According to sources privy to details regarding vaccine arrival, 1.2 million doses of the Chinese vaccine will reach Islamabad on May 16. ―The doses included a million jabs of China‘s Sinovac vaccine and 200,000 jabs of single-dose CanSino,‖ they said. The sources further shared that another batch of two million Covid vaccine-Sinovac- will reach Islamabad on May 21. Pakistan is already vaccinating its population over 40-year old besides the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) on Wednesday allowing citizens aged 30 and above to sign up for Covid-19 vaccination from Sunday (May 16). https://www.brecorder.com/news/40092445 Daily Times Pakistan seeks China’s role to stop Israeli attacks on Palestine Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Saturday had a telephone conversation with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and shared Pakistan‘s profound concern over deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. During the conversation, both the foreign ministers discussed the Palestinian issue, peace process in Afghanistan, and Pakistan-China relations, a Foreign Office statement said. Foreign Minister Qureshi said the humanitarian situation in Palestine was becoming a major threat to peace and security of Middle East. He added that the violent attacks perpetrated by Israeli forces against the innocent worshipers in Al-Aqsa Mosque and unarmed civilians and the children in the occupied territories, were against humanitarian norms as well as the international law. Qureshi underlined the importance of urgent steps by the international community to stop the Israeli attacks, protect the civilian population, facilitate engagement of the parties, and ensure just and lasting solution based on relevant UNSC resolutions and the two-state vision. He also briefed Wang Yi about Prime Minister Imran Khan‘s outreach to world leaders in addressing the current serious situation. Qureshi congratulated Chinese leadership and its people for successful landing of Chinese spacecraft at Mars and underlined that it was a historic milestone for China in the technological realm. He underscored that the year 2021 had a special significance as it marked 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries. ―Over the years, our bilateral relationship has turned into an all-weather strategic cooperative partnership,‖ he added. 3 Foreign Minister Qureshi stressed that Pakistan supported an Afghan-led and Afghan-owned peace and reconciliation process in Afghanistan. He highlighted Pakistan‘s contribution to the Afghan peace process and its support for a peaceful, stable and prosperous Afghanistan. Underscoring the importance of a responsible withdrawal, reduction in violence, and earliest possible ceasefire, the foreign minister stressed the need for the Afghan parties to seize the opportunity to work together and secure a negotiated inclusive political solution. https://dailytimes.com.pk/756300/pakistan-seeks-chinas-role-to-stop-israeli-attacks-on-palestine/ CGGC integrates itself into Pakistan-China cooperation mechanism China Gezhouba Group Company (CGGC) will integrate itself into China and Pakistan‘s overall cooperation and contribute more to Pakistan‘s economic and social development, said Chen Xiaohua, President of CGGC. Chen made the remarks when meeting with Pakistani Ambassador to China Moin ul Haque in Wuhan, according to report published by China Economic Net (CEN). Haque noted that a number of key projects invested and constructed by CGGC have played an important role in boosting Pakistan‘s economic growth and creating jobs. He expected CGGC to continue engaging in the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and write a new chapter for Pak-China friendship. CGGC first entered Pakistan in 2003 and started Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project, its first hydropower project in 2008, according to Lyu Xiufeng, General Manager of Pakistan Branch of CGGC. Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Project is called as Pakistan‘s Three Gorges project (China‘s massive multi-functional water control facility on the Yangtze River, also the world‘s largest hydroelectric power project). It took one decade for CGGC to complete this mega project because of its a high difficulty level of construction with 90 percent of the construction lying underground in high mountainous areas. During 2008-2018, workers of CGGC had overcome one obstacle after another, by world-class technology, excellent capability and unremitting efforts.To ensure Neelum-Jhelum project‘s security, CGGC chose the scheme of low dam and long diversion tunnel when designing the dam type. The length of its diversion tunnel is 68 kilometers, rare in the world. The hardest part, about 17 km, to construct, is beneath a mountain. By the conventional drilling and blasting method, it would face huge challenges and its construction process would also prolong. To solve the world-class technological problem of constructing this super long diversion tunnel, CGGC decided to use the state-of-the-art tunnel boring machine (TBM) in Pakistan for the first time. Many famous experts in rock and soil mechanics and geologists once said that there had been no successful precedent of TBM tunneling in the Himalayas range, the youngest and most geologically active region in the world. Anyone who could successfully use TBM in the Himalayas would make history in tunnel construction. 4 In 2012, Pakistan‘s first TBM came to the site of the Neelum-Jhelum hydroelectric project. Besides the technological problems, the Neelum-Jhelum project had been hit by four major natural disasters during the decade, each of which had pushed the project to the brink of failure, according to Feng Xinglong, vice general manager of CGGC, in charge of this project during March 2009 to December 2013. https://dailytimes.com.pk/756402/cggc-integrates-itself-into-pakistan-china-cooperation- mechanism/ Dawn News Mechanism urged for Pak-China cultural promotion ISLAMABAD: Speaking at the re-launching of social and cultural network ‗Friends of China‘ on Saturday, the experts urged the governments of Pakistan and China to work on the establishment of mechanisms for cultural promotion and social integration. The cultural experts and practitioners shall lead the collaboration backed and facilitated by the governments. They said both the countries are ‗iron friends‘ for the last seven decades but the culture of both countries is less known to the people on both sides. Cultural performances and arts showcasing shall replace fusion of recreation of culture, learning and understanding each other based on the cultural heritage, they said. They maintained that the pandemic time shall be used for planning and development of the mechanisms to boost cultural ties and social integration based on the learning. The Friends of China is an initiative of Development Communications Network (Devcom- Pakistan) initially launched in 2011 under the chairmanship of former senator and ambassador late Muhammad Akram Zaki. Guest speakers on the virtual re-launching of Friends of China included founder Ajoka Theatre and former managing director PTV Shahid Mahmood Nadeem (Lahore), cultural activist and founder Tahreek-i- Niswan Cultural Group Sheema Kermani (Karachi), CEO Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Board of Investment and Trade (KPBIOT) Hassan Daud Butt (Peshawar), geopolitical commentator and filmmaker Reham Khan (London), journalist and broadcaster Zoon Ahmad Khan (Beijing) and others. Shahid Mahmood Nadeem said very little is done to explore the cultural ties based on in-depth learning of civilizations and heritage of both countries. Only cultural performances won‘t work in the contemporary work where market mechanisms have made the culture backbone of bilateral political and economic collaborations. He suggested a hierarchy under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC ) comprising experts from the private sector with sector-wise sub-committees for each discipline of arts and culture. 5 He suggested that Friends of China can play a networking role in the establishment of mechanisms required to boost bilateral cultural collaborations. Sheema Kermani said culture brings people together, so it is necessary to have elaborate mechanisms for cultural collaboration backed and supported by both governments. It should
