KARACHI – Chinese Consulate General in port city of Karachi organized seminar “China at 75” which was attended by a large number of dignitaries, professionals and media persons from the print and electronic media.

HE Mr.Yang Yundong, Counsel General of China, Dr Junaid Ahmad, author of recently published book “China Leads” Dr Zhang Jiegen, Prof. of Fudan University and Dr Guo Xuetang, Prof of Shanghai University of International Business and Economics on video link and by Dr Muhammad Ali Sheikh, former VC of SMIU attended the event.

Chinese Counsel General said China has achieved remarkable economic and social development growing at 8.9% per year for the last 45 years. This has made China World’s largest industrial manufacturer, largest trading nation, largest foreign exchange reserve holder and the second largest economy. China has achieved this in a few decades which the Western countries took several centuries.

Beijing is still far from being a developed country, and in the last National Congress of CPC, it has been decided that in spite of all economic development China will always be a member of the developing world, striving for the common rights and interests of the vast number of developing counties.

Currently, China-Pakistan iron-clad friendship is everlasting and ever-refreshing. The Pakistan-China relationship is of strategic significance. Both sides firmly support each other’s core interests and development paths, the China-Pakistan relationship has always been a priority in China’s foreign relations. Any attempt to disrupt or undermine Pakistan-China cooperation is bound to fail. The two sides will continuously strengthen practical cooperation across various fields, Mr.Yang Yundong said.

Dr Junaid Ahmad, author of China Leads shared his candid views that China has never invaded any countries. He showed a comparison of China with 5 other leading countries (Russia, USA, Canada, Brazil and India) in the areas of infrastructure, productive and social sectors. He showed many slides and tables showing the superiority of China over the other 5 leading countries. He emphasized that China has been a true friend to Pakistan, who has helped Pakistan in many areas and has never interfered in the internal affairs of the country. Pakistan should align itself with China directly and closely.

The two Chinese professors explained the path followed by China to achieve its present state of development and as to how it plans to improve further.

Former vice chancellor of SMIU, Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh, stressed the need for enhancing cooperation between China and Pakistan in the field of education. He presented an overview of the education systems prevailing in China and Pakistan, highlighting their convergences and divergences. He was of the view that Pakistan can learn a lot from China’s vibrant technical and vocational education programs, which paved China’s way towards industrial development. He said that Pakistan can also learn from China who achieved almost 100 percent enrolment in compulsory education while Pakistan was still struggling with the second largest number in the world of out of school children. He said the relations between two brotherly countries can best be strengthened through people to people contact through education.
