Good going IK

Ya surely...... They will get more land and pakistan will get more loan...

Financial package and deferred payments will certainly open a new chapter of cooperation between the two nations.

I hope this time, IK will not promote Pakistan as corrupt sate!

This visit will open up a new era of development and prosperity under the honest and passionate leadership of PM Imran Khan. Previous governments only knew how to muk muka with each other only to loot and plunder the nation and prolong their misrule under the guise of so-called "democracy".

time will tell weather it would be a new chapter or a disaster

China is so keen to meet PM IK goes on to show how strategic the relationship is. Both need each other. Just like with KSA, IK will do wonders with China visit and solve our economic crisis. Great going captain.

@Kamal .. we won't bring a positive change unless and until we have courage to accept our past mistakes and shortcomings. Unfortunately it is a fact that Pakistanis leaders have been corrupt to the core. Let's accept it, only then we will be able to correct ourselves.

Kamal, it is called reality check, We are corrupt, we know that and everyone else does. In this modern age you cannot hide the truth. Its time to admit that we have issues to address and find a solution.

All previous chapters were full of deceits in the form of debt trap. See if you find anything hopeful in the new chapter.

@Kamal Surely Imran Khan will learn new techniques to punish corrupts.

All the best.

Never keep all eggs in one basket.

China wants 18th amendment repealed and presidential system installed; so that they can control Pakistani population the same way they do.

Wave off the loan, a new chapter. Otherwise it’s same as usual.

If IK can erase the interest on loans, then it’s definitely will be a new chapter. But China won’t do.

@Anti-Corruption At international forums, I have never seen any leader blaming their own country!

China needs to cooperate, wave off the interest on loans, then it will be a new chapter in Pakistan China relations as Iron Brothers.

China is very Happy that Pakistan got relief of USD 6 Bn from Soudi.

Pakistan will participate in CIIE as a guest of honour. Does it mean it will not get any orders as a regular member ?

Pakistan needs more manufacturing industries. Specially, high value, high tech., less polluting industries that can produce export-oriented products. That would add value to export related production and create more jobs for skilled labours and professionals. More industries, more jobs, more export, more foreign exchange earnings and resulting in less reliance on IMF and other loaners, more prosperity and better standard of living for Pakistanis.

Does this mean that the existing era of cooperation wasn't good enough?

Khan should seek economic avenues for Pakistan over there in China. Needless to say, China is major stackholde in context to emerging regional economic scenario.

@Sachin Tandon I hope pm going for business trip not for aid or loan

Take a feather from just concluded Modi, s visit to Japan. Both Abe and Modi, are true and progressive Leaders of Asia.

Solitary hope for his nation is PM Khan

Imran’s visit to China will also open new chapter of debt

Khan will ask China for money to escape bail out by IMF.

I hope this time IK will be well prepared before giving a speech. And avoid presenting Pakistan as a state full of corruption.

yap we need more and more investments that gives our locals jobs and that gives our investors help to export more, like the JF thunder we need products which has international market, the weapons are just one example we can thrill the world with our leather quality and sports good quality, our textile end product is awesome, we need to get our fruits all over the world

@Sha b "Never keep all eggs in one basket." Show us other baskets.

Good luck IK

in the last two months the number of Economic Experts, Political Analysts, Strategy Specialists and many other type of highly specialized individuals have increased in our country, I wonder where have been all these guys for the past few decades??

The unique China-Pakistan strategic axis which the basis of the future Asian solidity, has to be reinforced still further against the vicious ill winds blowing against it.

@AntiCorruptionWorld forgot Trump???

China has duped Pakistan in all projects under CPEC. China's investment in $46 bn in the ongoing projects is meager $11bn ie about 20% and rest 80% will be repaid by Pakistan subsequently. The Senate has already been informed that 91% revenues generated at Gwadar port would go to China for next 40 years and rest 10% to port authorities which is totally unfair keeping in view that 80% cost of projects is borne by Pakistan. Some foreign agencies have reported that projects given to Chinese private companies are at exorbitant rates almost twice the open market rates which drastically increases the loans amount to be paid back to China. This entire CPEC project, China is the major beneficiary and Pakistan is only getting crumbs. Imran Khan during his visit to China should seriously negotiate to convert major part of Chinese loans into grants otherwise Pakistan will face unprecedented debt crisis.

Teachings for IK before visiting China.

1) Investment :- Putting funds in business with returns as profit-sharing only. Generally long term funds with lock in period well defined. 2) Loan:- Putting funds in business with returns as interest which is well defined in percentage. Generally short term or medium term which is repayable (called principal amount) on due date (of course over and above the interest) with well defined penalty clause in the event of default in payment of interest or principal.

All the best for the visit.

I donot think there will be much to gain...chinese will arm twist because they knows the condition and impact of this will show after next 5 years...if politicians are really serious they have to work internally to make economy strong rather then running around....Modi visited several countries but have not able to get much investments....Key is grow internally and then you can sit with others on table...going here and there will be make shift planning to douse the immediate fire....

@Last Word "China has duped Pakistan in all projects under CPEC." Oh really?? Please keep on informing us, we are really interested.

Take so many loans that even lenders gets confused and forgets some of these loans.

It would be nice some handicrafts are taken to China for their appreciation and orders if possible.

IK must stand by his own industrialists, workers, contractors, transporters who have been ruined by Chinese policy of invasion of Pak.IK must be aupported by commons if raise his voice for jobs and balance of trade with China. IK should not be afraid of Chinese loby in Pak.

@harish "Take so many loans that even lenders gets confused and forgets some of these loans." This is a good option as well. It certainly works with advice coming from outside.

Will Imran Khan raise the issue of Chinese Muslims being imprisoned in concentration camps by the Chinese government?

Welcome to the club and the main clubhouse. Keep it up and hang on tough.

Is China agreeing that the past agreements are were not good enough for Pakistan?

Chinese strategy has been to influence few politicians and get favorable agreements. Will it be different with Imran Khan?

If IK has the guts then he should also protest the millions of Muslim young men now languishing in special brain washing camps in China. But I know that ain't gonna happen.

New Chapter means, Closing of Bribery account of Shrief Brothers and opening of Imran's account.
