Maj. Ijaz Muhammad Khan (Chief Executive Ali Akbar Group), Madam Hao Ying (Chairperson Pak China Manufacturing (Pvt) Ltd.), and Asif Latif Lone (GM Projects Ali Akbar Group)

Addressing the audience at inauguration ceremony , Mr. Khalid Maqbool Said:”The Pak-China Manufacturing unit is as vital for the country as our friendship with People's Republic of China as this project has helped to strengthen out mutual bonds even more. Pakistan being mainly an agricultural country with a dearth of resources, we had to import the major number of pesticides from foreign countries. Now with the help of Pak-China manufacturing plant, we stand the chance of saving our foreign exchange along with the emergent prospects for the development and progress of our agriculture sector. This project will ensure employment opportunities for a lot of talented people, which will result in an increase in per capita income of the country and the GDP.

I appreciate the fact that the current government has shown immense interest in supporting the private sector as this unit. The combined efforts of Mr. Jawed Salim Qureshi (CE. Pak China Manufacturing (Pvt) Ltd.) and the government have enabled us to become self sufficient in the field of pesticides. And I remain very optimistic that the results of our local manufacturing plant will be far more efficient than our imported pesticides, as these will be manufactured to suit local climate and conditions.

Along with this, I want to express my sincere hopes that this plant will be the leader of a green revolution in the country as we will increase our agricultural exports to the foreign markets, thanks to the efforts of Ali Akbar Group.”

It was a marvelous occasion for entire team as the dream of Pak-China Manufacturing touched the lines of reality. The whole team reiterated their commitment of making Pakistan the self sufficient and prosperous in the field of agriculture.
