Pakistan Railways got a boost! They added 40 brand new wagons made in Pakistan, thanks to technology from China. These wagons can carry more cargo (70 tons!), move containers faster, and will eventually let freight trains travel at 100 km/h. Even better, making these wagons locally saves money and creates jobs!  #PakistanRailways #MadeInPakistan #ChinaTechnology #CargoTransport #FreightTrains #JobCreation #EconomicBoost #spaekpakistan
