China's growth model opens opportunities for Pakistan

China's shift toward high-quality development under its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) will create new opportunities for Pakistan to expand cooperation with it, particularly through the upgraded development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, says Pakistan's ambassador.

Speaking to China Daily as the two countries mark 75 years of diplomatic relations, Khalil Hashmi said the 15th Five-Year Plan represents a new model of economic growth.

China's focus on science and technology, intelligent manufacturing, advanced manufacturing and new quality productive forces is especially relevant for developing countries looking for affordable technologies, industrial upgrading and new growth drivers, Hashmi said.
