By Zafar Hussain | Gwadar Pro Jun 20, 2022



BEIJING, June 20 (Gwadar Pro) - The first batch of 90 Pakistani students, who were stuck in Pakistan due to the COVID-19 pandemic, left Islamabad for Xi’an, China via Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), charter flight PK6854 on Monday.
A total of 105 students reached the Islamabad International Airport but 15 students failed to pass the PCR test and had to wait for the next flight.
In order to facilitate Pakistani students, this is a pilot project of sending the first batch of students back to China, whichhas been a tremendous team effort led by the federal minister of education and all other stakeholders, the Pakistan Ministry of Education stated.
Dr Asmat Malik requested all students to follow the strict standard operating procedure (SOP) that the remaining students' future is dependent on their successful journey.
"Alhamdolillah the student's pre-departure PCR tests are negative. Good luck for the 1st batch of Pak students. Rapid Test will be conducted on Nayab Lab Airport Desk within 12 hours of flight departure", he expressed.
Pakistani students showed happiness and expressed their emotional feelings at the airport.
Last month, Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari visited Guangzhou, where he thanked the Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi for the safe and secure return of Pakistani students in a phased manner to China.
During the meeting, the two sides also decided to resume a direct flight between the two countries carried out by Pakistan International Airlines at the earliest and subsequently increase direct flights based on the changinpandemic situation.

Strengthen Confidence in China-Pakistan Joint Academic Degrees Development: Expert

ISLAMABAD, June 21. (Gwadar Pro)- “A group of high-level talents with strict professional and cultural training is critical for the construction of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). China and Pakistan should strengthen cooperation and promote joint degrees to meet the needs of the two countries,” highlighted Prof. Tan Biyou from Hunan Normal University on Saturday.
On the 2nd South Asia Forum with the theme of “Pakistan in social transition” hosted by China-Pakistan Educational Cultural Institute (CPECI), Prof. Tan said that if engineers at all levels involved in management and operation do not truly understand the people at the bottom of Pakistan and do not know how to interact with them effectively and safely, it will bring great risk to the multibillion-dollar investment and pose a threat to the personal safety of Chinese managers.
In fact, talent is the most scarce resource for the Belt and Road Initiative, including CPEC. Prof. Tan emphasized the need to expand the scope of joint degree programs and cultivate more talents. He explained that, “A group of high-level talents proficient in Chinese and Pakistani culture, including masters and doctors, in the joint degree program jointly engaged by Chinese and Pakistani universities is a must.”
CPEC is a new development in the history of China-Pakistan exchanges. It not only promotes economic cooperation, but also brings about broad cooperation in education and culture. In this context, the joint degree was put on the agenda.
China-Pakistan cooperation in education has gone through a long period of exploration and has been continuous since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan in 1951.
Nevertheless, due to the different national conditions of the two countries, in the long historical period, China-Pakistan friendship is mainly limited to political and military cooperation, and the development of educational cooperation is relatively slow.
Since about 2003, the number of Pakistani students studying in China has been increasing. However, further collaboration between universities is generally limited.
In 2005, when China and Pakistan exchanged the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation, education was listed as a separate section for the first time.
The Confucius Institutes, which were widely established in Pakistan, were an important result of the treaty. The Confucius Institutes mainly carry out language teaching, not degree education.
In the Joint Statement on Strengthening China-Pakistan All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership, Building Closer China-Pakistan Community of Shared Future in the New Era issued in 2018, China and Pakistan agreed to encourage respective universities to develop bilateral linkages including through joint degree and exchange programmes.
On March 2022, China and Pakistan signed an agreement on mutual recognition of higher education certificates and degrees, providing study guarantee for international students from both countries and dispelling their concerns.
In terms of the future development direction of the joint degree, Prof. Tan believes that it is necessary to reinforce the confidence of the cooperation.
“We should decentralize the cooperation projects, minimize the number of projects, tilt the cooperation center toward the universities in Islamabad, and establish a regional center of appropriate size.” Prof. Tan concluded.

Swat University to set up Pak-China Research Centre of Economic Development​

By Tahir Ali | Gwadar Pro Jul 18, 2022



MINGORA,Jul.18(Gwadar Pro) - The Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) has allocated funds for the establishment of the Pak-China Research Centre of Economic Development (PCRCED) at the University of Swat.
With an estimated cost of Rs 1,230.540 million, the project will be completed in five years. In its budget for the fiscal year 2022-2023, KP has allocated Rs 56.420 million, while the balance will be released in the coming years.
The proposed Pak-China Research Centre will facilitate the study and research on diverse arts, cultures, history, and politics of China and the Swat valley. Through exchange programs, the Center can further enhance people-to-people contact between Swat valley and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China. They already have centuries-old cultural and business ties, as geographically Swat valley and Xinjiang are not far from each other -- only Gilgit-Baltistan lies between them.
“PCRCED will serve as a think tank and research center for research studies on matters of mutual interest between Pakistan and China,” the University of Swat Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Hassan Sher told Gwadar Pro, adding that the Center is expected to “contribute immensely to the students, people of the areas and the country”.
According to the Vice-Chancellor, the University of Swat is located on the main route of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which is a flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), thus increasing the value of the proposed institute. “The Center will also develop a mechanism to prepare graduates to fully exploit opportunities arising out of CPEC and related projects,” he said.
In the context of the "Pakistan Vision 2025" which emphasizes indigenous resources for economic development, Dr. Hassan Sher said that the Center would use local resources for the development of the local community and Pakistan as a whole.
Even as an idea, PCRCED is creating enthusiasm among the people of Swat. Once operational, it will not only help the development of Swat and neighboring areas, but also will give youth the great opportunity of working, earning, and remaining in their ancestral areas rather than undertaking internal or external migration -- which comes at great personal and national cost.
There are countless ways via which the center can contribute: training and developing local human resources required down the road in the implementation of CPEC long-term plan; and developing the capacity of other Pakistani universities to provide useful policy inputs to the Government relating to the CPEC long-term plan. The center can play an important role in understanding the history, culture, and governance systems that have made possible the "Chinese miracle" -- how in some seven decades, China lifted itself out of poverty to become a world power.
PCRCED wants to become a model mini-flagship project in the larger CPEC and BRI context and plans to be in touch with the Chinese Embassy in Islamabad in the near future, to revive and expand its centuries-old ties with China.

A sprawling Rose Garden is visible in the photo; It stretches along the road up to the end of frontline. It grows a wide variety of roses, planted with such a precision that viewers get a fantastic display of colours in flower arrangement. Total of nearly 250 samples of Roses..

There were many beautiful flowers and cactus plants from all over the world. Black and green roses in the rose garden.
The fragrance in air was just like a perfume from heaven.

Pakistan Forest Institute (PFI) was established in 1947 at Faisalabad in order to complete the training of the students who had migrated to Pakistan after independence. In April, 1948 the PFI was shifted to Upper Topa, Murree hills and then in October, 1951 to Abbottabad.

The construction of its present permanent building complex in the Peshawar University Campus was started in 1955 and completed over a period of about 10 years. During this period, main building consisting of offices, laboratories and workshops, students’ hostels and residential colony were constructed.

It started as a training institution, however, research was started soon after its establishment when research branches were created in it e.g., Forest Utilization (1947), Forest Entomology (1949), Forest Botany (1951), Forest Chemistry (1952), Medicinal Plants (1953) and Silviculture (1956). The staff of these branches also participate in training activities through teaching of the subjects of their specialization to the students of the Institute in addition to conducting research. The Institute is affiliated with the University of Peshawar since 1958 for the purpose of examinations and award of degrees in Forestry.

Pakistan Forest Institute is a Provincial Government Organization of which the administration changed hands many times. For instance, it was administered initially by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. It was transferred to the Provincial Agriculture Department of Government of West Pakistan in 1965, and then to the Agriculture Department of N.W.F.P. (Board of Governor) in 1969.

The Institute was transferred back to the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Cooperatives, Government of Pakistan on 1st July, 1977. From September, 1995 to February 1997, it remained under the control of Ministry of Environment, Urban Affairs, Forestry and Wildlife.

Since March, 1997 to 30th June, 2011 it was under Ministry of Environment, Government of Pakistan, Islamabad. The institute has been devolved to Forestry, Environment and Wildlife Department, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with effect from 1st July, 2011.

Chinese teachers impart e-commerce skills​

By Staff Reporter | The Express Tribune Jul 27, 2022



KARACHI:
China is helping two state-run institutions offer online courses to help people sell products and services in the Chinese market.
Dawood Engineering University and Sindh Technical Board jointly launched several courses to develop Chinese entrepreneurship among the youth with the collaboration of China. Under the programme, Chinese teachers and business professionals are providing online classes on Chinese business entrepreneurship and expanding Pakistani product marketing. The business courses will also teach the youth about global business trends worldwide.
Sindh Technical Board Chairman Dr Masroor Shaikh told The Express Tribune that Technical Board and Dawood Engineering University are jointly conducting these courses with the assistance of Hunan Chemical and Vocational Technical College, China.

Besides encouraging the young generation to establish a business, the course will teach them how to operate a low-cost online business, he said. Sheikh further said that the Chinese companies are increasing the daily hiring well informed and technology-trained English-speaking workforce. BRI acts as the foundation for online sales and cross-border e-commerce activities in 152 other countries to sell Chinese products and services.
