The meeting featured remarks by the Ambassador, senior leaders of Chinese medical and surgical industry associations, presentations by BOI and local enterprises, networking opportunities, and individual 200 B2B sessions. Over 80 Chinese companies and associations and more than 20 Pakistani companies participated both in person and online. Three Memorandum of Understandings (MOUs) worth $250 million were signed. 

 

In his keynote speech, Ambassador of Pakistan to China H.E. Mr. Khalil Hashmi underscored the long standing experience and expertise gained by Pakistan in this important sector, the comparative advantage of competitive labour cost, geographical location, market access and investment facilitation measures offered by Pakistan in this sector.

Highlighting the global reputation of Sialkot’s precision medical and surgical  instruments, Ambassador Hashmi encouraged Chinese companies to explore joint ventures with Pakistani counterparts and offered full support and facilitation by the Embassy. 

 

Mr. Zhou Hui, President of the China Chamber of Commerce for Import & Export of Medicines & Health Products (CCCMHPIE), also spoke, noting the increasing trade in medical sector between the two countries. He underscored the complementary strengths of Pakistan’s labour force and raw materials and China’s supply chain expertise.

 

The meeting concluded with an announcement by Ambassador Hashmi that Pakistan will host the 4th Health, Engineering, and Minerals Show (HEMS) in Lahore from April 17-19, 2025, with a special focus on surgical and medical instruments. He invited Chinese companies to participate and explore new opportunities for growth and innovation.
