Chairman CCP showcases investment potential to All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce delegation

Islamabad: A senior-level delegation from the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) visited the Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) this week, as part of a broader initiative to explore cross-border investment opportunities and deepen regulatory cooperation between China and Pakistan.

The Chinese delegation was led by Mr. Yi Jiang, Director at ACFIC, and included Mr. Fuzhong Yang, Director for Logistics & Tourism, Mr. Ge Xu, Director, and Mr. Mingqian Sun, Managing Director of Leviathan Holdings Ltd. The meeting was hosted by Dr. Kabir Ahmed Sidhu, Chairman of CCP, who provided the visitors with an in-depth overview of Pakistan’s evolving business climate and investment landscape.

Dr. Sidhu emphasized CCP’s mandate to maintain competitive markets and prevent monopolistic practices. “Our legal and regulatory frameworks are designed to ensure transparency, fair competition, and investor protection. These are vital pillars for building long-term confidence among foreign investors,” he stated.

The visiting Chinese delegation expressed particular interest in opportunities within Pakistan’s renewable energy, healthcare, education, and logistics sectors, areas seen as pivotal for long-term bilateral cooperation. ACFIC officials praised the regulatory mechanisms enforced by the CCP, describing them as conducive to fair market practices and essential for ensuring the stability of business operations in a developing economy.

Chairman Dr. Sidhu welcomed the delegation’s interest in Pakistan and reiterated CCP’s readiness to provide regulatory support, facilitate market entry, and encourage innovation through fair competition policies. “We look forward to building long-term cooperation with ACFIC and its member enterprises. Pakistan offers a diverse array of investment avenues, and the CCP will remain a partner in ensuring these ventures are governed by transparency, equity, and compliance.”
