Pakistan’s export to China crossed $1.605 billion in the first five months of 2022, up 5.42 percent year on year, shows the official data from the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China (GACC). 

Badar uz Zaman, Commercial Counsellor at Pakistani Embassy in Beijing, said that despite the epidemic of COVID-19, bilateral trade has increased significantly. 

“The Pakistani government is also fully committed to tapping its industrialization potential and paying particular attention to the construction of special economic zones to enhance its trade with other countries”, he added. 

Badar expressed that the 2nd phase of the China-Pakistan Free Trade Agreement provides zero-tariff market access for Pakistan’s 313 major export commodities, and has greatly promoted Pakistan’s manufacturing industry to expand production and exports. 

“The China-Pakistan free trade agreements would create more space for Pak-China service trade. The bilateral trade will cross $50 billion within next five years. 

This year bilateral trade would cross $32 billion”, he said. 

The total volume of trade between China and Pakistan has amounted to $12.06 billion, up nearly 19 percent compared with 2021 which was $10.14 billion due to COVID-19. 

Among the growth of trade in major products between the two countries, rice, sesamum seeds, pine nuts, textiles, seafood, and other agricultural products have increased year on year, which has promoted Pakistan’s economic recovery.
