ISLAMABAD, MAY 06 (DNA) — In a significant boost to Pakistan-China academic and technological cooperation, two major Pakistani universities—National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) and the University of Sargodha (UoS)—hosted high-profile Chinese delegations this week.  The engagements focused on advancing green innovation, clean energy, and vocational training, marking a deepening of bilateral ties under the broader Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

At NUST, the “NUST – SIEF Green and Low Carbon Summit” was jointly organized by NUST, COMSTECH, and the Sino-International Entrepreneurs Federation (SIEF), China. The event brought together a distinguished lineup of Chinese and Pakistani researchers, entrepreneurs, and policy experts committed to forging a sustainable and resilient future, Gwadar Pro reported on Tuesday.
