Recently, HBL partnered with Pehle Aap (Private) Limited to hold a seminar on “CPEC - the way forward” focused on the development of Pakistan’s agricultural, fisheries and livestock sectors with the objective of increasing productivity through the transfer of Chinese technology and expertise and providing a source of exports to China and other countries. The seminar, held at the Karachi School of Business and Leadership (KSBL), was attended by leading members of Karachi’s business community and representatives of the agricultural industry. The Chinese delegation was led by Wu Yongqiang, Deputy Secretary General All-China Youth Federation, Press and Publication Sector. The Chinese delegation assessed Pakistan’s current agriculture infrastructure and exports and suggested a way forward to increase agricultural productivity, build the skills base in the rural sector, develop agricultural infrastructure and increase exports. The delegation suggested the development of e-marketing and supply-chain infrastructure on similar lines as developed in China, which has connected the rural Chinese economy with the mainstream economy.
