Khalid Mansour, special assistant to the Prime Minister of Pakistan for China Pakistan Economic Corridor affairs, said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters in the capital Islamabad a few days ago that the construction of China Pakistan Economic Corridor has turned Pakistan from a power shortage country into a power surplus country, met Pakistan's energy demand and reduced Pakistan's power production cost and overall electricity price. The one belt, one road and one landmark project, was launched in 2013. In 2015, the Chinese and Pakistani governments determined the "1 + 4" cooperation layout centered on the China Pakistan Economic Corridor and focusing on Gwadar Port, energy, transportation infrastructure and industrial cooperation. According to the latest statistics released on the website of Pakistan China Pakistan Economic Corridor Affairs Bureau, up to now, the total capacity of energy projects completed under the framework of China Pakistan Economic Corridor has reached 5.32 million KW. Mansour said that these power capacity provided a large number of residential and industrial power, enabling Pakistan to get rid of the dilemma of long-term power outage. Mansour said that another major contribution of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor in the energy field is the completed and put into operation mertiari Lahore ± 660kV DC transmission project. The project solves the problem of power transmission and distribution in Pakistan with advanced technology, reduces power line loss and improves the condition of Pakistan power transmission network. Mansour said that with the guarantee of Pakistan's energy supply, the new stage of high-quality development of China Pakistan economic corridor will start Pakistan's industrialization process, expand the power demand in the industrial field, and then achieve the objectives of import substitution and improving the export level, so as to enable Pakistan to achieve economic transformation. Mansour said that cooperation in the field of agriculture in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor is also one of the priorities of the current Pakistani government. Pakistan hopes to benefit from and practice the experience and achievements of China's agricultural development. Mansour said that the Pakistani government will provide "one-stop" services for foreign investors, including China, and strive to create convenient conditions for foreign investment and business in Pakistan and save enterprise time and cost. "The premier specially asked me to build the China Pakistan Economic Corridor Affairs Bureau into a center that really provides convenience for all Chinese investors." Mansour said.
