Pakistan is seeking to deepen cooperation with China in areas including digital transformation, green energy, smart agriculture, and technological innovation, Pakistan’s Minister Press & Culture at the Embassy of Pakistan in China, Manzoor Ali Memon, said on Wednesday.
Speaking at a forum during the 2026 World Internet Conference Wuzhen Summit, Memon addressed the Forum on Digital and Intelligent Technologies for Green and Low-Carbon Development. He stated that the cooperation between the two nations provides a strong foundation for advancing sustainable development. Memon highlighted the potential to combine China’s technological capabilities with Pakistan’s human resources, strategic location, and emerging digital ecosystem.
Memon noted that Pakistan and China are celebrating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations this year. He described the relationship as an all-weather strategic cooperative partnership built on mutual trust, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to development and prosperity.
Regarding infrastructure, Memon said the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) had strengthened infrastructure, expanded energy capacity, and enhanced regional connectivity. He stated that CPEC 2.0 is opening new avenues for cooperation through five corridors focused on growth, innovation, green development, livelihoods, and regional connectivity. These priorities align with Pakistan’s 5Es framework, which covers exports, e-Pakistan, energy and environment, and equity and empowerment under the Uraan Pakistan development program.
The next phase of cooperation will extend beyond traditional infrastructure into industrial development, agricultural modernization, renewable energy, technological innovation, and digital transformation, Memon said. He also highlighted opportunities in energy storage, electric mobility, and smart technologies, encouraging Chinese experts and enterprises to explore partnerships with Pakistani counterparts to build a more efficient and sustainable energy system.
Agriculture was identified by Memon as a particularly promising area for bilateral cooperation as both countries seek to strengthen food security, improve productivity, and address the effects of climate change. He noted that the ongoing training of 1,000 Pakistani agricultural professionals at Chinese universities is an important investment in Pakistan’s agricultural future, adding that exposure to advanced technologies and modern farming techniques would help the professionals contribute to agricultural modernization after returning home.
