachers in Balochistan are doing biggest disservice to Balochs by
denying Baloch youth opportunities of quality education which is the key to a
prosperous future.
He said we wholeheartedly welcome Akhtar Mengal’s taking oath as Member of

Balochistan Assembly. Resolution of all political disputes can be found with
strengthening of democratic institutions. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is committed
to bringing an end to bloodshed in Balochistan. Those who are helping to promote
terrorism and violence in Balochistan are not friends of the Baloch, they are
enemies of Pakistan and using some elements inside Balochistan for their ulterior
motives.
He said during previous regime of PML-N Makran Coast Development Master Plan
was developed under Pakistan 2010 Programme, which was scrapped by Musharaf
government. Ministry of Planning, Development and Reforms has been directed to
revive the plan. Makran coast offers great opportunities for development. The 750
kilometres stretch of coastline can bring enormous opportunities for local
population. We invite all political forces in Balochistan to join us in transforming
Balochistan into a developed province through education, infrastructure building
and good governance.

Sunday, September 01, 2013
KARACHI: The US government has no objections to the construction of a harbour

at the Gwadar Port by China as it sees it as another world-class port, generating
new avenues for the development of the province, a US official said on Saturday.
Addressing the entrepreneurs at the Startup Cup business competition, US Consul

General Michael Dodman said, the United States that the US has no issues with
this progress.
“It is great to have another world class port, which will generate new avenues for
the development of the people of Balochistan. It will help develop the region and
create new jobs and opportunities in the country.
He said that his government has no objection to the harbour construction rather he
will like to have some firms of his country to invest in the projects there.
Dodman said that the port will serve as a transit point to the supplies for
Afghanistan and Central Asian states. “It is great to have another world class port,”
he added.
The US military’s exit from Afghanistan will increase transportation of army and
other cargoes through Pakistan, which serves as the transit route, he said, adding
that the US Embassy in Islamabad is in close cooperation with the government of
Pakistan and the Karachi Port authorities to handle the flooding supplies expected
in 2014.
He said the US is interested in improving bilateral trade ties with Pakistan and for
that the US is trying to tap those opportunities.
The US believes that fast growing businesses are the key to the Pakistan’s
economic future, Dodman said.
Under the Startup Cup competition, young entrepreneurs from across the region
are receiving training and guidance for their businesses.
The event was organised by the Indus Entrepreneurs (TiE) Islamabad Chapter and
funded by the United States Department of State. The aim of the programme was to
help identify and assist aspiring young entrepreneurs to transform their ideas into
successful businesses.
Dodman said that small and medium businesses are the key drivers of the economy
and Pakistan. The US has designed a new economic plan for Pakistan called
Venture Capital Fund for small scale entrepreneurs, which will be launched later
this year.
Later talking to newsmen, he said a new initiative of generalized system of

preferences (GSP) has been undertaken to help underpin Pakistan’s economy

All Day Pak-China Economic Corridor to bring prosperity in region -- The
Nations
ISLAMABAD - Pak-China economic corridor is the most significant project as it
would usher in a new era of economic progress and prosperity for both countries
and would benefit this region as well as the whole world.
These remarks were made by Li Sahao Tong, Commercial Counselor, Embassy of
China, while exchanging views with local businessmen at Islamabad Chamber of
Commerce & Industry.
He said economic corridor offers bright future to Pakistan and China and investors
of both countries should take advantage of this opportunity for make investment and
start joint ventures. He said China Airlines is soon going to start its flights from
Beijing to Islamabad and Karachi and it would facilitate businessmen of both
countries to exchange visits for exploring trade promotion and mutual cooperation.
He said launch of direct flights by Rayyan Air between Islamabad and Kashgar
would also help in improving Pak-China bilateral trade.
He stressed that entrepreneurs of both countries should meet frequently to explore
all avenues of bilateral cooperation and strengthen commercial relations. He said
ICCI should invite a delegation of China Chamber of Commerce & Industry to
Islamabad to promote direct interactions.
He assured that Chinese Embassy would try its level best to facilitate Pakistani
entrepreneurs in grant of visa so that they could visit China for business promotion.
In his welcome address, Zafar Bakhtawari, President Islamabad Chamber of
Commerce & Industry, said Pak-China economic corridor has created a new hope
in business community for better business prospects.
He was of the view that this corridor would not only improve bilateral trade and
economic relations, it would also promote goodwill between the two nations.
He said construction of roads and railway links from Gwadar to Kashgar would take
time and as a short term strategy, both countries should give priority focus to
connecting their major cities through direct air links to facilitate two-way trade. It
would also help in laying the foundation for long-term economic relations between
Pakistan and China.
He said China should grant multiple visas to Pakistani businessmen so that they
could frequently visit China. He said both countries should adopt liberal visa policy
to promote commercial ties up to the potential. He said currently Pakistani
businessmen have to go to Guangzhou via Hong Kong which is costly and time
wasting and China should start a direct flight from Guangzhou to Lahore to facilitate
enhanced exchange of trade delegations.

bilateral trade and economic relations between the two countries.

All Day ’PNS Aslat’ a testament of Pak-China ever-lasting friendship -- Business
Recorder
KARACHI: Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday said the
construction of F-22P frigate 'Aslat' with China's assistance was a testament of the
everlasting bond of friendship between the two countries.
The Prime Minister said Pakistan deeply valued the resolute Chinese support in all
domains and expressed confidence that cooperation on defence would strengthen
for improving peace and stability in the region.
Addressing at the ceremony of commissioning of the country's first indiginously-built
frigate PNS Aslat at Karachi Shipyard here, the Prime Minister said Pakistan's
foreign relations with China form a pillar of Pakistan's foreign policy.
He said Pakistan's strategic location could be only exploited to its advantage
through development of maritime sector and a capable navy.
He said Pakistan Navy was effectively defending and acting as a source of security
for international trade plying off the country's coast.
The Prime Minister expressed satisfaction that the construction of Aslat frigate was
completed within the contractual timeline.
He said bringing all four frigates into service within eight years was a remarkable
achievement for a programme of this complexity and scale.
He commended the dedicated workers, engineers, technicians of Karachi and
Hudong shipyards for their hard work, professionalism and dedication.
He appreciated the contribution of Ministry of Defence Production and Project
Directorate at Naval Headquarters, who worked purposefully to make this
programme a success.
He thanked the team of China Shipbuilding Trading Company for their support and
particularly Wang Dieje, Assistant President of China Shipbuilding Trading
Company for his dedication and expert handling of the construction of fourth frigate
in Pakistan.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said the government was fully cognizant of the needs
of Pakistan Navy and the maritime sector and assured that the government would
explore all avenues to enhance their capabilities.
He said that Pakistan and China share a close and time-tested relationship
stretching back to the 1950s. He said Pakistan viewed its relationship with China as
enduring, multidimensional and deep rooted.
He mentioned former Chinese president Hu Jintao who described the Pak-China
friendship as "higher than the highest mountains and deeper than the deepest
oceans".
The Prime Minister said that Pakistan was located at the crossroads of major
civilizations and trade routes, and its geo-strategic and geo-economic importance in
the present times demanded concerted efforts with regards to regional and global
security.
"We are, therefore, engaged and are contributing effectively to fight the forces that
are out to destabilize and destroy international order," he said.
He appreciated the efforts of Pakistan navy in safeguarding Arabian Sea - the
conduit for vital shipping lanes that are jugular veins of global economy.
He said Pakistan Navy's efforts in combating international terrorism and piracy
despite limited number of ships were commendable.
Nawaz Sharif said warships are nothing more than just a metal structure, but it is
their crew that gives them heart and soul.
He asked the commissioning crew at the ship to ensure excellence and uphold
these standards for others to emulate.
The Prime Minister acknowledged Chinese cooperation in development of Gwadar
Deep Water Port which he said has strengthened the maritime infrastructure in
Pakistan and opened new vistas of economic growth and prosperity in Baluchistan.
He expressed hope that the port would become a major game changer vis-?-vis the
trade and the economy of the region when rail and road routes from Makran coast
to the Western region of China through Khunjrab are developed.
Naval Chief Admiral Muhammad in his welcome speech said Pakistan's defence
policy was based on peaceful co-existence with other states. He said the country
had no aggressive designs against any other country.
He said that Pakistan Navy was fully prepared to safeguard the country's maritime
interests.
He said the commissioning of indiginously-built PNS Aslat was a commitment of
1079
Tue
Pakistan Navy to augment its capabilities through self-reliance.
The Naval Chief presented a memento of PNS Aslat to the Prime Minister.
Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan, Minister for Defence Production Rana
Tanveer Husain and Governor Sindh Dr Ishratul Ibad were present.
Earlier, the Prime Minister reviewed the guard of honour. A contingent of Pakistan
Navy presented salute to him.
All Day Pak, China Think Tanks moot heralds a new chapter in friendship --
Business Recorder
BEIJING: Ambassador Masoood Khalid has said that the inauguration of China-
Pakistan Thin Tanks forum heralds the opening of a new chapter in the fields of
intellectual and people-to-people exchanges.
Addressing the First Annual meeting of the China-Pakistan Think Tanks that
concluded here on Sunday, Ambassador Khalid said that the purpose of the
meeting was to celebrate Pakistan-China friendship, to recount what we have
achieved in the past and to look towards what more we can achieve in the future.
Pakistan and China, Ambassador said are bound together by unique fraternal ties
that have withstood global and regional upheaval, and remained impervious to
political changes taking place within our own countries.
"In fact, we have seen this inherent strength of the relationship on display when the
near-simultaneous change of leadership in China and Pakistan was followed almost
immediately by high-level visits," he observed.
First, newly-elected Chinese Premier Li Keqiang paid a visit to Pakistan in May
when he embarked on his first overseas trip. Then, Prime Minister Muhammad
Nawaz Sharif made China his first port of call to China after assuming office.
Both these visits have, he said reaffirmed the permanent and strategic nature of our
ties.
Indeed, Prime Minister Sharif's visit in July has helped strengthen the relationship
by putting economic cooperation at the centre of our bilateral agenda. This is a
historic change of course; a reorientation, he noted.
He pointed out that the Pakistan-China Economic Corridor would be the flagship
project for this new phase in the growth of our relationship.
He was delighted to note that discussions in the forum devoted a lot of time to
Gwadar, a landmark project.
By linking the Gwadar port via Karakoram Highway with Xinjiang, he said the
Pakistan-China Economic Corridor will be a transformational project for our two
economies.
It dovetails perfectly with the Chinese government's strategy for developing China's
inland provinces. It will spur bilateral trade and investment and allow us to make
better use of the elaborate institutional architecture already in place to support an
enhanced economic engagement, he added.
He said it will invigorate mechanisms like the Pakistan-China FTA, Pakistan-China
Joint Energy Working Group and the Pakistan-China Joint Investment Company.
Finally, as an engine for economic integration, the Economic Corridor could act as a
game-changer for the whole region, he said.
He maintained that mindful of this opportunity to forge a new destiny, our two
governments are actively working together to ensure speedy implementation of this
project.
In this connection, he said that just recently, a high-powered delegation led by Vice
Chairman Zhang Xiaoqiang of the National Development and Reform Commission
visited Pakistan to meet with their Pakistani counterpart agencies and performed
the initial spadework.
They had fruitful discussions and have returned with a better understanding of what
needs to be done for the Corridor project to take off the ground.
He said that on bilateral cooperation in the cultural, people-to-people and education
spheres, this has been a relatively neglected facet of our relationship.
While the high degree of mutual trust seen at the leadership level between Pakistan
and China and is matched by the depth of love and affection among our two
peoples, there exist few forums that bring together students, thinkers, artists and
young entrepreneurs from the two countries on one platform. In that sense, the
inauguration of this annual event is a step in the right direction. But there is need to
do more. It is especially important that the rich narrative of our friendship is
1080
Tue
transmitted to our young people.
Ambassador Khalid lauded the splendid work being done by the Pakistan Study
Centers at Tsinghua and Peking Universities here, at the Fudan University in
Shanghai and the Sichuan University in Chengdu for doing outstanding job in
promoting education and cultural exchanges between the two countries.
He also shed lights on Pakistan's pivotal role in regional and international affairs
and noted that as time for withdrawal of international forces from Afghanistan is
getting closer, therefore there is need for closer coordination between Pakistan and
China is greater than ever.
Both Pakistan and China share the same aspirations for Afghanistan.
Pakistan will continue to support China on all its core issues whether these pertain
to Taiwan, Tibet or Xinjiang, he observed.
Maintaining close strategic cooperation with China on all bilateral and global issues,
Ambassador said, has been and will remain the cornerstone of Pakistan's foreign
policy.
Ambassador Khalid on the occasion highly praised Professor Li Xiguang, Director
Tshingua University Centre for Pakistan Culture and Communication Studies.
He said without his tireless efforts successful holding of this forum would not have
been possible.
Professor Li has rendered extraordinary services for the promotion of Pakistan-
China relations, he added.
Ambassador Masood Khalid termed Professor Li, as a true friend of Pakistan.
China-Pakistan economic corridor for energy, trade, transport, and industrial
development, equity-based economic growth, regional geopolitics, foreign policy
challenges, scientific and technological cooperation, higher education, cultural
cooperation were the major topics discussed at the forum.
The two day meeting was hosted by China's Tsinghua University Centre for
Pakistan Culture and Communication Studies, China-Pakistan Joint Think Tank, the
National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) and the Academy of China
and World Agendas.
On the occasion, Senator Mushahid Hussain, Chairman of Pakistan-China Institute
was given award for outstanding contribution towards Public Diplomacy.

All Day 52,000 tons of urea to reach Gwadar port tomorrow -- Business Recorder
The first shipment of 52,000 tons of urea, imported by the Trading Corporation of
Pakistan (TCP), will reach Gwadar port on Friday. In July this year, the Economic
Co-ordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet had directed the TCP to import urea
on an urgent basis aimed at ensuring sufficient urea supply during upcoming crop
season.
The TCP was asked to import 0.3 million tons of urea to avoid any shortage in the
domestic market, which is facing some shortfall due to slow production by the local
fertiliser producerrs because of gas curtailment Following the directives of the ECC,
TCP successfully awarded tenders to the three different parties for the import of the
said quantity. First consignment under this import is reaching here on Friday, 2013
from China, sources said.
As per schedule given by the supplier, the first ship namely "MV Global Brave"
carrying about 52,000 tons of urea will reach Gwadar port on Friday evening. The
ship has already sailed from China for Pakistan. Another shipment is scheduled to
arrive on September 12, 2013 from China.
Besides import of urea from international market, the TCP is also importing the
commodity from Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) against $100 million
credit grant of Saudi Fund for Development. Under the credit facility so far some
164,000 tons of urea has reached Pakistan, while remaining some 40,000 will arrive
till December 2013.
All Day FPCCI discusses projects for economic uplift of Balochistan -- Daily

has prepared proposals for the economic revival of Balochistan pertaining to trade
facilitation, fisheries, agriculture and mining which were discussed in meetings held
with representatives of the federal and provincial governments in Gwadar.
Mir Naveed Jan Baloch Vice President of FPCCI in meetings with Ahsan Iqbal
Federal Minister for Planning and Development and Dr Abdul Malik Baloch Chief
Minister of Balochistan briefed the government representatives about the need for
creating greater opportunities for trade and transit trade with neighboring countries
by opening Gwadar-Gabd, Mand-Pishin and Panjgur-Chedagi borders with Iran and
Noshki border with Afghanistan for trade and immigration.
He said Gwadar Port should be activated with maximum involvement of the local
community, in order to ensure stability and prosperity in the areas surrounding the
Port.
Later a detailed presentation was made by FPCCI to the Balochistan Chief

Secretary Babar Yaqoob Fateh Mohammad. Baloch said shrimp and fish farms
should be set up on the coastal belt with the associated packing and processing
infrastructure so that seafood might be exported directly from Balochistan instead of
transporting it elsewhere.
He said foreign assistance might be sought for developing the fisheries sector, as
well as for developing expertise in livestock and dairy farming. Similarly, slaughter
houses and meat processing plants could be set up with foreign assistance in
border areas (such as Chaman and Taftan) to facilitate exports to Iran and
Afghanistan.
Baloch said he had asked the government of Balochistan to set up a Balochistan

Stone Development Company on the pattern of Pakistan Stone Development
Company, which would have equal representation from the public and private
sectors and would be a more effective way of addressing issues pertaining to
mining of marble, minerals and ores in Balochistan, which was now a provincial
subject after the 18th Amendment.
He said the Chief Minister had assured him the government of Balochistan was also

All Day Corridor to bring Beijing and Islamabad closer -- REUTERS
Links between Kashgar in China’s Xinjiang region and Pakistan have been
historically strong through centuries with merchants from both countries travelling
and trading via the Silk Road that connected the two countries. The bonds are set
to get stronger with both governments –who consider
themselves “all-weather friends” -- having agreed to set up the ambitious economic

corridor linking Kashgar in northwest China and Gwadar port in western Pakistan,
off the Arabian Sea. (The port was built and is now managed by China.)
The two countries are already linked by the Karakoram Highway that connects the
Kashgar to Abbottabad in Pakistan.
Around 230 km from south of Kashgar lies the Khunjerab Pass which is the land
border crossing between the two countries.
With the new economic corridor, modern links will strengthen older ones.
“It was a natural need for the two countries. When it takes off, the corridor,
according to some estimates, could bring around $ 80 billion to Pakistan in trade
benefits to begin with,” said Abdul Mujeeb Chaudhry, director, corporate and
commercial, Rayyan Air, which operates the only international flight taking off from
Kashgar connecting it to Islamabad.
The one-and-half hour flight became operational last August 14, Pakistan’s
Independence Day and so far is doing well, Chaudhry told HT in Kashgar this week.
Even now, a large number of Pakistani traders and businessmen frequent Kashgar,
crossing the border into China in long-distance buses from various cities on the
other side; some have had their bases in the city for years.
“Pani pilaye aapko?,” (Can I offer you some water?) asked Ahmed, clad in a Pathan
suite that set him apart from the local Uyghurs, as he delicately laid out golden
earrings, rings, trinkets and tiny bottles of perfume from Pakistan on a tray in his
little kiosk.
Around him the old bazaar of Kashgar was in thick flow last Sunday noon with
sellers making a pitch for everything from Uyghur tea, mink coats (for about Yuan
3000), women’s stockings, carpets and pillows and blankets with local-style
embroidery on it.
Two shops down the crammed market, Rashid Khan was another Pakistani selling
an identical assortment of women’s jewellery and perfume. Business is okay, both
said, as they enthusiastically broke into Hindi, a language rarely spoken in the city
of Uyghurs, Tajiks, Kazaks, Kyrgyz, and course the Han Chinese.
Ahmed said he was from Faisalabad and was doing business in Kashgar for the
last 10 years, selling his wares, which he claimed, were made in India.
The corridor would further strengthen economic ties between the two countries and
also generate employment in Pakistan, said Latif Khan, another Pakistani trader.
Kashgar’s direct India connection has long been relegated to history. Till 1947, the
British ran a consulate in the city, located close to the Id Kah mosque and behind
the Qinibagh hotel. The Communist Party of China (CPC), according to the plaque
outside the building, allowed India and Pakistan to jointly use it for a few years till
the facility was revoked in the early 1950s.
The original colonial building still exists today but instead of diplomats and
diplomatic cables it now has Chinese chefs and menu cards –it now houses a
Chinese restaurant.

All Day The Kashgar-Gwadar corridor -- The News

The prime minister recently held live televised proceedings on the likely alignments
for the proposed Kashgar to Gwadar rail and road links. Since the two pre-feasibility
studies on the subject were conducted during my tenure as chairman Pakistan
Railways, I thought that such an important issue being aired live was pretty useful.
The rail route from Kashgar to Gwadar would have some strategic but phenomenal
economic significance. In addition to serving as a commercial and trade conduit for
the two countries the new route has the potential of opening up those areas of the
country that have been denied rail connection even 65 years after Partition.
The primary reason Kohat, Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, Dera Ghazi Khan and the
interior of Balochistan have severely lagged behind the rest of the country is
because of an absence of railway connection. Almost all of Sindh and Punjab have
developed while only Nowshera, Mardan Peshawar, Haripur and Quetta-Chaman in
the other two provinces have manageddecent economic development. This is so
because raw material and finished goods could be easily and cheaply transported
by rail.
We should not forget that till the recent past the safest and quickest form of
passenger communication was by rail and investors would shy away from cities that
did not have railheads. Pakistan Railways has taken a severe beating over the last
20 years but it could be turned around – though not quite so easily.
It is, therefore, important to ensure that a route that serves the undeveloped parts of
the country be selected for the rail and road corridor from Kashgar to Gwadar. It
1086
Sat
would be a tragedy for the marginalised areas of Pakistan if the new alignment is
superimposed on the existing railway and motorways east of the Indus. That would
have adverse economic consequences for much of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and
Balochistan. Strategic considerations demand that the road and rail axis not be
concentrated close to each other.
Two parallel but geographically apart road and railway networks should be
developed on either sides of the River Indus. I propose the following alignment for
both the new railway and highway.
The route from Kashgar could pass through either the Kilik and Mintaka passes,
since these are closer to Kashgar, or else under the Khunjerab Pass. The former
passes were the traditional caravan route and would provide an alternate
communication link to Gilgit, perhaps through the Ghizr area, and then to the rest of
the country in addition to the existing Karakoram Highway. The exact alignment
would be determined by detailed studies; two prefeasibility studies have already
been undertaken by the Pakistan Railways in 2006. These need to be converted
into feasibility studies leading to a detailed engineering and design investigation.
This route would then pass close to Gilgit and lead to Jaghlot and Raikot. The
Skardu traffic would take off from Jaghlot. Since the KKH from Raikot to Basha (105
kilometres) would in any case be inundated by the Diamer Bhasha lake a new
rail/road alignment on the left bank of the Indus would need to be constructed so
that a tunnel could be bored under the Babusar Pass. From there through tunnels,
galleries and ‘open to the sky’ rail-road it would be aligned towards Mansehra, then
Abbottabad and on to the Havelian Railhead which is already connected to
Rawalpindi.
From Havelian the new railway line should follow the general route of the motorway
to Peshawar by crossing the River Indus near Hund. This would lead to Mardan,
Charsadda and Peshawar and then to Kohat, Serai Naurang, Dera Ismail Khan,
Dera Ghazi Khan and Kashmore. There is an existing railway line from Kashmore to
Dadu and Karachi which, of course, needs improvement.
We must appreciate that the present right bank of the Indus route has already
reduced the distance from Peshawar to Karachi by nearly 300 miles and the new
railway line would also be short. No new line should be constructed along the
existing railways, east of the Indus, but instead these should be strengthened to
speeds of 140-200 kilometres per hour from Rawalpindi to Lahore, Multan and
Karachi. In these sections rail speeds have to be increased by track and signalling
improvements rather than by duplicating rail services.
The need to extend the dual line from Lahore to Rawalpindi is of course a priority.
This arrangement would be more cost effective as well. The new railway line from
Kashmore should open up Balochistan and needs to pass through or close to
Khuzdar, Turbat and Gwadar. It would link Quetta with the existing track for the
minerals of Saindak, Reko Diq and other mines to be transported to Gwadar for
export. More importantly central Balochistan would be opened for communication
leading to rapid economic growth.
Only those people who have seen Turbat, Punjgur, Awaran, Kharan and Khuzdar
know how under developed these areas are. They deserve a better deal from the
state. In the years to come Dera Ismail Khan will be the breadbasket of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa after the province starts utilising its full share of water. Today the bulk
of the export and import trade to and from Afghanistan uses the right bank of the
Indus route with the activation of the Bannu-Mir Ali road leading to the Ghulam
Khan Customs Post on the border. A pre-feasibility study conducted by the
Railways in 2005 for the right bank of Indus line is available.
In the years ahead this railway line could be extended to Afghanistan as well
because the Torkham line has a very steep climb. The Quetta-Chaman line is more
feasible though is not without its technical difficulties. A railway line from Dadu to
Gwadar would be a waste of money – money that could be better utilised elsewhere
for the railways. The existing Gwadar to Karachi Highway is adequate to cater to
1087
Sat
the immediate needs of the port.
A decision is now due. What is required is getting the strategic vision correct even if
it costs an extra year or two. The chief ministers of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and
Balochistan need to remain on board.

All Day Why most Pakistanis are satisfied with the Sharif government’s first 100
days -- Saudi Gazettee
Why most Pakistanis are satisfied with the Sharif government’s first 100 days
Irshad Salim
The majority of Pakistanis are satisfied with the first 100 days of the Nawaz Sharif
government, a survey shows.
Prime Minister Sharif received 62 percent approval of the masses across the
country for his government’s performance during its first 100 days, a survey
conducted by PILDAT revealed Sunday.
Sharif’s policy of seeking harmony within state institutions and provincial

governments was given the highest rate of approval. His reaching out on key
foreign policy issues also received popular approval.
According to the survey, 46 percent of the people gave a good performance rating
to the government in dealing with the issue of terrorism, while 52 percent gave it a
positive rating for coping with the electricity shortage.
Regarding its performance on key foreign policy issues, including relations with the
United States, China and India, the Sharif government was given a 57 percent
positive rating.
In the last week of August, I listed some key factors that appeared to be going in
favor of the government’s performance indicator. These factors appear to
complement the findings of the survey.
Some of these factors I considered to be politically mature, statesman-like and

synergistic:
Political factors:
1. Letting PTI rule KP and NPP rule Balochistan.
2. Appointing a harmonious, go-getter team of cabinet members and ministers.
3. Curtailing the extravagance and showing off which was the symbol of the
previous government.
4. Neutralizing MQM politically and selecting Mamnoon Hussain from Karachi for
the presidential slot.
5. Visits to China and then Saudi Arabia to establish the point that Pakistan is in
favor of regional solutions not the international big game.
6. Sharif’s peace overtures to India in the belief that “you can change friends and
enemies but not neighbors”.
7. Maintaining good relations with the military and respecting the decisions of the
judiciary while ignoring media criticism — all three of whom are key players in
Pakistan today.
8. Understanding that the terror issue is a menace to the economy and announcing
the formation of a high-level command and control authority forum.
9. No trace of corruption being used as an instrument to govern and appease

political players.
10. Telling the US bluntly to stop the drones in exchange for facilitating a peaceful
withdrawal by bringing the Taliban to the table.
1090
Mon
11. No political handouts or compromises seem to have been made so far.
12. No policy of revenge or reactionary moves has been detected. The Sharif
government’s team appears serious and mature and is taking steps to conduct
business. Ministers do not appear on daily talk shows.
13. In short, politics is being conducted on the basis of statesmanship and

nationalistic fervor.
Economic factors:
1.The inclusion of Gwadar in the Chinese economic corridor will change the
destiny of the nation as a whole as it will affect all four provinces allowing all ethnic
groups to share in the benefits.
2. The Gadani Power Park is an excellent move which joins together China,
Balochistan and Punjab as equity partners with Sindh supplying coal and equity as
well.
3. Money will be borrowed from the IMF instead of begging for grants in exchange
for political favors to appease international players active in the region.
4. The government announced that load shedding will not end soon, and backed it
up by announcing measures to increase the power output. It also reached out to
India and Iran to purchase power.
5. China has been brought into the Iran-Pak pipeline in an attempt to offset US
pressure.
6. A motorway will be built from Karachi to Lahore and a subway constructed in

Karachi and Lahore.
8. Steps have been announced to achieve 100 percent education in Punjab and to
bring Mohammad Sarwar from the UK to serve as Governor of the largest province.
This appears to have also immediately checkmated PTI’s popularity in the UK and
Punjab.
Notwithstanding the correlation between my observations and the results of the

PILDAT survey, it must be noted that the Western media has yet to report adversely
on issues of governance, performance, and corruption.
However, a worsening economy coupled with terrorism and sectarianism remain

the focus of national and Western media for understandable reasons.
Implicit in the PILDAT survey results and my observations is the general opinion
that the nation fully understands the Sharif government’s predicament and the mess
it is trying to tackle, and that it is willing to go along with the government as long as
corruption, extravagant spending, favoritism, loot and plunder, cronyism, disregard
for rule of law, provincialism, etc., all of which unfortunately were hallmarks of
Zardari’s government, are checkmated, if not fully eliminated during the next five
years.

outer space, we would like to be the first candidate.
"We also want to cooperate with China in remote sensing technology and educating
the public about space," the China Daily quoted Bilal here.
He was in China to attend the five-day United Nations/China Workshop on Human
Space Technology, which opened in Beijing on Monday.
A total of 150 participants from more than 20 nations and regions attended the
conference. They are expected to discuss new space projects, microgravity
research, international cooperation as well as awareness education for the public.
“We would like to train astronauts from other countries and organisations that have
such a demand, and we would be glad to provide trips to foreign astronauts,” said
Yang Liwei, Deputy Director of China Manned Space Agency. Yang said that China
will also welcome foreign astronauts who have received training to work in our
future space station.
China is willing to provide training and open the Chinese space station to foreign
astronauts, he said.
Yang, country's first astronaut, who went into space in 2003, said many countries
submitted proposals to the Chinese government during the development of the
space station, hoping China would help train their astronauts and then send them to
the station to conduct scientific experiments.
The purpose of including foreign participants in our space programmes is not only
that these nations can send their people to outer space, but also that we will enable
them to develop their own space projects, he added.
China has been involved in a host of cooperative projects with other nations,
according to Yang.
Tracing the history of cooperation, he said that China and Russia have collaborated
on astronaut training, spacecraft technology and extra-vehicular suits, and "we are
cooperating with our French counterparts on a variety of experiments in
astrobiology and space medicine."
Furthermore, he said that Chinese and German scientists also performed
astrobiological experiments during the unmanned Shenzhou VIII mission in 2011.
Receiving congratulations on the 10th anniversary of his space mission, Yang said
China is also determined to assist other developing economies in the space flight,
noting that existing cooperative projects between China and developing economies
focus on the application of astronautic and space technologies, and training for
professionals.
All Day Pakistan plans to establish industrial parks and economic zones along
the proposed Kashgar-Gwadar trade corridor -- The News
LAHORE: Pakistan plans to establish industrial parks and economic zones along
the proposed Kashgar-Gwadar trade corridor that will connect China’s western
autonomous regions with Balochistan, official sources said on Thursday.
As per the alignment of Kashgar-Gwadar or Pak-China Motorway, this trade

corridor will be around 2,000km long within the territory of Pakistan, crisscrossing
snow-caped mountains, narrow valleys, lush green fields, sand dunes and dry hills.
In addition, this new trade corridor will provide Chinese traders a link to deliver their
goods to the international markets through the Gwadar Port. If compared with the
Chinese ports, this is the shortest possible route to the western provinces of China,
the officials said.
The economic corridor is being developed as part of a strategic partnership

between the governments of China and Pakistan, which was announced a few
months ago. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Secretariat has formally been
inaugurated in Islamabad with an aim to transform the strongest political relations in
economic relations, they said.
Before getting approval of the industrial parks and economic zones from the federal
1093
Fri
government, the Ministry of Industries & Production is in the process of giving final
shape to the proposed plan that has been prepared by its subsidiary National
Industrial Parks Development & Management Company (NIP), the officials said.
It is proposed to set up trans-freight stations along the Kashgar-Gwadar corridor to

facilitate trucks / containers, carrying heavy goods. The plan to establish trans-
freight stations has been prepared, keeping in view the importance of an organised
transport sector for the development and welfare of the population.
When transport systems are efficient, it is observed, they provide economic and
social opportunities and benefits that result in positive multipliers effects such as
better accessibility to markets, employment and additional investments. Therefore,
an efficient transport system is a key for developing this economic corridor, the
officials said.
They said that the transport sector plays a pivotal role in the overall economic
growth. It is observed that economies, which possess greater mobility are often
those with better opportunities to develop than those suffering from scarce mobility.
Reduced mobility impedes development, while greater mobility is a catalyst for

development. Mobility is, thus, a reliable indicator of development. It is also
necessary as freight transport industry in Pakistan is highly fragmented, as per the
plan.
Assessing various logistic aspects and other allied issues, it has been observed
that the most suitable locations for setting up economic zones / industrial parks and
trans-freight stations are the major exits of Kashgar–Gwadar corridor located close
to the nearby cities. The size of the economic zone / industrial park will depend on
the availability of the raw materials, agricultural production, mineral deposits, local
skill set and overall connectivity, location advantages and economic strength of the
particular area.
Each economic zone will target specific products and services, while analysing the
availability of local raw material, workforce and other factors, according to the plan.
The proposed sites of freight terminals and industrial parks included Sust, Gilgit,
Abbotabad, Lorala, Kohlu, DG Khan, Bhakkar, Rajanpur, Kashmore, Jaccobabad,
Khuzdar, Basima, Punjgur, Turbat and Gwadar.

Gwadar Port to be made functional’
Staff Report
KARACHI: Federal Minister for Ports and Shipping Senator Kamran Michael has
said the Gwadar Port will be made fully functional in next five months, as almost 60
percent of development work on roads has been completed.
This port will connect gulf region and Middle East to Southeast Asia. It is vital for
national growth and in securing economy of Pakistan.
The federal minister informed that government is striving to extend trade avenues
and boosting business in the country. “We are going to buy four oil tankers for our
fleet after which will be able to extend fleet of Pakistan National Shipping
Corporation (PNSC) up to 15 by the end of this year,” he told.
The minister was speaking as chief guest at the inaugural session of 3rd
International Conference and Exhibition on Shipping, Logistics and Supply Chain
Management 2013. Event was organised by the Publicity Channel in collaboration
with Ministry of Ports and Shipping, Pakistan International Freight Forwarding
Association, Pakistan Shipping Agents Association and Air Cargo Agents
Association.
Michael told that ship-breaking industry is being moved to Port Qasim for which 170
acres of land is earmarked and development work is carried on. About 3,000
industries are being moved to Port Qasim. An uninterrupted electric supply will be
ensured there for which 500 megawatts (MW) electricity will be produced through
coal plant. British government will also help in producing another 600 MW with solid
waste at Karachi Port, he added.
The federal minister said that IT database system is being installed and will be
made functional within next month at all ports. This will help to track containers
movement throughout and status of customs duty be also monitored.
Responding to questions of journalists about letter of Sindh government to port

authorities with regard to possession of government land, Michael said that they
have not taken any illegal possession of Sindh government land and in most of
cases they have possession of their own land. Future of ports and shipping industry
is very bright. We are trying our best to curb corruption in my ministry. We have
identified more than 3,000 ghost employees in Karachi Port Trust after which we
have installed biometric attendance machine to ensure transparency. We should all
work together for the promotion of economy, he added.
Earlier in his welcome address Publicity Channel CEO Naeem Qureshi said that
this event was aimed to share the latest information about developments and
technical advancement in the sector all over the world, particularly in Pakistan. It will
promote shipping and logistic industry through joint ventures, public private
partnership, technology, investment and networking, he added.
Giving introduction about the event, conference director Mehmood Tareen said that
logistic industry is critical for business enhancement but its needs are overlooked.
Transfreight Managing Director and FIATA Senior Vice President Babar Badat said
that 95 percent of logistics is being done in containers through shipping globally.
Ministry of Transport and Logistics is much needed in Pakistan. It shouldn’t only be
a ministry of shipping and ports. Now logistic is needed from its start point to
consumers. Almost 45-50 percent trade of many countries is regional as part of
their GDP, whereas our GDP trade is only 5.0 percent.
Talking on the topic of inter-regional trade potential of Pakistan, Agility Logistics

Chief Executive Officer Moin A Malik said that regional trade is very important in
today’s world. Almost 44 million containers move in Asia between different ports
1105
Fri
and its biggest volume is 4.5 million between Europe to Asia.
This industry is growing at fast pace. It was four billion worth trade a decade before
which is increased by 86 billion in 2011. Almost 22 times growth is noticed within
Asia alone. China global trade is estimated at 2.38 trillion dollars by 2012 and
Central Asian trade was 104 billion dollars in 2012, he mentioned.
Pakistan is on a very important and strategic geographical location. We have

potential through highways. Our current logistic trade is 0.3 percent of GDP which
will be 2.3 percent in coming five years and this could be a game changer, Malik
suggested and urged to address issues including improve logistic infrastructure,
security, curbing corruption, difficult custom procedures and government policies.
He requested federal minister to take notice of zero performance of National Trade

Corridor five years program as not a single target is achieved. Poor infrastructure,
non-existed railway system, technology, legislation, regulatory mechanism, people
and trainings are great impediments to the growth of this sector, he observed.
“We have generated Rs 20 million fund to initiate formal training program to develop
human resource. We will generate another Rs 30 million in coming months.
Government should support this initiative and provide land for this program,” Malik
requested to federal minister.
Pakistan National Shipping Corporation (PNSC) Chairman Muhammad Siddique

Memon said that shipping has most important role in logistics and now it’s growing.
PNSC is now in business of oil and bulk carrier and now planning to add more
tankers in its fleet. We are a profit earning organization now and have earned 1.9
million profits last year, he added.
Senator Abdul Haseeb khan in his address demanded federal minister to dissolve
all boards of public enterprises and induct people of good repute in new boards
including PIA, Pakistan Steel, KPT, Port Qasim, WAPDA etc, as they all are a great
hurdle itself in progress of these organisations. He also requested prime minister to
take notice of this situation.

Pakistan Paper Merchants Association (APPMA) President Mian Amjad Hussain,
Senior Vice President Malik Ahad Amin, Honorary Senior Vice President Khawaja

manufactured in Pakistan so that they could be included in the new FTA. On the
issues of Sales Tax, Income Tax and Wealth Tax, the LCCI president said that the
Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif had already constituted two committees with
the LCCI which would be looking into the problems being faced by the business
community.
He said that the LCCI would take up all tax related issues with the Excise &
Taxation Committee. About the shortage of electricity, he invited the APPMA
members to participate in LCCI plans to produce electricity on self-generation basis.
The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) Senior Vice President Mian
Tariq Misbah said that that an acute shortage of electricity and deteriorating law and
order situation in some parts of the country have pushed the economy to wall at a
time when the country is in need of an accelerated growth.
He said that in these circumstances, the role of Chambers of Commerce and

Industry in the country and other sector-specific trade organisations like APPMA,
working at the national level, become more important and relevant. The Lahore
Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) Vice President Kashif Anwar urged the
APPMA office-bearers to continue to guide their members about the events at the
international economic front so the people attached with the paper business could
be able to do their business with peace of mind.

All Day Trade with China -- BR

The World Bank, in its recent report 'Pakistan the Transformative Path', has
expressed its optimism about the prospect of accelerating the momentum of
Pakistan's FTA with China. Therefore, bolstering trade through FTA may be made a
main agenda item, along with proposed Kashgar-Gwadar trade corridor,
development of Gwadar port and construction of motor highways to link Pakistani
ports with Chinese markets.
But at the same time it is also important to evaluate the cost-benefit analysis of
each of these projects, for long-term, before prioritizing the projects. Equally
important is to analyse how these projects would be able to translate their futuristic
benefits into meeting goals of economic development, in the short run, to improve
our precarious trade deficit, boost our shrinking exports and revitalise the faltering
economic growth - hovering at three percent of GDP. There has to be a progressive
strategy for the much needed economic revival of Pakistan.
Exports-led growth is one of the many ways for the economic revival of Pakistan.
This goal can be attained by accelerating Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with China
as suggested by a World Bank report. This initiative seems most feasible in the
present scenario when the fiscal space for development projects like Gwadar is
highly constrained owing to the balance of payment crisis. Unfortunately,
negotiations on FTA, signed in 2007, were not a moot point in the recent spate of
high level meetings between Pakistan and China and remain the missing link so far
in the entire paradigm of economic engagement. Now when the World Bank has
highlighted its significance it must be given a serious consideration by the policy
makers.
Indeed, it is worrisome that Pakistan's exports to China suggest a stagnant position

over the last 6 to 7 years; showing a lack of export diversification in the Chinese
market. The major challenge for Pakistan, therefore, is to make FTA substantially
effective to harness reasonable terms of trade and increase product
competitiveness at par with other successful FTAs in Asia. As trade economists
suggest it is a way to expand trade volume, arrest the decelerating export growth,
increase investments thus reducing the current account deficit and contributing to
socio-economic development of a country both in the short and long term.
To begin with, it is important to negotiate, skilfully, some favourable tariff

concessions for Pakistan's exports- which lag behind consistently - so that they can
be competitive in the Chinese market. If products like leather, manufactured
garments, surgical instruments, mangoes, rice, oranges, fish, gem-stones, cement;
with comparative advantage but losing competitive edge, procure duty free or
reduced tariffs, it will be a great stimulus for boosting our staggering exports to
China, standing at a meagre $3 billion. This must be accompanied by improved
infrastructure development, establishing export processing zones and industrial
parks, including energy provision, in major industrial hubs of Karachi and Punjab,
further bolstering the stalled trade activity. This will not only add to economic growth
but also reduce our escalating trade deficit.
Furthermore, Pakistan has great potential of investment in energy, mining,

infrastructure, metro-railways, mass transit and dams and FTA can increase the
scope of Chinese investment in these sectors; opening a gateway for socio-
economic development and numerous employment opportunities in short and
medium terms. There is a separate investment chapter under FTA which ensures
1110
Sun
investment protection and promotion, expropriation, compensation for losses,
transfers, subrogation and dispute settlement between parties, making it a preferred
frame-work for investors
Increased exports through FTA would help reduce our reliance on traditional export
markets of the US, the EU and the Middle East despite higher tariffs, and increased
transportation cost, accompanied by a drop in demand of industrialised countries
due to economic and debt crises. Diverting trade to second largest merchandise
economy of the world will have 'trade creating effect' as suggested by the World
Bank; expanding our narrow export base by opening new avenues to a vibrant
destination of one billion growing middle-class consumers in China. For example,
China's per capita possession of resources is far below the world average making it
a net importer of minerals from Pakistan. The export of minerals may be further
accentuated under FTA keeping in view the growing market demand.
The success in developing a new trade-axis with China will depend on how tactfully
Pakistan bargains its position, particularly when China seems to be inclined to offer
some concessions owing to the renewed strategic importance of Pakistan in the
changed geo-economic scenario. In order to serve as an energy and economic
corridor for China, Pakistan must demand a trade corridor through FTA for its
declining exports. Later on, this may be used as a stepping stone for a wider deal
with the 10-nation Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) in a high
growth region of the world.

All Day Gwadar-Turbat Hoshab Road: PC1 cost revised upward to Rs 18 billion --
BR
The construction cost of Gwadar-Turbat Hoshab Road has been revised upward to
Rs 18.379 billion in the PC1 from Rs 5.687 billion because of National Highway
Authority's inability to complete the project even after the completion date was
revised upward by five years.
Senior officials of NHA and Ministry of Communication informed the Senate Sub-
Committee on Finance here on Monday that the cost of all the three sections of
road has been revised upward by in the amended PC-1. The original cost of 54-
kilometer road from Gwadar to Dasht was estimated at Rs 1.527 billion with
completion date of September 2006, but NHA failure to compete the project led to
upward revision of cost to Rs 2.494 billion and completion date to June 2008.
However, the project was not completed even on the upwardly revised date of June
2008 and now is expected to be completed in June 2013. According to NHA overall
progress was 60 percent.
The cost of 63 kilometers section of the road from Dasht-Turbat went up from Rs
1.699 billion to Rs 3.687 billion with upward revision in completion date from
September 2006 to February 2012, but the implementing authority was unable to
1113
Wed
complete the project even on the revised completion date. The project now, as NHA
stated before the committee, is expected to be completed in June 2013. According
to NHA, the cost of 76 kilometers section road from Turbat to Hoshab was revised
upward to Rs 3.166 billion from original Rs 1.933 billion with completion date from
September 2007 to February 2012 but the project could not be completed even in
2012 and now the completion is expected in June 2013. The meeting was informed
that 34 kms link service road from adjoining villages has been completed with a cost
of Rs 940 million in November 2011. The NHA official said that law and order
situation was major obstacle in timely completion of development projects in
Balochistan. Members said that the law and order situation was not a major
problem till 2006 when these projects were to be completed and the problem
started in 2007 and worsened in subsequent years.
Chairman of the sub-committee Fateh Muhammad Hassani stated that Ministry of

Communication and NHA should come up with the list of the sites of the
development project where security is an issue so that the committee could devise
some modalities regarding security arrangements for early completion of
infrastructure related development projects in Balochistan aimed at linking them
with Gwadar sea port. The committee also decided to invite Inspector General
Police along with Chief Secretary Balochistan after Eid for their input on the issue of
law and order to address the problem amicably.
Senior officials of NHA stated that National Assembly Standing Committee on

Communication has rejected a proposal for incorporating security component in the
PC1 of all the development projects of Balochistan on ground that it would set a
wrong precedent and other would also start demanding security component in their
projects.
The representative of Finance Ministry said that keeping in view the importance of
the matter, the ministry would support provision of funds for security component for
development projects in Balochistan. However, approval of the proposal would
depend on how effectively NHA and Planning Commission would plead the case.
Deputy Chairman Planning Commission Dr Nadeem-ul-Haq said he has been
requesting the government to stop approving development projects for the next
three years so that the ongoing projects could be completed first but 'pressure' was
not letting this happen.

"Hundreds of space engineers and scientists from several countries including
Pakistan and Nigeria have received training in China since 2005," Li Lan, Deputy
General Manager of the Communications Satellite Division of China Great Wall
Industry Corp, said in an interview.
China Great Wall Industry Corp is the country's only commercial provider of
international launch services and satellite in-orbit delivery. Providing training for
space professionals from developing economies was aimed at enhancing their
capacity in satellite operations and space technology application, he said.
China and Pakistan share a long history of space technology cooperation.
Pakistan's first low-orbit satellite, BADR-A, was launched by China in 1990.
If China starts taking foreign astronauts to outer space, we would like to be the first
candidate," said Ahmed Bilal, chairman of the Pakistan Space and Upper
Atmosphere Research Commission. We also want to cooperate with China in
remote sensing technology and educating the public about space," China Daily
quoted him earlier.
China launched a communications satellite PAKSAT-1R for Pakistan from the
Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province in August
2011.
The satellite was China's first in-orbit delivery to Asian customers and also the first
commercial satellite export to international users.
PAKSAT-1R was now providing a range of services, including broadband Internet,
telecom and broadcasting, covering some regions of Europe, South Asia, the
Middle East, and the eastern Africa.
The contract for the PAKSAT-1R was signed in 2008 between China Great Wall
Industry Corporation and the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission
of Pakistan.
Chairman SUPARCO, Ahmed Bilal who recently attended two international
conferences on space sciences in China, in an interview said that space technology
applications act as a catalysts in socio-economic development.
Pakistan, he said also wanted to get maximum benefits from spaces technology
applications and the present government is attaching great importance to it.
Space Technology Applications are now playing an important role in human life and
were being commonly used with full efficacy by shipping lines, airlines, in the fields
of agriculture, medicines, spreading education, survey for dam constructions, road
alignments, disaster management etc, Bilal observed.
Li Lan said the training to engineers and scientists covers satellite operations,
space technology and engineering that can greatly enhance their knowledge of
satellite operations.
China Great Wall Industry Corp, a subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and
Technology Corp, has launched 43 satellites and assisted in 37 more launches for
international clients from 18 countries and regions, according to the company's
latest statistics.

All Day Pak-China joint military exercise begins -- BR
Pakistan-China Joint Military Exercise YOUYI-IV aimed at sharing mutual exchange
of experience and information through a comprehensive training programme in real
time, commenced near Jehlum on Monday. The joint exercise, spread over a period
of two weeks, is fourth in the series in which Special Forces from both sides will
participate. According to ISPR, the Exercise YOUYI-IV is a brigade level joint
exercise between the two armies.
Chinese army being well equipped and highly technical, in nature is very
meticulous, keen and equally professional in their approach. During last joint
exercise in China they demonstrated high sense of professionalism and friendship
towards Pakistan.
Exercise YOUYI, which literally translates "Friendship" between two countries,

started in 2004. So far three exercises have been conducted, including two in China
and one in Pakistan. These exercises were mandated to boost existing professional
relationship between the two friendly Armies. It may be mentioned here that
Pakistan and China enjoy extremely close and brotherly relations since their
inception, which have matured and strengthened over the years.
The forthcoming Joint Military Exercise YOUYI-IV will certainly pave the way for
further cementing existing bilateral relations between the two countries. Senior
military leadership from both sides will also attend the exercise. The YOUYI-IV
exercise will be a true manifestation to a famous Chinese phrase "Pakistan China
friendship is higher than the mountains and deeper than oceans".

All Day World Fisheries Day: seafood export-based policy being evolved: Michael
-- BR
Federal Ports and Shipping Minister, Kamran Michael, on Thursday said the
government is evolving a fresh fisheries policy with a clear view to augment export
of the country's key seafood products especially tuna and shrimp species. Being the
chief guest at a seminar, which WWF-Pakistan and Marine Fisheries Department
(MFD) jointly organised, on Promoting Rights Based Approaches for Fishermen at a
hotel to mark World Fisheries Day, he said the government will include fishermen's
views in exports related policies.
He said the government will bring the fishermen community into the country's
mainstream business affairs to end their financial and social miseries. He said the
government will ensure that the fishermen receive a better price for their catch on
the local market.
He said the government plans to import fibre glass fishing vessels which will have
general packet radio service (GPRS) facility and life protection tools to help the
fishermen carry out deep-sea operations in all weathers without troubles.
Michael said the government is going to import 50 such boats which the fishermen
will be offered on instalments. He vowed the government will ensure a better
lifestyle to the seafarer community. Michael also assured the stakeholders of the
government's seriousness to implement the EU specifications to increase the
country's seafood export especially tuna fish and a variety of shrimp species to the
European markets.
He pointed out that the government plans to develop fish harbour and its ancillary
packaging units in Gwadar with the help of Belgium. He said the development of the
harbour will help fishermen of Gwadar find better price for their catch. Speedy-cargo
vessels will be imported to help the country's seafood export reach gulf nations
quickly and at cheap cost, he said, adding that the there are about 13 companies
interested in bidding for the import of such vessels.
Sindh Fisheries Minister, Jam Khan Shoro said the provincial government is
developing fisheries infrastructure to facilitate the fishermen especially building of
floating jetties in the creeks. He said Karachi fish harbour is also being upgraded
through expansion of facilities on modern lines. He appealed to the federal
government to support fisheries projects in the province.
Director General, Marine Fisheries Department, Shaukat Hussain in his welcome

address said the government is taking steps to develop the country's fisheries
sector. Resources are dwindling in the wake of excessive fishing which has badly
hit the livelihood of a fisherman. He said the increasing fishing fleet has a serious
impact on the marine resources especially in the coastal waters.
Fisheries Advisor to Chief Minister Balochistan, Mir Haji Akbar Askani, stressed the
need for a wider development in the coastal areas with a view to improve living
conditions of the poor fishermen. He said the Balochistan government will fully
support the federal government's development projects in the province.

All Day Gwadar Port is blessing for Pak economy -- The Frontier Post
Gwadar Port is far away from economic hub of Pakistan due to absence of
infrastructure communication facilities which are a prerequisite to for supporting the
port operations and a strong link with the rest of the economic centers of the
country.
Taking over of Gwadar Port by China is a blessing for the economy of Pakistan it
means that China has assured to develop hinterland infrastructure to link the port
with rest of the country. When the hinterland is developed it will have a great spill
over the economic activities that would be taken up by China for shipments of
goods to and from Western part of China which is comparatively less developed
when compared to Western China and China desires to develop its western part as
well for which it will be using our Gwadar Port”
Actually China needs Gwadar Port more than Pakistan to carry out its development
plans in the Western China which is far away from Eastern coast and transportation
of goods would be much costlier than what it would cost through Gwadar Port. So
far Western China is the most deprived part of that country because all the
industrial developments have been taken place in the Eastern part of China which
has well equipped import and export facilities. Even if the Chinese products
transport to its eastern part through Gwadar Port it will be cheaper in terms of
money and time consumption. So for the forthcoming industrialization in West of
China would be in need of Gwadar port for import and export purposes. Hence the
take over of Gwadar Port by China will generate a great deal of economic activity in
this part of the world and that would have a simultaneous spill over for the economic
growth of Pakistan.
China besides development of hinterland infrastructure around Gwadar will also be
developing motorways and have already developed a dry port at SUST border.
Chinese have also converted Shah Rahe Resham by making it a 40 ft wide motor
way which can two containers side by side for transportation. Apart from other
things the western part of China is much closer to the access of oil and gas from
Gwadar port, they can also lay a pipeline for conveying gas and oil from Gwadar
Port. This will generate employment and services sector in Pakistan and benefits to
the people of Pakistan especially in Baluchistan would be enormous and that would
be opening of prosperity to Baluchistan so far the most deprived province in the
country.
To carry out all these projects we need political stability, honest and dedicated
leadership having direction in their minds to develop Pakistan rather than working
for their own interests. There is a flow of economic benefits in Pakistan especially in
Baluchistan however this require capacity to explore and guide these economic flow
for the benefit of the country, therefore we need a leadership having capacity to
exploit plenty of economic resources to give a turn around to the economy of
Pakistan. Economy is flowing like water in Pakistan the only thing required to grab
this flow of economic opportunities.It is just like water if you would store the water
you will not develop dams, you will be at the losing end.This new elected
government is the turning point for the economy of the country.

All Day Increase in Balochistan’s fish production -- The Dawn
Balochistan's fish catch is increasing under the provincial government’s strategy to
meet growing domestic demand and export earnings.
In 2012, Balochistan produced 147,000 tonnes of fish and shell fish, up nine per
cent from 135,000 tonnes in 2011. Though it is the biggest-ever output, officials of
fisheries department say it is half the potential fish catch of 300,000 tonnes.
They attribute the increase in fish catch to more efficient employment of 7,000 plus
fishing boats, use of better fishing nets and hard work of fishermen.
Sea-cat fish, Hair-tail fish, Indian Mackerel, Sardines, Small Croaker and the most
sought-after Tuna are the main fish species found in Balochistan. In 2012 their
cumulative catch they made up about 50 per cent of the total fish production in the
province, according to officials.
They say that more than three dozen species of fish and shell fish including shrimp
and lobsters are netted in on regular basis from eight main landing sites along the
coastal areas including those of Gwadar and Pasni.
“Improved security and brisk operational activities at Gwadar Port by the new
government continue to facilitate fishing at these two sites,” says an official of
provincial fisheries department, adding that fish catch from there during the current
year is also on the rise.
In 2012, fish catch from Pasni and Gwadar was about 45 per cent of the total fish
production in Balochistan.
Industry sources say fishing activities at six other main landing sites (Damb,
Gaddani, Jiwani, Ormara, Pishukan and Surbandar) are also progressing well and
they hope that overall 2013 fish haul in the province would easily cross 155,000-
tonne mark. They say that about 10 per cent of total fish catch of Balochistan is
consumed within the province, another 10-20 per cent finds its way into Karachi’s
main fish markets and the remaining 70-80 per cent is exported.
Provincial authorities state that on the one hand they are taking measures to
enhance marine fish resource and on the other hand, they are also trying to
promote farm fish production, both through existing sources and by facilitating
establishment of new fish farms.
All of this is covered under a comprehensive medium-term plan for boosting fish
output. Sizable investment for both improving marine and inland fish catch would be
made available out of a $35.5 million Gwadar-Lasbela Livelihoods Support Project
being run with financial assistance from International Fund for Agriculture
Department.
Around 55,000-60,000 people in Balochistan are engaged in fishing, 60 per cent of

them on permanent basis, and sustaining their livelihood comes under the purview
of this programme. Besides, some other programmes aimed at enhancing fish
production funded by the provincial and federal government include construction of
fish landing jetties and harbour facilities at Damb, Jiwani, Pishukan and Surbandar.
Establishment of fish processing plant at Pasni is another project of this category.
With a coastline of 750km, marine fishing in Balochistan has eight main landing
sites, or the areas from where fish is caught, and 30 other smaller sites. Bulk of fish
catch is from marine resources and fresh water fish makes up just six per cent of
the overall fish production. Efforts are being made to increase production of fresh
water fish at small dams and open ponds of water.
Promotion of dedicated fish farms is another area where recently some enterprising
local people have made some investment and are waiting for the government
support. “We’ve been involved in fish farming in Balochistan for the last two, three
years,” says Murshid Ali, a Karachi-based businessman who runs multiple fish
1128
Mon
farms in Balochistan.
“I had set up the first farm with just half a million rupees. That’s the minimum
amount one needs to start this business,” he says, adding that the number of his
fish farms has now risen to three. He says half a dozen types of fishes are breeding
in his fish farms but laments that except for some technical help from the provincial
Fisheries Department, official support is lacking. Officials of Fisheries Department
say they are providing comprehensive knowledge and technical know-how to
intending fish farmers about the fish species that can be bred in fish farms,
environmental requirements conducive to their farming and typical meals for each
type of fish.
They stated that Pakistan needs to learn a few lessons in inland and farm fish
production from countries like India, Bangladesh and Myanmar where fish catch
has grown phenomenally in recent years. Exchange of visits of local fish farmers
and their counterparts in these countries can help promote fish farming in
Balochistan.
As compared to fresh water fish and farm fish, potential for production growth is
many times more in case of marine fish in Balochistan. Quick exploitation of this
potential is hitting snags primarily because of over-fishing by local fishermen without
any substantial increase in biomass or total fish stock.
Illegal and unreported fishing by large vessels that pass through Balochistan
coastline is another impediment. They say that temporary bans on fishing in
breeding season and faster efforts to keep fish-holding waters from being
contaminated are two policy responses for stock of fish to rise.
In order to stop foreign vessels from fishing illegally, international marine affairs
authorities are being invited to probe the issue and take corrective measures.
Marine fish catch can be improved by augmenting fishing boats, training fishermen
on best practices of maximising per-visit fish haul, improving on-boat preservation
of fish and investing in fishing nets and gears. All this requires financial resources.
Similarly, establishment of modern fishing farms, proper upkeep of seed fish,

manufacturing of fish meal and research on breeding techniques, all are money
matters.
“Part of that money is being arranged from international institutions and out of
annual development plans of the provincial and federal government,” says a senior
official of Balochistan’s Fisheries Department. “But a great part of it must come from
the private sector, chances for which are promising.”
Pakistan’s seafood exports rose 34 per cent to $85 million in Q1FY14. If the growth
trend is sustained, big profit-making fishing companies would likely invest in areas
like marine fish hauling and fish farming. —Mohiuddin Aazim

All Day Chinese firms offer Gwadar-Khunjrab rail link -- The Nations
LAHORE - Consortium of two leading Chinese construction companies, CREC and
Sinotec, has offered to construct strategic Gwadar-Khunjrab Rail Link at an
estimated cost of Rs250 billion including Rs160 billion for infrastructure and Rs90
billion for locomotives on electric traction basis in four years on soft term loan.
The offer was made on behalf of the Chinese companies Consortium by Mr. Song
Shuan Ping in a presentation before Railways Minister Khwaja Sa’ad Rafique in
Islamabad. The loan so offered can be professional loan, commercial loan or as a
grant and will be payable in seven years period.
Pointing out strategic importance of Gwadar –Khunjrab Rail Link, Mr Song Shuang
Song listed a number of benefits which would accrue both to Pakistan and China as
well as other countries of the region once the project is implemented and it

pointedly that the adoption of electric traction could provide electricity for train
lighting and air-conditioning and also to the railway stations for operational
purposes in this era of power shortage.
He said electric traction also had substantial financial benefits estimated to be

around Rs 32 billion per annum through saving on account of fuel and lube oil,
maintenance and overhauling, less staff required, elimination of power vans, non-
transportation of diesel oil, long life and short turn around time. Highly appreciating
the presentation and the offer of financial assistance to implement Gwadar-
Khunjrab Rail Link, Saad Rafique said, "China is a great time tested friend of
Pakistan and a number of Chinese companies are already working here in different
sectors.-PR

All Day JF-17 production with China’s support -- The News
The Pakistani security apparatus and allied engineers not only produced the JF-17
Thunder prototype in a record period of two-and-a-half years as against a period of
8-9 years taken in the advanced world on the first model of a combat aircraft, they
have also taken the Pakistani contribution in the avionics’ preparation to the
optimum level of 70 per cent of the Pak-China joint endeavour and to a satisfactory
figure of 58 per cent in the preparation of other essential components.
Talking to The News, Pakistani functionaries who had been working in commanding
positions in the manufacture of the JF-17 Thunder disclosed that China’s
cooperation has been efficiently reciprocated by Pakistani engineers and
technicians whose talent has been acknowledged by Chinese scientists.
Given the high level of this talent, the JF-17 Thunder aircraft can be easily
compared even with some highly efficient blocks/models of F-16 especially in the
area of avionics. Avionics in fact has enabled the JF-17 planes to acquire
considerable airpower edge over the adversary’s aircraft.
And in the area of acceleration forces that enable the aircraft to overcome the
gravitational pull, JF-17 is a G-8 plane as compared with F-16 that is a G-9 plane (G
denotes acceleration force applied against the Gravitational pull to lift the aircraft).
In this manner, JF-17 is no less capable and efficient an aircraft than many
advanced planes of the world.
While the credit for accomplishing this excellence goes primarily to the Chinese
friends, the role of Pakistani engineers, technicians and officials has been equally
remarkable as also acknowledged by the Chinese company Avic (China Aviation
Import-Export Corporation).
One of the prime factors that provided fresh impetus to JF-17 co-production was the
frequent visits of senior functionaries of PAF to different parts of the world to
procure international specifications, including those matching with first-class
American aviation standards that are rated as the best standards. It was due to
these exclusive efforts of PAF seniors or their frequent visits to countries having soft
corner for Pakistan that a G-8 aircraft was produced.
As for the difference between G-8 and G-9, that is only due to metallurgy in use of
both China and Pakistan. According to sources, producing a G-8 aircraft was not an
easy task too. For this purpose the PAF seniors also sought the technical
assistance of experts of a Middle Eastern country that is not much friendly with
Pakistan. That diplomatic overture of PAF did work well and the aircraft with many
capabilities no less than most of the modern warplanes of the contemporary world
came into production within a record, brief period of two to two-and-half years.
Chinese friends are happy over the vigorous input of Pakistani engineers and
functionaries that they say has resulted in a big success of international level with
export orders expected from many countries. Appreciation has been especially
expressed for Pakistanis’ fine diplomacy and specification-collecting skills.
When The News posed a question what hope the people of Pakistan should pin on
its pride co-production, JF-17 Thunder, the sources replied: “It is now one of the
best and most reliable combat planes of the world as, apart from the G-8 versus
G-9 factor, its radar range is 60 aeronautical miles which comes on a par with
advanced international standards. Moreover, JF-17 is equipped with a far more
advanced BVR system i.e. Beyond Visual Range system that gives it an edge over
the enemy aircraft which it can hit from a considerable distance and move far away
with full speed in a flash after firing the missile.

All Day Gwadar port: 49,387 tons of urea shipment arrives -- BR
First shipment of 49,387 tons of urea, imported by the state run grain trader, has
reached Gwadar port on Thursday. In October this year, the Economic Co-
ordination Committee (ECC), of the Cabinet,. directed Trading Corporation of
Pakistan (TCP) to import 0.5 million tons urea to ensure sufficient urea supply
during upcoming crop season.
Following the directives of ECC, TCP successfully awarded five tenders to the five
different parties for the import of 0.5 million tons of urea. First consignment under
this import has reached on December 5, 2013 from Oman, sources said.
As per schedule given by the supplier, the first ship namely "MV Bulk Costarica"
carrying about 49,387 tons of urea has berthed at Gwadar port. Another shipment
of 50,000 tons is scheduled to arrive on December 9/10, 2013.
Besides import of urea from international market, TCP is also importing commodity
from Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) against $100 million credit grant of
Saudi Fund for Development. Under the credit facility so far some 164,000 tons of
urea has reached Pakistan, while remaining quantity will arrive till December 2013.
It may be mentioned here that TCP is only responsible for import of urea, while its

All Day Foreign investors taking keen interest in Punjab -- The Nations
LAHORE - Efforts of Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif and the
Punjab government with regard to promotion of foreign investment in the province
have started yielding results. After the offer by Punjab Chief Minister Muhammad
Shahbaz Sharif to foreign investors for providing conducive atmosphere for
investment, investors of Turkey, China and Iran are taking keen interest in making
investment in various sectors.
Pak-China friendship and long term policy of cooperation of PML-N government
with China has also opened new avenues for Chinese investors in various sectors
including textile sector. Chinese Investment Institution Shandong Ruyi Technology
Group Company Limited has announced that it will purchase 52% controlling
shares of Masood Textile Mills Limited in Pakistan. Masood Textile Mills Limited is
the largest company of Pakistan with regard to exporting cotton yarn. Punjab Board
of Investment and Trade and Pak-China Bureau have played an important role with
regard to investment and sale and purchase of shares between both these
companies.
Due to the role of both these institutions of Punjab government, new avenues with
regard to investment by other foreign companies in textile sector will open.
A number of Chinese textiles companies have recently visited Pakistan with the
collaboration of China Textile and Apparel Council. Similarly, a representative
delegation of textile industry from Pakistan also visited China in October 2013 so
that cooperation in textile sectors between both the countries could be promoted.

All Day ANALYSTS SAY CHINA’S INVESTMENTS IN PAKISTAN ARE A
CHANCE TO BOOST TRADE AND GAIN A CHEAPER
WORKFORCE TO SATISFY DOMESTIC DEMAND. -- APP
Pakistan’s inauguration of construction on its largest nuclear power plant on Nov.
26 is the latest example of its increasing reliance on big-money Chinese
infrastructure projects.
Cash-strapped Pakistan, plagued by a bloody homegrown Taliban insurgency, is

battling to get its shaky economy back on track and solve a chronic energy crisis
that cripples industry. With its ties with the U.S. unpredictable and held hostage to
populist sentiment, Islamabad has sought Beijing’s help to fix some of these
problems. Chinese companies employing over 10,000 Chinese engineers and
workers are working on more than 100 major projects in energy, roads and
technology in Pakistan, according to officials, with an estimated $18 billion expected
to be invested in the coming years.
“Some projects are being done by the government, then most of the projects are
being done by the Chinese companies, by the provinces and also with the state
enterprises and authorities,” says Ahsan Iqbal, federal minister for planning and
development. “In the energy sector, Chinese engineers are building up to 15 power
projects that include hydel (hydroelectric), thermal and nuclear plants.”
Pakistan faces an electricity shortfall of around 4,000 megawatts in the summer,

leading to lengthy blackouts that make ordinary people’s lives a misery and have
strangled economic growth.
To combat the crisis, Pakistan has sought Chinese help in building power
generation projects, including nuclear, across the country. Aside from the 2,200 MW
project near Karachi launched by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Chinese companies
built two of Pakistan’s three operational reactors.
Chinese engineers are also busy constructing a 969 MW hydropower project in

Kashmir. They have also committed to generate 6,000 MW of electricity from coal
and wind in Sindh province.
But the cooperation goes beyond energy.
Visiting in May during his first overseas trip after taking office, Chinese Premier Li
Keqiang linked growth in his country’s restive west with that in Pakistan, saying the
two sides wanted to create an “economic corridor” to boost development. The
concept involves improving road and rail networks to link China through Pakistan to
the Arabian Sea and planning minister Iqbal said its benefits would extend to other
neighboring countries.
“The biggest flagship project is going to be the economic corridor. I hope with its
completion, we will be able to create opportunities not just for China and Pakistan
but for the entire region,” he said. “If the economic corridor is constructed, trade
between China and India can also take place from this corridor. Similarly, trade
between China and Central Asia and also between India and Central Asia can take
place,” Iqbal said.
In January the Pakistani cabinet approved the transfer of Gwadar port, strategically
located in Balochistan province, to a Chinese state-owned company. Once the road
network is improved, Gwadar will slash thousands of kilometers off the distance oil
and gas imports from Africa and the Middle East have to be transported to reach
China.
After six years of a bloody Taliban insurgency, and threat of expat workers being
kidnapped and beheaded by militants, many foreign firms are wary of investing in
Pakistan. Chinese engineers on construction sites are guarded at all times by
armed policemen, however, and are happy with their time in Pakistan.
“Pakistani people are very friendly with Chinese. That is why I am here since last
1139
Mon
three years and I will spend some more years over here,” said Wang Yanjun,
supervising a road-building project in Muzaffarabad, the main town in Pakistan-
administered Kashmir. “They provide respect and support to Chinese, so
cooperation between China and Pakistan is increasing. I think we will do much
more development projects in future than now.”
Wang Yanjun’s company China Xinjiang Beixin has already worked on projects in
Pakistan ranging from roads to airports.
Another engineer, Wang Songqiang of China International Water and Electric

Corporation, is looking after the construction of a shopping center in Muzaffarabad.
“Our company is working in 38 countries, but we have special feelings while
working here in Pakistan,” he said.
Pakistan and China presently have annual bilateral trade of around $12 billion and
are trying to take it to $15 billion in the next three years, though Iqbal said Sharif is
dreaming of doubling even this volume.
For China, investing in Pakistan’s crumbling infrastructure is a chance to boost

trade but also about using its southwestern neighbor’s workforce as it seeks to keep
prices down while satisfying growing domestic demand.
“Some industries are becoming very costly in China and their government feels they
can get cheaper labor in Pakistan for those factories, which includes electronics
and autos,” said Ahmed Rashid Malik, senior research fellow at the Institute of
Strategic Studies, Islamabad. “For that they need energy in Pakistan and investing
in Pakistan’s energy sector can prove beneficial for China in future.”
But there are dissenting voices, raising worries about possible corruption in the
somewhat opaque deals struck between Pakistani government departments and
provincial administrations and Chinese firms. “The capacity of Pakistani
bureaucracy and the issue of transparency in this whole development plan is a
source of concern for me,” said Senator Mushahid Hussain, chairman of the
Pakistan China Institute and a strong advocate of Pakistan-China friendship. “There
have been allegations of corruption against them in the past, so it’s a challenge for
us to utilize this opportunity which came to us through Chinese cooperation,” he
added.

All Day Pak, China relationship has glorious past, bright future -- Agence
France-Presse
SHANGHAI: Pakistan-China friendship has a glorious past as well as a bright future
and would continue to act as a stabilizing force for the entire region, said
Ambassador Masood Khalid here earlier Tuesday.
In his his keynote speech at the prestigious Fudan University in Shanghai on
'Pakistan's Foreign Policy with Special Reference to China', Ambassador Khalid
said Pakistan's relationship with China commanded a unique place in Pakistan's
foreign policy and strategic calculus.
Tracing the historic evolution of Pakistan's foreign policy, the Ambassador said
Pakistan had faced enormous challenges since its birth in 1947.
"It was a brand new country that had to develop its economy, industry and
government structures from scratch," Ambassador Khalid noted.
At the same time, Pakistan was a small country in a volatile region and faced with a
hostile neighbour many times bigger in its size in economic and military muscle.
This forced Pakistan to concentrate its energies and financial resources into
safeguarding its independence and territorial integrity. As a result, the quest for
security became an important driver of Pakistan's foreign policy and has continued
to shape the country's response to key foreign policy challenges throughout its
history.
Ambassador Khalid said another focus of Pakistan's foreign policy is on
complementing the country's economic and development agenda, adding that
Pakistan is a developing country strategically situated on the intersection of South,
West and Central Asia.
Pakistan, he said was blessed with a large number of young population and rich
natural resources. Despite severe security challenges in the region and periodic
natural calamities, Pakistan's economic growth has remained resilient.
Turning to Pakistan-China relations, Ambassador Khalid said Pakistan's unique,
win-win relationship with China has been vital in helping Pakistan meets its key
security and development challenges.
Beginning in 1950, when the world was still in the grip of the Cold War, the
friendship between Pakistan and China has grown from strength to strength.
He pointed out that Pakistan played a key role in restoring rightful seat of China in
the Security Council, besides acting as an intermediary in the secret diplomacy that
resulted in the historic Sino-U.S. rapprochement in 1971, which was perhaps the
most momentous foreign policy event of the past 50 years.
Over the years, cooperation between Pakistan and China has grown to cover a
range of areas of mutual interest, including defence, infrastructure development,
energy, education as well as multilateral areas, such as UN reforms and climate
change.
Ambassador Khalid said that, following Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's visit to China
in July, Pakistan and China had embarked on a historic mission to build a Pakistan-
1141
Tue
China Economic Corridor that would transform the region and act as a catalyst for
economic integration between China and South and Central Asia.
Ambassador Khalid said he was confident that relations between the two all-
weather friends would continue to flourish as Pakistan-China friendship enjoyed the
support of the ordinary people, especially the youth, of the two countries.

All Day China ready to finance Thar coal project: SECMC chief -- The Express
Tribune
ISLAMABAD:
As International Financial Institutions (IFIs) refuse to extend financing to develop
Thar coal reserves, China has offered to provide $900 million for mining and setting
up power plants, seeking a guarantee from the federal government in order to go
ahead with the offer.
This was stated by Shamsuddin A Shaikh, Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company
(SECMC) Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
He said that the SECMC required $1.2 billion for the Thar coal mining and power
projects, which no IFI was ready to extend due to environmental issues and
Pakistan’s credit history.
“China is the only country which is ready to extend financing but it wants a
guarantee from the federal government to list Thar coal among the top 3 to 4 priority
projects,” said Shaikh, adding that Chinese banks were ready to extend $900
million, out of which local banks would provide $300 million.
He demanded that the federal government list the Thar coal project as a priority to
secure financing from China. He further said that the government of Pakistan
should include the Thar coal project in the Pak-China Economic Corridor project.
He said that it is important that a conversion policy be made with incentives for use
of local coal to encourage the use of indigenous resources and save precious
foreign exchange.
“All new conversion projects based on imported coal should be subject to blending
with Thar coal at 20% at least to scale up mining at Thar,” he said.
He also asked that the power policy be amended to include Thar-based power
projects enabling the Private Power Infrastructure Board (PPIB) to issue the
requisite Letter of Intent (LOI) for Thar based plant.
Shaikh said that Pakistan’s power sector suffers from shortages as well as an
expensive energy mix. Pakistan’s effective power generation stands at 16,000 MW,
which is currently short by approximately 5,000 MW, and will worsen as power
requirements increase to 26,000 MW by 2020.
“Pakistan’s energy mix is neither sustainable nor affordable as approximately 40%
of power generation is dependent on imported fuel. It is, therefore, imperative to
curb our dependence on expensive imported fuel and develop indigenous
resources that can help provide energy security,” said Shaikh. “Import of coal is
very risky as its prices cannot be predicted, coupled with our currency devaluation
which would again take us back to the current unsustainable position.”
Contrary to general perception, Shaikh said, the quality of Thar lignite compares
favourably with other lignite being used around the world for power production.
“Among the four established quality measures of coal which are heating value,
sulphur, Ash and moisture content, Thar coal is superior in three quality aspects as
compared to lignite currently being used in Germany, India and Bulgaria for power
generation,” he added.
He said that the SECMC was a joint venture with the Sindh government, which
owns 51% of the share while SECMC owns 49%.
“Now, SECMC wants to keep 26% of the shares and Pakistan State Oil (PSO) will
get 23%,” Shaikh said.

All Day Gwadar-Kashghar Motorway to facilitate transit trade -- APP
ISLAMABAD: The tentative alignment for the Gwadar-Kashghar Motorway has
been cleared subject to feasibility studies containing commercial, technical and
hydraulic aspects of the project.
An official from Communications Ministry informed Thursday that the project would
facilitate transit trade in the country.
It would have economic zones en-route and allow reaping full benefits of
development including economic and social uplift and jobs creation in the country.
He said the corridor from Kashgar to Khunjerab and Gwadar would not be merely a
transportation link, but also energy and telecommunication corridor.
This project will also be a great help in regional connectivities, he said and added
passing primarily through hinterland it was expected to affect fast track
development of backward areas.
He said Pakistan would establish industrial parks and economic zones along the
proposed Kashghar-Gwadar trade corridor that would connect China’s western
autonomous regions with Balochistan.
As per the alignment Pak-China Motorway, the trade corridor will be around 2,000
kilometres long within the territory of Pakistan, crisscrossing snow-capped
mountains, narrow valleys, lush green fields, sand dunes and dry hills.
He said this new trade corridor would provide Chinese traders a link to deliver their
goods to the international markets through the Gwadar Port.
If compared with the Chinese ports, it was the shortest possible route to the western
provinces of China, the official added. app

All Day JF-17 strengthened Pak defence: PM Nawaz -- Geo News

KAMRA: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said Wednesday that the JF-17 aircraft had
strengthened Pakistan’s defence.
Addressing the rolling out ceremony of the 50th JF-17 Thunder aircraft at Pakistan
Aeronautical Complex, Prime Minister Sharif said the defence of the country
remained a top priority for the government.
Prime Minister Sharif added that the country’s defence strategy was being devised
keeping in view the contemporary professional requirements as no battle could be
won with outdated technology and discarded strategies.
“The new technology and modern expertise have transformed our defence into a
great force ... We want that our defence forces should be ever ready for any
contingency,”
The prime minister praised the role of the Pakistan Air Force and said the country's
skies were secure because of them.
Prime Minister Sharif said Pakistan and China were effectively translating their
friendly and brotherly relations into development projects for the mutual benefit of
their people. He mentioned the Pakistan China Economic Corridor project which
would link Gwadar to China through Khunjrab Pass and said that economic zones
would be set up along the Corridor. The project would have far reaching impact on
the future of both countries he added. Nawaz Sharif said cheap labour in Pakistan
would also contribute to the smooth materialization of projects with China.

policy is being formulated keeping in view the ground realities.
The Prime Minister termed production of JF-17 Thunder aircraft as a milestone in
the way of self reliance in the sector of defense production and promotion of the
Pak-China friendship.
He said Gwadar Port‚ Chashma Nuclear Power Project‚ Karakoram Highway are
the glaring precedents of the Pak-China friendship.
Nawaz Sharif said that the government will ensure fulfillment of the requirements of
the defence forces to make country's defense invincible.
Nawaz Sharif also formally inaugurated joint manufacturing of first aircraft of
Block-2 JF-17 thunder jet.
Pakistan and China also signed an agreement to establishing a joint marketing and

Pakistan in the recent years.
Regarded as a third-generation multipurpose combat jet, the JF-17 Thunder, in
technical terms, is known as FC-1 Fierce Dragon.
The PAF says, it is the only armed force across the globe to have developed its
own fighter jet aircraft. It says, the JF-17 can carry a variety of missiles and bombs,
including air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles.
It merits recalling here that PM Nawaz Sharif along with a delegation of PAC Kamra
had visited Turkish Aerospace Industries in September this year to witness

All Day China to assist NIO to determine gas hydrate potential -- The Nations
ISLAMABAD : National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) with technical assistance
from China, has initiated a project, under which seismic data acquired by different
oil and gas companies and other research institutions from offshore areas of
Makran will be processed to determine the gas hydrate potential. After initial
assessment of samples, NIO geologists are scheduled to conduct geological survey
of the Gwadar and adjoining area. NIO is planning a detailed oceanographic survey
of the area onboard Pakistan Navy’s survey vessel, officials at Ministry of Science
and Technology told APP, here.
NIO has prepared a Country Paper regarding the gas hydrate potential of Pakistan
offshore area, official said, adding NIO has already undertaken preliminary studies
of the island that emerged at Gwadar and extrusions off Basal River. The exact
location of the island that appeared after the earthquake on September 24,2013, is
West Bay of Gwadar.
Oficial said tests conducted by NIO confirmed the presence of methane gas that
was escaping into the air from a number of vents on the island,which is odourless
and inflammable. Giving details, official said , three earth extrusions also appeared
in the offshore area off Basel River Mouth towards the west of Ormara.
“Technically these extrusions cannot be called islands. Two of the three extrusions
remained under water, the third was slightly above the water level. No gas
emissions were observed from these three extrusions”.
He said the island that has recently emerged in the West Bay of Gwadar will be
washed away by the sea in a few months,after losing gas pressure, adding the
process has already started.
According to preliminary studies conducted by NIO, the Makran coastal belt has
extensive resources of gas hydrates which are frozen methane.
The methane is reported to be present at couple of hundred meters below the sea
floor. Many aspects of gas hydrates are being investigated worldwide to understand
their origin, their occurrence, the factors that affect their stability, and the possibility
of using this vast resource in the world energy mix. “However, gas hydrates
present both scientific and technological challenge, as they are yet to be tapped
commercially”, official added.

combat aircraft JF-17, which features upgraded avionics and weapons system.
The plane, to be called Block-II JF-17, will be manufactured at the Pakistan

Aeronautical Complex west of Islamabad, which has so far produced 50 older-
model Block-I JF-17s for the air force. The complex on Wednesday formally handed
over the 50th indigenously produced Block-I JF-17 Thunder aircraft to the air force
at a ceremony presided over by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The JF-17 Thunder
has been co-developed and co-produced with the China National Aero-technology
Import and Export Corporation.
"The indigenous manufacturing of JF-17s will not only lead to self-reliance and
industrialisation but will also further strengthen Pakistan's friendship with China,"
Nawaz told the ceremony. "The first Block-II JF-17 will be ready by June next year,"
chief project director Air Vice Marshal Javaid Ahmad told AFP. The Block-II will
have improved versions of avionics sub-systems, air-to-air refuelling capability,
additional weapons carriage capability and some extra operational capabilities.
Ahmad said several countries in Central Asia, South America and Africa had shown
interest in buying the new plane. The Pakistan Aeronautical Complex has the
capacity to roll out 16-25 aircraft per year.
While speaking on the occasion, Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Tahir
Rafique Butt highlighted the importance of JF-17 aircraft for the PAF. He said that
the aircraft had been designed to fulfil PAF's operational needs and its induction
would help PAF to replace its aging fleet of fighter aircraft. The air chief highlighted
the fact that there was close cooperation between the aviation industries of China
and PAC, and the JF-17 project was the strongest link in this context.

All Day Nigeria can meet energy needs of Pakistan: Envoy -- The Nations
LAHORE - President Mamnoon Hussain will visit Nigeria next month to cement
bilateral relations and boost cooperation between the two countries in many
sectors, especially energy, defence, agriculture and textiles, said Nigerian envoy to
Pakistan.
During the upcoming visit of President Mamnoon Hussain, high-level exchanges are
on the cards to explore opportunities for cooperation in energy, defence, civil
aviation, agriculture and textiles.
Nigerian Ambassador to Pakistan Dauda Danladi has said that large scope of
cooperation existed between Nigeria and Pakistan in the field of trade and
business.
Danladi, while responding to the queries of The Nation Editor Salim Bokhari and
Waqt TV Director News Hafiz Tariq, during his visit to Nawa-i-Waqt Group office
here on Saturday, said Pakistan and Nigeria shared commonalities in a number of
areas. The two countries are members of the UN, Commonwealth, OIC and D-8
and a number of Pakistanis have been working in Nigeria since 60s. He said
Nigeria is rich in oil and gas while Pakistan has a lot of expertise, particularly in
agriculture and textile sectors, and both the countries can mutually benefit from
each other. He said Nigeria was a thriving economy of Africa and wanted attention
of Pakistan which hitherto had paid much to Asia and Europe.
He said Pakistan needed energy and Nigeria can help it in a big way. The
ambassador also underscored the need for people-to-people contacts and contacts
at the level of chambers and business community not only for the sake of promoting
trade and business ties and to attract investment to each other but to counter the
negative narratives about this country as well.
He said before he took over in 2012, situation was not much good but in a year
much headway has been made in this direction. He said Nigeria is revolutionising
its agriculture to bring 79 milion acres of land under cultivation and Pakistan can
help a lot in this regard through machinery and know-how.
Similarly, he said Pakistan has also a big textile sector which can have share in the
Nigerian textile imports to the tune of $ eight billion a year. Danladi also invited
Pakistanis to invest in fertilizer sector of Nigeria which has vast reserves of gas,
adding Nigeria can not only meet the need of its own but also that of Pakistan and
Asia. He said Nigeria had set up export zones and a duty system to the benefit of
investors.
About the cooperation between the two countries on defence side, he termed it
appreciably encouraging and said their services chiefs had been exchanging visits
and Nigerian senior officers are passing out from the National Defence College,
Islamabad. He appreciated Pak-China manufactured JF-17 aircraft while
mentioning National Industrial Complex being built in Nigeria. To a question on the
‘negative narratives’ against Pakistan, the ambassador said they are somewhat
exaggerated as security problems confront every state at various degrees. He said
he visited chambers in various cities of Pakistan and went to Balochistan and other
parts, but nowhere found threats of security.
He mentioned the President of Pakistan’s visit to Nigeria in January 2014 and said
during that visit exchange of views are expected on establishing Business Forum,
PTA, besides signing of MoUs in different sectors and finding out means to promote
business ties at the government and individual businessmen level. He said Nigeria
which has vast manpower and natural resources has opened itself to the world and
Pakistan can also benefit from this opportunity.
Responding to a question on the law and order situation in Nigeria, he said today
the world had become a global village and added with reference to Afghanistan
situation that effect on one part inevitably reaches another. He said for Nigeria,
peace in Afghanistan is of vital import, so it also wants Pakistan to play a key role in
this regard. He said Nigerian government has adopted effective measures to keep
activities of the extremist parties under control. He said as an OPEC and African
Union member, Nigeria is pursuing the policy of respecting sovereignty of every
country and non-interference in the affairs of others. When asked if Nigeria also
faces the same US pressure as does Pakistan, he said in the name of human rights
violation or others, many face it directly or indirectly through the UN.
To a question on the US drone attacks on the Pakistan soil, he passed careful
remarks that this matter should be settled through negotiations and in an amicable
manner.

parliamentarians, local governments, think tanks, youth and media,” the
ambassador said. The envoy termed Sino-Pak cooperation in energy and
development sectors as top priority and hoped that exchange of experiences could
open new avenues for economic and social construction of both countries.
“Secondly, we should strengthen cooperation in all fields. We will take energy and
infrastructure cooperation as a top priority, push forward construction of the China-
Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), so as to promote economic development of
Pakistan and improving livelihood of Pakistani people,” he said, and pointed out that
bypass project of Attabad Lake of Karakorum Highway, the Gwadar Port East Bay
Motorway, the Reconstruction Project of Flood-Damaged Highway and China-
Pakistan Cross-Border Cable Project could be the ‘Early Harvest Projects’.
The ambassador said Chinese companies wanted to invest in the energy sector
and were willing to participate in water, thermal, solar, wind and civil nuclear power
generation projects. “We should make full use of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA)
and hold the second round of tax reduction negotiations on the second phase of the
FTA. We should deepen cooperation in the fields of defence, maritime, agriculture,
and law enforcement.” The ambassador said Pakistan and China need to promote
people-to-people exchanges. He announced that China will send one thousand
Chinese teachers to Pakistan in the next five years.
“We will continue to encourage youth delegations to exchange visits, invite more
Chinese cultural troupes to Pakistan. We are also planning to build up a cultural
centre in Pakistan,” the ambassador said. On regional and international affairs, the
ambassador said the two countries should push forward Afghanistan peace
process, support the SAARC cooperation process, maintain regional peace and
promote common development. The ambassador appreciated the Pakistani
government for its efforts to bring economic development and social stability.
“We are delighted to see reported 5% GDP growth rate in the first quarter of the
2013-2014 fiscal year and FDI rising to $340 million.” The ambassador hailed
Pakistan’s sacrifices in the fight against terrorism and urged the international
community to respect Pakistan’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and provide it
support on an ‘equal footing’. “China supports Pakistan in formulating and
implementing counter-terrorism strategies according to its own requirements. We
appreciate that measures have been taken by the Pakistani side to ensure the
safety of Chinese citizen and institutions.”
The ambassador said his government gives priority to the China-Pakistan relations,
while relations with China remain cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign policy. “It is
because the two peoples have nationwide consensus on being friendly to each
other,” he said.

All Day Pak-China nuclear cooperation under IAEA safeguards: Pakistan rejects
'smear' campaign -- APP
Pakistan on Thursday rejected smear campaign against Pakistan-China nuclear co-
operation and made it clear that the co-operation is exclusively for peaceful
purposes fully covered under IAEA safeguards.
Speaking at the weekly press briefing, Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam
said that Pakistan-China nuclear co-operation is in conformity with international
commitments of both parties. "Obviously we understand that there is campaign and
it is spearheaded by those who are themselves responsible for spreading nuclear
technology outside the NPT [Non-Proliferation Treaty] and IAEA [International
Atomic Energy Agency] mandates," she said.
She said that the co-operation helps Pakistan in overcoming shortages of electricity
and it serves the interest of the country, as nuclear energy is a part of our energy
mix. She pointed out that Pakistan has 40 years of experience in maintaining and
safeguarding its civilian nuclear power plants.
"They have been operated with safety and security. Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory
Authority (PNRA), an autonomous regulatory body, regulates the safety and
security of civilian nuclear materials and facilities," she said, adding that it works
closely with IAEA and benefits from the recommendations and guidance it receives
from the agency.
She said that Pakistan is party to the convention on nuclear safety as well as the
two international conventions of early notification and assistance. "We realise that
the expansion of nuclear power calls for a higher level of responsibility. We are
1161
Fri
cognisant of our responsibilities and are fully committed to ensuring safety and
security of these power plants that we acquire for nuclear energy," she said, adding
that Pakistan fully abide by the safeguards of IAEA.
On the recent US drone attack, she said, "Pakistan strongly condemns the attack in
Miranshah and these should be stopped," adding that these strikes are
counterproductive having human rights and humanitarian implications.
She said that drone strikes constitute dangerous precedent in inter-state relations
and have negative impact on government's efforts to bring peace and stability in the
country and in the region.
She said drone strikes are violation of Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity,
adding that Pakistan has been raising its concern over drone strikes with the US
administration and at the UN.
To a question, she said the use of technology to kill even high-value target was not
justified, if it is violation of the international law and results in killing of innocent
civilians. "Militants are in many other places not just in tribal areas of Pakistan.
Generally the concept is that any technology is not worthy of use if in the process of
killing five militants it kills one innocent human being...that's the cost of the
technology," she added.
She added that using a method which is fundamentally flawed and illegal even for a
positive purpose cannot be justified. "Therefore, this is not our policy that if some
high-value target is killed, we would show leniency against such attacks," she made
it clear.
She said steps are being taken to build international consensus‚ which exists now
and is getting strong to bring about a change in this policy, adding that Pakistan
would be tabling a resolution against drones in the UN Human Rights Council in
Geneva.
About Pakistan's relationship with the US following withdrawal of troops from

Afghanistan‚ she said that the relationship between the two countries was
diversified and not a single specific.
She said the two countries are already engaged in co-operation in

defence‚ economic‚ power and educational fields and this co-operation would
continue. However, she said that it was not clear about the US presence in
Afghanistan following 2014, adding that the kind of Pak-US collaboration in this
regard would depend on events in Afghanistan and the kind of US presence in that
country.
Commenting on the recent verdict of the International Court of Arbitration in Kishan

Ganga dispute‚ she said the court has upheld its earlier decision prohibiting
depletion below dead storage level as a general principle on run of the river
projects. Without going into the controversy of claiming victory or loss on the issue,
she said that there is a need to implement the decision in letter and spirit.
She also welcomed Indian External Affairs Minister's statement that there was no
option but talks between Pakistan and India. She pointed out that the only way
forward to resolve the outstanding issues between the two countries is dialogue and
resolution of these issues is only way to establish durable peace in the region.
Responding a question, she said a number of Pakistani prisoners are languishing in

Indian jails and once they complete their sentences, they are being sentenced in
some other cases. "That's why people are languishing in Indian jails for long times.
This is a humanitarian issue on both sides because nobody should be punished for
a crime longer than what he deserves," she added.
She confirmed that Pakistan Minister of State for Commerce will have a meeting
with Indian Commerce Minister on the sidelines of a SAARC meeting in New Delhi
next month. They would review the roadmap that was agreed upon by commerce
1162
Fri
secretaries of the two countries in September 2012 for trade liberalisation, but the
process was disrupted as the composite dialogue process was stalled, she added.
About DGMOs' meeting, she said that the meeting was a very positive step forward
and the two sides have agreed on the need to maintain peace and tranquility on the
Line of Control (LoC) and to stay in touch with each other so that incidents and
situations are not allowed to blow up and controlled at the local level.
She said that Pakistan and India have agreed on a mechanism for travels between
the two parts of Kashmir, adding that there are crossing points and the bus service.
"We do not consider movement of Kashmiris as illegal. But there are smugglers and
drug traffickers. Trans-national crimes is an issue and states have to work together
to stop that," she added.

All Day ‘Pak, China share decades old cooperation in energy sector’ -- BR
BEIJING: Federal Minister for Water and Power Khawaja Muhammad Asif said on
Tuesday Pakistan and China shared decades old cooperation in energy sector and
several projects between the two countries illustrated their close cooperation. He
was addressing the two-day 3rd Pakistan-China Joint Energy Working Group and
the 1st Energy Working Group meeting of Pakistan-China Economic Corridor here.
The meeting was presided over jointly by Chinese Executive Administrator of
National Energy Administration (NEA) Shi Yubo and Khuwaja Muhammad Asif.
The minister expressed the confidence that joint efforts would lead to creation of
even greater linkages and inter-dependence for mutual benefits in energy and
power sectors and thereby contribute towards further strengthening of Pakistan-
China friendship. He said following the visit of the Premiers of both countries, and in
line with the vision of the economic corridor, the energy working group meeting
further added to the economic and energy cooperation.
He said that Pakistan at present needed construction of critical infrastructure in
power generation and laying of a network of new transmission lines system as well
as up-gradation of the existing obsolete network.
He pointed out that several projects had been identified for collaboration between
the two countries aimed at power generation and transmission in addition to the
existing projects.
The minister said in this regard, Pakistan wanted to take benefit of Chinese
companies, who were blessed with requisite experience in power generation and
transmission sectors. The governments of the two countries are determined to
create conducive environment for investors to collaborate for mutual benefit and
setting up of Pak-China Economic Corridor is the right step in this connection, he
noted.
The minister said there was a realization to shift the proportion of Pakistan's energy
mix towards cost-effective and affordable fuel resources.
He said Pakistan was endowed with abundant energy resources and had one of the
largest indigenous coal energy reserves. Mining and power plants were being set
up to tap the resource.
Highlighting the generation of low cost electricity, the minister said Pakistan offered
immense potential for coal based power generation, hydro and renewable resource
power generation in different parts of the country, including Gilgit-Baltistan
bordering China.
He said the government had approved an ambitious project for the construction of
6600 MW Power Park at Gaddani. Chinese investment is welcome in coal-based
power plants as well as construction of jetty and infrastructure there, he noted. He
said Pakistan had already signed an MoU (memorandum of understanding)
yesterday with Gezhouba Group for setting up 660 MW power plant in Gaddani.
Pakistan intends to build massive power infrastructure, including transmission lines
and grid stations to evacuate power from the new power projects, he said adding
that investment from Chinese friends was being sought not only for the new power
projects but even for the existing transmission up-gradating.
This will also help overcome the problem of transmission losses, he added.
The miister said said he was excited about Pakistan-China Energy Corridor, and
wanted to share with the Chinese friends the advantages emerging from its
strategic position as Pakistan being located on the cross-road of Central Asia,
South Asia, West Asia and China.
He looked forward to investment especially in the planned Solar Power Park in
province of Punjab. He pointed out that some of Chinese companies were keenly
interested in these projects. He said the Chinese side could assist Pakistan in
mapping its landscape for renewable energy, particularly wind power. In addition,
construction of coal-based power pants also in Punjab, apart from other parts of the
country was also being looked at, he added.
Appreciating presentations made by both sides on energy policy planning, power
and renewable energy, the minister said their input was very valuable for
formulating energy strategy.
He said, "We have abundant resources for alternative energy in Pakistan. Besides,
huge coal deposits of 175 billion tons, that can be used for generation of low cost
electricity."

All Day Pak China nuclear deal will help Pakistan in mitigating power shortage --
The Nations
A Chinese scholar, welcoming the Pak-China nuclear cooperation said it would
help mitigate Pakistan’s energy shortage besides deepening bilateral strategic
partnership between the two countries. Defending strongly the civil nuclear
cooperation between Pakistan and China, the executive director of the Pakistan
Study Center at Sichuan University, Chen Jidong, in daily Global Times writes that
in late December China has committed to extend a loan of $6.5 billion for the
construction of a major nuclear power project in Karachi, The China National
Nuclear Corporation also promised to finance the project with two reactors of 1,100
megawatts capacity each. Each of the two will be larger than the combined power
of all operating reactors in Pakistan now, according to Chairman of the Pakistan
Atomic Energy Commission Ansar Parvez.
He said a number of joint declarations signed by the two countries have shown their
plans for civilian nuclear cooperation. By aiding Pakistan through civilian nuclear
programs, Chinese nuclear companies can secure more business deals with
Pakistan to help Islamabad in meeting the demands for civilian use of nuclear
power.
Nonetheless, both the US and India showed concerns that the cooperation between
China and Pakistan is aimed at the civilian nuclear deal sealed between the US and
India during the George W. Bush administration. They also expressed worries over
Pakistan’s history of nuclear proliferation.
These concerns are nothing but obstruction in nuclear cooperation between Beijing
and Islamabad. If people worry such cooperation may turn to military uses, then the
cooperation between the US and India should also generate the same concerns, he
argued.
As far as selling nuclear technology to other countries is concerned, the
international community has acknowledged that it was the conduct of an individual
Pakistani rather than that of the Pakistani government, he said.
The government still has the right to the peaceful civilian use of nuclear power.
Currently, the military and civilian nuclear programs in Pakistan are under strict
control and are safe, or else China would not have cooperated with it.
The Taliban do pose a threat to the country’s security, but they are far from
acquiring the capability to take over Pakistan’s nuclear assets, the scholar said.
He said that US does not have a favorable relationship with the Muslim world. For
the past decade, the US has been involved in conflicts with Muslim countries such
as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and most recently with Syria.
Therefore, the US-led West worries that in case any nuclear materials fall into the
hands of the terrorists, it will be exposed to danger. But this is only an excuse that
the West makes up so as to intervene or even control the use of nuclear power in
Pakistan, the only Muslim country to have nuclear weapons.
In developing civilian nuclear cooperation with Pakistan, China has in fact
downplayed these Western concerns and taken into the consideration the whole
picture of South Asia.
One complexity of the situation in South Asia is that the two major countries, India
and Pakistan, do not share friendly relations. So when India expresses its concerns
over Pakistan’s civilian nuclear cooperation with China, China understands it and
responds to its inquiries, saying the cooperation was for peaceful purposes and
subject to the safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
China and India have also talked about potential for bilateral cooperation on civilian
nuclear usage for several years, although the discussions have always been stuck
at the initial stage. Some factors determine the process, such as mutual trust
between China and India, but at least so far, China’s diplomatic gestures show it is
willing to make efforts toward this goal.
China takes a balanced and pragmatic approach when developing ties with both
Pakistan and India, said Chen Jidong.

All Day Gwadar Port: Senate panel for settling land issue with Chinese company
-- BR
The Senate Standing Committee on Ports and Shipping on Monday underlined the
need to resolve the issue of handing over 84 acres of land to the Chinese company
as well as complete all the transportation links to make Gwadar Port operational.
The meeting presided over by Senator Fateh Muhammad Hassani also
recommended to settle the issue before the Chinese company starts operation at
Gwadar Port.
The committee also expressed concern when it was informed that the Finance
Ministry has rejected a summary moved by Chairman Gwadar Port seeking Rs 1.5
billion to purchase dredges for Port Authority. The committee urged the government
to provide Rs 1.5 billion Gwadar Port Authority. The committee was also informed
that an amount of Rs 400 million would be required to purchase alternate land in
case of any objection by investor against 85 acres of land now with Pakistan Navy.
The meeting directed National Highway Authority (NHA) to complete N-85 and M-8
to connect the highways of Sindh, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and all the districts
of Balochistan with the port. The meeting was informed that a cell has been set up
at the Prime Minister Secretariat to facilitate Chinese companies and investors and
a ministerial level meeting of the two countries is scheduled to take place in Beijing
in the current month and the Frontier Works Organisation (FWO) has already
started work.
The chairman of the committee said as has been recommended by the sub-
committee Pakistan Navy should hand over 500 acres land immediately to Gwadar
Port Authority (GPA) and federal government should take possession of remaining
84 acres. The sub-committee had recommended Pakistan Navy to hand over 500
acres land immediately to Gwadar Port Authority (GPA) for setting up of free zone
while federal government would take the possession of remaining 84 acres. The
sub committee had further proposed that the Balochistan Board of Revenue (BBR)
should arrange alternate 1,000 acres of land for Pakistan Navy against 500 acres,
for which Port and Shipping Ministry would arrange finance.

All Day Nuclear power generation will help revive Pak: Global Times -- APP
BEIJING, Jan 15 (APP): China’s financial offer for construction of two nuclear power
plants in Karachi will help revive Pakistan’s dwindling economy that would help in
job generation, fast infrastructural growth and mitigate social unrest. According to
an article published here in influential daily Global Times, Pakistan has long been
plagued by a severe power shortage and ensuing social unrest. The Pakistani
government views nuclear energy development as a favourable long-term power
generation plan, as its economy is at a critical growth stage due to prolonged load
shedding.
China in late December committed to provide at least $6.5 billion for Pakistan’s
construction of a nuclear power plant in Karachi. China National Nuclear
Corporation will provide the loan to construct twin nuclear reactors that are
scheduled to be completed in 2019. China’s assistance for the nuclear power
project in Karachi will also help guarantee its own energy security. In turn,
Pakistan’s economic growth will also be helpful to China, the writer argued in his
article.
Adjacent to the Persian Gulf, Pakistan serves as a mouth for China to import
resources, notably petroleum and natural gas, from Iran and Iraq, said the article
based on an interview from Yang Cuibai, professor with the School of Law at
Sichuan University.
In February 2013, the China Overseas Port Holding Company took over the
operation of the Port of Gwadar, the vicinity of which is home to approximately two-
thirds of the world’s oil reserves.
It is no surprise that the Pak-China nuclear power cooperation caused unease in
US and India, who have cooperated on nuclear issues for the last several years.
But the deal is a win-win situation that helps meet Pakistan’s energy demand and
boost economic and social development while strengthening the bilateral ties.
Pakistan heavily depends on hydropower, but water level is subject to variations
from time to time, especially in winter. Therefore hydropower is not as reliable as
nuclear energy.
From political and diplomatic perspectives, Pakistan serves as a bridgehead for
China to further develop friendly ties with West Asian and North African nations as
well as regions suited on the Indian Ocean.
A politically stable Pakistan will help ensure the safety of the world’s second largest
economy, China, whose interests could otherwise fall victim to the terrorism
rampant across West Asia.
Pakistan has a population of nearly 200 million on its small territory and an alarming
population growth rate, imposing crushing burden on its already lagging economy.
The whole of akistan has an electricity demand of about 16,500 megawatts while
the power supply is only 12,000 to 13,000 megawatts.
Poverty, high unemployment rate, violent crime, religious unrest and a wide
spectrum of other social issues can partly be attributed to chronic blackouts.
Those living in extreme poverty or who remain unemployed are a potential target of
terrorist recruitment. Being properly hooked up to the power grid is a precursor for
modern education and employment.
To begin with, there is a huge influx of investment from Chinese enterprises in
Pakistan and its neighboring Afghanistan and Iran.
Furthermore, the development of the Silk Road economic belt and the 21st century
maritime Silk Road proposed by China will greatly benefit from China’s intimate
cooperation with Pakistan as the traditional Silk Road passed through the northern
area of the country.

ISLAMABAD, Jan 19 (APP): Pakistan and Morocco on Sunday agreed to give
priority to boosting trade and commercial cooperation by finalizing Preferential
Trade Agreement between the two countries at an early date. This was agreed in a
meeting between Advisor to Prime Minister Sartaj Aziz and Foreign Minister of
Morocco Salahuddin Mizwar which was held on the sidelines of the 20th Session of
OIC’s Alquds Committee convened in this ancient Moroccan town. The two sides
decided to call the second session of their Joint Ministerial Commission in April in
Pakistan for which the Moroccan Foreign Minister will visit Pakistan.
Pak-Morocco Joint Business Council will also be revived. Aziz said that a forward
move in negotiations for a Pak-Morocco PTA, stalled since 2008, was imperative if
the bilateral trade was to be enhanced which at present was in Morocco’s favour.
The two sides also agreed to facilitate issue of business visas and increase
exchange of business delegations to improve their commercial cooperation in
addition to exploring extra means of doing this.
Mizwar said that Morocco was a completely open market and would welcome
increased business cooperation particularly with the brotherly Islamic nation of
Pakistan.

be reflected in economic and commercial cooperation. Aziz said that the people of
Pakistan look forward to welcome King Mohammad VI, under whom the Kingdom
has made enviable progress in all fields.
Frequency of bilateral visits on other levels should also be increased. Mizwar

All Day China reveals its cards for investing $20 billion in Pakistan -- The News
ISLAMABAD: China is demanding that all mega power projects, including the
Bhasha Dam, Gaddani and Lakhra coal plants, the Tarbela Extension project and
many transmission lines, be handed over to China without any international bidding
process, and Beijing will directly invest $22 billion in Pakistan.
The Nawaz Sharif government is eager to accept this huge Chinese offe, and a
loophole in the PPRA rules is being used to hand over all these mega projects to
China.
“Beijing will extend the preferential and medium term soft loans of $22 billion to
Pakistan against the guarantees of the government of Pakistan”, a senior official
who was part of the recent meeting of the Pak-China Joint Working Group (JWG)
held on January 7-8 in Beijing told The News.
“We have carved out a plan to capitalise on the opportunity that Beijing has
extended to Pakistan. Under the plan, Chinese companies will be offered the coal
and hydropower and huge transmission line projects under a direct contracting
regime which is not against the PPRA rules,” the official said.
The Ministry of Water and Power has already sent a summary to the Law Division
for vetting. The vetted summary allowing the mechanism ofadoptingthe direct
contracting regime will then be sent to the Ministry of Finance for a final nod. In
case of no objection, the projects will be given to the Chinese companies.
The Chinese companies have, the official said, refused to take part in international
competitive bidding (ICB) to get the contracts in Pakistan’s power sector arguing if
Pakistan wants funding from Beijing for various projects, then it will also have to
hand over the projects.
Top officials in the power ministry have found a way out of introducing a direct
contracting regime, which is permissible in the PPRA rules, to accommodate the
desire of Chinese companies.
In the Joint Working Group meeting held in Beijing an 18-member Pakistan

delegation took part. The meeting was co-chaired by Wu Xinxiong, of the Energy
Administration (NEA) of China and Khawaja Muhammad Asif, Federal Minister for
Water and Power.
Beijing offered the huge credit line based on insurance to promote and sustain the
development of Chinese energy projects in Pakistan.
During the recent visit to China, the Three Gorges Corporation extended an offer for
100 percent funding for Pakistan’s most strategic project, the Diamer-Bhasha Dam,
worth $11.8 billion that will have a capacity to store 8 million acre feet of water and
generate 4,500 MW of electricity. The Chinese company said it will provide the
whole funding but the project should be handed over to it without holding any
International Competitive Bidding (ICB).
The said company showed its willingness to immediately release $5 billion to

Pakistan for the Diamer-Bhasha Dam so that it could start constructing the
dam.China has also offered to install the coal power project of 660 MW in Gaddani
and 2x600 MW coal based projects in Thar and 2x600 MW coal based project in
Lakhra.
Pakistan needs almost $16 billion investment to develop the Power Park of 600 MW
in Gaddani with jetting and a transmission line. China has also offered to provide $4
billion for evacuation of 6,600 MW through the transmission line, but it demanded
the handing over of the project of transmission lines.
China also offered $700 million for the Tarbela extension V project which if
completed will provide 1,400 MW electricity at cheaper rates. The Tarbela
Extension IV project of 1,400 MW is already under way and will be completed by

All Day Gwadar-Kashghar route: JCC to meet next week at Beijing to finalise
modalities -- Business Recorder
The Joint Co-operation Committee (JCC) of Pak-China Economic Corridor would
meet in the second week of the current month in Beijing (China) to finalise the
modalities for making Gwadar-Kashghar route operational, said chairman National
Highway Authority (NHA) Shahid Ashraf Tarar.
"China is going to invest billions of dollars in the project, accordingly they have big
say in the designing of the project," said NHA Chairman while briefing the Senate
Standing Committee on Communications, which met with Daud Khan Achakzai in
the chair here on Thursday.
The committee expressed serious concerns over the re-designing of Gwadar-

Kashghar route, saying that major cities of Balochistan including Quetta and Zhob
had been excluded from the route, while the most disturbed areas of the province
had been made part of the route after redesigning. Committee member Zahid Khan
also raised objections over the design of the route, saying Peshawar had been
excluded while Islamabad and Hawailian would be linked to the route, which was
not justifiable.
Chairman NHA informed the committee that China was focusing on three points
including utilisation of existing tracks to make the project operational at the earliest.
They also wanted to seek the shortest possible way, besides connecting more
economic zones, Tarrar added. Senator Kamil Ali Agha said construction of new
route would be no more than 18-20 percent and the existing roads would be
upgraded under the project. However, the project should be completed in the best
interest of the country as no neighbours are happy with the project.
The Committee recommended that Chinese authorities should be informed that law
and order on the proposed route was not good, therefore other road should be
utilised covering most populated areas with good economic opportunities like
Quetta. Chairman NHA informed that the concerned authorities would be apprised
of the Committee recommendation; however China, the main investor was firm on
its design and stance while Pakistan had little to say in that regard.
Tarrar further said the federal government had earmarked Rs 12 billion in the Public
Sector Development Programme for 2013-14 for Balochistan, of which Rs 3.4 billion
have so far been released. The committee expressed annoyance over the non-
implementation of its recommendations regarding the promotion of NHA officers
which was due since long. The Ministry informed that there was a status quo in
promotion order of officers/officials issued by Islamabad High Court in writ petition
filed by Tanveer Ishaq on April 3, 2013. Altamash Khan, GM (Engineer BS 20) has
also filed a writ petition before IHC for promotion, but the matter is still sub-judice.
On the stay application of the officers'' concerned filed with the main petition, the
High Court has passed restraining order dated October 1, 2013.
The committee members observed that the promotion to the deserving officers
should be given immediately, as it was their due rights, they are waiting since long.
Minister of State Parliamentary Affairs Sheikh Aftab Ahmad assured the committee
to resolve the issue soon and the committee would be apprised in this regard.

Beijing: Ahead of his first visit to China, Pakistan President Mamnoon Hussain on
Sunday hoped to speed up implementation of bilateral agreements on energy
cooperation besides the economic corridor through PoK, a project which has raised
concern in India.
Hussain hoped to reach consensus with China to accelerate the projects relating
to?energy in order to overcome power shortage.
"The people of Pakistan will be grateful to Chinese people and government for their
help in energy sector," Hussain told the Chinese media in Islamabad ahead of his
three-day visit to the country starting from February 18.
Hussain hoped that the execution of the Pakistan-China Economic Corridor (PCEC)
which is to be built from China's Xinjiang province to Pakistan's Gwadar Port should
also be accelerated.
"The project is going to be a monument of the century," state-run Xinhua news

agency quoted Hussain as saying.

billions of people, he said.
The second meeting of the Joint Cooperation Committee (JCC) of the PCEC will be
held on February 18 coinciding with the visit of Hussain to finalise the
implementation of mutually agreed projects.
PCEC, which will run through a 200-km tunnel, has raised concerns in India as it is
planned though the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK).
Besides the PCEC, China has recently extended USD 6.5 billion assistance to
Pakistan to help to build two 1100 mw nuclear power plants with Chinese
technology.
China's nuclear technology transfer to Pakistan drew flak from the US and India as
it is being done without obtaining the approval from the Nuclear Suppliers Group
(NSG) as done by India under the India-US nuclear accord.
China asserts that it is done under the safeguards of International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA).
Chinese Foreign Ministry said China would accord "high and top priority" to
Hussain's visit.
During his visit, Hussain would hold talks with President Xi Jinping and other
Chinese leaders.
Hussain said China is Pakistan's really best friend and Pakistan always stands by
China, adding that the relations between the two countries stood the test of time.

All Day Gwadar port: China approves nine projects worth $1.8 billion, Senate
body told -- Business Recorder
China has approved nine projects worth $1.8 billion in a bid to fully develop Gwadar
port, which will be completed in next 2-3 years, said chairman Gwadar Port
Authority (GPA) Dostain Khan Jamaldini. China has prepared its master plan for
Gwadar port where five companies are ready to invest, however all these would be
possible on handing over the remaining free zone area of the port, said chairman
GPA while briefing the senate standing committee on Ports and Shipping after his
return from China while attending the 2nd meeting of the Joint Co-operation
Committee (JCC) of Pak-China Economic Corridor, held in Beijing (China).
The committee, which met with Sardar Fateh Muhammad Hassani in the chair, was
informed that in the light of decision taken in the meeting of Senate Standing
Committee on Ports & Shipping held on December 19, 2013, the total area of land
and its cost in Pishukan have been worked out again by Commissioner Makran
Division, the Government of Balochistan as per the prevailing market value. The
PC-I has been initiated by Gwadar Port Authority through the Ministry of Ports &
Shipping for the approval of the Planning Commission along with allocation of funds
from the PSDP in the fiscal year 2013-14 amounting Rs 474.87 million, the
chairman GPA added.
A summary has also been submitted to the Prime Minister's office for approval of
the recommendations made by the Senate Standing Committee held on January
13, 2014 seeking his approval for handing over the remaining land at Gwadar port.
The chairman GPA further informed the committee that a decision was made by
Economic Co-ordination Committee (ECC) on December 2, 2008 for importing
wheat, fertilizer and coal through Gwadar port. Regrettably, the decision was not
fully implemented by Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP). During last 5-6 years,
not a single ship carrying wheat and coal has been routed through Gwadar Port.
Further a significant share of fertilizer is being imported through KPT/PQA; The
ECC in its meeting held on August 23, 2011 also took serious note on breach of its
earlier decision.
It was further revealed that total cargo imported through Gwadar Port including total
wheat imported via 26 ships was 963,609.140 tons, urea imported via 136 ships
4,800,483.956 tons and total wheat & urea 162 ships 5,764,093.096 tons. However,
the committee expressed serious reservations over the ECC decision about the
reducing share of Gwadar port in handling the imported urea, saying that if the port
is not fully operated by extending all road and railways links and required land, how
it would be developed. The committee also expressed serious concern over the
absence of Chairman Trading Corporation of Pakistan (TCP) from the meeting and
directed him to ensure his presence in the next meeting. The committee was
informed that cranes worth million dollars are becoming outdated, as no commercial
ship arrived the port since it was made operational.
Gwadar Port Authority has made its stance clear that all ships importing wheat,
fertiliser and coal may be diverted to Gwadar Deep sea port as already directed by
Economic Co-ordination Committee (ECC). Full operationalisation of Gwadar port
has been hampered as the ECC decision was not implemented, therefore, the
Government of Pakistan may implement the ECC decision, the chairman GPA
added. Expressing serious annoyance over the absence of Secretary Water and
Power, the committee moved privilege motion against him and sent his case to
privilege committee.

details of Ministry of Port of Shipping and its attached departments' budgetary
proposals for Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) for the fiscal year

allocate Rs 10 billion for Gwadar Port in next fiscal year's PSDP.
Dostain Khan Jamaldini, Chairman Gwadar Port Authority, informed the committee
that the Port had not yet been made fully operational owing to different reasons
especially due to the ongoing unrest in Balochistan province and financial crunch.
He said that since 2007, 5.6 million tons of different goods had been handled at the
Port and two ships carrying different goods were docking at the Port every month.
He said that Government of Pakistani and the Chinese firm, responsible for

the lack of energy for poor in South Asia as one of the foremost challenges facing
humanity. He said that out of 1.6 billion people living in South Asia today, nearly
800 million people lack access to electricity.
The UN Secretary General’s Advisor on Energy, Ms. Elizabeth Thompson
underlined that need for ensuring that an international framework should not work in
silos but rather forge key linkages with other sectors such a health, water, food and
women empowerment.
The Norwegian Ambassador, Geir Pederson and Denmark’s Ambassador, Ib
Peterson lauded Pakistan’s strong and constructive engagement in pushing for
such an international framework and extended his government’s support in this
endeavor.
Last year, Prime Minister Mohammed Nawaz Sharif, during his visit to New York in
September, held a trilateral meeting with his Norwegian Counterpart, Jen Jens
Stoltenberg and the Minister for Development Co-operation of Denmark, Christian
Friis Bach.
The three leaders agreed to push for an international framework on energy which
will not only provide assistance to energy starved countries, mobilize the private
sector but also deal with the challenge of climate change by doubling the share of

All Day 22,000MW of electricity to be added within 7 years: Iqbal -- The Express
Tribune
LAHORE: The government has signed energy generation projects with China
through which 22,000 megawatts (MW) of energy will be added to the system in the
coming five to seven years, said Federal Minister for Planning and Development
Ahsan Iqbal.
The country’s total energy production is 22,000MW, with the same amount being
added to the grid in this time span, Iqbal said, while speaking at the International
Marketing Congress (Marcon).
The government is focused on overcoming the development lag of the last 14
years, he said, adding that the government was turning towards China as its
Foreign Direct Investment was very low in the context of the relations the two
countries enjoy.
To strengthen economic cooperation, Pakistan has signed an agreement for the
development of the Karakoram Highway, construction of six lane Mansehra-
Islamabad and Lahore-Karachi Motorways. Through this, the country will be
connected to the North-South corridor. Construction of a modern Airport in Gwadar,
linking of the Gwadar deep sea port to the northern part of the country is also part of
the plan. Through this, Pakistan will become a connecting bridge for the North-
South and East-West regions and play a pivotal role in regional connectivity and
development, Iqbal said.
Development in Gwadar and the Gadani coal generation project will start a new era
of prosperity and economic development in Balochistan, said Iqbal, adding that the
Thar Coal power generation project will change the fate of the people of Sindh.
Iqbal said that the government’s vision is to bring about an industrial revolution in
Sindh through Thar coal as reserves there could generate electricity for the next
200 years.
Poverty, unemployment, law and order issue, hopelessness is the main tides faced
by the government and we are committed to turn these tides during the next five
years, he stated.
Iqbal believed that Pakistan has been run on the ‘sale paradigm’ and the time had
come to shift to the ‘marketing paradigm’. The government is focused on producing
and exporting items which were in line with international market requirements, Iqbal
said.
All Day China to invest $50 billion in energy, infrastructure projects till 2017 -- BR
China is to invest $50 billion in energy and infrastructure projects in Pakistan till
2017 of which $35 billion investment is anticipated in energy sector. This was
disclosed by the Minister for Planning, Development and Reforms, Ahsan Iqbal at a
recent meeting of federal cabinet, presided over by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. In
the anticipation of massive investment from China, the government has decided to
assign army for the security of Chinese workers in Pakistan.
Official documents available with Business Recorder reveal that the prime minister
stated that the infrastructure projects included Lahore-Karachi Motorway, the
Karakorum Highway and expanding the capacity of Gawadar Port. In the
transportation sector, the railway line from Peshawar to Karachi would be
modernised and upgraded. In the energy sector, ten projects had been approved in
Gadani (Balochistan) and six in Thar (Sindh).
The prime minister informed the cabinet that during the last eight months, Foreign
Direct Investment (FDI) had doubled. China has agreed to invest $4.5 billion each
year in Pakistan for the next seven years. This investment of $31.5 billion by one
country is unprecedented in the history of Pakistan. According to the prime minister,
share of Balochistan in the Chinese investment would be 38%. He pointed out that
the size of Pakistan's PSDP was only Rs 425 billion which is quite small for a large
population of 180 million. Unfortunately, even this amount is not properly utilised.
The quality of projects in the country is poor and they suffer from inordinate delays
and resultant cost escalation.
In the Neelum-Jhelum project, the cost has increased from Rs 87 billion to Rs 220
billion. In another case, the original cost of Rs 5 billion has escalated to Rs 35 billion
1202
Tue
and the project is still incomplete. He further stated that the Chinese investment will
spur unprecedented growth in the country, for which we need to develop capability
and capacity to absorb and manage it.
The prime minister argued that it is imperative for improved governance and
economic development in the country that a special team of officers who possess
the requisite capability, commitment and zeal are assigned important
responsibilities. He instructed the minister for planning and development to
accelerate work on governance reforms.
The prime minister asked minister for planning and development to provide further
details of Pak-China Joint Co-ordination Committee visit to China. The minister for
planning and development informed the cabinet that during the visit of the Prime
Minister of Pakistan to China in July last year, an agreement was reached on the
establishment of an "Economic Corridor". During the visit of the Vice Chairman,
National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) to Pakistan, three working
groups were set up, one each for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure sectors.
Initially, projects to the tune of US $15-20 billion were approved. However, he
added that because of hard work during the last six months and confidence of the
Chinese government on Pakistani leadership, the number of projects has
increased.
"We have tried to identify those projects that can benefit the country in the short
term. These Early Harvest Projects would now amount to $50 billion. These projects
would be completed by 2017," Ahsan Iqbal added. The projects include coal, solar
and wind based electricity generation units. An investment of $35 billion is
anticipated in the energy sector. These projects would generate 23,000 MW
whereas the total generation of electricity in the country till date is only 21,000 MW.
The Lahore-Karachi Motorway, expansion of the Gawadar Port and integrated

development of infrastructure in the Gawadar area would bring in further investment
of $11 billion. The Karachi-Peshawar railway track will be upgraded. The minister
for planning and development also pointed out that the Chinese expected us to
work at a fast pace and avoid unnecessary delays. He also emphasised the need
for improving internal security as concern was expressed by the Chinese
government on this account, especially with respect to the security of Chinese
nationals working in Pakistan.
The cabinet observed that the security of Chinese nationals working in Pakistan
was an immediate concern. It was suggested that till the capacity of civil law
enforcement agencies is improved, the task of providing fool proof security to the
Chinese nationals may be assigned to Pakistan Army. The prime minister agreed to
the proposal of assigning the security of the Chinese workers to Pakistan Army.
The minister for finance stated that according to JETRO, Pakistan would soon
become the second choicest place for Foreign Direct Investment in the world due to
improved economic performance. This will be possible if consistency in policies is
maintained. He added that Pakistan has also announced 3G auction, which is
expected by March/April.

All Day Pakistan invites Bahrain to invest in Gwadar, energy -- Pak Tribune
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has offered Bahrain an opportunity to invest in Gwadar Port
and its energy and mining sectors, encouraging the Gulf monarchy to take
advantage of the liberalised investment regime that in return will help Islamabad
attract capital to boost its flagging economy.
"Bahrain has expertise in oil and infrastructure projects and Gwadar Port and the
energy sector may be attractive for the Gulf country," said Dr Musaddaq Malik,
Special Assistant to the Prime Minister.
He was speaking at the Bahrain-Pakistan Business Forum, held on Wednesday to

mark the current visit of King of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to Islamabad.
As many as 17 memoranda of understanding were signed between Pakistan and

Bahrain and between Bahraini government and Pakistani investors. The
agreements were aimed at venturing into new areas and expanding existing
facilities set up in Bahrain by Pakistani investors.
Malik pointed out that China would invest $33 billion over five years in Pakistan, of
which $18 billion would be pumped into infrastructure projects. He suggested that
Bahraini investors should become equity partners of China to explore the
opportunities.
He told the investors that they could also set up power plants in Pakistan – an area
where the country offered a minimum 17% guaranteed rate of return with sovereign
guarantees. In return, Pakistan can provide human capital and invest in the food
sector, the areas where Bahrain is in need of external help.
Trade between the two countries stood at just $250 million per annum while in the
last six years Bahrain invested only $18.7 million in Pakistan, said Miftah Ismail,
Chairman Board of Investment, at the conference.
Ismail asked Bahraini investors to invest in Thar coal and copper and gold mines in
Balochistan. The kind of technology and financial resources required to discover
coal, gold and copper were missing in Pakistan, leaving the mines unexplored, he
said.
The value of Thar coal is estimated at $9 trillion while the size of Pakistan's
economy is only $250 billion. Similarly, he said, copper mines were spread over
30,000 square kilometres and contribution of the mining sector to the economy was
less than half a percentage point, 0.4% of GDP to be precise.
Ismail was of the view Bahrainis were more interested in the banking sector and
equity market while other sectors of interest could be healthcare, education, food,
textile, manufacturing, information and communications technology, industrial,
professional and commercial services.
A lot more needed to be done to improve the dismal figures of bilateral trade,
suggested Dr Hassan Fakhro, Bahrain's Minister of Industries and Commerce while
speaking at the conference.
He asked Pakistan's business community to invest in the food sector that offered
them immense opportunities.
Commerce Minister Khurram Dastgir offered Bahrain an opportunity to invest in the

textile sector in order to get advantage of the 10-year duty-free access to European
markets. In the same manner, Pakistan could also benefit from the free trade
agreement between Bahrain and the US by establishing industrial units in the Gulf
state.

All Day Gwadar to be a glittering port -- Observer
Friday, April 04, 2014 - MINISTER for Defence Production Rana Tanvir Hussain
has made a welcome statement that a state of the art big shipyard to build heavy
commercial and naval vessels will be established at the Gwadar Port. The Minister
who returned after visiting shipyards in China, said, in an interview with this
newspaper, that after thorough study, Pakistan will seek cooperation to start
building new shipyard as per international standards and practices.
The shipbuilding industry has a huge potential due to long deep-sea shores of
Pakistan. The Ministry of defence production in a recent presentation given to a
high level meeting chaired by the Finance Minister Senator Ishaq Dar, highlighted
that Pakistan has many advantages in comparison to other regional countries to
establish new shipyards, because if its deep sea shores, abundance of labour force
and strategic location in the region. Presently Pakistan has only one shipyard and
engineering works with two small dry docks, in Karachi. The ship building industry
could contribute to national economic development and poverty alleviation. It could
help generate economic activity and attract foreign expertise and investments.
Gwadar Port which was completed in 2006 is strategically located on the western
end of Balochistan coast and if due attention was given to its development, the port
could generate billions of dollars in revenues and create at least two million jobs.
Gwadar has the potential to be developed into a full-fledged regional hub and a
trans-shipment port in the future. Thus Gwadar offers the best choice for the
establishment of a shipyard due to its vast soil and less population. In fact there is
need to implement other projects in Gwadar which have been pending since long
including a major industrial zone, establishment of oil refineries and the idea of the
Minister for a shipyard. These projects would make Gwadar major port in the all
important region and turn it into a glittering port city. It would give tremendous boost
to economy of Pakistan in general and Balochistan in particular. We would request
Rana Tanvir Hussain to personally prioritize the building of Shipyard and other
projects at Gwadar Port because such mega projects could bring economic turn
around.
