New Pakistani Government Seeks to Reinvigorate CPEC Projects, Repair Ties with China to Spur Manufacturing and Technology Growth

The new government aims to prioritize and expedite CPEC projects to diversify manufacturing, boost agriculture, and facilitate technology transfer.

Trust issues between Pakistan and China due to previous government's actions have caused reluctance in Chinese investment. Repairing ties is key.

The Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) will likely play a role in facilitating CPEC investments by improving regulations.

Progress continues on CPEC energy and infrastructure projects. The focus now shifts to special economic zones, agriculture, and technology.

Critical next steps include enhancing governance, incentivizing investment, addressing security challenges, and creating a one-window facility.
