Bangladesh’s High Commissioner to Pakistan, Muhammad Iqbal Hussain Khan, has underscored the importance of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as a pivotal project for global connectivity and economic prosperity. He stated that the BRI would serve as a milestone in fostering trade and financial development by linking countries through extensive road networks. The high commissioner expressed these views during his visit to China Window, a Chinese cultural and information center in Peshawar. He was accompanied by senior Bangladeshi diplomats stationed in Pakistan.

 

 

During the visit, High Commissioner Khan explored various galleries of China Window, where he gained insights into the cultural, economic, and technological advancements of China. He also signed the Friendship Wall as a symbol of goodwill and recorded his impressions in the center’s guestbook.

 

 

Addressing students enrolled in Chinese language courses at the center, High Commissioner Khan stressed the significance of linguistic skills in today’s globalized world. He remarked that nations which embrace multilingualism alongside their native languages are better positioned to progress and compete internationally. “Learning diverse languages is the key to unlocking global job opportunities, and I highly commend the efforts of China Window in providing Chinese language education to the youth of Peshawar,” he added.

 

Later, while speaking to the media, High Commissioner Khan emphasized the longstanding and friendly relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh. He noted that both countries are on a steady path of development and encouraged mutual investment in various sectors, particularly trade and industry. “There are vast opportunities for investors from both nations, and I believe they should seize these opportunities for mutual benefit,” he stated. He also expressed optimism regarding the initiation of direct flights between Pakistan and Bangladesh in the near future to further boost economic and cultural ties.

 

High Commissioner Khan shared his delight in visiting Peshawar, highlighting its rich cultural heritage and economic potential. On the first day of his visit, he attended a briefing at the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Economic Zones Management Company, where he was informed about the establishment of several special economic zones aimed at fostering economic growth and creating employment opportunities in the province.

 

He also visited the Institute of Management Sciences (IMSciences), where he engaged with students and faculty, discussing potential areas of collaboration in education and skill development. During his three-day visit, the high commissioner is scheduled to meet with local traders and industrialists to explore business opportunities and further strengthen bilateral trade relations.

 

 

Commenting on Bangladesh’s recent progress, High Commissioner Khan noted that following the youth-driven revolution, the country has achieved remarkable stability and economic growth. “Bangladesh is now on the road to success, and we are committed to strengthening regional cooperation with our neighboring countries,” he affirmed.

 

The visit of the Bangladeshi High Commissioner to China Window reflects the growing interest in fostering cultural and economic ties between the two nations, further promoting mutual understanding and collaboration.
