ISLAMABAD
\n\u201cEvery second here felt like home. The diversity of Xinjiang, its beautiful landscapes, and the spirit of harmony among different communities left a lasting impact on me,\u201d said Anusha Baig and Abdullah Jalal, who are visiting Xinjiang among the thirteen Pakistani students from the Confucius Institute jointly established by Xinjiang Agricultural University (XJAU) and the University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF).
\nFrom July 28 to August 6, the students visited Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Museum, Xinjiang Art Museum, Xinjiang International Grand Bazaar, and Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Science and Technology Museum, etc., attended lessons of Chinese language and Chinese society overview, and experienced Chinese calligraphy, Chinese tea art, Peking Opera mask making, Tai Chi, and Chinese paper-cutting.
\nFrom August 7 to 10, they will continue their tour in Beijing, China Economic Net (CEN) reported on Thursday. \u201cFrom bustling markets to peaceful mosques, every corner of Xinjiang tells a story of harmony and tradition. This trip gave me a deeper understanding of China\u2019s ethnic diversity and development, especially how Xinjiang blends modern progress with cultural preservation,\u201d Hamza Shabbir told CEN.
\nTalking about why they chose to learn Mandarin, \u201cas an Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering student, I understand how China\u2019s hub status in manufacturing makes this language vital,\u201d Anusha Baig said. \u201cWith China\u2019s growing influence in global trade, communication, and education, mastering the language is a smart investment,\u201d Qamar Waheed said.
\nAs a student from Gilgit-Baltistan and living near the Khunjerab Pass, Anusha Baig said she has seen how China has helped Pakistan\u2014especially Gilgit-Baltistan\u2014develop, which has brought true friendship between the two peoples in her mind.
\n\u201cI\u2019ve witnessed the impact of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in my hometown. Many employment opportunities, better infrastructure, and roads have been created. Diamer Basha Dam is under construction, and now the dream of travelling from Gilgit to Gwadar Port and the Arabian Sea Trading Hub is becoming a reality,\u201d she underscored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
