The premier made these remarks in a meeting with a delegation from the Chinese space technology company Galaxy Space, led by the company’s Chairman Xu Ming.
Calling China a very trusted friend and a strategic partner, the prime minister emphasized that Pakistan places great importance on the space technology sector.
The delegation members also expressed strong interest in investing in Pakistan’s space technology industry and collaborating on joint projects with Pakistani space institutions and private telecom companies.
Thanking the Government of Pakistan for warm hospitality, they told the prime minister that their meetings with officials from the Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication and SUPARCO were very useful.
Separately, on Tuesday, the prime minister expressed satisfaction with the growing trajectory of bilateral ties with Rwanda, and said that Pakistan seeks to further strengthen mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields, particularly trade, investment, and people-to-people exchanges.
The prime minister met with Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Rwanda Ambassador Olivier JP Nduhungirehe, who is currently on an official visit to Pakistan.
The premier welcomed the dignitary and conveyed his good wishes to President Paul Kagame and Prime Minister Edouard Ngirente of Rwanda.
He extended an invitation to President Kagame to undertake an official visit to Pakistan.
The prime minister congratulated Rwanda on opening its resident Mission in Islamabad and said that it would prove instrumental in enhancing bilateral trade, particularly, through enhanced B2B interaction.
Meanwhile, the premier on Tuesday emphasized that Pakistan, along with other countries affected by climate change, requires special financial assistance from international financial institutions to address the challenges posed by climate change.
During a meeting with Luc Triangle, Secretary General International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC), at the PM House, the premier noted that Pakistan is among the countries most severely affected by climate change. “The 2022 floods alone caused losses amounting to $30 billion.”
He pointed out that these climate-related challenges have led to significant employment difficulties and losses for workers and labourers in Pakistan.
