The Pakistan-China Institute signed a landmark memorandum in Beijing on 23 October to promote Green Development between the two countries, marking the first time a Pakistani institution has formalised such an agreement with the BRI International Green Development Coalition (BRIGC). The agreement sets a framework to deepen Pakistan-China cooperation on environment and climate change under the Belt and Road Initiative and to drive low-carbon progress across CPEC as it enters its second phase.<\/p>\n
Under the MoU, both sides committed to close coordination to advance green and low-carbon cooperation, including joint research into Pakistan-China Green Development opportunities, co-organised consultation workshops, and joint report launches with experts and stakeholders. The pact also foresees mutual support for key studies and activities and the development of high-level policy recommendations on green energy, low-carbon transportation, and other strategic issues relevant to Pakistan and other BRI partners.<\/p>\n
The agreement was signed for Pakistan by Mustafa Hyder Sayed<\/strong>, Executive Director of the Pakistan-China Institute, and for China by Chen Gang<\/strong>, Secretary General of BRIGC. The signing was witnessed by Dr. Shezra Mansab Ali Kharal<\/strong>, Minister of State for Climate Change of Pakistan, and Zhao Yingmin<\/strong>, former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of China, underscoring the high-level support for joint green initiatives.<\/p>\n Mustafa Hyder Sayed described the timing of the MoU as significant, coming just before the COP30 conference in Brazil. He said the agreement recognises the Pakistan-China Institute’s role in promoting Green Development in Pakistan and will provide momentum for greening CPEC projects, helping ensure the corridor’s next phase aligns with low-carbon and sustainable goals.<\/p>\n The collaboration aims to translate Green Development objectives into practical policies and projects, supporting renewable energy deployment, cleaner transport options and other low-carbon solutions tailored to Pakistan’s needs. By leveraging joint research and shared expertise, the MoU seeks to position CPEC as a model for sustainable BRI implementation in the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Pakistan-China MoU accelerates Green Development for CPEC with joint research and policy action ahead of COP30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":13042,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[94],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13043"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13043\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peakpoint.pk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
