Caretaker Sindh Chief Minister Justice (Retd) Maqbool Baqar has welcomed the Chinese Naval Fleet at the beautiful city of Karachi Port (East Wharf) and urged Chinese personnel to visit this megalopolis, which takes pride in its long history of old as well as modern eras protected by its seaport, old and new buildings, its cuisine and even its people.
I would say that Karachi is a beautiful blend of urban and rural, old and modern lifestyle.He said while speaking at a reception the Chinese Consul General Yang Yundong had hosted for the Chinese Naval Fleet at East Wharf.
The reception was attended by Home Minister Brig (Retd) Haris Nawaz, Vice Admiral Mouhammad Faisal, Chinese Navy Fleet Commander Sun Bo and others. The beauty of Karachi and its pleasant breeze in this open sea also welcome the fleet from China.
He added that the people of Pakistan and China were already connected with mutual respect, love, and fraternity but the CPEC-related connectivity has narrowed the distance of travel, development, and cooperation altogether. “Under the CPEC and non-CPEC projects, Sindh has become home to our Chinese brothers,” he said.The caretaker chief minister while addressing Consul General of China Yang Yundong, Commander Fleet Sun Bo and other Chinese and Pakistani friends shared his experience of his recent visit to Beijing.“During my stay in Beijing, I visited business centers, and restaurants walked on the roads, travelled in subways, buses and cars and went shopping – I witnessed and observed through the interaction and the visits that China has surpassed all the targets set for human development, apart from development in Science and Technology,” the CM said and added that the philosophy Mr Xi has developed was based on sharing his human development experience with other nations through his CPEC and One-Belt-One- Road, the mega development projects ever witnessed in human history.Justice Baqar said that the Chinese Navy’s fleet visit to Karachi-Pakistan was bound to enhance maritime collaboration between the two navies, Pakistan and China, he said and added that such visits promote peace and security in the region, enhance maritime collaboration and open new avenues of bilateral cooperation between the friendly countries.
