ISLAMABAD, May 21 (INP): As Pakistan struggles with economic uncertainty, rising energy costs, and the global shift away from fossil fuels, Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) and green technology are emerging as key drivers for the country’s economic stability and sustainable growth, said Dr. Abid Q. Suleri, Executive Director of the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Disaster Risk Management Fund (NDRMF).
In an exclusive interview with Gwadar Pro on Tuesday, Dr. Suleri said China has remained Pakistan’s most dependable partner, extending support without interfering in internal affairs or attaching political conditions.
“China has proven that it is the only global power which does not interfere in a country’s domestic matters, cause political disruption, or dictate terms and conditions to its allies,” he said.
Chinese investment is playing a major role in Pakistan’s economy. In the first 10 months of this fiscal year, more than 52 percent of Pakistan’s total net FDI came from China, and this trend continues every year.
According to Dr. Suleri, the 75-year relationship between Pakistan and China is now entering a transformative phase driven by industrial cooperation, technological innovation, and business-to-business connectivity under CPEC Phase-II.
