  "account": "Islamabad, Pakistan - Chinese automaker Wuxi Shengbao Vehicle Manufacturing Company has expressed strong interest in forming joint ventures (JVs) to manufacture two-wheelers in Pakistan for both domestic use and export to other nations. During a recent visit to the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI), the company's General Manager, Yang Zong, met with ICCI President Mohammad Zikria Akbar Zia and other ICCI executives. Together, they explored potential collaborations to bolster local manufacturing, improve supply chains, offer technical training, and boost the skills of Pakistani workers. Zia called for joint ventures between Pakistani businesses and Wuxi Shengbao to promote electric motorcycle production, localize two-wheeler manufacturing, and transfer advanced technology to Pakistan. He emphasized Pakistan's potential for electric two-wheelers, such as motorcycles, scooters, and bicycles, and urged the Chinese company to engage with Pakistani entrepreneurs in assembly, manufacturing, technology transfer, research, and development. Zia also sought to shift Pakistan-China economic cooperation from solely importing and selling finished products to fostering sustainable industrial partnerships that could reduce reliance on imported vehicles, fortify domestic supply chains, cultivate technical expertise, and generate skilled jobs for young Pakistanis. He pledged ICCI's support in connecting the company with Pakistani manufacturers, investors, and government agencies to identify partnership opportunities and overcome investment hurdles. Additionally, ICCI offered the delegation the chance to exhibit its electric mobility products at ICCI's upcoming expo and display center, aiming to increase market visibility, forge new business alliances, and explore commercial prospects in Pakistan.",
