Lahore, September 06, 2022 (PPI-OT):Mr. Wang Zihai, President Pakistan China Joint Chamber of Commerce (PCJCCI) has stated that Pakistan should look to adopt the Chinese model of water purification in order to reduce the spread of water borne diseases, which are causing a loss to Pakistan’s economy of up to $1.3 billion every year and are the biggest source of gastrointestinal infections. The meeting was attended by the executive members of PCJCCI along with some Chinese officials held yesterday at PCJCCI premises.

Mr Wang Zihai said that the purpose of this meeting was to discuss Chinese water management system and purification technology so that Pakistan can get help from their experience. It was said in the meeting that the replication of this system could overcome water diseases in Pakistan particularly in poor cities of Sindh that are not getting access to clean water.

Mr. Ehsan Choudhry Senior Vice President PCJCCI said that China’s global fresh water sources are merely 6% whereas; they have to provide clean drinking water to 20% of the world’s population. However with years of research and exploration, China has devised a water purification system that not only enabled it to meet its water needs but also provided people with medically approved healthy water.”

Mr. Sarfaraz Butt, Vice President PCJCCI said that the water crisis is a global issue and now China wants to benefit the world, since Pakistan faces such a crisis particularly in Sindh and Northern Punjab it is important to introduce such plants to Pakistan. Mr. Salahuddin Hanif, Secretary General PCJCCI appreciated the opportunities and agreed that the country is in dire need of such a system.
