Islamabad
China and Pakistan need to develop educational and cultural corridor at the people-to-people level to implement socio-economic agenda and take benefit of their fast-growing friendship in letter and spirit.
Such cooperation could be in line with the China-Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC), said Madam Bao Jiqing wife of Chinese ambassador to Pakistan while talking with eight-member women delegation which recently paid a two-week visit to Chinese cities Chengdu, Shanghai and Beijing. She called for constructing and strengthening bonds of friendship at the gross-root level through social-cultural exchanges.
China, she said will encourage maximum cooperation and bilateral exchanges between the two countries in the fields of education, health, tourism and culture. This, said will help deepen the warmth of our relationship and transfer the same to new generation.

She hoped the women delegation will share knowledge and experience about their visit to China with their fellow colleagues, particularly the youth.
The women delegation, which represented a cross-section of the society, thanked the ambassador’s wife for her keenness and personal efforts in promoting their interaction with the counterpart organisations in China.
