BEIJING, CHINA : Pakistan, Russia and Kazakhstan are regarded as “highly” cooperative countries in advancing China’s connectivity plan, through road, raid, and air and sea links. The three countries occupy prominent position in a list of 64 countries and regions cooperating with China in it’s Belt and Road Initiative.
In an official report released here, the Chinese government particularly eulogized the performance of Pakistan towards the Belt and Road initiative, in the background of China-Pakistan economic corridor.
The Belt and Road Initiative Data-Report 2016 analyzed five aspects of cooperation between China and the 64 countries – policy communication, connectivity, trade, finance and public support – and assigned an index number based on the comprehensive findings.
The report was written by the Belt and Road Initiative Big Data Center at the State Information Center. Based on more than 300 billion pieces of information collected by major statistical organizations and internet channels in all 64 countries and regions, the report makes a comprehensive assessment of the initiative’s development.
“The report provides a new vision and a new angle to demonstrate development of the Belt and Road Initiative to the public,” said Tian Jinchen, director of the Department of Western Region Development of the National Development and Reform Commission.
But China’s cooperation with 32 countries, or half the overall number, “needs to be enhanced,” according to the report.
It said there’s huge space for deepening cooperation between China and countries along the route in the next stage.
The report said international capacity cooperation between China and places along the initiative routes draws wide global attention, especially in five industries – automobiles, construction materials, iron and steel, railways and information technology.http://nation.com.pk/international/31-Oct-2016/pakistan-among-three-highly-cooperative-with-china-advancing-connectivity-plan
