LAHORE – The Punjab Saaf Pani Company’s (PSPC’s) delegation left for China on Monday to hold road show and invite investments in clean water projects.
According to reports, Pakistan’s counsel general has arranged a road show on behalf of the company on April 6 in Beijing where the delegation will showcase documentaries and share presentations regarding the investment opportunities in the province.
The delegation will also hold one-on-one meetings with businessmen and heads of leading international firms in Shanghai, where as Pakistan’s Ambassador to China Masood Khalid has arranged a conference in Beijing to interact with the Chinese investors.
Before departure, Minister for Housing Urban Development Malik Tanveer Aslam said that the Punjab government had taken special measures to ensure enabling environment for international investment in various development projects under the leadership of Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.
He said that beside several sectors, the chief minister had launched a initiative of providing safe drinking water to the under-served and marginalised segments of the society in rural and peri-urban areas of the province.
He said that for that purpose, the PSPC had been established as a special purpose vehicle to plan, design and execute water supply projects in 144 tehsils of 36 districts of the Punjab.
“One of the basic purposes of arranging a road show and holding meetings with the heads of the leading international firms and companies is to invite them to invest in this project and meet international standards in provision of community-based water supply solutions to the marginalised segments of society,” said PSPC Chief Executive Officer Waseem Ajmal.
He said that they are focusing on inviting the Chinese investors to come to Pakistan and sign in Engineering, Planning and Construction (EPC) contracts with the PSPC to provide safe drinking water to the teeming millions across the province.
PSPC Chairman Kashif Padhyar said that they were interested in extending invitation and meeting Chinese investors to convince them to join our ranks in the development of the biggest province of Pakistan.
