Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said Pakistan's future lay in industrialisation, adding that his government was now focusing on sustainable growth.
Addressing the commercial launch of Rashakai Prioritized Special Economic Zone in Nowshera, he said wealth creation is impossible with industrialisation.
"Also this economic zone comes under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). This is a good thing for Pakistan because China has developed rapidly, and we can learn the most from their development."
The prime minister stated that industrialisation in Western countries was "old" and Pakistan could not learn from it. "But China has the most recent [experience with] industrialisation," he said, reiterating that Pakistan could learn a lot from its developed neighbour.
