Pakistan’s intention in working with Xinjiang to promote connectivity in the areas of infrastructural development, economic synergy, commerce and investment, agriculture, educational exchanges, science and technology, and interpersonal relationships has been voiced by Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar.
On Friday, he stated in a speech to the professors and students at Xinjiang University in Urumqi that Pakistan was looking to learn from Xinjiang’s achievements in agricultural development. In order to present contemporary farming practises and methods, we would also like to establish a collaborative agricultural demonstration zone in Pakistan.
The Prime Minister stated that Pakistan wants to establish connections between Xinjiang’s industries and Pakistan, particularly in the Gilgit-Baltistan region. He suggested that solar energy, a significant industry in Xinjiang, could be one specific subject in this regard.
He said that we look forward to fostering ties between Xinjiang’s people and culture. He extended an invitation to visitors from Xinjiang and other regions of China to travel to Pakistan.
According to the prime minister, Xinjiang is particularly dear to Pakistanis because it is their neighbour and shares deep cultural and historical ties with us. He claimed that the Khunjerab border, which runs through this area and connects Pakistan and China, is more than just a line of demarcation. It serves as a critical link between the two powerful nations as well as a corridor for trade and transit.
He remarked that in order to improve the quality of life for the people in our region, we will collaborate to determine the unique strengths of Xinjiang and Gilgit-Baltistan.
The Prime Minister declared that our land border at Khunjerab will be transformed into an all-weather frontier in accordance with the consensus reached in Beijing. To improve trade and human mobility, we would like to enhance customs and other logistical services. He claimed that Pakistan wants to take advantage of Xinjiang’s status as a significant endorsement of CPEC and its connections to Pakistan.
The connection between China and Pakistan, according to the prime minister, is exceptional. It is based on the mutual respect, trust, and shared aspirations of our two nations’ peoples, all of which have been fostered by successive generations of our leaders.
According to Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, Pakistan sees its relations with China in a strategic, long-term light. He asserted that the relationship between Pakistan and China is and always will be a constant in the ever-evolving world. He stated that the two nations have given great attention to the economic relationship represented by CPEC, building on the success of our political ties.
The Prime Minister also went to the Xinjiang University History Museum, where he received information about the 99-year-old institution’s past.
