PM Shehbaz Sharif has said “I am going to inaugurate the K3 Nuclear Power Plant built with the cooperation of China in Karachi tomorrow”.
With this project, the total production of electricity from nuclear power plant in Karachi will be 2200 MW. China is a long time friend of Pakistan who has helped Pakistan in every good and bad situation. The strategic partnership between Pakistan and China is ideal and Pakistan wants to strengthen it further. The investment of billions of dollars under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor is a proof of the love of the Chinese government and people for Pakistan.
