He said government\u2019s top priority is to transform Pakistan\u2019s productive sectors to become engines of export. He said, China helped Pakistan to overcome energy deficit, under CPEC 1.0, and now we hope that CPEC 2.0 will help Pakistan to overcome export deficit.<\/p>\n<p>He further emphasized the need for facilitating exports from Pakistan to China, which imports nearly $2.6 trillion annually and Pakistan\u2019s share of exports is very small, $3 billion.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"MkuJXcgEwc\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/how-did-the-china-pakistan-five-point-initiative-come-about-by-ambassador-jiang-zaidong\/\">How did the China-Pakistan Five-Point Initiative Come About ?  by Ambassador Jiang Zaidong<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;How did the China-Pakistan Five-Point Initiative Come About ?  by Ambassador Jiang Zaidong&#8221; &#8212; Pakistan In the World\" src=\"https:\/\/pakistanintheworld.pk\/live\/how-did-the-china-pakistan-five-point-initiative-come-about-by-ambassador-jiang-zaidong\/embed\/#?secret=MJjQNAYKJb#?secret=MkuJXcgEwc\" data-secret=\"MkuJXcgEwc\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>He said, CPEC 2.0 is geared toward B2B Cooperation.
