The Government of China has appointed Ms. Gulmina Bilal, Chairperson of Pakistan’s National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC), as the first Chairperson of the China Global Professional and Technical Certification Center (CGPTC), marking a significant milestone for Pakistan as it assumes leadership of this newly established international body.
According to details, the Government of China has formally established the China Global Professional and Technical Certification Center as a multilateral platform, with China, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and Malaysia joining as founding members. In the next phase, countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are also planned to be included in the platform.
The establishment of CGPTC aims to promote mutual recognition of professional and technical skills and qualifications among participating countries, harmonize certification standards, and facilitate cross-border mobility of skilled human resources. The Center is being viewed as a major step toward building a shared skills ecosystem across Asia and the Middle East. Through this initiative, member countries will work together to develop mutually recognized educational and professional qualification frameworks, enhance skills portability, and expand employment opportunities.
