Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who his confidants say wants to maximise benefits from the US$ 32 billion investment package given by China, has taken serious notice of the delay in issuance of visas to Chinese nationals who are required by different Chinese companies in different projects in Pakistan. According to top-level official Pakistani sources quoted by Lahore's Daily Times, as many as 90,000 visas for Chinese professionals are pending. They are to come to Pakistan to work on different projects launched by Chinese companies in Pakistan, including Huawei Telecom, ZTE and Zong.
