HZAU aims to enhance joint projects and agricultural trade with Pakistan, focusing on areas such as genetic improvement of crops, molecular breeding, animal infectious diseases, and aquaculture. The collaboration aims to leverage Chinese expertise and Pakistan’s diverse resources for mutual benefit.
The partnership builds on ongoing efforts between PARC and Chinese institutions, fostering scientific collaboration and advancing high-tech agricultural research in Pakistan. The delegation from HZAU visited various research facilities, expressing admiration for ongoing initiatives at the National Agricultural Research Centre.
