[June 20 2023 Pakistan and China to build nuclear power ]

To support the government’s efforts for economic revival, there was a signing of an MoU between Pakistan and China for the 1,200 MW Chashma-5 (C-5) nuclear power project, worth $3.48 billion.

President of China National Nuclear Corporation Overseas Ltd (CNOS) signed the MoU with Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) Member Power Muhammad Saeedur Rehman.

Speaking on the occasion, PM Shehbaz said the project was a “great step forward towards economic cooperation” between the two countries.

He said in light of global inflation, the project cost would have been much higher than the cost determined in 2017-18 but the Chinese government not only abstained from raising the price but instead gave Islamabad a discount of around Rs30 billion.

Vowing to kick-start the project without delay, the prime minister said investment from China in this project to the tune of $3.48 billion “sent a clear message that Pakistan was a place where Chinese companies and investors continued to show their trust and faith”.
