October 12,2020

At the invitation of H.E. Mr. Song Tao, Minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, Ambassador Moin ul Haque participated in a seminar on “Poverty Eradication and the Responsibility of Political Parties”.

In his speech on poverty eradication and sustainable human development, the Ambassador complimented China’s progress against Covid-19 and lifting its population from the clutches of poverty. He said that China’s remarkable progress had validated the strength of its unique system giving priority to its People’s well-being. “It was not important what governance systems we follow in our countries; our governance systems should be responsive to the people and their needs”, the Ambassador said.

The Ambassador also called the attention of the participants to strengthening of the UN and promoting multilateralism. He called for collective and effective response to narrow-minded efforts aimed at the politicization of the pandemic.  Instead of being deterred by temporary headwinds or the criticism of detractors pursuing their own agenda and vested interests, we must adhere to the long-term mission of serving the people.

Over decades of close cooperation, Pakistan and China had forged a unique partnership featuring unparalleled mutual trust and respect. CPEC, which was a flagship project of President Xi’s Belt and Road Initiative, had laid a sound foundation for modernization of Pakistan’s economy, expanding its scope to socioeconomic development by providing benefits to our people.

In concluding, the Ambassador stated that Pakistan looked forward to working with China and the international community to share experiences for the common benefit of the people.
