ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and China have signed multiple memorandums of understanding (MoUs) aimed at strengthening cooperation in agriculture, environmental protection and mass transit, President Asif Ali Zardari’s office said on Tuesday, marking a new phase in bilateral collaboration between both countries.
The first MoU was related to the development of a Controlled Agriculture Science and Education Park to enhance agricultural production efficiency and strengthen food security.
The second one related to the construction of Shennong College, a vocational institute in Pakistan, to provide advanced integrated technology and training to farmers. The third agreement was about a Tyre Recycling Project, promoting environmentally sustainable waste management practices.
“These MoUs reflect a practical step toward strengthened cooperation between Pakistan and China in agriculture, technology, and environmental management,” President Zardari’s office quoted his as saying on the occasion.
President Zardari has been in China on a ten-day visit since Sept. 12, following an official trip to China by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif during which Islamabad signed investment agreements and joint ventures worth $8.5 billion with Beijing.
