巴基斯坦总理争取中国投资

Pakistan\'s prime minister attempted Thursday to convert some of the soaring rhetoric that has accompanied his four-day visit to China into hard cash.Speaking at a Chinese business forum a day after a mutually laudatory meeting with Premier Wen Jiabao, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani urged Chinese investors to consider Pakistan as they draw up their future business plans.

Mr. Gilani particularly stressed the potential for investment in Pakistan\'s energy sector, saying the opportunities include hydro, thermal and renewable energy sources.The prime minister did not specifically mention nuclear energy. However the United States and other governments have been concerned about Pakistan\'s Chasma nuclear reactor, which opened with Chinese assistance last week. China is also helping to finance two more nuclear reactors at the same site, even though Pakistan has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty.

吉拉尼特别强调了在巴基斯坦能源领域投资的潜力，他说，商机存在于水力、热能以及再生能源。吉拉尼没有专门提到核能。然而，美国和其它国家对巴基斯坦的恰希马核反应堆表示关注，这个反应堆在中国的帮助下于上星期开始运作。此外，尽管巴基斯坦没有签署《核不扩散条约》，中国还为同一地点的另外两个反应堆提供资助。
