PAKISTAN-CHINA
The Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) and China Energy International Group Company Limited – Pakistan Branch (CEEC) have entered into a landmark strategic partnership aimed at integrating Pakistani engineers into some of the world’s largest infrastructure and energy projects.
The high-impact Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed at the Energy China Office in Islamabad, marking a major milestone in international engineering cooperation and global workforce mobility.
Under the agreement, PEC-registered Pakistani engineers will gain structured access to Energy China’s mega projects spanning power generation, renewable energy, hydropower, transmission networks, transport infrastructure, and investment ventures across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. The initiative is expected to create direct overseas employment opportunities while enabling advanced skills transfer and global exposure for Pakistan’s engineering workforce.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Energy China Managing Director Mr. Wang Hui Hua highlighted CEEC’s extensive global footprint, with over 140,000 professionals operating in 147 countries. He reaffirmed the company’s commitment to recruiting Pakistani engineers, collaborating with local contractors, and embedding corporate social responsibility within China’s investments in Pakistan.
PEC Chairman Engr. Waseem Nazir described the MoU as a “paradigm shift” for Pakistan’s engineering sector. He announced the establishment of a dedicated China Desk at PEC to ensure sustained engagement, transparent placement mechanisms, and capacity-building collaboration with Chinese state-owned enterprises. He added that 2026 would be remembered as a turning point when Pakistani engineers transitioned from domestic opportunities to global engineering leadership.
The agreement positions Pakistan as a strategic engineering talent hub for one of the world’s largest infrastructure developers, opening a new chapter of high-value, technology-driven, and globally integrated career pathways for Pakistani engineers. – ER News Desk
