July 27, 2026

President Asif Ali Zardari has directed that projects agreed between the Government of Sindh and Chinese companies be advanced expeditiously, with all remaining procedural and technical requirements completed at the earliest.

He was chairing a meeting in Karachi today with Chinese delegations from Anhui Nengtong New Energy Technology Company Limited and Luoyang Modern Biology Group to review progress on previously agreed areas of cooperation.

The President was briefed on cooperation in electric vehicle charging infrastructure, veterinary biological vaccines, animal identification and traceability, agricultural technology, healthcare, fire safety equipment and other sectors.

The President was informed about Anhui Nengtong's interest in manufacturing and supplying EV charging stations and developing related infrastructure in Sindh.

Asif Ali Zardari said the government is fully facilitating Chinese businesses and investors and that Pakistan highly values its All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership with China.

He reaffirmed the country's commitment to further strengthening economic cooperation under CPEC, with CPEC 2.0 now underway.

He said Karachi and Hyderabad offer significant potential for EV infrastructure, while the Karachi-Hyderabad M-9 corridor could serve as an important starting point for intercity charging facilities.

The President was also briefed on cooperation with Luoyang Modern Biology Group on veterinary biological vaccines and animal identification and traceability. He was informed that vaccine trials in China and Pakistan are expected to conclude by November 2026.

He said these initiatives, along with cooperation in disease diagnosis, vaccine development and a modern animal track and trace mechanism, will strengthen livestock management, disease control, food safety and the export competitiveness of Pakistan's livestock sector and its products.
