Pakistan, Xizang agree to deepen cooperation on climate action and environmental protection<\/strong><\/h3>\n

BEIJING: Pakistan and China’s Xizang Autonomous Region have agreed to strengthen cooperation in environmental protection, climate change<\/a>, and sustainable development following a meeting between Federal Minister for Climate Change and Environmental Coordination Dr. Musadik Masood Malik and Xizang Vice Chairman Xu Zhitao.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The meeting took place on the sidelines of the 5th China-Xizang Trans-Himalaya Forum for International Cooperation, where both sides explored opportunities to expand collaboration in ecological conservation, scientific research, innovation, biodiversity protection, and mountain ecosystem management.<\/p>\n

Welcoming the Pakistani delegation, Xu Zhitao highlighted Xizang’s economic development, cultural heritage, and ecological achievements, saying the region has adopted a development model centred on environmental conservation. He noted that Xizang is home to 47 national parks and has achieved significant socio-economic progress while maintaining environmental protection as a key priority.<\/p>\n

The vice chairman also underscored the region’s cultural and religious diversity, including the longstanding presence of a small Muslim community of Kashmiri origin.<\/p>\n

Dr. Malik thanked the Xizang authorities for their hospitality and reaffirmed the strong Strategic Cooperative Partnership between Pakistan and China.<\/p>\n

He said Pakistan and Xizang share similar mountainous ecosystems, creating opportunities for greater collaboration through knowledge exchange and institutional partnerships, according to China Economic Net.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, both sides discussed enhancing cooperation in climate resilience, scientific research, technological innovation, biodiversity conservation, and the protection of fragile mountain ecosystems.<\/p>\n

They also explored prospects for collaboration in traditional medicine and research, noting that several medicinal practices associated with Tibetan medicine are also found in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan region, offering potential for joint academic and scientific initiatives.<\/p>\n

Dr. Malik expressed confidence that expanded cooperation in climate action, environmental protection, and scientific research would further strengthen the longstanding friendship and strategic partnership between Pakistan and China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
