A Chinese conglomerate is considering investing up to $10bn in Pakistan across mining, advanced technology, and industrial development
A delegation from Aerospace Development Industry Investment Group Co has expressed interest in investing between $5 billion and $10 billion in Pakistan, potentially marking one of the largest private Chinese investments in the country.
The delegation, led by Party Secretary and Chairman Lu Jinhai, met Qaiser Ahmed Sheikh, Pakistan’s Federal Minister for the Board of Investment, to discuss potential collaboration opportunities.
During the meeting, the Chinese group highlighted its diversified portfolio, which spans aerospace, artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, drone technologies, and energy projects. The company is exploring opportunities in Pakistan’s mining sector, advanced technology development, and industrial projects.
Officials said the proposed investment could significantly strengthen Pakistan’s industrial base and technological capabilities while attracting further foreign investment into key economic sectors.
The delegation also signalled interest in partnering with Pakistan on skill development initiatives aimed at strengthening the country’s workforce. Representatives described the engagement as a long-term partnership focused on economic and technological advancement rather than a purely transactional investment.
Pakistan has been seeking to attract foreign direct investment to support economic growth, with policymakers increasingly highlighting opportunities in mining, technology, and industrial development.
