BEIJING, June 6: Pakistan and China signed on Wednesday three memorandums of understanding covering supply of water from Tarbela to Islamabad, establishment of Special Economic Zone in the proposed city of Zulfikarabad in Sindh and construction of 6,000 flats in I-15 sector on the basis of private-public partnership and an agreement for de-silting of canals and barrages in Sindh.

The President’s spokesman, Senator Farhatullah Babar, said that agreement should give a fresh impetus to economic engagement between the two countries.

The president held separate meetings with the Chinese business executives of the four companies which had signed the accords and invited them to take advantage of the investment-friendly policies of the government.—APP
