China has expressed keen interest in participating in the Prime Minister’s Housing Scheme to develop affordable houses for every Pakistani.

Mr Zaidi said that because China was collaborating in the development of various projects in Pakistan, President Asif Ali Zardari desires that Pakistan should also benefit from Chinese expertise in the PM’s housing scheme for low income groups.
