Desalination plant in Karachi: Delegation of Chinese investors meets Nasir

Business Recorder reported that Sindh Local Government Minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah met a delegation of Chinese investors in Karachi to discuss opportunities in several sectors, including modern firefighting systems, water projects and a desalination plant. The chief minister's investment adviser Qasim Naveed Qamar, Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab and officials from the Water Corporation also took part in the session.

The investors showed keen interest in putting money into various sectors and discussed cooperation in technology, machinery and urban infrastructure. Nasir said the provincial government aims to supply Rescue 1122 and the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation with advanced firefighting equipment so they can respond swiftly to emergencies, which would reduce casualties and protect property.

Nasir added that the Chinese investors had also shown interest in a desalination plant, which could turn seawater into usable water and strengthen the city's supply as its population grows. He said the Sindh government would keep providing facilities to foreign investors and continue modernising Karachi's urban infrastructure with advanced technology.
