The Chinese President, Xi Jinping, wrote back to Pakistani students studying in Beijing and encouraged them to promote youth exchanges and understanding.

China welcomes outstanding young people from around the world to study in China, and encourages them to promote people-to-people and cultural exchanges between China and their home countries, President Xi remarked in his letter on May 17.  
According to the state media, President Xi said that the Chinese government, as well as universities and schools, were always concerned about the safety and health of overseas students having offered to help meet students' needs in their daily lives, epidemic prevention and medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The Chinese government treats foreigners and locals equally, President Xi stressed and the focus has been on saving lives. 

There are currently 52 Pakistani students studying at the University of Science and Technology in Beijing and 49 of them are pursuing PhD or post-graduate degrees. 

Earlier, the students wrote a letter to President Xi expressing gratitude for the support and help they had received from the university. They expressed their desire to devote themselves to the construction of the Belt and Road after graduation and contribute to the Pakistan-China friendship. 

Meanwhile, the spokesperson of Chinese foreign ministry, Zhao Lijian, while replying to a question said that President Xi Jinping, in his reply to the letter, stated that they had learned a wealth of knowledge and made a lot of Chinese friends since they came to study in China. 

“I am pleased with your achievements. As you can feel, after the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia, the Chinese government and educational institutions have always been concerned about the safety and health of foreign students studying in China, and have provided with all-round help. For the supremacy of life, whether it is Chinese or foreign personnel in China, the Chinese government and the Chinese people treat and care them equally,” the President observed.

“I learned that during the fight against the epidemic many foreign students cheered for the Chinese people through various means. See the truth in trouble. China will continue to provide all kinds of assistance to all foreign students in China,” he wrote, adding that China welcomed outstanding young people from all over the world to study in China. 

He hoped that the students will learn more about China and talk to the world about what they have seen, communicate with the Chinese youth, work with young people from all over the world, and work together to promote people-to-people communication and build humanity.

Dr. Zeelaf Munir Calls for Supply Chain Reforms to Strengthen Pakistan’s Food Security at Breathe Pakistan 2026

  Karachi: At the recently held Breathe Pakistan 2026 conference, where EBM participated as the principal partner, the company’s Managing Director and CEO Dr. Zeelaf Munir emphasized the urgent need to rebuild Pakistan’s agricultural supply chain to ensure long-term food security and sustainable development. Addressing participants at the event, Dr. Zeelaf Munir stated that while initiatives such as improved seeds, affordable credit facilities, and crop insurance are important, they alone cannot transform the lives of smallholder farmers unless the supply chain that follows agricultural production is fundamentally restructured. She highlighted that Pakistan’s food security is being “made or lost” within the post-farm supply chain, stressing that inefficiencies in storage, transportation, distribution, and market access continue to limit the benefits reaching farmers and consumers alike. Dr. Munir further noted that the transformation required in Pakistan’s agri-food sector must ...
