Pakistan to export seafood to China via land route

PESHAWAR: The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government has started offering free of cost Chinese language courses for the youth in five technical institutions to enable them to secure a job in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project.

The provincial government took the initiative after talks between Chief Minister Pervez Khattak and a Chinese delegation, said Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (TEVTA-KP) Chairman and CM’s Special Assistant Arshad Ali Umarzai while talking to The Express Tribune.

Exporting manpower is a good thing. Our population is increasing rapidly and exporting manpower will lead to more remittance in Pakistan.
