Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb met with China’s Deputy Finance Minister Liao Min in Washington D.C., where he highlighted Pakistan’s economic progress and invited fresh Chinese investment in key sectors.
Aurangzeb briefed Liao Min on Pakistan’s recently finalized Staff-Level Agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), describing it as a strong endorsement of the government’s ongoing economic reforms.
He also shared updates on the upcoming Panda Bond issuance in China’s financial market — a move seen as part of Pakistan’s broader strategy to diversify its funding sources.
The finance minister sought China’s backing for Pakistan’s membership in the New Development Bank and encouraged greater participation from Chinese enterprises in vital sectors such as information technology, agriculture, industry, and minerals.
The meeting underscored Islamabad’s efforts to deepen economic cooperation with Beijing, particularly as Pakistan looks to strengthen investor confidence and accelerate growth across emerging industries.
