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.
