[Global Times Special Correspondent in Pakistan Cheng Shijie] "China's development model is the 'inspiration source' for Pakistan." According to Pakistan United News Agency, Pakistan's Minister of Planning and Development Iqbal said in a visit to China on the 2nd that Pakistan will learn from China's experience and develop an export-oriented and technology-driven economy. Iqbal said that at present, Pakistan and China are deepening cooperation in multiple fields, emphasizing that the second phase of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor will focus on the promotion of industrial parks, agricultural modernization development and high-tech cooperation, and focus on cultivating skilled and well-educated labor.

The Associated Press said that as a landmark project of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor was launched in 2013, connecting the Gwadar Port in southern Pakistan and Kashgar, Xinjiang, China. The first phase mainly involves cooperation in energy and transportation infrastructure.

Iqbal also introduced that the Pakistani government is carrying out a "Pakistan Takeoff" plan, aiming to cultivate more workforces that are in line with industrialization and modern development and stimulate Pakistan to achieve sustainable economic growth. This plan is completely consistent with the vision of the second phase of the development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

"Pakistan Today" commented on the 3rd that thanks to the construction of the first phase of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Pakistan's industrial activities increased, logistics levels improved, and investor confidence increased, which injected long-term impetus into the national economy.

In addition, Iqbal also said: "The people of Pakistan are proud of their long-term friendship with the Chinese people." According to Pakistan's Dawn, during this visit to China, Iqbal also attended the launch ceremony of the Pakistani remote sensing satellite 01 satellite customized procurement from China. According to the Pakistan Space and High-level Atmospheric Research Committee, this model satellite has a high resolution and wide amplitude, and has a strong timeliness of information sent back, which can effectively meet Pakistan's actual needs in the fields of land and resources census, environmental protection, disaster monitoring, crop yield estimation, etc.
