BEIJING (December 27 2008): China is keen to help boost Pakistan's economy with closer co-operation in the fields of hydropower generation, hybrid seed development, irrigation and water conservancy. Pakistan's Ambassador to China Masood Khan, who visited Wuhan - the capital city of Hubei province - at the invitation of its Governor Li Hong Zhong and Yichan where the largest hydropower project Three Gorges Dam is situated, told newsmen about prospects of such co-operation in an interview on Friday. Hubei province is the industrial hub of China. It specialises in areas of automobile manufacturing, steel, construction and fibre optics. Director General of the Agricultural Chen Binhuai in a meeting with Ambassador Khan said Hubei province would like to work closer with Pakistan in the field of agriculture to enhance per acre yield so that Pakistan could meet its growing agriculture demand. He said that by setting up joint ventures the agriculture products could also be exported to various countries from Pakistan. Ambassador Khan was also invited to visit the Three Gorges Dam, where the General Manager of the project Li An Yong said that China was ready in sharing technology and expertise for setting up large scale Hydro electric generation projects in Pakistan. Three Georges Dam is the world largest hydropower generation project with installed capacity of 22000 MW. Over 40 Pakistani students studying in Wuhan University and Wuhan Science and Technology University also met with Ambassador Khan. Over 90 students were enrolled for undergraduate and postgraduate disciplines, ranging from medicine to agricultural research, science and technology and R&D. "The potential for co-operation between Pakistan and Hubei in industrial, agricultural and educational fields is immense. We will work consistently to tap this potential", Ambassador Khan said. |
