“The Red Cross Society of China will provide $300,000 in emergency cash assistance to the Pakistan Red Crescent Society,” the statement added.

Since June 14, over 700 people have died as a result of devastating floods triggered by torrential downpours in southern and northern Pakistan.

ISLAMABAD, Aug 25 (APP):Federal Minister for Planning Development & Special Initiatives Professor Ahsan Iqbal on Thursday appreciated the All Pakistan Chinese Enterprises Association (APECA) for donating Rs 15.5 million to the Prime Minister’s Flood Relief Fund.

“This year, Pakistan has received above average rainfall in the monsoon season. Climate change has hit the country in a big way,” he said in a statement.

“We are one of the lowest carbon footprint producing country yet we are also among the top 10 countries that are vulnerable to climate change,” he added.

The minister observed that the recent rains were unprecedented as Sindh had received more than 400% and Balochistan 370% rainfall, leaving the two provinces to be the badly affected.

Ahsan Iqbal said China was an all weather friend of Pakistan, which always stood shoulder to shoulder whether it was emergency or calamity, or whether it was some economic crisis.

“The Chinese enterprises realizing their social responsibility donated over Rs 15 million to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund that speaks volume for the bonding between the two countries and acknowledgment of sufferings that the people of flood hit areas have gone through,” he remarked.

Moreover, the minister directed the stakeholders concerned to constitute a team of government doctors to provide medical treatment to the flood-affected people while observing that providing health facilities to the masses was the government’s top priority.

He issued the directions while reviewing the latest flood situation in the country.

Pakistan on Tuesday said it supports China’s efforts for socio-economic development, harmony and peace, and stability in Xinjiang, days after the United Nations released a report detailing a string of alleged rights violations against Uighurs and other minorities in the region.

The UN on Sep 1 released a major report into the alleged serious human rights abuses in Xinjiang region, saying torture allegations were credible and citing possible crimes against humanity, but stopping short of calling it genocide.

The long-awaited report brought the UN seal to many of the allegations long brought by activist groups, Western nations and the Uighur community in exile.

“The extent of arbitrary and discriminatory detention of members of Uighur and other predominantly Muslim groups … may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity,” the report had said.

It said the world must now pay “urgent attention” to the human rights situation in Xinjiang.

However, reacting to the report, the Foreign Office issued a statement today, saying: “Pakistan believes in the principles of the UN Charter including respect for political independence, sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs of states.”

The FO said it was Pakistan’s consistent position that non-politicisation, universality, objectivity, dialogue and constructive engagement should be the main tools to promote universal respect for human rights.

It underlined that China had succeeded in lifting over 700 million people out of poverty in the last 35 years, thus improving their living conditions and the enjoyment of fundamental human rights.

“We appreciate China’s constructive engagement with the UN human rights system as well as the OIC General Secretariat, as evidenced by visits of the former High Commissioner for Human Rights and OIC delegation to China,” it added.

The statement added that Pakistan reaffirmed its abiding commitment to advance all human rights universally in accordance with the principles of the UN Charter.
