ISLAMABAD/BEIJING – Ten Pakistanis have started a two-year postgraduate course at a Chinese university as part of a commercial sponsorship programme to offer full scholarships for 100 Pakistani transport personnel in the coming five years.

The programme is funded by China Road and Bridge Corporation (CRBC). The first batch of the ten students will attend Southeast University in Nanjing, capital of east China’s Jiangsu Province, China.org.cn reported on Tuesday.

The scheme provides an opportunity for Pakistani government staff, technicians and graduates to study construction and operation of bridges and roads at Chinese universities, according to Lu Shan, chairman of CRBC.

“The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is not only a corridor of physical connectivity, but also one of people-to-people exchanges,” said Chen Shuai, an official with the National Development and Reform Commission.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is an important part of China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative to build a trade and infrastructure network connecting Asia with Europe and Africa along — and beyond — the ancient Silk Road trade routes.–APP

BEIJING – Russia and Pakistan rank first and second on a list of 64 countries and regions in terms of cooperation with China under the Belt and Road Initiative, according to a report released by the Chinese State Information Center.

Based on more than 500 billion items of information collected by major statistical organisations and internet channels, the Belt and Road Initiative Big Data Report 2017 analysed five aspects of cooperation between China and the 64 countries and regions – policy communication, connectivity, trade, finance and public support – and used eight indicators to evaluate the cooperation level.

Domestically, Guangdong, Fujian, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Shandong are the top five provinces and municipalities regarded as “highly participating” in the initiative, according to the report.

Participation by western regions will soon intensify, as those regions have high potential, the report added.–APP
