Expressing delight at sail-off of first ship loaded with frozen fish from Pakistan, a senior Chinese diplomat has invited Pakistani traders to explore more avenues for export of various commodities to China.

It may be recalled that a standard sized container of silver croaker fish has set off from Karachi port via cargo ship COSCO recently.

The Chinese importer, Xu Zhenwei, was expecting to receive the frozen fish consignment by the end of the current month.

“That’s great progress. Please bring more products including mango, tiger prawns and crabs to China,” remarked Li Bijian, the enthusiastic Chinese Consul General in Karachi. He made these remarks while responding to a blogger June 6.

Replying to another blogger, who was seeking trade information, Li Bijian reckoned that there was huge potential of export from Pakistan to China.

Another grower informed the Consul General that he owned the largest date farm on the CPEC route and he was keen to find some business opportunity for dates export to China.

“We have world class best quality of dates but unfortunately we haven’t had the access to Chinese market in the past,” yet another blogger posted.

The Sindh Chief Minister, Syed Murad Ali Shah, has already announced lifting of ban on fish catching earlier this month in view of the financial constraints of fishermen due to ongoing COVID-19 situation.
