He said a number of more Chinese were lined up to investment in Pakistan’s industrial sector and soon all would be accommodated.
Asim Bajwa said the visa date was also being extended for the Chinese investors as the period of visas was being increased from three months to two years.
He said CPEC was bringing economic revolution in Pakistan and the benefits of CPEC could be witnessed clearly in Gwadar port city.
He said there was no limit of cooperation with China as it was ready to cooperate with Pakistan in every field. He said Prime Minister Imran Khan himself was leading issues related to agriculture livestock sectors.
