QUETTA: The Consul General of the People’s Republic China at Karachi, Wang Yu, gifted goods worth US$0.2 million, including boat power engines, solar lights, small home solar systems and fishing nets to the fishermen of Gwadar.
The Consul General, Wang Yu, presented the goods at a ceremony in Karachi to Khudadad Wajo, Chairman of the Gwadar Fishermen Alliance and fishermen representatives. Sardar Shoukat Popalzai, President of Baluchistan Economic Forum, and others were also present at the function.
Addressing on the occasion, the Consul General said China and Pakistan relationship is turning out to be a success story. Over the years, this unique friendship has transformed into a strong strategic partnership aspiring to have robust economic cooperation and increasing people-to-people contacts, he added. Wang Yu said the strategic ties have been on an upward trajectory with thrust on economic interaction after the initiation of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
