Pakistan must trade with China in Chinese Currency Yuan because China is our largest trading partner. Taking loans from IMF to import goods from China using those dollars is a very bad economic policy

I hope there will come a time when Ministry of Defence, Prime Minister and President will approve the military naval air and drone bases for China. We will give them bases in all provinces of country.
