We Want Chinese Investments Not Aid, Finance Minister

The Finance Minister has reiterated the government's commitment to fostering strategic economic partnerships with China, emphasizing that the nation seeks sustainable investments rather than financial aid. Speaking at a recent economic forum, the minister highlighted the importance of long-term collaborations that drive industrial growth, infrastructure development, and job creation. He stated that investment-driven economic policies would enable the country to strengthen its financial independence while fostering bilateral trade and innovation. “The government is actively working to create a business-friendly environment that encourages foreign direct investment (FDI), particularly from China. Our goal is to facilitate projects that offer mutual benefits and sustainable economic growth,” the minister said. He further elaborated that the infrastructure, technology, and energy sectors present significant opportunities for Chinese investors.

The minister emphasized that such investments would lead to the transfer of expertise, modernization of key industries, and increased exports. The government remains committed to transparency and regulatory reforms to ensure that investments are secure and yield long-term benefits for both parties. Discussions with Chinese financial institutions and enterprises are ongoing to explore new avenues for economic collaboration. The minister concluded by reaffirming that the focus is on self-reliance and strengthening economic ties through trade and investment rather than relying on aid. “We believe in fostering partnerships that drive prosperity, innovation, and sustainable development,”
