Ambassador Hashmi attends closing ceremony of Agricultural Training Program in China

Beijing: Pakistan’s Ambassador to China, Khalil Hashmi, attended the closing ceremonies for the first cohort of Pakistani agricultural professionals trained in China under the Prime Minister’s Initiative for Capacity Building of 1,000 Agricultural Professionals. The training took place in the Yangling Hi-Tech Agricultural Demonstration Zone.

The inaugural batch, comprising approximately 300 participants, was enrolled across two Chinese universities and received training in key areas critical to Pakistan’s agricultural development, including smart irrigation, post-harvest loss prevention, animal breeding, and water conservation.

Speaking at both ceremonies, Ambassador Hashmi noted that the event marked more than the conclusion of a training program — it signaled the start of a deeper, more meaningful chapter in Pakistan-China agricultural cooperation.

He emphasized that the graduation of these professionals reflects the two countries’ commitment to implementing the vision set forth by their leadership.

The ambassador expressed hope that the returning professionals would serve as catalysts for innovation and progress, equipped with both technical expertise and the pioneering spirit inspired by Yangling’s agricultural advancements.
