Beijing and global innovative countries and regions are working together to explore a new multi-channel model of economic cooperation for the DSR
\n BEIJING
\nEuroAsia Pakistan Economy Forum held here to forge a new digitalized CPEC, China Economic Net (CEN) reported on Thursday. \u201cIn the next stage, the collaboration between Pakistan and China would extend from traditional to new, or to day upgraded economic corridors. For instance, the transportation, circulation and exchange of data,\u201d Shaza Fatima Khwaja, Minister of State for Information Technology and Telecommunication of Pakistan, said bluntly, at the EuroAsia Pakistan Digital Economy Forum.
\n\u201cPakistan\u2019s human resources could not be underestimated in the world. 60% of our population is under the age of 35, which is both an opportunity and a challenge. By working closely with China to provide systematic sci-tech training to such a huge talent pool, we are going to maximize the role of our valuable resources in such a digital age.\u201d
\nThe Minister gave a detailed introduction to the experience gained by Prime Minister Sharif after his recent visit to China with a delegation, repeatedly emphasizing that the Pakistani government has regarded the digital field as a top priority for current governance. Dr. Zhao Baige, recipient of the \u201cMedal of Excellence Crescent\u201d National Honorary Medal of Pakistan, echoed by a series of specific suggestion.
\n\u201cTraining of all types and levels badly need to be a top priority. Training at not only the government level, but also non-governmental and corporate levels should be included in the entire system, due to the cross-border connections are the key to the success of the entire digital economy revolution.
\nMoreover, Pakistani partners are very eager to form a CPEC digital economy park, in which Beijing has very rich experience. We hope that through our step-by-step construction, the China-Pakistan Digital Corridor will become an important leader in the global digital economy.\u201d
\nRegarding the digitalized CPEC, participants from both countries contributed wonderful ideas. \u201cWe are working hard to build our communication network through cables from China to Karachi and other cities in Pakistan under the framework of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
\nIn the future, whether it is Xinjiang, Karachi, or Gwadar Port, the digital corridor will make a huge difference,\u201d Marouf Ali Shahani, COO of Cyber Network Company, introduced. \u201cIn 2023, Beijing\u2019s digital economy has achieved an added value of 1.8 trillion-yuan, accounting for 42.9% of the region\u2019s GDP.\u201d
\nDeputy Secretary-General of the Beijing Municipal Government, Xu Xinchao, pointed out in his keynote speech at the forum that Beijing is accelerating the construction of a global digital economy benchmark city and exploring the construction of a \u201cDigital Silk Road\u201d pilot zone.
\n\u201cBeijing and global innovative countries and regions such as Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Pakistan are working together to explore a new multi-channel model of economic cooperation for the Digital Silk Road.
\nSo, how can data connectivity be applied to the cooperation framework? Enterprises from both countries have already created the first spark of cooperation, looking forward to a bright future. \u201cPakistan has abundant medical resources, but hospitals are highly independent of each other, thus doctors have to repeatedly enter data and passwords when using different systems, which wastes their precious time.
\nThe inability to share data between medical institutions means that patients sometimes have to wait for hours to get diagnosis results,\u201d said Shoaib Ahmed Khan, CEO of Engineering Advanced Research Center.
\n\u201cThrough brainstorming with Pakistani partners, we have full confidence in the local market. It is entirely feasible to bring domestic medical informationization standards to Pakistan. We also look forward to more win-win cooperation with our Pakistani counterparts,\u201d Vice President of Donghua Medway Technology Co., Ltd, Huang Hongxia, envisioned. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
