ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday lauded China for bringing an alternative model to Western democracy.
Speaking to Chinese journalists on the centenary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Prime Minister Imran Khan said the party was a unique model and had beaten all Western democracies.
“The CPC’s system of sifting talent, grooming it and bringing it up is probably more remarkable than an electoral democracy which doesn’t bring up that sort of meritocracy and hold people accountable,” he opined.
“It is very flexible system. When they want to change something the system allows them to do so.” However, he added, in our society and in Western democracies, it is difficult to bring a change as you are bound by rules and regulations.
We admire Chinese President Xi Jinping as one of the greatest statesmen of the modern world, the prime minister said, adding we have admiration for him for two particular reasons; one his commitment to fighting corruption, and secondly, he pulled so many people out of poverty.
PM Imran Khan reiterated the country’s commitment to strengthening ties with China politically and economically. He said a high level committee has been set up to follow up on CPEC projects and he will be visiting Gwadar next week to review progress on CPEC projects.
CPEC is a project that gives us optimism and hope for future economic development, he maintained, adding he was looking forward to a trip to China, which he said, is in the offing and will focus on further strengthening the bilateral relationship.
We hope to attract Chinese industries to special economic zones by giving them incentives, Khan said, adding they can also benefit from cheaper labour in Pakistan. Besides, he said Pakistan wants to benefit from the latest techniques China employs in the agriculture sector to increase productivity.
PM Khan lauded Beijing for successfully tackling the Covid-19 pandemic. We are thankful to China for donating vaccine, which helped Pakistan tackle cope with the virus, he added.
