Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday urged for the creation of a tourism corridor between member countries of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in order to promote regional connectivity.
While addressing a leaders’ round table conference in China, the prime minister congratulated President Xi Jinping on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and said that China is an example of “a great success of the modern age”.
Establish a BRI Tourism Corridor for cultural and tourism exchanges.
Develop programmes for improving the skills of labour from labour-surplus countries to assist the labour-deficient countries.
Create multi-lingual digital platforms for connecting producers, consumers, and skilled job-seekers.
While explaining to the members of the conference the ties Pakistan and China have cultivated through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), he said that “to further boost connectivity and benefits under the Belt Road Initiative’s umbrella” digital connectivity amongst member countries is key.
The other areas stressed by the premier to strengthen the ties formed through the BRI included mobility of labour, cultivation of cultural links and connectivity through knowledge and innovation.
