SHANDONG - Sino-Pak bilateral relations would touch new heights during the next four years since leadership from both the countries has decided to pace up the development of Gwadar Port to provide China a shorter route and easy excess to world markets to dispatch its goods to remote destinations.

It may be recalled that India and the United States had unleashed negative propaganda alleging that China is building up a naval base at Gwadar which would be a serious threat to the South Asian regional peace. Pakistan and China had, time and again, denied any such plan clarifying that the seaport was being developed for commercial purposes all along. The American pressure on Pakistan, however, slowed down the pace of work on this gigantic project.

Beijing welcomes the recent statement by Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani that troops would be withdrawn from Balochistan. It feels this would resolve the law and order situation in that province and pave the way for speeding up the completion of this vital seaport.

At the same tim,e the two sides have also decided to increase their cooperation in the field of defence production and energy sectors. While China has extended a helping hand to cooperate in hydroelectric projects, it is pacing up work on early commissioning of Chashma-2 nuclear power project.

Beijing is also considering positively a request from Islamabad to fasten work on completion of remaining four nuclear power plants of 300 megawatt capacity each.

Under the agreement, China would supply remaining plants by the end of year 2016 and they would be commissioned by the end of year 2020, reliable sources here confided to The Nation.

Chinese official seldom speak about the nature and extent of cooperation with Pakistan know since it would hurt the Indians and the Americans.

Diplomatic sources said the two sides are reviewing possible expansion of Kamra Rebuild Factory for increasing the production of F-17 Thunder aircraft under a joint agreement since Pakistan is keen to initially export these flying machines to friendly Muslim states.

Sentiments witnessed by a visiting media delegation from Pakistan during their interaction with top-ranking Chinese officials indicate that Beijing is willing to extend cooperation in all spheres of life within the purview of the bilateral relations.

Both Pakistan and China had decided to celebrate the year 2011 as 60th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic ties. The enthusiasm demonstrated by top Chinese policy-makers is very encouraging and it is certain that Pakistan would be largely benefitted.

The enthusiasm was also fully demonstrated during the visit to China by Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif to sign several Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) for launching various projects with Beijing’s cooperation and assistance.

Currently a 100-member youth delegation is visiting China as part of an exchange programme. During their month’s stay, they would interact with top government and party officials and would also be taken to different regions to witness China’s progress.


:pakistan::china:
 
Yes, Gen Kayani has launched an ambitious plan to integrate the desolation of Baluchistan which will cool down the rebellious sentiments incited by local war / drug lords for their own supremacy. Which has resulted in numerous attacks and kidnapping of engineers assigned to this project which greatly slowed down the work. Also Gawadr should be built with Baluch labours to provide local jobs.
 


BEIJING, April 24 (APP): Ambassador Masood Khan has said that it was imperative for the youth of Pakistan to learn the secret of China’s success and try to implement it in Pakistan to make their country strong and prosperous. He was addressing a reception welcoming the 100-member delegation comprising young men and women from all provinces as well as Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan at the Pakistan’s Embassy Sunday.

Ambassador Khan said that the programme for exchange of youth delegations from both the countries was announced in 2006 during Chinese President Hu Jintao’s visit to Pakistan.

He further said that the sapling of the strong friendship between Pakistan and China was planted by our forefathers 60 years ago and it was nurtured with the passage of time till it became a full grown tree today.

Now, he said, it is the responsibility of the youth of the two countries to further strengthen this bond of friendship and take it to new heights.

“These relations are higher than mountains, deeper than oceans, sweeter than honey and stronger than steel,” he said while tracing the history of Pakistan-China friendship.

He said the youth delegation will meet Chinese leadership and people representing various walks of life. This would enable them to learn from their own experience as to what made China the second economy in the shortest period of time.

Earlier, Joint Secretary of Economic Affairs Division of Pakistan, Mohammad Asif in his remarks thanked Ambassador Masood Khan for inviting the delegation to Pakistan Embassy and said that every effort has been made to ensure merit-based representation of all parts of Pakistan in the delegation.
Besides Beijing, the delegation which is visiting China at the invitation of All China Youth Federation, would also travel to Jiangxi, Guangdong and Hong Kong.

A 100-member youth delegation of Pakistan left Islambad for China Thursday on a week-long visit aimed at boosting exchanges between the two friendly nations and marking the 60th anniversary of their diplomatic ties.

"The youths from all walks of life in Pakistan will have a good chance to look at China and know more about Chinese people and its culture," Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Liu Jian told the delegation at a see-off reception.

In November 2006, Chinese President Hu Jintao invited 500 young people from Pakistan to visit China within five years when he paid a state visit to Pakistan. In response, the Pakistani government also invited 500 Chinese youths to Pakistan. The program was launched in 2007.

"The youth exchange program is aimed at increasing mutual understanding between the two countries and peoples, especially in the Pakistan-China Friendship Year 2011," said Liu.

Pakistani Additional Foreign Secretary Hasan Javed expressed the hope that the delegation members could take the opportunity to learn from "friendly China" and help enhance "time-tested friendship" between the two countries.

"I appreciate the Chinese government for the chance to visit," said Syed Udin, a university student from Hunza, north Pakistan. " We will work hard to make our own contribution to Pakistan-China friendship," he said.

The youth delegation is scheduled to visit Beijing, Jiangxi and Guangdong from April 22 to 29.

In January, the third batch of Chinese youth group visited Pakistan.
