Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif invited Chinese investment for the government’s 10,000 megawatts solar and other renewable energy projects, the Prime Minister’s Office said on Wednesday, adding that the offer received an encouraging response.
PM Shehbaz, who landed in Beijing on a two-day visit last night, had given approval for the execution of the solar project in August as part of measures to reduce the import bill.
He met Chinese investors and businessmen today and besides seeking investment for the solar energy project, he encouraged Chinese investment in other renewable energy projects, including wind power turbines.
“Leading Chinese companies have […] shown a keen interest to invest in Pakistan’s solar, water and other infrastructure projects,” the PMO statement said.
