KARACHI: Chairman of Engro, Mr. Hussain Dawood, was invited to speak at a Special Dialogue with Li Qiang, Premier of the People’s Republic of China, during the World Economic Forum’s 16th Annual Meeting of the New Champions.
During the session Mr. Dawood reaffirmed the enduring all-weather friendship between China and Pakistan. He shared that, in 2013, he was privileged to be part of the delegation to China led by the Honourable Prime Minister of Pakistan, which laid the foundation for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). This landmark initiative has delivered sustained prosperity to both countries, with $62 billion invested in energy and infrastructure projects connecting Kashgar in western China to the deep-sea port of Gwadar in Pakistan.
In his remarks, Mr. Dawood reiterated Engro’s contributions to CPEC projects with key Chinese partners, including China Machinery Engineering Corporation. He further underscored that the cornerstone of these partnerships is mutual trust and openness to long-term planning.
Engro’s active participation in transformational projects with Chinese partners reflects its commitment to inclusive progress that unlocks a brighter future for all.
