In recent years, China and Pakistan have enhanced their cultural exchanges through the exchange of cultural delegations and training of international students. Now, 10 college students from Gwadar Institute of Technology (GIT) majoring in road and bridge engineering are in their third month of study in China.
“China has an extensive transportation network and is well-skilled in the construction of railways, highways, bridges, and tunnels. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to study engineering in China,” said one of the students. “China is an open and inclusive country, and its technology and experience can help Pakistan improve its infrastructure.
My uncle worked in urban planning and construction in Balochistan and participated in China-Pakistan cooperation projects. I dreamed of becoming an engineer like him and hope to apply the new materials, machinery, and techniques I learned in China to the construction industry in Pakistan,” added the student. The students, hailing from various areas of Makran, completed their 3-year diploma in civil technology from GIT.
