Pakistan and China have signed several Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) to boost cooperation in the agricultural sector. These agreements involve 79 companies and aim to attract investments worth $4.5 billion.
The Pakistan–China agricultural investment deals cover ten major areas, including food processing, agri-technology, livestock, and related fields, showing a wide-ranging effort to modernize agriculture and increase productivity.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Commerce Minister, Jam Kamal Khan, met with Chandra Warsananto Sukotjo, the Ambassador of Indonesia. During the meeting, both sides agreed to promote rice trade and strengthen collaboration in the agricultural sector. Pakistan, being one of the world’s top rice exporters, could expand trade ties and access new markets through closer cooperation with Indonesia.
Earlier this month, Pakistan and China also agreed to improve coordination at both bilateral and multilateral forums, reaffirming their strong strategic partnership. This understanding was reached during the seventh round of the Pakistan–China Foreign Ministers’ Strategic Dialogue in Beijing, co-chaired by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar.
During the dialogue, both countries emphasized that their long-standing friendship is important for regional peace, stability, and prosperity, as well as for the development and growth of both nations.
