Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has expressed his satisfaction following the successful completion of hands-on training for around 300 Pakistani agriculture graduates in China.

He further stated that the training focused on crucial areas such as water-saving irrigation, seed production, animal husbandry, agricultural production, and the prevention of post-harvest losses.

In a post on his X account, he extended his gratitude to the Chinese leadership, the Shaanxi government, and the two participating universities, while also acknowledging the efforts of the Ministry of National Food Security, the Higher Education Commission (HEC), and the Embassy in Beijing.

Sharif noted that this group is part of a larger training program for 1,000 Pakistani agriculture graduates, which he announced during his visit to China in June of the previous year.

During his June 2024 trip, PM Shehbaz was accompanied by Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and several senior cabinet ministers. His visit included stops in Beijing, Xi’an, and Shenzhen.

The Prime Minister met with President Xi Jinping and engaged in delegation-level talks with Premier Li Qiang. He also held discussions with Zhao Leji, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, and other key government officials.

A significant aspect of his visit was meetings with executives from leading Chinese companies in sectors such as oil and gas, energy, ICT, and emerging technologies.

In Shenzhen, he addressed the China-Pakistan Business Forum, interacting with prominent business leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors from both nations.

Additionally, he toured various Economic and Agricultural Zones in China.
