Pakistan’s Consul General in Shanghai, Hussain Haider, has expressed his admiration for China217;s remarkable modernization journey, viewing it as a valuable source of inspiration for Pakistan as it strives to achieve similar development goals.
He praised China217;s achievements in economic growth, technological advancement, and social progress, noting that the country’s transformation from a closed economy to a global leader in many industries is truly remarkable.
In an interview with China Economic Net during the ongoing China217;s two sessions, namely the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), which saw the gathering of China217;s top legislators and political advisors to discuss and decide on key national policies, he said, the two sessions are a crucial event that showcases China217;s democratic system and its commitment to improving the lives of its people. Haider said, “The decisions and policies outlined during these sessions will undoubtedly shape China217;s future and its role in the global community.” As Consul General in Shanghai for the past four years, he has closely followed the proceedings of the two sessions and is encouraged by the focus on economic policies, livelihood security and international collaboration.
The Consul General noted that China217;s GDP growth target of approximately 5% for the year is a testament to its strong economic policies and commitment to sustainable and inclusive growth.
The World Economic Outlook report released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in January of this year predicts global economic growth this year to be 3.1%. China is expected to surpass the global average in 2024 and will remain a major contributor to global economic growth. “China217;s GDP target for 2024 demonstrates its confidence in its economic future and its commitment to high-quality development,” he stated.
The whole world acknowledges that China217;s economic development over the past 45 years has been phenomenal.
Hussain Haider highlighted that “China continues to open up and liberalize its economy, which has a significant impact on its trading partners and has played a crucial role in global economic stability and recovery.
