巴基斯坦驻华大使哈什米参观了位于喀什的巴基斯坦国家物流公司物流中心，考察其不断扩大的跨境物流业务，并强调中国通过加强中巴合作，在强化区域贸易、互联互通和经济一体化方面发挥的作用。

访问期间，哈什米听取了关于国家物流公司物流基础设施、运输网络及运营能力的简报，这些能力支持着巴基斯坦、中国和中亚之间的货物流动。根据周日发布的官方声明，官员表示该公司已扩展其物流网络，以支持不断增长的双边贸易并提高区域供应链效率。

简报内容涵盖国家物流公司的货物处理、仓储、通关便利化、货运代理和多式联运服务。喀什物流中心作为连接巴基斯坦与中国西部及中亚的关键门户，可实现更快、更高效的货物运输。

哈什米赞扬了国家物流公司对中巴经济合作的贡献，称该组织是双边贸易和区域联通的关键推动力。他表示，其不断扩大的物流基础设施支持着伊斯兰堡与北京之间的长期经济伙伴关系。

3. 旁遮普省提议电动汽车激励措施，看好中国投资空间

Punjab proposes EV incentives, sees scope for Chinese investment

旁遮普省已提出政策措施，旨在加速电动汽车普及、扩大充电基础设施并吸引私人投资。官员表示，中国技术可支持该省向更清洁交通方式的转型。

官员称，旁遮普公私合作管理局已提交建议，计划开发电动汽车充电网络，并鼓励本地及外国投资者进入该领域。

这些提议出台之际，巴基斯坦正致力于实现交通现代化、减少对进口燃料的依赖并推广低排放出行方式。作为全球主要的电动汽车及充电技术生产国，中国被官员视为旁遮普省电动汽车转型的潜在合作伙伴。

据官员透露，这些建议呼吁通过为在旁遮普省各地建设充电站的企业提供更清晰的监管和财务框架，推动充电行业向更多私营部门开放。

对于愿意在农村及服务不足地区建设充电基础设施的投资者，还提出了特别激励措施。这些地区商业回报可能较低，但需要连接性来支撑更广泛的电动汽车普及。

提议要求利用公共和私人土地，在全省范围内开发一体化的充电网络。官员表示，其中还包括为投资充电站的企业提供可能的财务支持，以降低早期风险。

该管理局已提议建立专门针对电动出行项目的融资机制，包括绿色金融工具以及来自专注于气候韧性、清洁能源和可持续交通的国际金融机构的支持。

官员称，此类融资可与拥有电池制造、充电系统和电动出行技术专长的中国企业投资形成互补。

根据拟议框架，电动汽车充电站、换电设施及相关基础设施可通过公私合作模式开发，结合政府支持与私营部门投资。

该政策还呼吁建立专门的机构机制，以促进旁遮普省电动汽车领域的投资，改善政府部门间的协调，并加快对战略性电动汽车项目的决策。

官员表示，这些提议将通过帮助减少交通相关排放、改善城市空气质量以及推广更清洁的出行方式，支持旁遮普省的环境目标。

Punjab has proposed policy measures to accelerate electric vehicle adoption, expand charging infrastructure and attract private investment, with officials saying Chinese technology could support the province's shift towards cleaner transport.

Officials said the Punjab Public Private Partnership Authority had submitted recommendations for developing an EV charging network and encouraging local and foreign investors to enter the sector.

The proposals come as Pakistan seeks to modernise transport, reduce dependence on imported fuels and promote low-emission mobility. China, a major global producer of electric vehicles and charging technologies, is seen by officials as a potential partner in Punjab's EV transition.

According to officials, the recommendations call for opening the EV charging sector to greater private participation through a clearer regulatory and financial framework for companies setting up charging stations across Punjab.

Special incentives have also been proposed for investors willing to build charging infrastructure in rural and underserved areas, where commercial returns may be lower but connectivity is needed to support wider EV adoption.

The proposals call for the use of public and private land to develop an integrated charging network across the province. Officials said they also include possible financial support for companies investing in charging stations to reduce early-stage risks.

The authority has proposed a dedicated financing mechanism for electric mobility projects, including green finance instruments and support from international financial institutions focused on climate resilience, clean energy and sustainable transport.

Officials said such financing could complement investment from Chinese companies with expertise in battery manufacturing, charging systems and electric mobility technologies.

Under the proposed framework, EV charging stations, battery-swapping facilities and related infrastructure could be developed through public-private partnership models combining government support with private-sector investment.

The policy also calls for a dedicated institutional mechanism to promote investment in Punjab's EV sector, improve coordination among government departments and speed up decisions on strategic EV projects.

Officials said the proposals would support Punjab's environmental goals by helping reduce transport-related emissions, improve urban air quality and promote cleaner mobility.
