Engro Chairman Corporation, Mr. Hussain Dawood, represented Pakistan at a high-level Special Dialogue with Chinese Premier Li Qiang during the World Economic Forum’s 16th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, reinforcing the strategic importance of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor in shaping regional economic integration and long-term development.
Speaking at the forum, Mr. Dawood highlighted the deep-rooted and enduring partnership between Pakistan and China, describing it as a model of trust, continuity, and shared economic vision. He recalled his participation in the 2013 delegation led by the then Prime Minister of Pakistan, which laid the foundation for what would become the transformative China–Pakistan Economic Corridor initiative.
A Decade of Transformation Through the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor
The China–Pakistan Economic Corridor has since emerged as one of the most significant bilateral development frameworks in the region, mobilizing approximately $62 billion in investments across energy, infrastructure, and industrial connectivity. These projects have strengthened trade routes linking Kashgar in western China to Pakistan’s deep-sea port of Gwadar, enhancing regional connectivity and economic resilience.
Mr. Dawood emphasized that the success of the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor lies in long-term planning, institutional trust, and a shared commitment to inclusive growth. He noted that Engro has played an active role in several CPEC-linked initiatives, particularly in collaboration with leading Chinese partners such as China Machinery Engineering Corporation.
Engro’s Strategic Role in Deepening Pakistan–China Ties
Highlighting Engro’s participation in major infrastructure and energy ventures, Mr. Dawood stressed that the company views the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor not merely as an investment platform but as a catalyst for sustainable development, industrial modernization, and regional stability.
He further underlined that partnerships built under the CPEC framework are driven by transparency, long-term vision, and mutual respect—values that continue to define Pakistan–China economic cooperation.
