Hello friends! 😊
Did you hear about the big friendship between Pakistan and China? They are working together on huge projects to help both countries grow and become better places! Let’s dive in and learn more.
Pakistan’s Minister for Planning, Development and Special Initiatives, Mr. Ahsan Iqbal, shared some exciting news. He talked about the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, or CPEC (we say it like “see-pek”). CPEC is a super important project that shows how strong the friendship is between Pakistan and China.
So, what is CPEC? 🤔
Imagine a giant road that connects two countries, helping them trade goods, share ideas, and work together easily. That’s what CPEC is all about! It started in 2013, and it’s part of a bigger plan called the Belt and Road Initiative.
This project connects Gwadar Port in Pakistan all the way to a city called Kashgar in China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (that’s a special area in China). By building roads, railways, and improving technology, both countries can help their people live better lives.
At a fun ceremony in Islamabad, Pakistan’s capital city, they celebrated Chinese New Year and thanked 30 amazing Chinese workers who have worked hard on these projects. There were colorful dances and performances from both Pakistani and Chinese artists! 🥳
Minister Iqbal praised the Chinese workers for their dedication and skills. He said they have turned big dreams into real things we can touch and use! From making electricity to building roads and improving technology, their hard work is making a big difference.
Now, CPEC is moving into a new phase. This means they’re starting new projects like improving farming, using better technology, and creating lots of new jobs. This will help people find work and make life even better in Pakistan.
The Chinese ambassador to Pakistan, Mr. Jiang Zaidong, also spoke at the event. He believes that Pakistan’s economy will keep growing stronger because of the teamwork between the two countries.
Isn’t it awesome how countries can be friends and help each other out? Maybe someday, you can be part of big projects that make the world a better place too! 🌏🚀
