Says objective is to follow China's economic model


Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has said Pakistan is all set to offer free visas to Chinese citizens beginning from August 14.
The premier's statement came during his meeting with a 12-member high-level Chinese delegation led by Minister Wang Fukang who called on him.
PM Shehbaz said on the occasion that during his recent visit to China, he requested President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Li Qiang to send experts to Pakistan.
He said the goal of providing free visas to the Chinese was to model Pakistan's economy after China's.
"China and Pakistan are eternal friends, with a friendship that knows no bounds," Sharif said and emphasised that industrial cooperation was crucial at this time.
The premier said he believed that joint ventures and cooperation would create a win-win situation, adding the delegation's visit was highly reassuring and expressed hope that it would be both useful and productive for Pakistan.
